Halo 5 - Guardians

have only really been playing 5 online the last few days, but good to see some bigger maps.

Where the hell do i change my loadout?

Also what are requisitions?

There's no loadouts, 4 was the only Halo game to have them and got panned because of it, it's more about everyone starting on an even footing than anything else with the better weapons scattered around the map. Big Team you get the BR instead of a pistol.

In warzone once you level up a little you can equip better guns provided you have unlocked them in a req pack. Requisitions are mainly for warzone, think of it as a MOBA where your character levels up, once you have reached a high enough level you go to the req stations on the map where you can call in a weapon or vehicle or a buff like overshield or camo.

As you play the game you're awarded req points (this happens in regular multiplayer too) and with the req points you can buy the requisition packs, the req packs will have special weapons and vehicles for use in warzone as well as unlock cosmetic items such as emblems, weapon skins and armour. You can buy them with real money too but I wouldn't recommend that. I generally buy silver packs as you're guaranteed two permanent unlocks from them up to rare. You only get ultra rare and legendary from the gold packs but it's better to buy silver at first as you can unlock most of the common and rare stuff from them.

I don't really play warzone so I sell all the weapon and vehicle cards I get for more req points, the only cards you can use in normal multiplayer are the boosts which give you extra xp or req points.

Glad to see the new arena map has a different aesthetic this time.

A hands on with firefight:

Warzone firefight beta is live, played a few rounds last night. my initial thoughts would be that

1. Its too easy, I was playing with randoms and we never failed to complete the 5 waves
2. It probably needs more req stations, its quite easy to find yourself low on ammo and miles from a station - this is really apparent if you get lots of prometheans as they're complete bullet sponges.
3. probably tied to no. 1, but the AI is dumb as a rock, very much of the stand still and shoot variety for the most part.
4. something about the huge open map is kind of off putting to me, it doesn't have that 'halo' feel to be taking on grunts etc from miles away.


That being said, its only a beta, so there is potential to make improvements, the req payout is reasonably good for the time invested, I dont think I'd play a huge amount of it once I'd have my commendations completed, but its a fun distaction all the same. I think I was expecting something a bit more like Destinys Prison of elders though.

I haven't had a go yet but I think the main issue will be that the maps probably were ever designed with a horde more in mind and that's why they feel too open.
