Yup yup. Plus actually watching Halo.

How many hours till the NA finals start today? For babby EU folk like me?

According to op_ivy screen above its 10pm for us tonight and 7pm for us tomorrow

 

[Ramirez]

Think we will get Achilles before Division release? I'm not getting it personally but I think we might need a few pushes before everyone stops playing Halo...

It'll be close, but ultimately, assassinations and SC's will be lacking I'm sure.

I'm getting The Division, but I'm not stopping Halo either.

 

[jem0208]

Wait, why is the Division going to steal Halo players? It's a fun game but they scratch very different itches.

I could definitely see Destiny's population dropping though.

Yeah i also dont see The Division pulling too many from Halo... but LOADS from Destiny. I think it will take a large chunk of the population for a few months.

They better put some weekend playlist. That isn't too difficult.. Plz

social CTF is up, is that not the weekend playlist?

 

[Akai__]

Social CTF is already up.

And no tweet from 343i? Nice!

So it's regular CTF on the normal maps, just unranked?

Guess I picked a good weekend not to be home.

It's 5vs5 and a full weak appareantly.

Nothing is really unranked in Halo 5. The MMR will match you at your skill level. I linked somebody that was Valentines Double Champion 1 like last week.

 

[Glass]

I want to see 343 make a HCS hype video with the storylines of the series intertwined with epic plays, to the OST's 'Crypt' , holy shit it's so good.

d-d-double post

Based on feedback, a new permanent social playlist w/ rotating gametypes is now available. Jump into Social CTF now!

[backflip10019]

Oh shit, permanent social playlist.

 

[G-DannY]

Social?

ah ok, with hidden MMR and without party restrictions of course!

 

[singhr1]

5v5 again...

 

[The Real Napsta]

5v5 again...

Yeah, please try 4v4 social 343

 

[G-DannY]

LoL.

First game, clearly full team vs randoms. Lost 3vs1. Had 2 quitters in my team during game.

Also 1sk from magnums due to enemies lagging.

Good jobs 343i

 

[sir_dany12]

The definition of Social is 5v5
4V4 is too competitive

It's a disaster on these small maps.

 

[Warxard]

Should be 6v6

Prepping for Fiesta I bet

 

[op_ivy]

5v5? oh well, better then nothing.


please do 4v4 in the future.

 

[Ashes2Bashers]

5 v5 ? No thanks..

 

[G-DannY]

Second game: lost 3-0.

LOLyeah, sooo social...

let see how many lost game in a streak this playlist can achieve.

 

[Welfare]

Squad Slayer was the bee's knees, and 5v5 objective is better for social than 4v4.

Not on these tiny maps. It's grenade hell.

 

[G-DannY]

3 lost in a row...

Cannot stand this shit anymore

 

[G-DannY]

4th.

ok, I think it's enough.

Ciao Halo.

 

[The Jackdog]

Last night halo was top 7 game played, ahead of rocket league.

i was surprised and happy to see it.

fine with 5v5 in social. i expect social to be a little more crazy

 

[Ramirez]

Holy shit, G-Danny, quit whining.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

We don't need a journal of every loss man, hold your own Ls.

 

[Glass]

If anyone needs to kill time before regionals, Goldenboy is periscoping with GH057ayame atm.... I think. I can never tell when Periscope is live or replaying https://www.periscope.tv/w/1ZkJzzqpbEvJv

I think Halo 5 hit around 60k in it's peak times which is not bad..If this game would have some cooperative modes and better maps(not like shitgrowth and dull btb maps) , 100k peak wouldn't be a surpise..

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Last friday we got the Hammer Storm REQ teaser, so today we are going to get the full REQ reveal right?

 

[G-DannY]

Holy shit, G-Danny, quit whining.

It's just something more then a whine. It's more a RANT.

Really upset for personal things today, wanna have some fun playing halo.

5th lost in a row in a social playlist (supposed to be fun, somehow balanced and relaxed) no matter how good I play.

I'm simply sayning that there is something screwed. And I'm a bit full of today.

I've been hyped for a trailer release all day. 343 better not let me down D:

 

[BraXzy]

Yesss nice, it's about time we got a permanent one. Rotating isn't perfect but I guess it's best compromise.

5v5 again...

Noooo. At least you don't have to stop someone if you have an extra player but ugh. The game just doesn't play as will with the extra two people.

We don't need a journal of every loss man, hold your own Ls.

Woah now, take all those L's back to the Yeezy thread!

 

[AlStrong]

The real lesson to be learned from Halo 5's campaign is that next gen controllers need to have more buttons.

Crazy talk! Next it'll be a mouse to go along with that keyboard.

 

[Leyasu]

Totally agree. I can see me co-oping this with friends.

Yeah, please try 4v4 social 343

5v5 clusterfuck. Damn 343

 

[G-DannY]

only thing nice is that someway managed to pull of some nice moves.

Halo in Italian is awesome.

I have to make a video with the information that 343 gave us last week but I have a feeling that today they are going to reveal more so I'm waiting to see if that's the case

 

[Fuchsdh]

Yeah i also dont see The Division pulling too many from Halo... but LOADS from Destiny. I think it will take a large chunk of the population for a few months.

I dunno, I've been impressed by how effective Destiny has kept its hooks in peeps. The lack of new content seems like what's pushing the most people away from it more than anything else.

learn how to lose, you'll feel (and play) better.

Don't be a ronda rousey!

 

[Velcoro]

What time is the first game 6pm est?

Can you please tell me what time is that on CST?

 

[jem0208]

Social CTF is fun.

I just sprint around killing everyone though, who cares if you lose.

 

[Velcoro]

4pm I think

 

[G-DannY]

My problem isn't that I don't know how to lose. Said many times, I'm a pretty average or less player. So I have habit.

Is that since a month or so this game decided that I have (queueing solo, but I do that since launch) to lose 80% of my games and win only 20% (or even less). In every. fucking. playlist. Arena or Warzone.

Good matchmaking should see around 50% win/loss ratio.

I was hovering around 50%, now I'm dropping quickly to 40%, and I foresee a trend going even lower.

It couldn't be ONLY me. That's it.

Hope we get some stills of the new map, Torque.
