Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped
- Thread starter BraXzy
- Start date
If I had to choose between the BR, The pistol or the Boltshot, It's gonna be one of the first 2 every time. The homing aspect doesn't make up for the fact that it takes .4s longer to kill someone.
In Warzone or against lesser goes, maybe. But in Arena, I'm probably not gonna touch it.
The warm up times for the Surpressors kill it for me. It's got the same TTK as the AR, but only if it's at full speed. So why not just use the AR. Again the homing capabilities don't mean much if you have decent accuracy, or are within the range.
There's a reason pro's generally ignore these weapons...
Suppressor is okay, its good in the campaign/Warzone because it targets weak spots on AI enemies but in Arena multiplayer I would never pick one up.

I swear i seen pros use the bolt shot on plaza. Especially when supporting a team member.
I also seen pros use the supressor on collesium. Maybe not actually... yeah

The Boltshot is decent enough. The Suppressor is kind of ass though.

the one with tracking shots, i think open hand or closed fist or something.....destroys in warzone.
take a few shots disappear around a corner and watch the kill icon pop

I'd be all for increasing the behind the scenes skill based mm for Warzone. The games that are close are great fun...steamrolling or getting steamrolled isn't fun in any mode to me. I have no interest in playing against a group that has a 99% win ratio.

never understood the point of farming.
most of the unlocks are cosmetic. so your purposefully not playing the game because.....you want a chance at a new helmet?

^Doesn't play warzone.
^Dont take his advice.
I'll have you know ive played dozens of Warzone. Dozens!
For the same reason people will pay real hard earned cash, they want to unlock stuff faster than regular play allows. Whether it be to finish their collection, get their most wanted helmet or whatever. Farming happens in pretty much any game with even the slightest loot element.

hehe, dozens.gif missing tho.
Especially funny when the game actually includes Farming to Farm loot...... ahem

Thank you, that is very helpful.
Arena bundle should only include cosmetic items though afaik, doesn't sound that good to me
even if it would be great to stop pulling emblems and armors in Gold packs
edit: more than 6 days of playtime, do they deserve more money? mmm

anyway to track how much longer it will take me to complete bronze req packs?
its driving me crazy. ended up selling evrything and still nothing...

Only real way is to look at how many common armour/helmets you've got left and work a rough estimate out. If you're having little luck with Bronze packs, it might be worth upping to Silvers, it works out near the same.

Halo 5: Guardians |OT4| Probably Sacrificing Resolution For Logic Cycles
Halo 5: Guardians |OT4| [relevant incoming update]: Farther Than You Want It To Be, Not As Far As It Could Be
Speaking of, Tanaka has some really well-delivered lines in the campaign. The latter would have fallen straight into narm territory if it were done Bungie-era in Reach or something.

2 games in a row of 3v4. Then a loss to a team of onyx and plats. Then another terrible game that I finally quit out of. Immediately banned. GG 343. Perhaps doge would like to give me some more brilliant advice.
why are you talking about OT4 already?
20,000 posts per thread roughly. 200 Pages if you're a true MLG pro. 400 pages if you're a nublet

Make that another 3v4. Maybe my "team" can help me.

True but pre shooting with the suppressor is is a good idea and like I said its better to use when you don't have the attention drawn towards you. It's even better just to keep shooting until the kill.
It's not the best I know but it's tracking will help with team fights for either the assist or clean up the kills.
I like using those weapons because I can always exceed expectations rather than feeling bad when I do crap with some power weapons.

Isn't it 15,000 posts the limit for an OT tho?
Edit: Braxzyy dropping knowledge bombs
I jumped to silvers because I finished bronze. It seems to have paid off... I still don't have the missing commons, but I'm successfully progressing towards gold.
Preshooting is just as effective with any other automatic weapon IMO and I don't have to waste half a clip before my gun becomes a threat. I can't say the Suppressor is. useless, it obviously can do damage to those shot by it... It just doesn't have any features that would entice me to drop what I already spawn with.

I can honestly understand that. Though I do believe if they buff those weapons they will become op instantly. Though storm rifle is god like in the right hands. But can't tell what is better smg or storm.

SMG. I feel like you can't miss any shots with the SR or else it overheats.
Truthfully, honestly, I'd reconsider lol.On the other hand, got my new card. What do you think guys?
See 343, we support you everywhere, throw us something here. Some code or whatever Frankie

The SMG reminds me of a hundred little piranas eating your sheild. It devours sheilds for breakfast.
I couldn't find a specific list anyone has put together, and the Wiki's don't have a list of all the updates to click through which is odd, you have to manually search each. Best bet in general is usually to go on Halo Waypoint and look through the News section in Community.
All three updates so far on the Halo Wiki in order of release:
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Shadow_and_Light
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Cartographer's_Gift

They need to make a Storm Rifle req call in! Make it five req points and it doesn't overheat!

It's very important. Being able to predict where the enemy will spawn will allow you to set up map control better and not be caught off guard. Based on where your teammates are on the map you can figure it out pretty easy.
When a player plays much better than the others (me included) in Arena I usually sent him a good message.
When someone quits I send a bad one though :3
It's pretty important, you can make or break a play by manipulating where the enemy spawns. A good idea is to hop into Forge and just fly around the maps, get a feel for where the spawn points are.

I looked at Halo twitter handle:
11-18-15
12-16-15
1-26-16
I thought we got more than just 3 updates for some reason.
Alright I'll set this up then. Were not even 100% on callouts yet I think they're trying to ball before we can crawl sort of thing. I've been playing since October and they should pass my skill level soon : (
shhhh they won't know
Yeah, I wouldn't buff anything persay, just change their functionality to be more useful, and bump them up to tier 2 if need be. My other issue is that as it stands, these weapons don't have the creative charm of the others.
Boltshot should be dual function like it had been before. Maybe even with smart-link it could have three functions. Hold trigger for close-quarters one hit kill. Shoot normally and it's a semi-automatic. Then use smart-scope for the burst fire homing projectiles.
I don't know how I'd tweak the suppressor to make it more viable in the sand box
Storm rifle is OP. Kills in .96s. Needs a nerf. I'd make it so it overcharges quicker. SMG kills in 1.0s
Start with callouts and work up. If you're somewhere on the map and you can't instantly think what it's called, quickly check the bottom left corner of the screen. Or look around in customs. Watching pro players too can help because they sometimes coin callouts that aren't in the game itself.
