Thanks, already feels way better.

While I dont think WZ is meant to be super competitive, I'd be ok with them using the behind the scenes skill matching they use in arena. I think using that would account for having better reqs by the nature of the system and provide better matches overall.
Also turn inner deadzone to 0
Yep, atmosphere is highly underrated by some developers.
Really don't like how lore has to be present in MP - feels like it restricts creativity a lot. Seasons would also be an amazing addition. Coliseum with light snowfall would be amazing, for instance.

I try to win, but I'm fine with losing... But I cannot stand when you come up against a team in warzone who take all bases and park tanks, rocket hogs ect. outside your base and kill everyone over and over with no intention of taking out the core.
Its terrible behaviour, people will leave warzone if that shit happens enough.
I saw someone suicide with nades, im assuming they didn't want to give them the pleasure/stat.
I hid and picked off damaged enemies only.
Anyway... Pathetic antics, if you do this you are hurting the game.
There's a bearded twitch streamer who does it too.

There's really no reason why the lore they added should restrict the creativity. It's a simulation so they could do anything they wanted to really.

I was in a game like that the other day. It was a JiP and some guy on the other team had +60 kills already. I just quit out because I'm not even going to bother with a match like that.
I actually don't like the whole "simulation" thing. Would prefer just MP with no explanation. Not a big deal though.
--
Watching the Asian QL and one of the teams won a team slayer on Truth with 50 kills to 4 on the other team LOL.
The way they've included more into the MP shouldn't for any more/less creative restrictions...
The idea is that they are war simulations... So they can do anything anywhere...
Yeah some of the levels definitely look a little dated. I've not played much of the multiplayer but Warzone does seem cool. Will get into that a little more when the campaign's done.

I set them both at 0 and it feels pretty good. Should I change the outer deadzone to anything specific?
I haven't heard any consensus on that... It boils down to how soon you want the system to realize you want to turn (initiate aim acceleration( The higher you go (15% max) the sooner you'll start turning...
I bumped mine up to 15% and play has suffered quite a bit... I think I'm going to go back to 10%
This looks real sweet! Great work, fingers crossed this gets tested and swapped in ASAP.
Yeah, that's what I am hoping. Even though it sounds silly, stating it's a simulation doesn't make it feel as exciting or mysterious. Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually upset, just nitpicking lol. Overall, I am just looking forward to more content.

Not everyone was a fan of Standoff in Halo 3, but I loved it. One of my more favorite maps to be honest. Your work on this map is really nice. Hope to see it get swapped in.

If anyone needs someone to play or test maps, pm me!
Yeah I was watching the Latin America teams yesterday during the stream.... I think I could beat them lol
The Asian Qualifiers, the little I saw, were a hoot. One team were described by a commentator as 'strong comers' and whatever their name was, should now be changed to that.
Would love another EG upset tonight for the NA qualifiers to mix things up even further. Hope Team Liquid do well, people seem to love or hate Ninja but I think that's a good thing for the esport.

I love the announcers for the Asian qualifiers - they get so excited.
I'd love for EG to destroy everyone lol.

I'm subbed to Roy, couldn't resist after seeing him run that duck hunt map, I just don't want everyone thinking 1st place and the $2 million + is already set in stone for EG.backflip10019

You should try Warzone Assault. It's way better.
uh no? this tourney isn't just about qualifying, it's about seeding too.
and they won the #1 tourney and got like #3 or #4 in the #2 tourney.
other regions have teams that aren't beatable like Aftermath in Asia. They will keep playing and likely get a high seed because they have no competition so they will have the highest pro points.
NA teams will walk over other regions with ease.

I wonder if 343 will ever address the EU servers issue? Me an many others have complained on this thread of getting matched against US players most of the time, with an insane disadvantage, and then when finally getting to play local players, seeing crazy good KD ratios.
The thread at Halo Waypoint is over 100 pages long, and 343 has reacted with... Nothing at all.

From what I noticed, winning an OQ in NA doesn't give you a "spot" in the finals, it only rewards you with points and prize money. I think the Online Qualifers for NA all count as one big qualifier(along with the ladder, Top 15 teams advance to Regionals), while the "Last Chance Qualifer" is a separate "qualifier" and none of the previous 15 teams can play in it to increase their seed in the Regional tournament.
edit:

(past the points distribution)
I really wish there were more lan events. Even though I like the pro scene I can't bring myself to really care about the qualifiers. I'd rather watch them play over money than points which is the main draw to the online qualifiers (Yes I know in the long run it's still for money but u get my point I hope). After all only the team that wins these qualifiers gets any $ and it's a really small amount.
Idk I think with a prize pool that large they could have spread it out a little more so more people at least get something out of it... There's gonna be some solid teams that play this game full-time only to walk away with nothing. Rough.
I feel for the NA teams that just barely miss out on making the main event because we all know they would stomp these international teams.

I'm absolutely done with playing Team Arena, getting Slayer as the mode and having teammates quit.
At least with CTF or Stronghold the game can end without you eating a ton of deaths. But when you're down to just two people on a team..eating 20+ deaths just to end the game without a penalty is idiotic.
So I've invented a new game for myself, although others have probably been doing it, which is to just hide and let the clock run out. At least it's somewhat fun to force the enemy to run all over the map for 5 minutes trying to find you.
343 plz, figure out this is one of the least fun parts of your game and implement something like a forfeit rule.

I don't think a surrender option is needed but I think quits should be handled like Dota 2.
In Dota 2 when a teammate quits/abandons the game the game becomes "safe to leave." This means that you can quit without the risk of going to low-priority queue (Dota 2's form of a MM ban). You will still get a loss and lose rank but at least you aren't forced to sit there and get donged on and can get into another match much quicker.
And of course this way it won't ruin your K/D and stuff for those that care about it.

Yeah I'm familiar with that system and something like that would be fine.
But don't take my post to indicate that K/D is the end all be all. It's the experience of getting killed over and over and over again in order to end a match without punishment which I find beyond stupid.
A more positive person with more time on their hands to play might look at it as an opportunity to practice those 1v3 situations but..fuck that let me get to the next match.

Whatever feels best to you and makes you play best. There's no right answer.
Big multi-faction fights have been lacking since Halo CE, and it's definitely a shame. Halo 4 actually did them better than any previous game, but it was still restricted to one level before the Covenant and Prometheans became buddy-buddy.
Would have been nice to have found and rallied survivors on Genesis, although then there are story implications you have to address.

I've been XP whoring in arena. Slayer/breakout wtf are they doing there? It should be changed to objective...
Also, am I the only person who thinks that some of these maps just don't seem that great for objective games?

EG are getting some serious advantage this tournament as it looks like they're all playing from the same house.
They're probably mad they didn't win the second qualifier so this is their fix.

I don't think I can play Warzone any more after playing Arena.
343 needs to implement more features like NPC enemies to attack territories more often than the mini boss drops.
Litter the field with Grunts, Elites, Crawlers, and Soldiers. Isn't that what made the original Halo campaign amazing with them different factions and deciding when to choose your battles? A change like this would make be awesome.
As for Arena, Team Arena needs some serious tweaking. Why does Breakout have radar in that mode? Also, there are too many quitters when I play either on my team or the enemy team. Seriously ruins the pacing, fun, and ranking aspect of it.
That game you invented is something I've played since Halo 2. Try to build a small lead and hide.
Unfortunately, not many hiding spots in these maps.
I'm stuck in Gold league because of how many placement games I lost. Started in Silver.
On Team Slayer, ranked Plat because there weren't quitters in my games.

What does BYE stand for?
They get a free win into the next round. (for being a higher seed)
But does it mean a team didn't turn up or something? Or they got a leg up due to past performance?
Edit: Ahh okay, makes sense.
Too many Twitch tabs open.
Ty for this, didn't realise just how many games were going on.
