I don't like 4v4 Midship slayer, so there's that. Too crowded. Also dislike Regret.

Hell, i think Midship as a map in general has always sucked balls lol! Regret is even worse. They're both two crowded. Too much architecture in the way of main central areas or areas of high traffic. Too many sight lines fully across map to everywhere. I'd take Wizard over Midship 10 times outa 10.

Pretty sure Plaza isn't in Arena.

Yeah those were 2 different comments. One being that I haven't played Truth (or Regret) ever, no matter what playlist.

The other being an exaggeration of my overall experience in MM in general. Except not that exaggerated.

So I did read what you said I just failed to understand they were 2 different comments. Huh.
 
Homeboyd said:
Right but either way I said "Yes I played Arena" and you commented by saying I needed to play Arena...

Well, Arena is Slayer, Team Arena, FFA, etc. But yes, my bad.

Anyway the other day we played CTF Truth 3 times in a row. I think we played that map 5 times that session, including an epic 0-2 comeback that was great. Fun times with GAF.

Is it Wrong that I am liking Warzone so much and have barely touched the Arena?
Click to expand...
Nope, love Warzone it brings such a different dynamic.

When I go back to arena I feel like I'm playing a totally different game sometimes

Warzone is a hit to me, a lot of the players I play with seem to love it too.

Found it.

The cap is SR152.

People are saying you start to get silver packs for ranking up at SR40 but I didn't get a silver pack for ranking up until I hit SR50.

I got a silver pack when I hit level 40, but every subsequent pack has been Bronzes again. Pretty sure you only get the silver at a milestone level :/

Quite frankly. Hitting maximum levels of frustration. The aiming is off, getting stuffed on servers with Americans which makes it even harder (no offense). Spawns are hilariously bad.

Then there's the spartan charge.. oh yes the spartan charge. What I thought was a great addition in campaign for punting stuff, has turned into a object of sheer frustration. Everyon e and his mom uses it to check corners and it's just obnoxious.
 
Had one match of slayer where I had more kills from Spartan charges than gun use. And I went positive lol. I do that a lot when playing as a Titan in Destiny so it just feels natural haha.

Given the radar there is little that it can be done if they come trough the back, however against a frontal Spartan charge, Spartan dash is your friend, if You do the dash, go for a melee right away, you should be in the upper hand here.

I do think if Someone misses the ground pound this shouldn't pop your shield, more than once I have evaded the ground pound with the dash, but that split second where i can recover to shoot is enough for the guy that missed his ground pound to finish me off with his gun.

Ha, I was getting tore up in Slayer - then just ran around the map doing Spartan Charges or melee and AR to finish and ended up in top 2 on my team.

There are two instances that bother me, around corners and from the back. Both are times where the guy charging is pretty much always at an advantage. This happens a lot at fortress in Warzone, suddenly this red dot goes at the speed of light, cuts the corner and bam 1,2 dead.
 
Do you folks think MS saves Halo 6 for the Xbox Next? You'll have Halo Wars 2 and Halo 3: A as well as HCS to tide the Halo brand over in the meantime.

Here's my daily reminder that incentives to stay are needed more than disincentives to leave because we only experience the fallout from the latter, the banning does nothing to help our immediate play experience.

Nah. Halo 6 will be on the Xbone. Halo 7 would have a good chance at being on whatever new console comes along... Depends on how long msoft plans to ride out this gen

Yep when 3 guys on the other team leave then there is no point in the game and it takes ages to complete. Why should the people who decide to stay endure the slogfest?

The biggest problem is that once you know you're on the losing side, there's no incentive to use any good REQs to possibly try for a comeback (especially if you're playing solo without a team). It's too difficult to make a big impact yourself, so why burn a good REQ? So the losing side will just continue losing worse and worse while the winning team just absolutely wrecks.
 
I think my favorite part of the Campaign has to be
Sunaion's under city. You take the elevator down, it's a surreal city scape above you, a covenant spirit flys overhead with an Elite on the loudspeaker telling the Covenant they won't lose Sunaion. Flat out some of the best atmosphere I've ever felt in a Halo game. So good.
 
Ensoul said:
Yup. Why are the maps segregated per game type? Maybe 343 thinks people enjoy playing the same 3 maps over and over again?

Got kicked from a warzone game and was banned for 1 and a half minutes :) hopefully we see in a few weeks if their banning helps the situation

Warzone assault with a good group is great. Every match ends in 6 minutes, even as attackers.

I've had a bunch of super close games, and a clutch win with randoms just a bit ago: was amazing.

I did go 1-6 to start off though... 4 straight losses in super bad teams (myself included).. then luck changed which was nice.
 
If anyone needs someone to play Warzone, I'm your guy. I may or may not bring a friend along.

I am usually available at 7pm EST.
 
I dunno I rarely get killed by a Spartan Charge. Is that a tactic that gets used more often in specific skill groups? Maybe it's just my habit of never peeking close to corners that I picked up in CS.

John was caught off guard by the response of Lasky which made it clear that Lasky already knew Cortana was 'alive' somewhere and they did not inform him. Meanwhile Halsey already mentions that John is not fit to handle this Cortana and perhaps fears he might turn on humankind because of it. You can't risk humankinds greatest hero start a fight against the people he saved, that's why you send the best after him

Wow. Did not get that at all from it. They really need to slow it down and quit moving so fast.
