Remember back then...

…when we would look forward to reading the Community Update to see the req sheets of all the new reqs coming in the updates? Just drooling over all the new armors/reqs? Man, I miss those days so much :’)

Honestly I’m curious if this week 343 will address the “Taboo” topic of the week. I can only hope they listen to the community, rather than making a poor decision based on “balancing”….oh please not again I can’t handle another bad decision due to the excuse being balancing.

Yeah it was pretty fun guessing what we were going to get.

Halo Wars 2 feels that gap, with those leaders :smiley:

I always loved watching most people overhype each update. Made fridays pretty fun reading the community updates.

I definitely wasn’t ever “drooling” over new armor or REQs… I was excited for the maps, as we all should be, but when most of the maps under-deliver… :thinking:

I cant wait for this weeks update! :slight_smile:

Which other games get you hyped every month with speculation on what the blurred legendary card could be? It was so fun trying to decipher the req sheets. Here’s to hoping we get a blurred req sheet next week.

Yeah, I loved seeing all the reqs on those req sheets!

Yeah I loved getting back cut content “free dlc” ,60% of the game in 10 separate updates. It sure did keep me very interested in the game, keeping up with my reqs and collection.

I hope 343 at least puts out one final update.

Please cite evidence that proves it was cut content.

I’m not going to do a research study for you and look at the exact videos and times of them, but you can go back in the Sprint series and see everything already being made before launch. Did you play Halo 5 at launch? You must know that the post-game carnage reports were not developed at all, NO FORGE, 3 warzone maps, and a very low amount of gamemodes. No griffball, no BTB, no infection, no extra variants of already varianted armor, no customs browser, is that enough or you want me to go on?

All those things listed were planned to be held back and released as updates.

Those were the good days!

Yeah, I remember. Been awhile since, hopefully we get some news on an update.

Agreed. I hope we get something and soon!

Might be the only reason why I would come back here now and then, but I pretty much see stuff about HCS, which I do not care for…

Yes, you saw people working on unfinished weapons. Who’s to say they weren’t still unfinished by launch?

Yes, I was there on October 27, 2015, with only 7 playlists and a crappy campaign. I believe some things were held back like the first update and some weapons later on, but to say 60% of the updates were cut content without any evidence to back it up is just crazy.

I wasn’t a complete fan because it meant having to more stuff to unlock which was a pain when I didn’t have 100% completion.
