Many people are upset with the new update, others think it will be the best but what do you think?
The fact that they’re finally adding Grifball, is huge. The last map they made was horrible, in my opinion.
Other than the addition of the new skins for Helioskrill, which may or may not be unlockable without doing Legendary MCC (we don’t know), I haven’t really seen any backlash against them for this update. Maybe being mad that infection isn’t included, but that’s petty, since this is proof that they are clearly working on improving the game with important stuff, and not ONLY padding the REQ system (they are, but not exclusively that).
So we should be pleased for them giving us gametypes that should have been in the game since the beginning.? Sorry that ship has sail, their sinking and there is not enough time to right it.

What? You are not hype about the Gravity Hammer? At least you could have mentioned it!
Some people think the new update makes helioskrill “specialness” obsolete.
Everyone should be excited as we are getting classic game modes and weapons, and a lot more then I was expecting.

This is the crux update in that regard.
If the suite of customisable ball options truly does give us all the classics PLUS the tools for the creative types to go nuts with new and original game types… I would be prepared to forgive them for the delays.
This is 343i’s chance to show the method to their madness…

I’m suggesting that your anger about the incomplete game with the gametypes, which we all wish were in at launch, should be directed at a greedy publisher, and not a developer at the whims of the publisher’s deadlines. The fact that they appear to have been working on improving the game mode and consolidating it, allowing interesting gametype possibilities such as ricochet-oddball, or oddball-assault, or any other form of Halo lunacy, shows that they haven’t been sitting idle with their thumbs up their -Yoinks!- since launch.
I could be wrong, and the new “improvements” to the ball-mode could be garbage, and unpolished. But I don’t think I will be.
I can’t wait for more playlists, finally , but it’s still missing infection I think.

Thank you. He explained it better than I. But my point about -Yoink!- still stands.
where is this magical update
I think it’s the best so far because we’re finally getting some old modes back, but I’m still disappointed that we don’t have all of the old modes already in the game.
Easily the second best update so far, after Forge&Noctus. Gametypes! And so many of them at once, with great Custom Game options. Add the Hammer and a Griffball playlist, and this update will be good, very good. And Emblem color customization (+more armor colors) and an all new map are just the cherry on top.
I’m guessing March will include official Oddball and Ricochet variants added to matchmaking alongside a new Warzone/Warzone Assault map.
I just hope the new Arena map is better than Riptide. God I hate that map…and Fathom is awesome, but Riptide feels like Fathom with a bunch of walls and dead-ends in the way.
I just want my Mark V(b) helm but it looks like they ruined it with the freaking visor bumps on it already.

Couldn’t agree with you more. I HATE Riptide. I often find myself jumping into walls and running into nothing.

This game is fantastic, don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m glad they really took their time on each aspect of the game and got it right, as well as steadily bringing out new things for us to be excited about. When all is said and done, we will have a very robust And customizable Halo.
With how how much they got right this time, I can overlook things like waiting for oddball.

I like Halo 5 don’t get me wrong… it’s just frustrating waiting for the modes to come out when they give you doubles and rockets then take them away. I log in expecting to play Halo and enjoy it and I’m bored (I never said that about Halo before). Maybe they had issues or wanted a prefect game mode/s and need to get the bugs out, but it’s the lack of communication and this slow drip when they keep adding more emblems the angers me,
