Two new maps, and a few skins? I was under the impression there would be game types, since they spoke about how much they were working on them. Worse, I can’t even look at these new REQs yet. I know that will be resolved and I’m not that upset about that portion, but feels like a light update for how much they hyped it up.
The gametypes and such are in the February update.
LOL
someone didnt read the FULL patch notes

It is a little on the light side, that’s true. But, I am thankful for the update nonetheless. Gives me more to collect. The stances are nice, the emblems are solid, and the fixes are all around great. Jumped back into H5 today after a month of being away and my Warzone match was phenomenal! Best I’ve had in a looong time.
You are right- it’s a lighter update- but I’m glad we got it. Gives me a reason to jump back into the world of Halo. One I hold close.
PLUS, did you see the February sneak peak? Gravity Hammers? and did you notice the new Brute emblem is a Legendary? I’m smelling a February Brute Update!

Keep telling yourselves this… Josh said ONE gametype was “in the works” and might come out by the end of February.
We need Social Slayer, Doubles, Team Snipers NOW. I am so sick of 343 I may go kick a squirrel.
Hey, at least we don’t have to pay money for these new maps and such, I think that’s one thing we can all be grateful for in that thus far 343 hasn’t tried to squeeze more money out of us

You’re right. He forgot the useless, ugly REQs. Not to mention the 2 maps are REMAKES of previous maps. 343i has seriously given up trying at this point.
I dont get how people are surprised about this new update/DLC. The preview was posted like a week ago, and the twitch livestream was over the weekend. A livestream where they talked about new game modes for the February update yet people are shocked at the lack of them for IA to point of a torch and pitchfork mob . Where did you get the impression that new game modes would be included in Infinity Armory?

This post just made me sad. The fact that halo players these day have to get excited about being able to use a gravity hammer, get a stance that no one will see, and a brute emblem really speaks to the current pathetic states of the game. Those are not things that should be exciting at all
There were quite a lot of QoL changes for forge users which they have been begging for and of course some new forge objects which they have also been begging for. Just because you didn’t get what you wanted doesn’t mean it was a bad patch.

One gametype that’s equal to five classic gametypes plus new ones on top of those.
Grifball, Assault, Oddball, and Ricochet are returning next month on top of new ball-related gametypes. Is it just one now?
Also, Social Slayer, Doubles, and Snipers are not gametypes, they are variants of slayer that don’t have playlists. Gametypes and playlists are two different things.
The OP is difficult for me. What’s my favorite, where he discredits 343 for an assumption he made that had no basis of support, or where he’s even more upset that he has to wait several hours to see the reqs that come with the update?

Sorry I made you sad! Hopefully you’ll bounce back quickly. Think about happy things like kittens. Yeah… kittens are good.
True, maybe things like this shouldn’t "excite" an everyday player. But for a guy who plays the game very casually, and with his friends and family- well, it’s enough for me. If I were playing this game on the daily- it probably wouldn’t be too exhilarating. . . but for someone like me, it’s a nice bag of chips. I’ve got a lot of games on my plate. An update like this is enough to bring me back for a few weeks, then take off again to another game with another update. The flow of causality is a marvelous thing my friend. Try it sometime

I actually don’t play the game anymore at all, I am just lamenting what the game has become since I used to love the halo franchise so much.
if you where under the impression then you can’t be upset, spend 10 minutes on this forum and you would know that Gametypes come out in February
the reason people expected game modes/playlists with this update is because its unacceptable to have this few playlists. this game desperately needs variety. we thought they answered our calls somewhat by bringing us holiday social and holiday doubles. i assumed they would replace these with permanent playlists, or just other temporary ones after there holiday. i was very wrong.
the real fact is people are leaving this game because of the lack of variety mainly in playlists. most people will not keep playing just to get new weapon skins, stances, and play 2 new maps (very rarely). i have many friends who are really bored with halo 5 already and looking for the next game. lots of them didn’t even buy it because of split screen. now they are refusing to give us playlists that are obviously ready to go (snipers, rockets, doubles, social, and more) and it makes no sense. i understand grifball and KOTH and stuff are not ready, they made that clear.
They did not make it clear why they haven’t brought back any of the temporary playlists they tease us with. Theres NO reason we can’t have doubles and snipers back at least. That is why everyone is upset. we aren’t mad that they didn’t include grifball, we all knew they weren’t going to. but game types like doubles could literally be added today if they wanted, and since they haven’t made any comments on it we were all hoping they might bring back something essential that this game needs; variety.
343 is so lazy this game might be “dead” for me soon. once all my friends don’t want to play it anymore i won’t have much reason to play unfortunately. even the MCC had more variety than this game. Warzone is stale, there aren’t enough social playlists, and there arent enough game types and quality maps. Community maps can obviously be put into a playlist easily. if BTB is all forge maps already why not just give us some good community remake forge maps? That would not be hard (as we see with community breakout).
Give us SOMETHING as far as a playlist before the end of february. please.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. A lot of people in this thread are missing the point; we know the ball game types are coming, and Grifball is coming, but why Doubles and Team Snipers are not permanent is beyond me. It’s not like there’s already too many playlists or anything… there’s barely any!
