Big Updates:
- Big Team Battle with new maps (remakes): DEADLOCK (standoff), RECURVE (longbow), BASIN (Valhalla/ blood gulch), GUILLOTINE (headlong),
- New Reqs
- Swat changes (respawn timer changed from 1 second to 3 seconds)
- Warzone Assault being re-balanced (Faster REQ leveling, capturing bases from 20s to 16s, spawn with 1 grenade to prevent nade spam)
> On that topic, the first Halo 5: Guardians update, Battle of Shadow and Light, is set to drop within the next few days.
Speaking of trolls, it’s worth mentioning that we’ve been keeping a very close eye on REQ point and XP boosting, and the exploits some players are using to idle in matches in an attempt to fill their very own Money Bin with a ton of REQ points and XP. Our data team at the studio has not only caught this behavior, but we’ve also started taking action against offending accounts, including bans and removal of all REQ points. Most of you need not worry about this, as you’re aware that REQ points and XP are only awarded for honor and bravery on the battlefield.

If there is a will there is a way for people.
where’s the new warzone map
While I’m happy about the update, that Venture helmet is the strangest, most absolutely bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. When I look at it, all I can think is: What. The. -Yoink-.
One big thing from this update, is postgame stats, and medals etc. I am so psyched about this.
Well this sucks. I was enjoying all these “343 DOES NOT LISTEN” threads.
Still no Infection it seems unfortunately.

A bit impatient are we? They will release more Warzone maps in the future, its only been a few weeks.

Sorry to disappoint.

My guess is that they are going to do it in a weekend playlist first before bringing it out full time
Nice troll post. Should’ve been out by now according to them saying a week from the update that removed Orion.

Does it somehow disturb you that I don’t attach smileys to my questions, because all I’m doing is asking normal questions…

Medal viewing soon to be available, as it always should have been! Thumbs up 343!

Temper expectations. Seems like that will only happen on Waypoint.
Disappointed by how Guillotine looks. Even Halo 2’s Headlong looks more attractive than that.
Where does the “Shadow and Light” part fit into this update though.

No. Read.
“Our friends on the Waypoint team have planned an update of their own this week, too. They’re sneaky and clever like that. For starters, we’ll see an improved post game carnage report (PGCR) for Arena and Warzone, including:
IMPROVED ARENA / WARZONE PGCR
Weapons
You’ll see all of the weapons the player used in the round with kills, accuracy, and headshots.
Most Killed
You’ll see the player you killed the most, along with the amount of times you killed them.
Most Killed By
You’ll see the player who killed you the most, along with the amount of times they killed you.
Medals
You’ll see all of the medals the player has earned with an indication of how many times it was earned, ordered by times earned.”
