Maybe i need to retire the ol good green thumb....


Im starting to dislike that i need more actions available faster/easier than face buttons allow. Especially with the trick jumps that require a combo

O rly. Aim - jump - (A) - hover (LT) - aim - crouch toggle*(b) - uncrouch (b) - clamber (a)

My thumb goes all ova tha place..... All ova.

You need to confess yourself to the Bumper Jumper temple. That would be LB + RS + LS + LB again, which you don't need to move your finger AT ALL.

Gah, my live issues better get sorted before cartographers gift launches. Running speed tests shows everything is fine. Google searches find a variety of widespread-ish issues with live at various times in the past, but its a bit concerning I see nothing related currently and the Xbox live status page shows 100%.

And what's with Xbox support these days? Twitter is my only contact?

Fingers crossed it sorts itself for you :(

Only thing I can think is redownloading the tag or something but I don't see what that'd fix :/

Well, I wasted a Whiplash immediately by dying in a game of Warzone Assault, but some powerful Void's Tear charged shots to lay down some area denial helped us clinch the win on core defense. It's probably my favorite REQ overall, even if it's not strictly the most useful.

LT zooming automatically zooms back if you are descoped, but meleeing with R stick on Helljumper (bumper jumper variant) is a pain in the ass.

Yeah...I have used the halo 4 setting will the time. Tried to switch zoom in with LT. I can play it like COD with the zoom in, but the rest of the button mapping feels weird.
 
Man every time that I try to pre order the Elite controller on Amazon MX they run out of stock :( at least I have my pre order on a retail store but I don't want to buy it there

(Amazon MX $126 USD + free shipping vs retail store $161 USD)

Will everyone get the gift?

I hope it will be sorted out for you :)

Walmart online had them in stock this morning... Snagged one with next day shipping for $10. Keep an eye out there they keep getting stock.
 
Yeah you guys were right, I was put into Onyx for FFA. Probably my highest ranking ever lol.

Can someone explain what the MMR system is all about then?

It worked like that in beta, but I believe they changed it for retail. Trigger scopers have to re-pull when descoped AFAIK
 
What is your sensitivity at, and have you been playing games like Fallout?
I keep it at 4-5 and my roommates got Battlefront recently which I've been playing with them. I started playing Halo 5 again a few nights ago and have been slowly getting worse with today being a real shitfest.

Cut your sensitivity down to 3 for a few matches to calm your shot down (I'm guessing your having trouble keeping accurate shots) Go play some warzone assault to get your headshots back. Then you just have to grind back into Team slayer Cut your sensitivity back up after a few days or even hours depending on how you feel.

When it comes to Arena Placement and map knowledge is key you have to know where each fight is, how to get there, how your team is faring, and what you need to do when you get there.

For instance: If your team is in Flowers on plaza, and the enemy is in Plaza by the hydra launcher. Don't just walk into the room with them to give them support. You should instead be going (Plaza Sneaky, light rife, or Tram-station) meaning always try to cut off and surprise the enemy instead of just jumping into direct combat. Games are won by picking up every kill not just winning one on ones.


OS, and invisibility are extremely important they are each on a 2 minute timer and can easily turn the tide of a match so keep an eye on the clock and make sure your in position to get them.


I started playing like shit after too much Fallout 4 but the sensitivity trick helped me get my perfect shots back.

Ugh.

Hate shit randoms so I play the smaller playlists with 2 other friends and we get romped by teams better than us.

So we switch to BTB/warzone and get fucked by shit randoms.

What a shitty halo night. Only won one game.

Yep of course the enemy eliminated him, clearly wasn't me.

I just sit there and wait to get my full clip in as they're about to die. I love taking Boss kills from the other team. So satisfying inducing that salt.

Common occurrence in Warzone. I honestly don't know how the game was let out the door balanced this way.

They knew what was going to happen. :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHVMi4Gf-aM

Fair enough. I'm just always puzzled by design decisions that seek to undermine the player's effort rather than reward it.

If I can pump tons of ammo into an enemy, and fight off the other players trying to kill me and him in the process for a good minute, only for one shot from a freshly respawned player I happened to miss (thanks limited FOV!) to undermine all of it, what's my motivation to try? Let alone use REQ cards for it.

I'm at the point now where I don't spend REQ cards until my team has a 300 point lead, and I never use them on bosses, only on other Spartans. At least that way, I'm guaranteed to be rewarded for my efforts, even if the reward is as simple as the kill medal popping on screen.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened here. Hijacked a banshee, but got booted from it for no reason. Heck, the stranger driver actually went on my profile, and commented on that video, not knowing either. He knew I was going to make it a clip ahah. Fun times.


Also, got a couple of good moments lately
Warzone, in the middle of the fortress, controlled by the enemy :

It looks like you got knocked when he looped back under the bridge?

Check theater mode and view it from his perspective. It might actually look pretty damn swanky, if totally unintentional.

It's the behind the scenes calculations that determines who you should matched against.

Sometimes it differs a bit from Rank, because 1) there is no deranking, 2) quitters are screw with the ranking system, but the MMR will be based on games completed.

So if you're a platinum who went up against a diamond, it could be because your MMR is approaching diamond levels, and your opponents MMR is approaching platinum levels. You can't assume just by looking at the ranks that it's a bad matchup.
