The aesthetic is awesome. What a clever idea for a Breakout map using the outside of Empire. The glare from the sun is pretty blinding in some spots, and the map itself seems a bit cluttered, but I like it. As someone said, its got some good verticality going on, and you can't beat a cool theme running through.
Yet to play on a duplicate map! #WeBack

Sweet, I can't wait to get my hands that. I guess that map shown is the whole new map they kept mentioning in the stream?
Yeah, here's another screencap using my junk phone.

The link above is the mirror that shows just the February stuff if you want to avoid twitch.
Could just be me being salty due to playing it once and getting my ass beat, lol.

I probably started watching a few games in, but leftovers have beat EG 4 maps in a row... real rough start for commonly, probably nervous.
Edit - And EG just smoked them hard there, real good viewing.

I missed the stream too. Keep the screencaps coming.
I'm already in love with the H2 BR. I want it now
Just play Halo 2 Anniversary for a reminder.
Yeah I noticed that in Ninja's stream, who was he teaming with? I could've sworn I remember he was living with a teammate or something.

Anybody wanna run some team arena? Preferably diamond or onyx.
If you mean Stellur, he was with Optic and in their gaming mansion. In fact, he's still there despite being on a new team, it's kind of crazy lol
Is rng trying people out, or is this their line up? As official as a pro halo line up is lol

I take the time to block and report everyone that quits in my TS matches. Probably doesn't do anything, but I do it anyways. Well not everyone, mainly talking about the people that go like 2-5 in the first few minutes then rage quit. If it's like 2v4 and you quit, I'm not going to report someone like that. Like I said probably doesn't matter how much I report, but I'm going to keep doing it.

really good games between RNG and EG so far
Yeah I thought so, damn. That's a crazy move while living with them. The definition of awkward :|
I am utterly amazed at how good ninja is while he ignores the status of his shield entirely. If this guy slowed down, even a little, I think he'd be among the very best. I suppose his over aggressiveness plays into his success a bit BUT STILL.
He's on their line up, as officially as it gets at the moment anyway
Ninja has been joking all night about it.You want arkward, this is Stellur playing right now with Ninja/his new team in the Optic house. Tweeted out by them no less https://twitter.com/OpTicGaming/status/690732600600743936?ref_src=twsrc^tfw
The other guy is Optic's manager/owner
They seem to be on good terms though.

Oh man not looking good for EG. Poor Eric
But I'm also glad Ninja is doing well considering all the crap that happened to him

Yeah agreed, he needs to run sometimes.
He pushes and pushes, that's sometimes ok in objective game types but in slayer he dies too much imo.

lol i switched to suddoth2's stream. he's decimating people with the storm rifle.
I'm such a halo pussy in comparison. I literally make sure my shields are fully charged after any engagement before I resume play. True beta halo 5 player, lol.

Didn't realize that we're slowly working towards the next OT
Thanks! At night the office is pretty much empty, so if we're not busy we can put anything we want on the screens. Why not Halo!

Don't cleanse me bro.
The ending "cutscene" post-match for that map is badass.

Gahhh why the fuck do so many of these new Breakout maps have camo on them?
Camo is insanely powerful in this game, it is way too OP in a game where people have lowered health and die in one melee. It's the reason Gambol is one of my least favorite maps, but the bright side was that it was the only map with camo. Now there's like 5 more!
The only power up that should be anywhere near Breakout is speed boost.

I got randomly disconnected from the party, but it was good playing with you dcot and dark silver. I'll be on tomorrow if you guys want to continue to reqt some kids.
The amount of team changes and swap around in the pro scene these past few days has been insane. It's been interesting to watch and try to keep up with while eating popcorn. I wonder if any other hurricanes will fly through with the roster lock being.. Tomorrow?
I still can't believe that in the OpTic team house, one guy left for another team, and now one guy has been dropped. All still living in the same house :3

Onyx 1725
Diamond 3
Platinum 2 (Myself, who cant seem to break P5)
Gold 1
The final score was 45-50 thanks only in part to our Onyx going 24 and 10.
Personally I went 7 and 14 because shocker, the other team has map control down. (So many rockets.)
As expected our Gold 1 went 3 and 17, a whole -14 KD.
I've said it before but seriously fuck this fucking game, every high is met with an equal low. I won't be there for Halo 6, that's for sure.

Glad I found someone with the same view as me. I HATE camo in Breakout. It is way to powerful for such a mode. The speedboost is such a nice way to give a slight advantage without going over the top. With camo on these Breakout maps, they are near impossible to see if they walk slowly. It is so frustrating loosing because the enemy had camo and can easily just wipe out 3+ people.

gg indeed
Reminds me...
I was playing with a friend that doesn't play a ton of halo. We're playing pylon, a new breakout map for us and I notice a power up bottom mid glowing white. I tell him to cautiously push it with me, because camo is OP. he does, I die. He grabs "camo" and proceeded to hunt the enemy down casually, cause you know, he's invis! I finally change spectate cam to his pov and I'm like "dude, that wasn't camo, you aren't invisible. In fact, you are glowing white. That's a speed boost". Many lulz were had.
