Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped

Deadly Cyclone

I have been feeling a delay in my sticks and I can't tell if that is how the game is or a controller thing. I can hit all the way left (so the stick hits the casing) and I can do it before my Spartan moves his aiming reticle on screen.

Anyone else have that?

I think it will be Win 10 related, since the event is in 2 days. Halo Wars 2?

Edit: Wait... It's on the 25th, which is in 2 days.

Same. I was grinding for the last couple weekends and got over 200k. Really excited for the update to drop and just open a shitload of packs.

I just don't think that should be a worry. You can literally queue up Warzone in seconds, whereas setting up customs games takes a lot of time (in my experience).

Yeah, I really don't see that much harm coming from allowing people to test the weapons in customs. I agree the effort it takes to set up a full group for customs offsets that risk and the game would benefit from having more options.

Would love to see some of these crazy reqs as power weapon on maps. Also a fiesta style game type where you spawn with a random req and as the match progresses the REQ level raises for everyone and you start getting higher tier weapons when you spawn. At the end you'd start getting stuff like Nornfang, Heartseeker, etc. Could be cool.

I wonder if you can create ball game types where multiple balls spawn, maybe multiple goals for Ricochet style games.

Statistically there is bound to be a period where I just lose a huge amount of games?

If you predicate your logic on a ~50% win rate, then yes.

If you flip a coin a bunch of times, you get all kinds of streaks and patterns.

Man, I swear more people *NEED* to read Innumeracy by John Allen Paulos. If more people had a good grasp on the likelihood of "unlikely" events, we'd be better off.

EDIT: Brings to mind a line from one of my favorite movies "Moneyball". Goes something like "You could play this season over again forever and never get that same 20 game streak." There are tons of ways to get the same win record for the A's at the end of the season, and a streak only stands out because we put emphasis on the smaller picture instead of the full record. Same in your case. There are billions of win/loss combinations and streaks that will get you that same record. That same streak and win/loss for any 20 game set is just as likely as any other. Just like a Royal Flush is just as likely as getting a 3, 8, 10, J, K of non-matching suits. We just put emphasis on that one hand.

I'm reading Coincidence Authority, does it count?

Waiting for the coin to flip on the blue side then!

Haven't read it. I just recommend Innumeracy all the time because it's a classic and always applicable. And it's not a novel like CA, but rather a conversation with the reader and a discussion of maths and stats and odds, etc as they apply to your everyday experience.

I'd love to see something like that be included as a Fiesta variant, but for sure would not be seen in a playlist. Sounds a lot more fun than normal Warzone to me lol

I've been playing lag free on both XB1 and PS4 but Halo 5 STILL lags out on me regularly. I've barely touched the game since launch waiting for a fix but it seems like I'm the only one having issues. Tried wired/wireless, uninstall/reinstall, nothing works. Hopped on yesterday and the first match I'm teleporting. i have TWC if that matters.

Excellent way to end a very rewarding evening of Halo 5. Got some awesome certifications from my Warzone weeklies, got some MORE rare certifications for a host of commendation silvers I got tonight.

On top of the Hammer Storm update with is falling soon and a fresh-looking next update, I'd say I'm all good.

I shouldn't have opened my Arena packs yet. -_- Two ultra rares, but the rest were all uncommon or rare.

It's so hard to resist opening those things though. ;_;

This MM sometimes lol. I feel bad for the Gold player, he was pretty much the reason why they lost. It's not his fault for being shoved into a game like this.
Click to expand...

He could've been partied up with one of the others? This is what always happened when I partied up with my gold friend around launch. He stopped playing tho lol

I guess it's just tough to matchmake parties with ranks that different.

Every time you go to your REQs they are just sitting there all shiny looking, begging to be opened :3

I'm gonna try and hold out till the update drops.. But I guess then I've got all the silvers to redo. Bah.

I'm regretting this decision as well. I'll probably just dump all 70k of my banked REQ points into golds when this drops and hope I get lucky. I need that CE Pistol >.>

Interesting that there's a "medium" surprise on the same day there's supposed to be another Killer Instinct teaser. Hopefully that wasn't hat Frankie was referring to.

I can't remember the wording from the stream, did they specifically say that tomorrow's thing was about Halo 5?

The big "2" next to the RP counter is just too much, I could almost ignore them if not for that. ;_;

Only have 40k atm, spent over 100k the week before trying to get Phaetons for my commendation. I don't feel like playing that much until the drop. So I'll probably just end up buying gold packs and not worrying about it.

Like flipping a quarter:

Heads, Tails, Heads, Tails, Tails, Heads.
Heads, Heads, Heads, Heads, Heads, Heads.

Both are just as likely.

Why the fuck can people just camp the garage vehicle spawns and hijack them immediately while you are still waiting to be able to move. Fuckkk

Well something is about Halo 5, that's why they cut the update trailer short.



New armors are pretty bad this month, that's okay though as the Arena map looks great and the CE pistol...

Oh yeah huh!! Well i wonder when the trailer will drop.

Something that big prop wont happen until a e3 type of stage or something. Maybe the hcs commercial breaks in march when it conducts the world tourny.
