Infinity's Armory, nothing to look forward to?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

So the new update is right around the corner, and there are complaints that 343 haven’t added anything in that the community is asking them to. While this is quite true, we know that there are things like playlists and fixes, which they’re working on as we speak. Yes, it’s taking a hella long time, and it’s getting quite annoying. But I’m still enjoying myself on Halo 5 in general, and I find myself still playing almost every day.

Going back to Infinity’s Armory, I gotta say, I really love the look of the Achilles armor set. Problem is, it’s so hard to obtain. I don’t mind unlocking it through the Spartan Company commendations. But I feel that this feature was added in so late that my SC is so far behind on the commendation progress. I guess we’ll continue grinding away.

On the other hand, the two new Carbine REQs look AMAZING. Full-auto and extended mag?? That would be awesome. And the other one is basically the Needle Rifle, from Halo Reach, from what I can tell. Sweet. Totally digging it.

Alas, people are complaining about the Halo 2 BR, that nobody would even use it because of it’s short range. Well, that depends on your playstyle and the map you’re playing on. If I’m focusing on defending bases, I don’t think I’d need that much range on my BR. The zoom on the Sentinel BR can be annoying to get out of when you really need to.

Furthermore, think the new Warzone Assault map looks really interesting. Problem is, NOBODY -Yoinking!- PLAYS IT. And why not??? On average, it gives you around 8000 RP per hour. That’s 2000 more than all the other playlists. It’s quick and fun, but I haven’t managed to get a single game in since the first few weeks of Halo 5.

Ultimately, I think this update is bringing some good stuff to the table. So far, so good.

People are complaining about the Halo 2 BR? All I can see is people freaking out about it.

Well if people got their way then halo 5 would be garbage, let 343i do them and you just do you and everything will be fine. BTW quit complaining and just play the dang game.

I am looking forward to the update. Have been saving my few points…

I’ve seen both kinds of reactions tbh. What’s there not to like, am I right??

Exactly. THANK you.

More stuff is always welcome, but it’s not really what the community needs right now…

Hmm what’s your take on it, then? What’s missing?

11

I’m starting to think that 343 planned exactly what they’re going to add in each monthly update before Halo 5 was released, and they’re stubbornly sticking to said plan despite all of us requesting what we want added to the game.

More original maps, gametypes, playlists- a lot of things. The REQs are nice, but superficial.

Agreed. Refer to Rhydon65’s reply above ^

I think they may need more time to figure out some balance issues before they put some of these playlists out to the players, though. I’m okay with waiting, but hopefully they have their priorities straight.

People just like to nitpick on the small things. I’d enjoy the little things, even if they aren’t what I wanted.

16

Honesty I have no use for the br

17

Um, no nobody wanted a stupid ar pizza or more emblems for that matter. Its nice and all but if I’m going by design aspects whoever in their right mind thought we wanted most of these weapon skins/emblems is obviously not paying attention. The armors are okay but to accept another remix( which isn’t over btw there is still the Rig remix with lava to be shown) and Warzone assault map which is basically battle of noctus edited. I’m not sure about you but certain are starting to slowly realize this is the content we are getting unless told otherwise.

I’ve been thinking that myself.

I mean technically you can already plan out the whole game and just cut out content to be later added. An example would be Halo 2 and Halo 3. I mean they technically did change certain things but Halo 2 had that trailer where you can play in this whole level never seen in the game they could of easily added it in the game but cut it. Halo 3 had this whole forest level to be played but instead we got the mission with those two scarabs and a multiplayer map called Guardian that was basically based on that level. It was planned so things that 343i cut out could technically be added as maps or as such.

No? What does your standard Warzone loadout look like, then?
