Can we just stop judging these updates before they come to us?
First, the armors always look different in-game than they do in the previews they give us. For some reason those preview renders always look plastic-y. Don’t know why they use that kind of lighting.
Second, this update looks to have less content. Now, while that may seem like a bad thing, let me finish. What we here on Waypoint have (validly) complained about the previous updates is being massive REQ dumps, bloating the already large pool of emblems, stances, and weapon skins. This update, to my count, has 6 emblems, 1 visor, 1 stance, 2 assassinations, and 1 set of weapon skins. These are what I’ve found on these forums does not constitute content, but REQ dumping.
What it does have is 5 new armors: 3 variations of Dynast (which, again, reserve judgement until you see it in-game. it always looks different), a new skin for Mark V Alpha, and what looks like a new skin for Mark IV (that’s my best guess, since it’s mythic with a large visor). It has 2 new maps: a Warzone one (which take a while to make because of size and AI) and another we know nothing about. It could just be the WZA, but we have no clue. It could also be a good post-launch Arena map (it is possible). We have 3 new variations of the Gravity Hammer, and two new variations of the Suppressor. Pretty sure all of these are included in “real content”.
It is not a REQ dump to bloat the REQ system. They don’t have tons of stuff we don’t want. It seems to me like they listened from last time.
People are always going to find something to complain about. No matter what gets put into the game, people are going to complain about something. The only thing so far that’s been shown in the upcoming Ghosts of Meridian update that has my attention is the “Steak-tacular” emblem…and normally I don’t get hyped up for an emblem.
The armours are not disliked because they are plastic looking? Where the hell did you get that idea, they look stupid so people hate them, Mk V Alpha got hate when it came out yet they did another version?? I’d happily have a Mk IV because that looks like Mk V should (the helmet)

Didnt say they were. But they are being judged based off of how they look in the preview, and not the in-game render. I learned that with the Raijin helmet. I liked the way it looked, but it looks kind of odd in game. I also learned it with Decimator. I thought the bumps were a little too prominent, even though it isn’t Mark V , and they just stuck out too much. But it was just the way it was rendered. The bumps are not very noticeable in-game. Just saying to not pre-judge the armors, mostly in reference to the Dynast set.

Stop buying Golds. Stick with silvers until you’ve got all your common to rare items. That should give you a good variety of loadout weapons to choose from while you go back to grinding golds.
We complain. It’s what we do. Even Halo 3 threads were LOADED with complaints and that is arguably (take note I said arguably) the pinnacle of the franchise.

I know, but we could at least try to be consistent with the complaints.
I haven’t said much about updates really merely asked at times when they might release, The other day in fact i saw a post on reddit from one of the community guys so i just casually asked how far into april might we see this update I had all kinds of hate saying i should be ashamed and all sorts the community is bonkers its official!
Does anyone know if the new map is just for regular warzone, assault or both?
Also are they bringing any new modes like Juggernaught?
TBH I was more impressed by them dropping all of those BTB maps. Which IMO they really, really should have done months ago when forge was available.
I would like to see more Covenant and Forerunner maps. I mean its a little odd that they have the lore buffs pushing the Created as a faction but no actual Promethean maps. Also, a well designed warehouse is still a warehouse.
Also one great idea for a map. They should do a map where you are mag booted onto a Guardian like in the campaign.
Ghosts of meridian was marchs content update wasn’t it? That was until it got moved to early April, My wondering is this does that mean Aprils content update or what was originally meant for April will instead be in may?

True, but i would suggest that theres 1 map and a hidden new playlist, would be freaking awesome if we got 2 maps but i dont think we get such a good update ^^ still i’m prepaired, for every req you need 110000 reqs and i got 105000, now only the update needs to show up

No, there are no leaks to the content. Click on top of the site on community, there are the news we have to ghost of meridian, until they update the news, we know nothing more than being postet already
