Ahh, of course. That's quite a lot of weight, for anyones back
Nice thanks for these, gonna give them a watch. I saw quite a few cool jumps on Regret during Chigs stream. People are finding some sweet routes already. Clamber adds a whole new layer of jumpable spaces.
On the topic of the update, I think it's gonna be tomorrow. I'm 90% sure of it.

In your dreams lol, no way they patch out an original map. Already lacking in that dept. as it is.

Losing a rather balanced warzone because warden eternal is worth 250points to the team that hits him last is so annoying.

This is awesome thanks for the links. Hope he does one for Plaza and Truth because I know there's a couple useful jumps on those.
I hope you know I wasn't serious
Boo, rigs a good map... Just not for slayer

Oops my b
Wow, I've watched multiple trick jumps for Plaza and they all have different version of the jumps or completely different ones. It's pretty incredible how much clamber and thrusting are being utilized for this game.
Yup, folks rolled their eyes when the Spartan abilities were revealed... The charge was that it dumb halo down, when in reality, they've been implemented in a way that adds more depth to the proceedings.
It's amazing to watch people leveraging every book and cranny in these maps

Can't lie, I was definitely a skeptic...but couldn't agree more. Maps don't even seem to be designed 100% with clamber in mind..some of these weren't intentional.
For future reference, yes. "behind a cone NAT" is a more detailed way to say "Open".
It's hard to tell what was intentional and what wasn't. Im sure that the crouch jumps, stabilizer jumps, cancels and mason jumps were planned for the most part.
It's, Still not clear if the slide boost was intentional, but it's awesome.
Even if some of this stuff was accidental, kudos for 343 for laying down the groundwork by having solid mechanics...

Oh shit, really? Does that mean the update is dropping today?

Sounds about right
Driving a Warthog perhaps? That does sound dubious for WZ Assault though.
I see no ranks next to it anymore
Inititally I wasn't against the whole last hit thing for Warzone bosses, it's like that in all the MOBA's I'd played before. It was a harsh but tested rule. But I just did this and it's the perfect example why what works for MOBA's doesn't work in Warzone.

It won us the game and even I think its cheap. There's literally no way the enemy team could have stopped that, no way to lock down any area of the map to yourself, unlike DOTA where the Roshan encounter exists in a bubble. I hope the dual health bars idea is being looked at. That way, if your team fails to get the kill, you know you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Still ranked for me.
This same thing happened to a bunch of people yesterday. It's not actually social yet it's just a glitch

Can confirm, never played BTB and there is no placement match count on the playlist anymore.

Oh this is actually brilliant!!! Display both, too.
No clue. He's a 90 SR though, using candy cane emblem and arena team squadron was his spartan company. I thought he'd bust out some wicked REQ's, be one of the top players.
Related but I finally played a laggy match. 5 minutes went by so slowly, and my shots would register but delayed. Ended up with 20+ assists because my teammates would get the kill. They even did the exploit and still couldn't take garage. Frank/Tashi/Josh, any time table on when this exploit will be fixed?

reward the points spread over percentage of damage done, if a team does 75% of the work to kill the AI, give them 75% of the points.
Does holding a base give you points? if not they need to do something about that because I see matches where people capture a base then just go out killing instead of taking other bases over.
I don't like this solution. It would be weird as hell for the announcer to go "teammates killed Warden Eternal" only to get 20% of the points...
Yes. Scoring with bases works exactly like StrongHolds.
Same. That and I'd rather have the big comeback potential.

if social lists are out though, or coming out.......that might mean an update is getting pushed out....
Rather than a dual health bar, I'd rather the encounter happen in a bubble... If locking down the area is a valid strategy, then losing the kill due to failure to lockdown should still be a thing...
The problem is that on two of the 3 maps, locking down the area isn't really possible...
Possibly badly worded, by unranked I meant the ranked playlists but he hasn't done 10 placement matches. So it looked reset. My bad.

in Hots we have the ability to defend a location. we know where they would come from.
in h5 you have 12 different ways to gank the opposing team or kill the warden. just simply cant contain that much of the map in h5.
idc about warzone wins/losses though. just there to use my crazy req and hope i dont die in the first 10 seconds lmao.
maybe they will tweak it down the road and have a better designated location for the warden. like the battle of the 3 type of deal. except it wont be 3 of them, just one. a team needs to go in a team needs to defend.

i think the solution to the bosses is spread the map more, more enemy spawns near armorys. more bosses.
the warden shouldnt be basically the WIN enemy.
in a game with maps with so many different approaches this might be a bad idea though. considering the best way to capture a base is when the other team gets a middle base, just go behind them because the whole enemy team has a mass exodus over to that middle base. more bosses might just spread the action too much

I thought the DLC was dropping today, sad to not see it there.

"week of" the 15th
I'd prefer a consistent, non-random spawn. What if, instead, the Warden instakills everything in a 30m radius when he spawns, to clear out campers?
This whole week of the 15th stuff is confusing so many people. They should have just left it at December or give us a solid date :/

PvE Warzone idea, sounds really cool but damn would it take a lot of resources, we can dream big though.
