For me it's slayer followed by warzone assault followed by team arena. i really enjoy slayer. without good teammates ctf is a nightmare. Although I don't mind strongholds with randoms.

Yeah that's why I don't really play much TA. I love objective game modes, but playing them solo is ugh.

I can't wait to see tomorrows update lol.

If they gave me the same RP I get from WZ and WZA in Team Arena or Slayer, I would swallow my pride and deal with the shit rankings and quitters and play thousands of those matches. The grind has me until I get Mark IV and my crossed swords. The very limited time I have these days is only usually for warzone assault or a quick SWAT for daily win.

It'd be nice if they stopped adding common and uncommon reqs. From this point, it should just be rare and higher quality stuff
and the CEA Mark V helm :3
I'm thinking 3 variants of the grav hammer. Top one makes ground pound obscene

That would be extremely nice indeed. I don't know why they aren't more equal since a warzone assault game can often take far less time than a slayer game to finish.
I use warzone assault a lot of the time just to get warmed up

Warzone offers better RP because you spend Req Cards during the game, so they give you more points so you can have cards to use.
But arena could increase the RP earnings little bit.

Can someone please tell me what the oni gungoose is best used for?
The heavy/bouncy grenades aren't at good as the others when pit in the open so I'm thinking it could be used when storming a base or something as the grenades bounce around so much... But that's pretty limited imo.
Oni hog is such a beast, gungoose not so much.

I've used it for shelling the core area in Warzone Assault. Depending on the map, you can line it up can get a ricochet off the ceiling of the core room that bounces near the core. It'll do damage to the core if there's someone near it and it splashes to the core.

oooh that's scaryFinally got round to getting an in-game screenshot of the best customisation set up in the game

I really like the Hunter helmet but I hate how they gave it away as a pre-order deal. Completely ruined it for me.
Psshhh. Got myself a sweet legendary armor set, legendary red rampant visor, bloodthirst ultra rare BR. I actually don't see too many Locke. I've been using Noble armor and helm until I get Mark IV.
I think rarity levels are definitely also affecting what we pick. I see so many people say they use ugly armors or emblems solely because they're ultra rare or legendary or something.

New avi hype!
Were it so easy.
It's a shame but strangely you don't see that many out and about.
oooh that's scary
That's what my enemies say!
Till they see my missing shots.
More Promethean enemies in total across all maps? I genuinely don't know. I don't pay attention to AI much :3
The launch Warzone maps were 2:1 Promethean to Covenant base enemies is the only reason I can think of.

Also I think Promethean WZ bosses are more frequent than Covenant.

I got lucky and unlocked the Security helmet around ~SR50. I use a bronze-ish visor color to replicate that true Marathon look.

I got it from finishing halo 1,2,3 and 4 in the MCC on solo legendary. An even bigger grind but was fun before halo 5 came out and the hype train was at top speed.

wat
I just had a really satisfying game of plaza strongholds.
Mechanically, I was playing like shit. I didn't have time to do my WA warmup, so I jumped straight into arena and couldn't aim for shit.
Anyway, we started off getting dominated and quickly fell to 60-14. Then I stopped stressing over what I couldn't do (aim) and started focusing on what I COULD do; maintain solid positioning.
So I held down the soda/light rifle area, and was able to take pot shots at any stronghold at any time. I was also close enough to contest/reset any SH as needed. I had an SMG spawn near by in case a hater tried to get in my grill.
I racked up assists,secures, captures, and defense and landed at the top of the stat sheet, despite having the worst K/D and accuracy in the game. We won 100-70.
I love objective halo because anyone can contribute. Strongholds is an excellent addition to the fold. It may even be my favorite objective mode at this point.

I had it in the beta, but got a refund on MCC after that. I guess you have to actually own it and not just have the achievements, lol. Kinda bullshit, IMO.

never bothered to learn every single spawn in the campaign because i usually give up after dying to
fall damage
random warthog splatters
flood rockets
grenades bouncing back to me
fall damage
invisible elite backsmacks
ghost splatters
marines i somehow managed to betray
fall damage
i'll take the jackal snipers anyday
That's strange. If you put in a disc copy, would you get it back?
If you just want the armor, you can cheese many of the levels using speed-running tactics. Obviously there is still a bunch of fighting to do (like on The Library) but some levels have great spawn-skips that let you just walk through an empty level.
But really, fuck those rocket flood.

ugggh spawn skips feel dirty though. i mean i do it on Outskirts most of the time but that's because fighting on the rooftops is fun.

co-op's the only way i've beaten Combat Evolved, but lol at getting into a co-op lobby in MCC.
I don't know...I thought maybe they secretly made ODST a requirement for it, lol. Oh well, I'm not buying MCC again, I know that.

joining friends in MCC usually goes like this :
"are you in the lobby? no? i'm in. can you see me in the game? no? okay gotta crash the build."
(10 tries later)
"okay we're both in here, start it up before it kicks us again"
(someone gets kicked while it's loading)
"what do you mean you're not in the game? i see you in the lob---oh, there you go. welp gotta crash again."

MCC, the paradise of bugs.
Maybe it's better now?
I'm thinking on doing all campaings on legendary with a friend..
