- Thread starter BraXzy
- Start date
It's just Halo 5 embracing its CE roots.
"Sniper! Camo! Shotguns! Rockets! Overshields! For a 2v2 map!"

so are they playing an official game right now or are they inbetween matches?
EDIT: nm i see it now.
They're really behind others because the other teams are not as good and taking a long time. They're waiting on the winner between Spock & A vs. Y'all lo.
When they're in a custom match you know they're playing as part of the LCQ.
Edit: http://gamebattles.majorleaguegamin...urnament/online-last-chance-qualifier/bracket
Here is the bracket. There is a lot of top guys on other teams too, so will be really tense when it gets to the 8v8, 4v4, 2v2 etc.

So Halo 5 needs needs new roots. Like Call of Duty. Loadouts and Scorestreaks.

But seriously, just take one of them out.

They'll make it. Player composition is legit.
Then again I've never seen the twins play Halo 5. Guess this will be my first.

Beard with the nice triple
EDIT: Decent comeback by Optic

I thinks this is an even match. If they get by Sudds, they'll take it.

They didn't control rockets and still out slayed them. That says a lot.
You know Halo is returning when even the Sudds pull in over 600 viewers. Can't imagine the run up to finals.
So crazy 343 Pro Team rarely streams. Hecz from OpTic spoke the truth. You can't say the pro scene is dead if all you do is talk shit on Twitter, stream the night before tournaments, play and then log off for days/weeks at a time.

15 power weapon kills. Making them plays.
True, but they did give up a 2-0 run in CTF.
Anyway, Optic did out class them when they needed to.
On another note, Why isnt the LCQ being officially broadcasted?

That's cause they didn't do a good job controlling power weapons. They controlled the Rig and you saw how lopsided that was. They have to work on those timers. A good coach will remedy that.
For a team to control rockets and not control the map says that team doesn't know when to make plays or how to work the map.

My matches have been really unfair and people leave, so I'm not seeing advantages in social playlist.
Just wanted to say sorry for not joining the party earlier, I had time just for two quick matches before leaving for dinner (can't be late for pizza) and joined the game to help win those matches.
Hope I have more time the next time a session like this happens, big groups can be great at Warzone Assault games.

Halo is definitely fun to watch again. Been a long time that ive enjoyed watching me some Halo.

Optic has trouble controlling items on the map. Things like ov and camo are huge, if they want to get far, they are going to have to fix that asap. They won the slayer, but controlling camo would have made it less stressful on them. They did a good job of shutting down one the other team's camo grab, but still.

I think I just need to stop playing Arena at late hours 12 am to 6 am (PST) because that's when I get my really bad games (lag and bad teammates). Probably has something to do with the lack of players at that time, so I get matched with people outside my region and skill levels. Playing during the day and at prime times, I don't have any issues with the game. I actually get a lot of good games like this one:

Anybody have the problems in customs when none of the bookmarks for map types will load? Because every time I click on them nothing happens and just stays as no map type selected.

Yo Thorn, leave that other weird SC and join ours you douche.
I must have unfollowed MLG accidently... Silly me... I've been watching flame's as well...

That W they took was one tough one. They outslay their opposition, but they don't control things, or make opportune plays. Spend more time killing than doing the objective. lol
Flame helping his team as the carrier towards the end was a smart play. It help them secure the recover.

Jesus can boot someone though, just like he booted Mary.
Yeah, IF they make it out of this tourney, they have a TON of work to do if the want to compete with the likes EG, CLG, RNG, or Allegiance
On another note, it's freshing to see people in flame's Chat coming to the realization that Halo is damn good. I saw quite a few people mention that they may be playing the wrong shooter.

Cross posting from the Forge OT - (hope no one minds)
Current progress on a 2v2 map I've been playing around with. Just looking to gather some feedback on the design, aesthetics, and layout. Please keep in mind, it's for 2 v 2 and nothing else. I'd really appreciate some of the higher level players giving it a whirl too, just to see how it plays for the super competitive among us.
Walkthrough video is available for your viewing pleasure here also.
Beautiful. Very nice work. I like the "purity" of it.

If indeed. If they even want to make it out of this tourney, they are going to have to do a better job keeping track of things now. Their last match gave them a tough time, I do not want to even know what their coming matches will look like. lol
I am unfamiliar with the Optic Organization, but seeing Flame pull this many viewers makes me want them to win cause this is healthy for Halo. They better step their game up for the coming matches.
Everyone is active, unless you plan on exiting for the Battlefront SC. ;P
