CSR TUNING
The arrival of the January 2016 Season also provides us with an opportunity to make adjustments to CSR tuning, and this comes in two different forms. Some of you have noticed the ranking distribution for the SWAT and FFA playlists was a bit skewed, causing lots of players to end up in Onyx. Weve confirmed this was occurring, and to correct this we have made adjustments to the CSR curve for these playlists. Additionally, the Multiplayer team has made some changes to placement match logic to address the issue of players placing too high across all playlists, and the new settings will ensure that your skill is more accurately represented coming out of placement. As always, well be keeping a close eye on your feedback once these changes go live.

Still in a lobby or you searching?

I know ranks do, but wasn't aware they also reset playlist stats.

I'm in lobby, join up, the others somehow managed to join a game without me following them.
:O
I see how it is. Elzar cheating on me with IHaveIce. Well, I cheated on you with Xand, too, so we are even.
I don't know. I tried using the new settings and changing them, but they completely threw me off. I was fine with the beta, fine with the launch settings.
I even use two controllers and still roughly play the same. Maybe I can't really notice what it's for. I was tired of the Elite paddle sensitivity so I went back to my sunset white launch controller for now. Playing at 6 sensitivity, 3 acceleration and then default deadzones.

If you have not unlocked all or most of the uncommon, common and rare reqs you are in for big disappointment
Thanks, but I'm busy with other stuff. Happy donging, though!
LMAO
No but seriously, I met him randomly in BTB and we won the match. Was pretty cool and it actually happens quite often that I encounter people from GAF.

Some dude on CAG was selling an "Interface Emblem Pack" for 2bucks. According to this post it should've contained one item, an interface emblem, yet oddly it contained the above.
I was rather pleased.

I was jealous, then this happened...
I said DAMN
They replaced normal breakout with Arena Breakout. Which is one of the best game modes in the game.
Nice!I was jealous, then this happened...
[EDIT] - Ah, seems like I have the Microsoft Bob one too!

We started winning once you left ;DD
Me and Robert went into Doubles and won two really tense matches. I'm now Diamond 4 in it
It's been playing up since the early hours of this morning. Hopefully whatever it is gets fixed soon. Maybe an influx of post-christmas folk getting home?

3 sens, 5 accel, 0 inner, 15 outer=GOAT settings. It literally feels like a different game.
Care to elaborate why it's your favorite? Also, I am still having trouble grasping the pros and cons of outer deadzone. Say, in a perfect environment, should it be 0?

So you're on 3 sensitivity which IMO is a great mid point between speed vs. accuracy. Your on 5 accel which means when you move your stick it only takes (complete guess) .5 seconds for all the acceleration to happen. From there on out its the same speed with no ramping up. So when you make little movements (switching aim from 1 guy to 1 next to him.) its very precise since your on 3 sense and since its a small movement acceleration has no time to ramp up. But at the same time when you looking for people/watching your back the 5 accel makes the aim feel VERY responsive and snappy. When im in gunfights it feels like im on 3 with great aim, when Im running around looking for the other team it feels like im on 5-6.
0 inner deadzone so there minimum deadzone which IMO was the main contributor to the aiming feeling bad. H5 felt like it had crazy amounts of input lag to me, this completely changes how the who game feels. I can suddenly keep up with everyone sprinting/thursting around at mach 5. outer at 15% becuase its the opposite of inner, if you want 0 deadzone the outside should be at 15. It even says it in the menus. inner-the higher the setting the more input needed outer-the higher the setting the less input needed.
Deadzones were put in so peoples controller wouldn't move their reticle/to prevent slow turn. So if you have a solid controller all that happens is its less responsive. Some people notice it some people don't hence the "omg aiming is literally awful" and "it feels fine to me" we saw.
Everyone is different but this works so well for me.

Servers down?
The interface emblem pack always contains these 3, and you can find a code for one included on the 12 Month sub cards for Live that have Chief and Locke on them. They should have text on the outside mentioning the add'l code.
Some people got banned for a bit doing that iirc. Though I think they are going with no kills at all on doubles

Never mind back into a match.
Edit: still down

I think I'm eternally cursed to be Platinum in SWAT. One match I'll win and move towards the light, next match I get three Gold players that go 3-13.
If I can manage 19-10, please consider keeping me at the same rank at least -.-
In other news, SWAT has gotten a lot more hectic.

One life elimination game types shouldn't be anywhere near the vanilla playlist for this game imo. It'd be cool if CTF had its own playlist like breakout does, but it doesn't, so I shouldn't have to cross my fingers hoping to chance upon the standard objective gametype since Halo's inception.
The outer deadline determines how far towards the edge you need to move your joystick before the game registers that you've pegged it.
The larger your outer dead zone, the sooner the game will register that you've reached the outer edge. This would essentially allow you to quick turn without moving your sticks to the outer limits.
The lower your outer deadzone, the more granular control you'd have over your reticule, as you'd be using a larger portion of the sticks operating range... To me this is preferable, because if I want to quick turn, I'll just Peg the stick.
Halo is Dad.
It's really struggling to get me into games. Maybe it's a sign I should a) play something else or b) Forge some more.
I gotta disagree... Arena breakout is a refreshing new objective gametype and deserves a spot in the only objective playlist we have.
Never in my entire life have I been so mad and frustrated with a game. I used to get a away from other games that preformed bad and play Halo to relax. I was about to break the Halo console . I've smoked cigarettes so much today and been so angry and mad.
lol...Halo is gonna kill me .
