Why is social so sweaty. Clans playing and all.

I noticed this in both the Holiday playlist and BTB. Some games would be reasonably even and a lot of fun (people would even get into warthogs in BTB!) and the next game my team (consisting mainly of people who use the AR in BTB) would get repeatedly team shotted for the entire duration of a CTF match because the other team didn't even try to score since I assume they wanted to grind out their K/Ds on us. I hope it's possible to make social playlists not count towards your K/D since at least for now some people seem to be abusing the crap out of them.

This was a pretty hilarious brofist moment in one of the good games. It's stuff like this I've missed in Halo 5 so far, I hope these final few issues can be grinded out because when I was having fun tonight, I was having a lot of fun.

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

I hope you're right and this was just an issue with people not having played enough to get rated yet.

 

[op_ivy]

Is noctus on assualt?

 

[Feel the Swift]

Why all the hate with Snipers in social? Also Social Slayer was 5v5 in the past do people not remember?

Played Snipers on Entombed and had fun.

 

[Kastrioti]

I miss the Mantis on Guillotine already. Why was it taken out? Countered the Banshee on that map perfectly IMO.

No, I just want to practice lol. I'm no beast at H5.

Social counts for overall KD?

 

[therealminime]

Opened a gold pack and got that classic BR! Curious to see what it looks like.

I assume so since it definitely counts towards the Arena playtime (and someone else mentioned it in this thread). I hope it's a simple fix if true.

(Just to be clear, I want my social games to be completely skill matched like the rest of Arena. I just don't want people to have any incentive to grind stats in them.)

 

[BraXzy]

Anyone that was Diamond in Breakout down for doing placement matches?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Getting used to the new settings.

 

[klaus]

343 did a great job with the update - I've set aim acceleration to 1 & inner deadzone to 5%, now it REALLY. controls like halo again

The only skull I've found yet is grunt birthday party, seems like xmas came early this year - landing headshot after headshot feels just so great *pop* *yay* *pop*...

Spoiler

looking forward to playing mp regularly again soon

Until one team has banshee and Mantis and you get steamrolled.

 

[...Scatter...]

So sexual. Love the subtle changes!

 

[MThanded]

All of my ranking matches have had people quit.

It's worse now than ever.

 

[Ramirez]

Why is social so sweaty. Clans playing and all.

Social or not, I'm always playing to win, I doubt most people feel any differently.

I only wanted social for more relaxed skill matching in hopes of not having 7 HCS pros in every match I played.

 

[TCKaos]

Been playing Warzone for a few hours. Still no new map and I still haven't won a single match. Getting real tired of getting 7+ REQ every game and not using any of them because I'd be burning them on Armory defense that wouldn't matter anyway because my team is bad.

Also had all three legendary bosses stolen from me last round, so really not having fun.

 

[User 73706]

Fun fact: in Forge, chroma keys will intercept player reticles (up to and including groundpounds, which means you'll only groundpound into the chroma key itself) but you can still walk through them completely. They're basically opaque shield doors.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Did anyone experience a glitch on entombed shooting out of the blue base? I was trying to shoot enemies across the map and you could just see the bullet piercing floating in the air like it was an invisible wall. I should have recorded it.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

I'm on my fourth snipers in a row in holiday social. 5 of 6 today in holiday social. Snipers literally gives me a headache.
Edit: Make that 5 times in a row. I love torturing myself by not quitting.
Edit: 6 times in a row.

Bravo sound team, Bravo.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

• 10 sensitivity
• 5 acceleration
• 0% inner and outer dead zone

Next step, vertical/horizontal axes. So glad they're giving us these options!

I might have missed it but I didn't see this discussed on here, some might like to know this new feature!:

This is awesome.

 

[op_ivy]

Still getting a ton of lag. Wonder if it's related to my 100% packet loss I was having last time I tried to play? Going off a mancannon is hilarious.

 

[see5harp]

Man playing placement matches is a nice change of pace. So many newbies, I almost feel like sending them messages of encouragement for sticking in there during some of these matches.

My first three #s are the same and it feels oh so good. I'm so glad it solved my issues. I've been getting so many perfects!!!

Right. Lunar controller with 0 has no drift. So good.
So good

You mean the Burial Mounds remake? Hadn't noticed that.

On anti-freeze there are barriers floating in the air to block certain sight lines to the top lift/nest area and I can tell it's confusing some people because they keep trying to shoot through them. Especially noticeable when they try to hit you with a binary.

Btw, right now the Binary is a nice change but I worry it will get annoying fast. Thing is pretty beastly and not that hard to use.

 

[link1201]

Because true skill still works...

I'm really glad if that's the case. One of the best features of this game. I sometimes wish Warzone was ranked had tighter skill matching settings.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Yeah these first few placement matches were close. The ctf game was 2 to 3. Me scoring it in the last 7 seconds. Intense!!!

Ill do theater later. For my own sake. Im old so plz understand.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

placement matches are scary, I need someone to team with ;_;

[CloudyTuba]

New reqs are already live, right? I want that mk4.

Edit: The dream is dead.

 

[link1201]

Only one game but Entombed was fun. I am getting crossed eyed or I'd play more. I set my aim acc. to 2 and dead zones to zero. I didn't think I'd notice but wow what a difference. 343 keep on keeping on with these updates.

Just used these settings ... utter perfection. Went 18-5 in Warzone. Felt so good. Triples and doubles everywhere.

 

[TCKaos]

Noctus is actually in, right? Has anyone played on it yet?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Got it the first Warzone match I played today

It's pretty great. Gonna need more playtesting, but I'm loving the middle base.

Id quote your pic but im on mobile. Bwahah glad you liked my settings.

I felt as if i could actually aim diagonally with these changes. Lol i still have to try them in warzone.

 

[Nutter]

Do social playlist count towards your stats?

Why wouldn't they?

Social Stats have counted since Halo 3. So not sure what this complaining is about.

 

[Unfriendly TimeTraveler]

Anyone know if Orion is back in map rotation or is it still gone? Was a decent map and last time I checked the way to get out of map was fixed (or I'm just bad with the jump), so are they changing the map or is it forever removed?

 

[therealminime]

Finally got a match on Noctus, it was fun. It feels very different from the other map, much more open, circular. The middle base is really great, tough to defend.

 

[daedalius]

I mean, I'm glad we have these new control settings to fiddle with.

But I really would have preferred they just made it control really well to begin with, so I don't have to screw with it. I played a few matches and it's definitely better, but I need to keep messing with it before I am satisfied.

 

[Velikost]

Can social reward daily reqs?

Edit: It can

 

[Nori Chan]

oh, didn't realize I was complaining.

Can't even ask a simple question without getting jocked on smh

 

[soloscout]

Looking for insight HaloGAF: I was a huge fan of Halo 2-Reach, really only matchmaking, not a big fan of campaign(s). I do not own a Xbox One as MCC was such a let down at launch. I held off. Halo 5 initial reviews seemed lackluster, but now I'm hearing it's where it should be. If I'm only going to play matchmaking is Halo 5 worth getting a Xbox One for?

 

[Granadier]

Fuck yeah.

I totally hear you. But i think this was almost necessary as their goal in e-sports is to be relevant for a long time. Giving people extra depth to really cuztomize their style of play is a long term goal i feel.

Damn, I feel like I have to use your settings now. Even though I haven't had an issue with the controls.

I didn't either, but holy shit
