Reading the DLC of the older games takes me back…

Back in my day we had 1 forge canvas, it was a single warehouse and we could only really place crates and a few trucks and we had to share the rock.

Yes… look at those maps added… classics that bring back memories… h5 wow 6. Not counting remixes. It is mostly cosmetic crap… thanks for showing us bro…

Should also point out that its highly likely more maps are on their way. There should be a Sanghelios themed WZA map arriving soon (whether it will be a remix like Urban or a new map like Prospect I don’t know). I also wouldn’t be surprised if remixes of Tyrant or Coliseum were to appear.

The problem is that HALO 5 DOES NOT HAVE ANY DLCs.
These are UDPATES.
NOT DLC.

Well they are content and you download them so I think they count, I do get you point though, might change the title to Post Launch content or something.

Note added Campaign Score attack, Warzone Fire-Fight and Warzone Boss refresh to Halo 5 PLC section.

Commander, with all due respect DLC stands for “Downloadable Content”. We all downloaded these content updates so…

This, I mean sure its not conventional DLC but it is content and we downloaded it.

I’m interested to see what is coming after this update, Maybe they will say something on the livestream this week.

New warzone map > Attack on sanctum but there isn’t an assault verison of it. Will 343i continue to make free content?

It’s likely the Sanghelios WZA map will drop in the next few months, we know its coming.

This game has received way better post launch support than any other halo. The gameplay is one of my favorites as well. After this WZFF update, the only thing holding this game back is its social arena gametypes.

I want actionsack, team doubles, team snipers, fiesta, assault, oddball, grifball, infection, shotty snipers, big team to all have their own playlist and be permanent. Then have gamestypes like Mythic fiesta, mythic shotty snipes and any other crazy gametypes (like husky raid please) to be the weekend “limited” events.

Man that’s a lot. We had got the most post content but the updates aren’t over. They might be not updates patches I think.

I think they should add Regicide and KotH back, I miss those two. I also don’t get why they don’t have Oddball or Ricochet since both of those can already be made in customs.

I think my dream playlist lineup would be;

  • Slayer
  • Swat
  • FFA
  • Breakout
  • Team objective (CTF, Assault, Strongholds, Oddball, KotH, Regiside)
  • Doubles
  • A playlist that swaps between Team Snipers, Team swords and Team rockets on a weekly basis
  • A playlist that swaps between Grifball and Ricochet on a weekly basis
  • BTB slayer
  • BTB objective
  • Infection
  • a weekend playlist (fiesta, husky raid, that sort of thing.

I think since we are going through them right now, a lot of people really do not know how much as dropped. Which looking at all this, it’s a ton

This actually makes a really good point. PDLC/Map Packs were still better though. I’m fairly certain most of the maps in this game, including the update remixes, have existed for years. At least, that’s what I hear.

Well people today always concentrate on the negatives and not the positives.

You forgot game types

> You forgot game types

I don’t normally subscribe to the “it should have been in at launch” mentality, the exception is with the pre-existing gametypes the ball gametypes at least should have been in at launch, maybe there was a reason they got delayed, I don’t know, it just confuses me that assault/grifball/ricochet/oddball were not in the game earlier.

also they should add oddball and ricochet to matchmaking.
