One of these has a clear lead. Personally I chose CTF. I’m not a good sniper. As well, I really enjoy objective game types.

Halo World Championship Regions and Prizing UPDATE
This is a reblog from HaloWaypoint:
The first ever Halo World Championship kicks off this winter! Qualification for the global tournament will begin in December, with the grand finals culminating in March of 2016. The largest Halo tournament in history will discover the top teams from around the globe, with 16 teams at the final event. The various regions will be represented as follows in the grand finals:
- Top 8 teams from North America
- Top 4 teams from Europe, Middle East, and Africa
- Top 2 teams from Australia and New Zealand
- Top team from Asia
Earlier this year, we announced that the tournament prize pool would start at $1,000,000, and today, we’re excited to announce that thanks to your REQ Pack crowdfunding, an additional $500,000 has already been added to the pool. This sets the current Halo World Championship prize pool at $1,500,000, and the total continues to grow each day.
HFFL: Wow, only a week in and people has spent $500K for REQ packs…I bet that’s more than 343 had anticipated.

Halo 5 REQ cards: Weapons Skins
Here are all of the 28 ‘at launch’ REQ cards for Weapons Skins.
The ranges of rarity are from Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, and Legendary.
As there are 28, I’ve broken them up into the respective rarity category.
Uncommon: “Spring inevitably turns to fall.”
Halo 5 REQ cards: Visors
Here are all of the 53 ‘at launch’ REQ cards for Visors.
The ranges of rarity are from Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, and Legendary.
Text under each entry is what 343 added in. When you click on the cards at HaloWaypoint you will get a pop-up window that shows that additional text. I’ve saved you that step by including it here.
Common:
-
- Frowned upon by UNSC staff officers, the Blindside VISR sacrifices strategic situational awareness for improved performance in small-unit actions.
-
- Too expensive to be universally deployed, Cyan VISR hardware is protected against electromagnetic interference, shock, and corrosive atmospheres.
-
- Envy VISR’s were developed by extreme sports enthusiasts on Mars. Though proven in environments far harsher than UNSC specifications required it took years to overcome anti-military sentiment in the boutique development house that made them.
-
- The Foucault VISR represents a major policy shift in the UEG towards allowing smaller corporations to compete in the paramilitary, military, and security markets.
-
- With its integral climate module and multi-layer insulation the Frost VISR assembly can function in extreme temperatures and exotic cryogenic atmospheres.
-
- Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance (VISR) software manages the Spartan’s disparate sensor feeds, battlenet links, and suit diagnostic messages.
-
- Even when Spartans lose, the Vandal VISR ensures they do it with style and panache.

-

-
- If I told you once, I told you a million times.
-
- It’s the dance sensation that’s sweeping the nation.
-
- Pow! Right to the moon!

-

Halo Community Update: Post Launch Carnage Report
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
By Bravo:
On Monday night, we joined together in a celebration that only Halo fans can understand. Whether you had Halo 5: Guardians pre-installed at home or went to a nearby store to pick up your copy on release night, you could likely feel a particular excitement in the air, and we hope that excitement resulted in an all-night (or day, depending on where you might call home) session of campaign, multiplayer, or a perfectly balanced mix of the two.
