Early April Update ("March") REQs

We know we are getting new suppressors (cool), new weapons skins (some of which we got in the special REQ packs during HWC), and that new mantis (as well as unnamed armor sets).

What other new REQ cards are yall expecting to be there?
I am still waiting on the Valkyrie emblem (I used this since Halo 3, but I do like my grizzly tank emblem in H5) and infection (though not a REQ still…). When will we get more information on when and what is in the new update which is hopefully quickly approaching?

I’m still waiting on a working file share permanent doubles oddball some
decent maps non forged BtB maps

screw more pointless reqs

I really want oddball!

I’m hoping for new bosses, hopefully they have more area on the map that they can move to rather than being stationary looks at hunters. For reqs, I’d like a new forerunner based armor, similar to prefect, and possibly some new animated emblems like True Light. Community BTB maps would make the game mode much more fun.

Good ideas, I almost forgot about Prefect. It makes sense that we would have more armor that is based on the forerunners or promethians (with how much we fight them now). Animated emblems is a good idea and wish they could make more too.

You can make oddball in custom games, but an official permanent playlist would be awesome

I really couldn’t care any less about more REQ cards at this point. Halo 5 needs more playlists and game modes and less pointless REQ, armor variations.

Still waiting for infection. Really want this to happen in the next update

Need more maps for warzone too

As a somewhat casual player, only level 23, I have only unlocked just over 25% of all the cosmetic REQs. I feel like they are bringing them out faster than i can unlock them.
All I want is the Ranger Helmet haha!

we usually get newsetters on Friday? Or Thursday… I can’t remember at the moment… but either today or tomorrow i’ll bet we find out more info… and i thought i read somewhere that April 2nd was the new update.

And BTB.
But don’t worry, everyone. I’m sure social snipers will be the weekend playlist again.

I’m pretty content with my War master helmet… but i’m in the same boat… i don’t have the time like i used to to put in hours of play.

I have the War Master, and lovin’ it. But my Halo 4 go-to combo was Fotus body with Ranger helmet. I just wanna get my nostalgia back on ahah!

Infection over anything else

Confirmed:
Hannibal systems mantis (rockets and some sort of railgun looking weapon(unconfirmed what it really is)
Darkstar warzone map
2 new surpressor variants
AR skin described as “halo 3 AR like” by ign. i lost the link.

There are some items that will probably be added included are:
new armor and helmets
new assassinations
new stances
new visors
new emblems

Then there are the following RUMORS
Infection
Oddball
BTB (probably not it would make more sense to add this in the wild hog update)
New unconfirmed arena map.

Then there have been rumors, not a lot but still, that because they will add a hannibal mantis, that there will also be hannibak variants of all other unsc vehicles as well. ( like with the tiger/woodland variants)
Of the above statement is almost no information at all so this is highly doubtful.

this list and the history of previous updates make it likely that this will be all (minus btb and hannibal unsc vehicles other than the mantis).

HOWEVER
There is something perticular that catches my attention. Leading up to the hammerstorm update it was widely known that the higly anticipated griffball mode was to be added. I wonder why they haven’t given a clue about infection. This makes me doubt that infection will be added in this update.

Still wishing for them to add the REQs into forge as part of the update or next ones… be fun to make gametypes around a powerful weapon like the heatseeker

My friend and I have already made maps/gametypes for when this update comes out. Although I highly doubt it will I just sit and wait.

I don’t have the link (lost in the numerous twitter pings for @Halo) yet they did say they are working on it or will. Here is to the action happening…
