Yes I agree team

If you are some casual that doesn't poopsock this game on the reg you are getting replaced with someone who does.

Mods aren't included in that obviously

We are actually pretty close for 3/5, pretty sure we can do it by the end of February or so. The 5/5 on the other hand, maybe by the end of the year lol.

Is there space for another fellow Spartan? I really want to join the HaloGAF company

 

[Samurai G0SU]

We have 29 unranked folks this season. So that's roughly 70 "active" people.

Let's test it, we should mark down a bunch of stats and come check em in a week.

This is the current top 6 commendations as of right now:

But....

I haven't paid any attention to Spartan Companies. Which should I join and how?

I like this cut throat attitude.

Should have made you a mod earlier.

It's at the 100 cap atm, once more inactive players get removed I don't see why you couldn't join! However, I'm not a mod, so you'd have to ask someone like Tawpgun.

It would be nice if they could raise the limit, I don't know if it's a technical issue or what.

Juices is alone in A I R F L O W so he should join regular HaloGAF, but he hasn't really been playing for past few weeks.

 

[jizzlobber]

These guys are probably the closest I've seen.

However, they have members with a ridiculous amount of playtime. Players with +25k kills.

I see them on australian warzone games, they are brutal... They just go around donging on all the non teams all night long, really high lvl players (140+).

I go play arena when I see them around.

[Double Donut]

Wow, I've underestimated the gungoose for far too long.

I was just in a warzone match and decided to call in a gungoose because why not, I have so many and I didn't want to call in anything valuable.

I went on a god damned killing frenzy with it.

Gungooses (Gungeese?) are deceptively good. I used to sell every one I got but then got on one after I killed an enemy because why not and went on a killing spree. Plus they're tons of stupid fun to use.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Thinking of abandoning my brothers Company. We are both active, but there are just too few of us in the company.

I get killed by BRs when im on it too quickly.

 

[rakkadakka]

It's fun using the gungoose as long range artillery.

So easy to throw the explosives through chokepoints in Warzone Assault.

I don't think ranked really matters when it comes to commendations. If anything WZ is probably the fastest way of completing all the necessary requirements. Personally, I spent the majority of my time in WZ, BTB, and TS. TS is the only ranked mode I played this season really.

[BraXzy]

Behind the curve; why are we concerned about who's ranked?

One of the new armour pieces coming in this months update (which looks pretty dope) is tied to Spartan Company commendations to unlock. There are a bunch of Kill commendations you've got to max out. And they are crazy, like hundreds of thousands of kills, thousands of headshots, splatters etc.

So if you have a tonne of people who aren't ranked in your company, chances are they aren't active. It's a good way to roughly judge how many people have actually played in the past month since chances are an active player has placed in at least one Arena playlist.

 

[E92 M3]

I'll be honest, I will get performance anxiety. I'm not really an entertainer haha.

 

[The Henery]

Nobody should feel bad for Ogre 2 getting dropped, the guy's been ruthless over the years in dropping under performers and he more than anyone I've ever seen in the league treats competitive Halo as 'just business'.

I take back what I said about the Storm Rifle, it's an absolute beast when pulsed. Went on a killing frenzy with it earlier in FFA.

 

[BraXzy]

I'd join but I wouldn't want to replace Frankie as SWAT god

Ok thank you

Is it just me or the REQ system and the store are down at the moment?

Edit: nevermind is back

Never doubt the words you see on your screen from me. ;P

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I've got one more game needed to rank in slayer (gotta pick up that bronze ranking!) and then I'll probably go back to playing mostly btb. But I admit I haven't been on much as everyone else. Slowly becoming more active.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

So the Achilles armor can't be given in a REQ pack at all? Because I thought every single armor/dlc/REQ would be able to have a chance of getting it. Even something like Helioskrill can be awarded through the REQ system.

I hope that's the case, but wouldn't really be bothered if it wasn't. Mk. IV, Mk. V, and a handful of other helmets is all I need. Achilles looks sweet though, so hopefully it can be earned through REQ's, as well as the Helioskrill.

I feel like if you miss a couple shots though with it you're screwed. I always seem to overheat it and can't switch to my pistol quick enough to finish the kill.

 

[Caja 117]

After reading a couple of post here about the storm rifle, I decided to pick it up last night games.....Holy mother of god that shit is Powerful, it is indeed a power weapon.

 

[Strider]

More and more people are seeing the light...

Gun needs a nerf

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Speaking of the Storm Rifle, I'd love to see the Plasma Rifle make its return with plasma stun.

More and more people are seeing the light...

Gun needs a nerf

I'd rather they just have one on each map, maybe adjusting its respawn rate, instead of nerfing its power.

 

[Digital Limit]

Why would it need a nerf? It's powerful, but it's also a map pickup.

 

[Leyasu]

No don't Nerf it. Quite often there is more than one on the map so both teams can have one.

More often than not though, people seem to not pick them up.

 

[Caja 117]

I think is fine, it does have a short clip.


But, I was actually surprised when I picked it up, before I was getting killed by it, but never in frequency, so I never pay too much attention to it, but after grabbing it yesterday, who need the sniper? Storm Rifle here I come,

 

[JackHerer]

Kinda on the fence re: storm rifle nerf. It gets pretty annoying on maps like Empire where it spawns so frequently right outside the base. Sometimes feels like everyone has one in their back pocket.

I almost always pick it up. Immediately swap my AR off spawn if I can.

 

[Strider]

Why would it need a nerf? It's powerful, but it's also a map pickup.

Because it limits weapon variety...

Everyone picks it up every time they spawn. Slayer matches on maps like Empire for example I literally hear the gun firing non fucking stop.

I'd rather they just have one on each map, maybe adjusting its respawn rate, instead of nerfing its power.

I'd be ok with this.

Its not tier 2 powerful but It is too powerful to be on a 10 second respawn timer and have multiple spawns on a map...

All the pew pew noises haunt me

 

[E92 M3]

Spawn rifle is a great backup weapon when everyone else has powerful weapons.

Honestly, I think nerfing/buffing anything would disrupt the beautiful sandbox we have.

Agree, the weapon balance and gameplay is perfect on Halo 5 every weapon now it's deadly
