Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

You are under the premise people on diamond don't queue with bronze/silver/gold/plat levels. Also that a silver guy who possibly played with a bronze won't check his stats.
People who got the special editions get special req packs for a few weeks.

Haven't played this game in a couple of days and after coming back the servers are broken. In UK and every game i get into now is filled with gold ranks (Im diamond). The lag is unbearable and i even got disconnected from a game. It was perfectly fine at launch and i've played almost 50 hours upto now with the game working. Hopefully they patch whatever they broke soon ,because right now ,i'm done with the game until then.
Its more about HOW we lose, I guess: Pushed back,no co-ordination, no room to do anything without being shot at.
No-one bothering with bases or if they are, going into 1vs5 fights and not waiting for others.
Most annoying thing is when we are like 200-700...and a person goes after The Warden rather than try getting the bases while the team is distracted.
First 10 days of Warzone were the best times I had with an FPS...now I pick it up, lose twice and do something else.

I've found that it's a situational weapon, with the situation typically being that you have to already know what you're trying to aim at.
Where you identify an enemy, go into cover, switch to it, while in cover charge it, then come back out and shoot it.
It's horrible to just walk around with as the primary weapon you're gonna roll with I've found.
Wat no way.
I tried doing OS+SB but they just over take one another
Ill try stacking those SBs
^^ plasma caster is cool for charge shots at ceilings if the room is short enough the balls will rain death onto them hahah
That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm talking about selection bias, which is extremely important when dealing with statistics.
If we're interested in the total ranking distribution of all players, e.g. what percentage of the total population is in Bronze, Silver, etc, the method of selecting data should be as unbiased as possible.
Do diamond players occasionally queue with silver players? Sure. But in general, if the ranking system works, they will more often queue with diamond players. That's going to skew the distribution.
Will a bronze player happen upon Halotracker and look up his stats? Sure. But in general, I think it's safe to say the people who care enough to look up their stats will skew toward more skill and higher rank.
So trying to determine the total, global Arena ranking distribution by looking at Halotracker suffers the same problem as trying to determine what percentage of people in the US are sick by surveying the people in a hospital. Sure, not everyone in the hospital is sick, and not everyone outside of it isn't sick, but there's a bias there, and any statistical survey needs to take that into account.
Except it is right, because if they were favored due to their purchase, the game would slide ever closer to pay2win territory.

This should be it. http://experience-halo-5-guardians.xbox.com/
Cosmetic items aren't pay2win
Yeah, but they are still paying for them. If the were absolutely guarunteed all the awesome stuff, folks who didn't pony up would be at quite the disadvantage.
It isn't just cosmetic items... I don't think...
In general, I don't think the req system is pay to win, mainly because the contents are randomized. But if they guarunteed certain things for people who pay, THAT would be a step in the wrong direction.

Not even close to pay2win.
Listen to what I'm saying. The current system isn't pay to win... The gentleman I was responding to suggested people who paid should have been gaurunteed better things... That WOULD be sliding towards pay to win.

I know you can do stuff like power weapon + overshield, but no idea that you can stack the same powerup, sounds like a flaw lol.
.... does this work with 4 overshields??? Now I have to go experiment a bit.

I have had an issue with audio on rig
All the sounds are much lower except the voices. This has happened about 8 or so times over my plays. Makes it feel like im playing in space or something.

pretty sure you can do os and camo and you can't be seen
I get what you're saying. I wonder how LoL sites track players across all ranks, their division distributions are pretty much legit.

The Trials.
Thank you. God, this song is just perfection. I don't think there is a song that gets me more pumped up than hearing that theme. Just makes me want to go beast mode.

It's fantastic for clearing rooms, like the enemy core room.

Um they aren't just cosmetic items if you're a Warzone player

Thanks for this.
And I think that 343 throwing a bone with a rare armor or so wouldn't hurt in the long run.
I'm only talking about cosmetic items.
The maps in Slayer/Team Arena don't seem to have any sort of balance imo but I think I just need to play them more and get used to them. Nice pistol work on that triple! Saw this on Kotaku: http://xboxclips.com/I+Habb+I/070df4d9-8e86-4e5e-8410-5b86101ab802

Fathom should start filling with water. By the time the round is over by time only the bridge section should be dry.
So, a litle recap of my Halo weekend:
-Have I mentioned how good and rewarding the matches are, I havent seen myself trying this hard since Halo Reach MLG playlist, Every match I need to put my complete focus because anyone, with anything can kill you regardless if you have a BR in hand, so you need to pick your batles, be more strategic and more aware. I love the challenge
-I have been doing only Team Slayer, more because I felt my negative KD was not telling on my real perfomance, I was placed in Diamond and And during this weekend I feel Im in a place I finally feel conftable with my game, I even had a runing riot innone match.
-To everyone out there, use your mic, do call outs, even if no one is, sometime is just take the initiave of one player to have the other players join in, it makes the world of a difference and on high ranks is a must.
-especial mention to the Ahole in one match i had that instead of doing callouts was complaining the whole match on how everyone in his team sucks, This is type of behavior just make the team worst, if you are going to use your mic, use it for something positive, not to cry about your teammates performance, the guy was even shooting at me and dashing at me at some point, i got killed maybe 2 or 3 times thanks to that.
-Last, I decided to conect my xbox to my 40 inch, the experience was bad, my screen has a good response time and Destiny plays perfect on it, but for some reason in Halo 5 the aim just felt really slow.

Opened $120 in Gold req packs so far, nothing that great. Got a couple of good weapon skins and some decent certs like ONI Scorpion, but no DMR. Did get Security which is pretty neat though.

Your Spartan looks dope! 🙌
I could hate on you for spending so much, but I have over $400 spent in CSGO for just weapon skins -.-
