343 put out a new update:
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news ... night-awayThe interesting bits:
The Warlords playlist will launch Jan. 27 at approximately 2 p.m. PST and will come down on Monday morning, Jan. 30.
Will the Warlords playlist offer bonus XP?
Yes!
Can we join the playlist if we're not in a party of 12?
No, you'll need a pre-made Fireteam of 12 players before you can enter matchmaking.
What happens if a player gets disconnected during the match?
If a Fireteam member gets disconnected they can "join in progress" onto someone from their friends list.
The team has already made a few changes to some REQ energy requirements which will be effective in Halo 5 as of approx. 10AM on Jan. 27. Here's what's changing:
Vehicles reduced energy cost:
Oni Gungoose from 4 to 3
Anti-Air Wraith stays the same REQ energy level but is more common in packs (modified to be Rare).
Banshee and Mantis from 6 to 5. (Note: should look at Mantis rarity, currently Ultra Rare)
Weapons reduced energy cost:
River of Light from 6 to 5.
Base Spartan Laser from 5 to 4.
All Turrets down by 1 EXCEPT Jorge's Chaingun and except level 2 turrets (no turrets become level 1).
P.S. I will probably be online, but I've been sick most of the week so I don't know yet.
