Overgrowth's layout is really, really confusing to me.

So Noctus was just a lie right? It just doesn't exist.

Yeah we got Shotty Snipers 3 times in a row. Was enough to make me turn off the Xbox.

All this because he got stuck on a piece of geometry on his first match playing on a new map.

fucking hell, I'm gonna get a platinum because I lost two team-mates in a breakout arena match and and then I got partied up with some terrible players in another and lost it badly.
so long my diamond and my hopes for a onyx this season

The best part is how it takes 10 minutes to fill up a Warzone game cause everyone leaves when they see it's not Noctus.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I know it was a purposeful change, but now that social is a thing, it should be brought back. People who don't want to play ranked don't have to now.

I like the twisty tunnel feel of overgrown, it's a much more run and gun map then the rest of them because of that.

Hmm, I should probably finish off my uncommons/rares before buying these Gold packs.
Do I spend it on Gold for a chance at Mk. IV when I have 26 uncommons/rares left or just get Silvers until that's done? Tough decision ;b

Silvers surely. You'll still have 135k left for golds when you are done.

I would have taken a plain DMR I could call in at level 6 over a rarely available level 8 though man. How many warzone games have people played that get to 8? And tbh by the time the game gets there, you wouldnt even be able to enjoy it.
Also 343 pls, multiteam BTB strongholds — it works like this:
— There are 4 capture points instead of 3.
— Three teams of 4 or 5 players fighting over them (red, yellow, blue)
— Still requires 2 captures to score
— uses the larger forge maps but with some cool bases
The game now becomes as much about actively denying the other two teams from scoring as it is about scoring for yourself. Also some potential for "enemy of my enemy" scenarios. Craziness, hilarity
and inevitable betrayals of temporary alliances
Managed to get Mk IV as my first legendary armor. No Helmet though
Holiday Social is a bit of a disappointment I agree. Shotty snipers AND regular snipers in 5v5? Still, it's more options can't complain too much.
Played two matches and one was against a team of 5 that kept tea bagging :|
I could barely navigate overgrowth when I went into a custom. Very pretty but visually confusing. Noctus is a real nice change of pace and the Burial Mounds remake is awesome,

Oh damn, 26 was only including weapon loadouts actually.. Forgot about emblems and visors LOL
Shiiiiit
Few more placement matches and then I'm going to try out Forge properly. Anyone have some tips to avoid early frustration?

Get frustrated early to get it out of the way.

invert your controls in the app and then invert them again in game. works wonders.
Knocking yourself on the head enough that you forget all previous Forges is probably the best one. I'm really bad at adapting to things, so I think getting used to these controls is gonna' take a long time for me...

Go balls out Gold. You know you want to.

Just tried to, so I bought 7 Golds and only got about 3 armors above rare... Screw that, might as well finish all these unlocks before wasting on Gold lol
Blehh, this RNG nonsense in my Halo customization.

I got it first game of the night and it was legit. I love how open it feels but still action packed. I think the design of the dead zones near the home bases in the 3 initial maps was a mistake. I hope we get more maps like Noctus. I also remembered to use my upgraded saw which was a nice bonus. I would love to see a hornet on this map.

yeah, overgrowth is too busy.
i almost wonder if this is an example of community feedback steering devs the wrong way.
"too much bland UNSC textures! give us something pretty!"
*hands us something pretty
"too busy! give us something less busy!"
Yeah, that first game I was basically running in circles. The mini windows don't help...

Ugh, holiday social is pretty junky. Snipers... Snipers... Slayer...
Anyone know if there are the tools/parts to make anything new in Forge game type wise... Even 1 flag?

Four. One Arena map, two BTB maps, and a Warzone map.

Flags have Attacker/Defender tags.
Yeah... I actually hate how many customization options there are for this very reason. Take them out of req!
That BTB idea sounds amazing! Two of the cap points need to be in nuetral areas.
They need to split up customization REQ's with game play affecting REQ's. Makes no sense that you should suffer getting a 5th SMG when you want an emblem etc. Maybe have guaranteed 1 permanent armor/customization REQ and 1 permanent vehicle/weapon unlock, or different packs etc.
It's also crazy to me that I have 4 scout Warthogs and no banshee, one of the central vehicles to Halo multi-player. Whatever, maybe if I play more I could unlock some more stuff. Gotta see how sustain works this go around especially in the coming months.

I hopped in a Ghost on Standoff Snipers earlier, honestly the only way I could possibly have fun on that shit.
God damn I'm gonna get ranked as wood! So many quitters tonight. 5 matches down and I don't think I've had a single full team at the end of a match. Plus, lag. Are you shitting me!? Fuck this shit, I need a drink.
Also sword and shotgun on close quarters overgrowth may have been a mistake.

Jesus I can't believe bungie thought some crazy button combination which required your chin to lower weapons was more obvious than this solution.
Because true skill still works lol. What were you expecting? To dump on kids? Then they'l go online and post how social is too tryhard
