For those who enjoy Halo 5, this upcoming update is looking to be one of the best yet. For those who don't, you're in the wrong thread.
- [b]Race[/b] and [b]King of the Hill[/b] returning!
- [b]New Battle Golf[/b] game mode!
- [b]Custom Games Browser[/b] (allows you to search for ongoing Customs with other players)
- [b]Grenade Launcher[/b], [b]Anti-Air Wraith[/b] and [b]Sentinel Beam[/b]
- [b]Two New Forge Canvases[/b] (Sanghellios and Underwater)
- [b]New Announcer Voices for Purchase[/b] (including Buck, Exuberant Witness and Yabda the Grunt)
- [b]Mythic Warzone Firefight[/b] (includes Skull modifiers and will feature a new map each weekend)
- [b]Heroic Warzone Firefight[/b] (easier version of WZFF)
- [b]Two new Warzone Firefight Maps[/b] (Temple and Prospect)
- [b]Separation of Social and Ranked Playlists[/b] (Social: Team Skirmish, Action Sack, Infection, Big Team Battle, Super Fiesta, Shotty Snipers, Grifball and Triple Team /// Ranked: Team Arena, Slayer, Snipers, SWAT, FFA, Doubles and Breakout)
- [b]REQ Gifts[/b] (allows you to purchase and send REQ packs to your friends)
- [b]Spectator Mode[/b]
- Many new Forge objects.
- Other major Forge improvements and additions.
- Many new Customization items.
- Limited max fireteam size in PvP Warzone to only six players as a way of testing to see if it will help prevent "blowout" games in which one team completely dominates.
As you can see, there are a lot of options in the Social and Ranked playlists. Some will definitely be getting removed. If you want your favorites to stay, try to help boost that specific playlist's numbers by playing it a lot with your friends.
This update, just like every other Halo 5 update, is free. The only thing for purchase is the voices, which is $10 USD for all three together.

No update is going to bring me back to that game.
-
I feel like the new wasp is op as fuc*. Then again I have never been on a team where my teammates shoot the enemy vehicles instead of trying to hijack them only to be shot/splattered
-
PRO PIPE!
-
Its really hard to for me to convince myself that buying exuberant as a narrator is a waste of money... I mean I know it is... but... But.... [spoiler]I WANT THAT SO BADLY[/spoiler]
-
[b] CONFIRMED[/b] Armour lock as a new Spartan ability
-
ah i remember the grenade launcher back from the old days of halo reach, i knew i used to wield it pretty good back then, but it is going to feel new again once i pick it up
-
Oh look, more weapon variants and skins to suck up my req points. The pro pipe is great, just feels slightly more sluggish than the Reach variant. AA wraith preforms well but the Halo 5 wraith looks like ass, and therefore the AA wraith looks like ass.
-
The new wasps are crazy good
-
Still doing the update
-
Soo... Things the game should have launched with anyway?
-
How easy is it to 100% the achievements for this game?
-
How many replies have you gotten?

My only gripes so far with this update - Custom game browser is awesome, but when you refresh it, it seems like some games just disappear. Damn lobbies are always full too, but hey.. Just gotta be lucky to enter a fun lobby. :) - The trait to a certain zone with an effect aren't visible while outside the hill, I believe. Have you seen that video where they entered a hill and the visuals turned to underwater with fish? Now I messed with this a bit but don't understand scripting. I could keep the visuals stay even after exiting the hill, but I don't think you'll be able to have more than 1 effect enabled to see. For example, I don't think it's possible to certain parts of maps underwater while you are not in its trait-zone. That is something I wish to see in the future. Simply put a hill with certain effects somewhere, and see the map adjust to that. Not restricting it from being visible by having to enter the hill or something. It'd be far better and crazier if we could let it snow, rain or whatever on certain spots in maps. Make it only rain outdoors and keep it dry indoors! Or have certain parts of the map be snow while other parts are desert or stuff like that. - There is no underwater sound effect when you put the underwater filter on. There is a sound of underwater in the sounds tab, but it doesn't change your spartan's action into muffled underwater sounds. So, if you're shooting or whatever in the underwater FX, then it will sound just like if you were shooting on land. Hopefully that can get changed also. It would add more realism and fun if underwater actually sounded like underwater too. But, just having the visuals FINALLY is a big plus nonetheless. Other than that I am quite enjoying this awesome update! :D
-
I love this update! Damn I had so much fun playing it just now.
-
I really want to be enthusiastic about Halo 5, but I just can't anymore.
-
I still just want some normal single player firefight, but it does sound like a good update. :)
-
Anyone want to exchange that gift REQ pack? I'm already tired of seeing a pack available to open when I don't have one. GT: Sarge412
-
Alright. Halo 5 is awesome.
-
This is so damn cool
-
People still play that garbage?
-
I guess with all that it's kind of cool. I'm still highly disappointed in 343 and the poor showing of content that Halo 5 should have had. Still don't see a reason to bother playing it again though. Maybe if Halo 6 is any good but at that point I'll probably be playing something else already or too busy with other things.

Edited by SpydrByte: 12/9/2016 12:55:06 AMNo need for more armor. Why not have choices to have different shoulders like reach? Also the gamemodes that should've been at launch now come. I mean it's a good update and it's free but I rather have H5 or any future halo delayed for all the stuff to be in. I do thank 343i for one thing tho... [spoiler]For teaching me to [b]never[/b] preorder or get games first week of release.[/spoiler] EDIT: And where the -blam!- are the actual BTB maps. I'm tired of forge maps! I legit don't mind some (like they did in H3 or Reach) buts absolutely ridiculous!
-
I need mark V delta in mer life!
-
Still downloading
-
Can i forge my own firefight mode yet?
-
Just realized the grunts with shields in warzone have voids tear
