Games Halo 5: Guardians

am I the first at this?? oh gawd oh gawd!! oh please may I be the first!! this is too much pressure! ok fine screw it I’m posting it! Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained!

^Check it out^

added content (DLC or a Fixer??? IDK!)
but I will say one thing… they made a typo! it’s not “Ninja” Armor! it is Samurai Armor! and yes it is a huge deal! cause Ninjas do not and did not wear armor. just saying. you can’t strike from the shadows wile you are wearing armor making this added content name really funny. and you may as well have added in Hybussa Armor as an Added Armor.

BTB maps… Awesome! back to normality!
no added Warzone maps? so not DLC clearly a Fixer.
no added Story? ok so long lives good names with added content.
more Weapon Variants (Skins with power) so nothing new on that side of the field
more power skinned mech? ^ yeah pretty much same as above ^ so no adding new toys for our toy box?? “Daddy I want… A TRANSFORMER FOR CHRISTMAS”

as for maps… Nice to see Blood Gulch to return! as for the others they said that it wouldn’t be anything new (like NEW, new) but those maps are basically minor changes and updated graphics. so polish on the polish.

and I’m liking the emblems (yes even though we can’t play around with them like we could in previous Halo games)

comment your thoughts below and I’ll see you on the Battle Field!
“Daddy Somebody stole my toy from my toy box!!!”

> But Big Team Battle is the cherry on top, and you’ll recognize elements and aspects of the first four maps in the mix, but all four have been, in varying ways, significantly adjusted for the new mobility, weapons and features of Halo 5

I wonder if that means the first 4 maps will be forge remakes/re-envisionings of past Halo maps?

4

Yeah… several threads have talked about it already

5

sorry OP, you are not the first. :frowning:

6

So when does the update actually come out?

Hence my uncontrollable anxiety over if I should post this thread or not.

I’m incredibly excited for BTB. That IS my main gametype and the sole reason for playing Halo 4 and MCC . I do expect it to be harder due to ranking, But I’m cool with that.

Shoot! That sucks… Was so hoping that I’d beat everyone to the punch, well I guess I’ll have to settle for 4th place. Too bad really. :frowning:

Before the end of the month. They haven’t placed a set date yet.

From the picture of the two Spartan teams colliding… Look in the background. I have a strong suspicion that a Blood Gulch type map is coming our way. And it is a all time fan favourite. Would you be upset if it were?

That was probably basin. The valhalla inspired map

Oh I sure hope so. Been looking around… Can’t find an exact date… So it could be. Either way it’s nothing to sneeze at (atm)! and if this is a fixer then can you imagine what legit DLC is going to look like?

Hopefully it is. I’m also wondering if you will be ranked for BTB as they are putting it into arena.

Either way it’s a two based semtrical map. Pretty much what I was saying :wink:

Release is next week, says right in the link. Also that is valhalla not blood gulch and yes SAMURAI armor.

That feel when shinobi armor is samurai armor
