So many great moments from Halo 5 this weekend:

Don't want it to get lost in the What's Up box. ;D

Now that I have my Elite controller and gaming monitor, I'll definitely be playing it a whole lot more.

Halo Livestream about the next update (end of February) will be tomorrow (two days early). New Arena-Map is no remix as well. Can't wait for the new Pistol. Don't care so muc for the Hammer though. Griftball will also be interesting.

But that Bravo sure talks a lot and fast and often... hahaha

LOVED the part, where he didn't get the High Five in the Infinitys Armory livestream... hahahaha

It would be a pretty poor Halo clone if it didn't.

Not a clone, an evolution. 60 fps was exactly what Halo MP needed, now they can never go back. It never felt this responsive and aiming is also more challenging than ever.

Scorpion is a bit underpowered in H5, but sometimes I am having great fun with it ;)

I finished Halo 5 Campaign on heroic yesterday - LOVED IT but that Warden Eternal guy was a bitch without COOP. your squad's AI is so dumb and it's the reason I hate game that are designed around co-op, it messes up the SP experience. Luckily, in Halo 5's case, it only affects the boss fights with the warden.

I also jumped in and played two warzone MP matches and I can see myself getting addicted to it. I literally had to force myself to stop playing yesterday to go to bed so I am able to get up for work :D

Watching their content update live streams has been awesome, the game was a bit more barebones than previous Halo's at launch, but 343 have knocked it out of the park with their post-game content, Halo may not be doing the numbers it once did, but this is a finer starting point than any for an evolved Halo. Every time a new stream starts, I guess I'll post it in here, the tournaments and content update streams have been phenomenal.

Would you rather have a Halo 4 campaign with Halo 5 mechanics, or a Halo 5 campaign with Halo 4 mechanics?

The CE pistol is really badass

:: 3 shot kill (if the 3 shots are headshots)
:: low res textures/shading to make it look like it came from Halo 1
:: old school pistol flip melee animation
:: spartans do a pirouette when they die from the CE pistol, just like in Halo 1
:: old school Halo 1 sounds

I saw that during the stream. I like that 343 are having fun with this, I get the feeling we are going to see a dual-wield certification for Warzone or something. I thought I'd hate Warzone at launch, but it is a fun little casual-fest, and when I'm done with that and feel like something a bit more serious, I'll just go to arena and get donged on there.

I didn't catch if the CE pistol was a skin, or is there a remodelled variant of it that brings it to 2016? I have no nostalgia for its look.

No season pass. All free.

However!

Most of the money to make them comes from REQ packs, either buy em or grind em. It's worked out very well for them which is why there is a content update every month.

With the regular content updates, they really are giving it legs. All the games before it are no slouch either, the only real anomaly being NBA 2K16... I mean... is the Spike Lee joint that good?

All Josh Holmes has said regarding Halo: 5 numbers is that it has had the best player retention since Halo 3, which means it is at the very least doing better than the 3 worst Halos.

I also read somewhere that Warzone is the most played game type, which I guess makes perfect sense.
