Gamemode Information

Grifball - The only map at this moment in time is based on an ice hocky rink and is on an Avalance (Halo 3 map) forged map.

Grifball - The ball works like it did in Halo 4, allowing you to throw it and catch it, aswell as sending it flying by hitting it with the hammer.

Grifball - This will be a permanent playlist.

Assault - Social CTF will be changing to Social Assault

Assault - Ball carrier has 1 hit kill with the bomb and can thruster twice at once.

Assault - The bomb will work like it did in Halo 2, you have to go to the area marked and wait 7 seconds for the bomb to be planted, then it will blow up.

Grifball/Assault - New medals

Fiesta - There will be no Warzone weapon variants available, only Arena weapons.

Fiesta - More game modes being made, could possibly add Warzone weapon variants in one.

Extra

A overhaul of the current colour/color customization, allowing a ton more colour/color options then before.

The overhaul also lets you choose your own colour/color schemes instead of using pre-set ones under a certian colour/color scheme.

Hammer Storm will release between February 23rd and February 26th

Hammer Storm - World Championship Req Preview

So during the Halo 5 World Championships, they had a moment to talk about the new reqs and went into detail regarding 3 of them, heres what they said,

Fury is a deadly Storm Rifle. It does not over heat as quickly and has alot more accuracy. in other words, no one will out “spray and pray” you with this

The Gravity Hammer is back and it means buisness! The Gravity Hammer is going to work slightly different then it did in Halo 3, Reach and 4. As in its no longer keep moving back to avoid the other spartans hits, they didn’t go into much detail but they mentioned something very interesting which i will get into in a minute.

The Decimator armour wasn’t spoken about much but going off what has been mentioned about it in general. This armour set is heavly based on the default Mark V [b] armour set, which is most known as Noble 6′s armour from Halo Reach.

The Mythic Req IS a Gravity Hammer! Yes, they sort of dropped a bomb shell here. Ok so carrying on what i was mentioning regarding the Gravity Hamer, they mentioned how the hammer is different then it was in 3, Reach and 4, but straight after they then said the following “it’s not like the Gravity Hammer we know and love through 3 to 4, but there is a new one you guys haven't seen yet that will introduce a skill gap” Another hammer that has a skill gap? I looked at the preview and the remaining blurred out reqs do not look like any form of the Gravity Hammer, leaving only one, the one req that is really hard to see and has had us all going crazy trying to figure it out!

So that leaves only 3 options for the Mythic req, its either the Fist of Rukt, the Golf Club or a different skinned Gravity Hammer (eg. SPNKr Prime for the SPNKr Rocket Launcher).

Here is a link to the Twitch stream, jump to 03:20:00.

Now weres my M6D Magnum!!

Hammer Storm - updates to come!

Good news everyone! While you could class this as an un-offical source, i trust this reply to a topic regarding the hidden Mythic req coming in the Hammer Storm update. So what does this mean? Friday 19th - More Hammer Storm Reqs to be shown. Friday 26th - February Live Stream Monday 29th - Possible release date (the last day of February)

Truthly i see this being released before the live stream, would be horrible for the February update to be released on the last day of the month!
