Halo is the only game on consoles with skill based MP... JiP doesn't work with a skilled based MM system, unless you ask people to forfeit their stats everytime someone quits... Which isn't something Halo fans would agree with AND it would hinder the ability to accurately guage people's skill levels

PowerUps are also a big "shoot me" sign...
But are the kills really cheap if the person had to fight to gain the leverage? They earned the right for the advantage
The merits of it existing are fine and I like that they are there, like Ram said they are tide turners, but I feel they respawn too fast.
Is it camping, or people funneling to a location when they know the powerups are about to hit? Like I said, a camo guy getting one cheap kill sitting in a corner is nothing compared to the damage you can do if you're moving around with it.
For the love of god sell your copy and move on with your life. I feel sad that the last year of negativity towards this game could somehow be given back to you. Find something you enjoy and play and talk about that.

So where is this armor at we are supposed to get for playing prior to the 7th of Nov?
M.I.A
Oh, I might have not been clear; I mean people using the camo and camping to get cheap kills.
Oh i wouldn't sweat that... That's pretty much wasting the camo... Won't get many points that way.
But I guess if a team can't figure out how to use it more effectively, denying the other team from having it is decent strategy.

The game has been out for a week and a bit? I don't understand why people think wholesale changes are easy to implement and expected when 50% of the community is saying go one direction and 50% of the community is saying go the other. Meanwhile data from gameplay is coming in suggesting a 3rd direction.
To all the people complaining, game dev isn't fast food. You can't order something and have it ready in less than a minute.
343, or any dev for that matter, who is making an MP game is in a no win situation. The best they could do is open all the metrics of the game up, give you sliders for everything and allow you to play on your own Frankenstein creations then you can hear all the bitching about how your balance sucks.
I feel like I've been on the wrong end of scores like that in Warzone a lot lately.

How is it almost 2016 and we don't have this?
And I thought I was being stingy with my 30k.
I've been buying a lot of bronze packs for weapon certs like the shotgun and such, with a few silver in there for good measure. I was only buying Gold at first but I wasn't really getting any weapon certs.
20k Bronze
60k silver
20k gold
Sell stuff you don't want and buy from that gold again

Does anyone want to co-op Legendary? (preferably the whole thing - or half)
Or co-op achievements?

Tips for MP :
- Do an empty melee attack just the moment you pick invisible-pack or energy-pack. It cancels the animation of picking it up and get you ready.
- If you have the elite controler, you have the possibility to remove the main rumble and left only the trigger rumble wich is imo a great thing because you still have the rumble feedback from the trigger but you won't see your aim being pestered by the main rumble.

I usually thrust to cancel the animation, as it allows you to get away if you're fighting for it. I didn't know melee would cancel the animation, though. I'll be doing that if it's uncontested.

Until you are properly ranked it seems to do a best guess. I had the problem where I dominated my first FFA match and then the system thought I was a God and put me up against super Halo Ninjas. I then was the worst or 2nd worst player for the next 9 games until my rank was received.
The more you play the better match making gets. I haven't had a heavily slanted match since two days after launch.

Double XP only.
Best bet for RP is still warzone assault especially with a 12 person GAF team
I just switch weapons, that does the trick too
I can kinda understand having one or two unranked players there, but why do I have to play with a bunch of platinums? Diamond 6's should play against high-diamond/low-onyx players. Hard carrying your team against low tier players is not really fun.

Didn't know this either. Why did they even bother with the animation if you can cancel the animation in multiple ways?

After the weekend
People who drop out: You are worse than kids voice chatting. No, I am serious, you are worse than COD teenagers yelling bigoting words.
Just finished a game where there was only me and someone else against 4 others in Slayer. Whenever I start a game, I am now gonna write down their username so I can remember who drops out.
This is insane. It is literally EVERY game this happens. How am I supposed to have fun getting ganged up on?

343 should at least severely diminish your rank loss if people quit your team, that would lift the extra pressure and just make it a fun challenge to try and "get gud".

I stopped playing team games by myself because of this shit. I have 3 good friends that get on whenever I do and just roll with them.
EDIT: A little side note I finally got my first perfection in a team slayer game yesterday, felt good man

I wish I had that willpower. As soon as I get 5,000 I buy a silver pack lol.
Try resetting your router. That seemed to work for me.
I gotta say I'm not enjoying Warzone at all. We were winning a match by a fairly large margin until the other team rolled out with a whole bunch of scorpions, wraiths, snipers, banshees, etc. The only explanation for that is because the other team happened to get luckier with their REQ packs - which can also be bought for real money.
Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely pay to win? Even if it's not people buying packs the whole system is still crazy to me.

I'm on a campus connection ;__;
I've done hard resets and tried wired/wireless. NAT is sometimes open
