It wasnt, thats why it was strange. The only difference is the respawn timer, in other Halo it was 5 seconds, so technically, its easier to get that medal in this game.
Ever since I got the Elite controller my aiming has been all over the place again. I guess because the analog sticks are different... Anyway I decided to pop in MCC for a couple games last night to compare and the aiming felt great right away...
I think I'm just gonna avoid H5 until the update hits now. Can't wait to turn down that aim acceleration. Will probably slightly decrease the inner deadzone too.

Really? It seems pretty easy, from red spawn, to deny the rail gun from blue team. You can lock down the hallway with a BR and nade the nest at your hearts content...
Actually getting the Rail gun leaves either team pretty exposed...
But I'm just a platinum, so maybe the advantage is more pronounced hire up.

You get Extermination if you effective wipe out an entire team, rendering no opponents on the map because they are all in respawn timer, overkill doesn't always come with an extermination.
Have a look at Breackneck for some inspiration, yellow and grey gets really boring

Man, that looks good. Amazing how much difference some textures make! Also that background buildings help a lot.
No it doesn't
Im aware of the rules of an exterm, Hence my question, I can double check that play later, but based on the timer the whole team was wiped off before the first player respawned. (The overkill is done in 5 seconds, respawn are 8 seconds)
So loved arena breakout...one huge complaint
Flag caps don't count in your favor at all...While the people i were playing with went for kills i went to push the flag almost all the games...there were situations where the other team wasn't properly policing the flag and i had 3 caps in a row without anyone even getting a shot on me. The two people i played placement games with were platinum and i ranked gold...because the game mode only counts kills towards your score...not caps...so disappointing and if they make it permanent they need to fix this

I wonder if someone will put out some information on what those controller settings are for the MCC.
However, i know for sure i will try the aim accelleration at 2. Maybe even drop it to 1. I'll then move my sensativity back up to 5, like how i usually play halo.
gonna be intersting to mess with the deadzones. Let us know your results!
I love this trick jump on Plaza:

Since I saw Hysteria pulling it off, I started to use it everywhere.
I played Diamonds and it was pretty rough (I don't deserve that rank in this mode btw.). You woud have 4 Pistols aimed at you, if you tried to grab it as Team Red. You can't set a foot in the outside area.

Hmm went to check the video again, yeah you should have gotten an extermination there. Have you checked your total medal count on waypoint?

I've always tried to get up there. always felt noob that i couldnt do it. Now i know the secret thanks to you sharing this info.
Jump, smartlink/sustaion/hover, clamber.

I hope that we get a community playlist with great user made forge maps, bungie sort of never did such a thing.
Maybe every week the top 3-5 forged maps that work as intended and play well could go into an unranked hopper and swap out weekly with another 3-5 good maps so there is always something new and exciting to experiance.
Just having one or two community made maps become official doesn't cut it, there's hundreds of good forge map makers out there and they need to shine.

Plus crouching. There's two levels of these jumps. One is just Crouching + Clamber and the other is Stabilizer + Crouching + Clamber. You can reach some positions with the first one, but this is not one of them.
Sprint is not required by the way, but it's a little easier for me. You can do these jump while standing still.
No problem. I always loved learning jumps in Halo games.
Halo 3 Gold Jump = GOAT.

I think they teased that they definetly want the community involved with forge and have some type of rotation or inclusion from some forge maps. The details on how it would actually work wasnt mentioned though. Maybe the jan update will improve the file share/browsing aspect.
i've been saying we need a better community section that invloved the community way better than an app (halo channel). No one wants to quit their game to read a few paragraphs or navigate a menu to see some details. I also hope UI constantly get's updated.
I really thank 343i listening and taking our feedback seriously. they are doing a marvelous job catering to our bitching.
Ah, i forgot how crouching is very crucial for jumps in this game. Many people don't realize you can clear those clamber jumps with a good crouch. I just need to adjust my controller settings then..
bah, everytime i think of how to pull it off easily, i think of my controller layout and how it works against me sometimes lol (green thumb)

I'd be down with that. Just a fun grab bag type playlist. There's no telling what kind of awesome things people will come up with.
God fucking dammit how I hate maps with switching spawns from side to side, because of sprint and the high movement speed the enemy is already around the map when you spawn there, it is insane how it seems to be impossible to make acceptable spawns.
It doesn't help that most teammates are dumb asshats that just run in circles around the map. Fucktwats

Well yeah, but blue team is pretty exposed when trying to get to the Railgun, they've either gotta run across the open deck from basement, or run and jump across the catwalk...
And even if they make it to nest, Red team has a perch that looks right down onto the Railgun, and there are no sightlines from outside to that perch. also red can easily control the hallway and get a line down the catwalk that leads to nest
I think it's hard for either team to get rail gun.

wait what? am i missing something? We already have a forge community playlist. I admit, the maps arent perfect, but its not like they are official or anything they are just forge maps!
Whats the playlist called again? Oh yeah thats right. big team battle.
oops.
Oh damn, I always had to sprint jump from ground > tree circle base thing > sneaky. This is so much easier!
I don't have auto stabilize on though. I have smart link on my right paddle so I can tap that then A to stabilize but it's a little odd. You need to leave a slight delay between presses or it doesn't work. Pretty annoying. Feels like a bug but I've gotten used to it.
Not sure if it leaves me at a disadvantage for trick jumps or not but auto stabilize doesn't seem worth it. I've been able to pull off most of the stabilize jumps this way it's just a tad harder.
Yes it does, admittedly it's probably the only mode which plays well on Rig.
I've had some of my best strongholds matches on the rig.

You can keep an eye on two points by either being by plasma caster spawn or by br tower.

Wait... how does this stabilizer jump thing work? Hit/hold at the top of your jump then release and hit clamber and it helps you get up to higher jumps?!
TheCanisDirus

Same. Aside from that... not much good happens on The Rig.
Damn, forgot last week was the actual last warzone req packs, should have saved those two.
I've also been wondering a while, what were the requirements for the legendary argonaut idmon helmet and armor? I could've sworn it came in a promotional pack much like the Raikou armor on launch day.

Holy shit this clearly means it came out yesterday and we didn't even realise :O
Oh no, I hadn't really tried counting but I hoped we might have one more week
Free extra set for those who went in day 1? :3
I wonder if they will add another post-launch premium pack purchase, this time with an initial dop of guaranteed content too.
I care, I care! IMAX Tickets Friday! Hype hype hypeeeeeeee.
Is not there, interesting enough, I couldnt find a Youtube video uploaded in the last month that highlights an extermination, I did found a guy that got an overkill much quicker than me and he didnt got the exterm, so somethings going on there.
With Sprint: Jump -> Smart Link -> Stabilizer -> Crouch -> Clamber
While standing: Smart Scope -> Jump -> Stabilizer -> Crouch -> Clamber
I find it easier if you are in Smart Cope prior to jumping, because you don't have much time to do all these inputs while standing still. It's a little tricky to get used to it, but once you have learned it you can climb so many positions that seemed out of your range.
Many people also use this to get into the back of the enemy base on "Raid on Apex". It's also being used by many people in Warzone Assault, because the game sometimes spawns you near the Spire in the last phase for whatever reason.

Truueeee.. i dislike slayer on the rig very much.
Good team will just set up inside. have unlimted BR ammo for all too! yayyyyyy
Yeah, I guess that's why the Plasma caster is outside, but it's pretty easy to deny it from blue team from the inside perch. Especially since the sniper is also inside.

Awesome! Can't wait to get my Elite controller and start messing around with this. Thanks for the tip!

So my brother recently bought the Warzone REQ bundle, and because we do the xbox share thing, I got it as well. Only, I haven't gotten any REQ packs as of yet. Anyone know what might be the issue here?

Then add that they have camo right there for them too. i have a nightmare memory of when a team had snipe, all brs, and held inside and occasionally up on that perch. just destroyed us every time we tried to advance on them.

im so jelly.
I'd be so worried to use in these WZ maps though. well maybe on march, in the fortress?

Embedded active camo generator? Nice. So it's faster movement speed, greater lunge especially when ADS and active camo?

would be awesome if it had it's own assassination animation. like it going through the body from the back and then chucking the spartan to the side.

The issue is that the Warzone REQ bundle can't be game shared. Yeah, the download for it will appear on your dashboard, but it's not associated with your account. Gotta buy your own I'm afraid
Yes. I have one big problem. I have only 1 sword, I don't want to use.
Haha. Yeah unless I have a cert my weapons don't get used
