Or don't put bosses in with such a high point value, and just keep them 50 or lower and maybe put more of them in.
I think we are talking about the same thing. Didn't realize you could snipe the bosses across the map. I've been running to the bosses like a sucker.
Your idea makes a lot of sense then. Or maybe just make it where you have to be within a certain distance to damage the boss?
Well so much for my exciting theory.

Even being in proximity to the boss, you could still wait for the other team to do all the work, and that would be awkward to implement with the moving bosses like the Banshee on ARC. I think he flies around the whole map, right?
The dual health bar idea isn't mine but it seems like the best solution given the current problems.

Anyone want to group up or in need of 1 for Arena/Breakout matches?

If someone feels as passionately as I do about this, please make a topic (I can't as I'm juniored).
Where the heck are the video- game-themed gamerpics? Last week I changed my XB1 gamerpic to Master Chief in celebration/preparation for Halo 5.
But... where is the Cortana gamerpic? Arbiter? 343 Guilty Spark? Spartan Locke? Dr. Hasley? Grunt? Miranda Keyes? Etc... etc...
On 360 you had this huge XBL infrastructure that guaranteed almost every game had items in each of the following categories: gamerpics, themes, avatar items.
Why did this go away with XB1? We should have all the following gamerpics already:
Marcus Phoenix
Dom (Gears)
Hoffman (Gears)
Baird (Gears)
Sam (Gears 3)
Anya (Gears)
Cole (Gears)
So Many Me green puffballs
Wei Shen (Sleeping Dogs)
Big Boss (MGSV)
Kaz Miller (MGSV)
Never Alone girl with her fox
And so on. I want a Cortana gamerpic dammit. She is the best.

Games were super unbalanced before you get rated. When I was playing those first 10 games it would be doing its best to pair up teams just throwing shit at the wall. After the ranking it was able to find suitable matches. My team slayer games are almost always 47-50.

Got ranked Diamond 1 in Team Arena. Won only like 2 games, lost the rest because of shitty servers and shitty Elzar.
I'm beyond a scrub and it made me diamond 1
So I don't actually bother even attempting arena now
It's the best and worst. It allows you to steal a game but it allows games to be stolen from you. I've done it a few times.

I finally got ranked... I went 7-3 and got thrown into gold 1.. ButI have not had luck with the matchmaking now that I'm ranked . I generally am about a 1.5 to 2.0 KD ratio but I've been getting on teams with scrubs and losing badly... Seriously no matter how well you do its impossible to win when guys on your team are going 0-17
WHY YOU NO GROUND POUND!!!?
Lol you sound like Che Chou.
Should have ground pounded, would be epic.

SWAT has the worst spawns I have ever seen in a game. I get shot, spawn immediately on top of my corpse, get shot again, spawn immediately on top of my corpse, get shot again, spawn a little to the left of my corpse and then manage to kill the guy but then get shot right after. I hope they patch in a respawn timer to help this at least a little.
That feel when your team are 0.3KD at best
How do they even get put in the same division?
EDIT: Just won a strongholds 100 - 7, (4v4 until right at end)....some games are crazy unbalanced
The thing about strongholds is that two evenly matched teams can end up having unbalanced scores. In objective gametypes, sometimes the execution doesn't line up with skill level.

Not sure if it has been brought up before but my favorite thing about warzone and reqs is how the vehicles are handled. Remember playing BTB and having people camp vehicle spawns instead of actually contributing. The worst is having someone camp a vehicle spawn, get in the vehicle and immediately get blown up or boarded, especially for the wraith, banshee or scorpion. Now everyone has a chance at vehicles and you don't get people sitting around and fighting over vehicles. Really a brilliant change.

Yeup. Plaza and Pegasus you can spawn right on top of your body and get shot by the same guy hard scoping the place he just killed you. Not as bad with SWATnums, but guaranteed to happen with BRs.
How anyone enjoys that is beyond me.

People keep saying this but she was shot in the shoulder and the arm was cut way below that. I don't see how that was supposed to save her. You even still see the bullet wound on the shoulder with her arm cut off and coat tied up. I mean, I'm not an expert in medical stuff but I assume that cutting an arm off below a wound, even with a laser sword that cauterises wounds, wouldn't make a bit of difference. She is still bleeding from the shoulder.
Unless it's said elsewhere the only reference to her losing her arm was her saying "not that I've fared better with you" to Jul in regards to losing an arm after the attempt on her life by Palmer and Jul saying "At least I didn't let you bleed to death". I just took it as he cut her arm off for throwing half of the key to the spartans and that was it, because he sure as hell didn't cut an arm off to stop the bleeding of the shoulder.
I just crawled out of gold tier Team Slayer. Platinum now, babby.

It kind of reminds me of Homefront, where you could earn vehicles, although nothing that unlocks and can carry over into a different match. I liked that about Homefront MP , and wished other games of the type would consider that system.
People complaining about teammates being the reason they can't climb ranks reminds me so much of Dota 2 mmr 
Yea there are some games that you can't win because your teammates suck or they quit... But that goes both ways. You'll win games solely because the other team quits or has some awful players that don't belong.
If you legitimately belong at a higher rank than you are at currently you'll win more than you lose over time and rank up.

Yeah I'm kind of wondering why respawn is instant in SWAT, is there a reason for that? I never played it much before but it's the mode I find myself playing most in H5. Warzone is fun but takes way too long for me most of the time.

Older one. I didnt update the OS.
This usually happens when I try to play Halo 5 before signing on to my account. There are also some times where it takes a few minutes for the message of the day to appear where I'm unable to really do anything until that loads. Maybe internet issues?
I've been using Windows 10 pre release stuff for a while so I'm used to having MS apps and stuff crash. I hope its not a problem with Xbox One

I do, only issue I've had is 1 force close after a MP match, otherwise no issues related to dash AFAIK.

Thanks to the tips from a few days ago, I'm getting better at this game. My KD ratio is at 1+, which is a significant improvement from before.
Basically, I stopped sprinting and using iron sights (unless I pick up a sniper rifle). I move slower but it also allows me to not rush into battles and get picked off easily. I still kinda suck but I do have some good games once in a while.
One thing I need to improve is using melee at the right time. I usually tend to hit it early so I end up missing my target and get killed instead.

Not really, Halo has always been about having a set of skill to accomplish kills, not just aim and shoot, which is based on other modern shooters, but in Halo its a set of skills, you do need a certain amount of aiming precision to get a headshot, but you also need a good awareness, map knowledge, power weapon control, and Straffing. and all of these are as important as aiming skills. and Yes, if you have exceptional skills, not even good aim is needed, you can win a 1 v 2, but not even the best of player will engage themselves into a 1 v 2 situation, the motto of Pro players is "Stay alive".
I consider myself to have really bad aim, but my experience and awareness help me out greatly to overcome a lot of situations.

So cod is looming, and the playlists and maps rotation has still not been updated.
Same 4 maps in slayer, Still no objective playlist,BTB ?? STILL issues with server selection etc.
I love the game, but first impressions and all that.
A more chilled set of social playlists would probably be appreciated I reckon .

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
It really is crazy how much people can disagree about video games. I respect your opinion; but I absolutely despise how vehicles are handled in Warzone.
This. Itll be losing some of my time to both cod and fo4. But ill still be playing. But i agree!

That's unfortunate because they are handled excellently in Warzone.
I agree with you. My best friend agrees with him. Weird how we all vary so much. I just like how they are handled in warzone because people aren't just spawn camping the vehicles.

There's such a great balance of risk/reward when it comes to vehicles. They did a good job with that.
