Yes, it's on PC.

So the way it goes, is your first quitting/griefing offense you are excused. Do it again within a week and you get a 30 minute cool down. Do it again within another 7 days, you get a 2 hour cool down. Do it again in another 7 days, you get a 48 hour cool down. Do it again in another 7 days, you get a 7 day ban.

You must wait a full 7 days without infractions to be lowered in the "punishment tier."

I rarely see people quit during CSGO matches. It also helps that when you disconnect, the main menu prompts you to reconnect or abandon the match.

That sounds great, but how does the quitting system tell if I Got disconnected or I really did quit? and something more than 24 hours hour ban I don't see that happening on any console MP, the more time out you give to someone, the more chances you are giving them to move to a different game.

how is that possibly ruining a competitive game? Even if Halo 5 isn't what I want it to be, it's still a highly competitive experience in Arena/Slayer/Breakout. A lot of the fun is in trying to win. Quitters ruin the game in an instant.

He was making a joke, P.C. culture as in Political Correctness

 

[Feel the Swift]

I haven't used it, but based on the trailer it looks like it feels very similar to the CE Magnum.

What makes you say that? It's called the H2 BR.

 

[Tawpgun]

Isn't Jem supposed to slobber 343 D?

You must have really made him mad.

Riptide surprisingly feels like the beach.

Suprised the pickup was literally called the Halo 2 Battle Rifle

 

[Nowise10]

I love tiny easter eggs like this on maps. Wish they did more in multiplayer and the campaign

 

[Leyasu]

Shotgun was replaced by Carbine on Overgrown. Don't agree with this decision because Sword will now go unchallenged. The sword was the main issue on the map.

Lol coco the clown making the decisions confirmed. The sword should have gone.

 

[Glass]

They should add the cooler new forge pieces like the diving suit on the update graphics sheet they make for the updates, thats going to be the most exciting part of the patch for a lot of people. And it looks like even more stuff gets added each time.

Anyone tried buying REQs yet?

It does not distinguish whether it was a disconnect or intentional disconnect and that is a good thing. It allows you 3 minutes to reconnect immediately after disconnecting.

So in most cases if someone disconnects, you have ample time to reconnect.

 

[Blue Ninja]

The classic scope of the Halo 2 BR looks amazing. I'll probably use this all the time in Warzone now. Shoots and feels just as good as ever.

Riptide also is very well done. Can't wait to see how it will play, but so far so good. Definitely doesn't feel/look like a Fathom remix.

It's a Legendary REQ, though. Is it one-time use or a permanent unlock?

Also, re: slide boost etc

https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comme...ians_infinitys_armory_is_out_now_33gb/czcrrxh

"Will there be an option to turn slide boost back on for customs? Really hate to see it go."

This is something I can certainly inquire about if there's demand, which based on an early scan of this here thread seems there may just be. Lemme know

Lol first person to get sword on FFA wins - especially at the higher levels. Normally, I'd get the shotgun to counter the sword guy.

Yup.

 

[Madness]

Loadout permanent weapon, meaning you can use it like you would the Sentinel, Longshot, Classic Scope BR. It's a mythic though so it'll be a while before I probably get it.

That's the grunt that's underwater in Fathom when you fall through next to invisibility!

Did you already collect it?

 

[link1201]

If you downloaded the 3.3gb update, I don't see why they wouldn't be?

BTB is showing as ranked again? lol

Still showing up as ranked? Imo, they might as well have kept it ranked if they are still mm with rank in mind.

 

[Madness]

Did you already collect it?

Haha, no, I went into Riptide just to screw around, get a feel for the map, picked it up. I don't think the REQ's are live yet. So you should hold off on buying packs.

I still haven't gotten a single DMR. I doubt I'll get the mythic Halo 2 BR anytime soon.

 

[Nowise10]

I actually was in theater last night on Fathom and went to that easter egg, and it turns out is it actually a person in the Hazard Suit, not a grunt.

 

[BraXzy]

Update: 3,3 GB.

Tashi

Thx.

WHAT!

I go and play SOMA for an hour and the update drops out of nowhere?!

Two pages since I last looked... shiiiiiiiit! WHATS THE GOOD WORD?!

 

[Triscuitable]

That sounds great, but how does the quitting system tell if I Got disconnected or I really did quit?

It doesn't; that's why it offers a chance to reconnect or abandon the match. I feel that system should've been in Halo 5 from day one if 343i was going with the "punish the quitters" option.

That, or social playlists with JIP. C'mon, guys, all I want is some social slayer and CTF, and I'll be happy! Unranked, so I can play with my friends without worrying about them getting stomped 100% of the time (they're awful at this game).

and something more than 24 hours hour ban I don't see that happening on any console MP, the more time out you give to someone, the more chances you are giving them to move to a different game.

This is par for the course for MOBAs and competitive shooters, actually. If a person is a rampant quitter, they've probably moved onto other games, anyway. But really, League of Legends and Dota 2 on PC, plus Smite and Rainbow Six: Siege on console all do this.

Two more medals and we get another community req pack for completing the 3rd level!

Kicking it Old School Kicking it Old School

Level 3/5

Earn the BXR, Noob Combo, or Nadeshot medals

 

[BraXzy]

- Fixed “fast fall” and “slide boost” exploits

For fuck's sakes

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

THAT's AMAZING!

I'm about to head out, will have to check out the update when I'm back. Riptide looking good folks?

 

[Ramirez]

Riptide looks great visually.

 

[E92 M3]

I love using the noob combo lol.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Even in the face of destruction by the Created, the folks at Riptide station found a silver lining.

 

[Bread]

Are the new reqs up yet?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Are the new reqs up yet?

No. I think I saw Bravo tweeting it'd be another three hours.

I just got a company commendation pack, holding off on opening it.

 

[Bread]

No. I think I saw Bravo tweeting it'd be another three hours.

Alright thanks. More time to save up req points I guess!

 

[Ramirez]

We also progressed a SC rank, what a day!

 

[Hypertrooper]

Anyone up for some matchmaking?

 

[Fata1moose]

Riptide looks great visually.

I don't like that it's asymmetric, only because that has been a weak point in Halo 5 in terms of design. Plaza, The Rig and Overgrowth are my least favorite maps. Hopefully it ends up playing well, hard to say as I just went around in a custom game.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Woke up at 4am today and couldn't sleep, so naturally I played some Halo. I'm going to have a horrible K/D ratio forever. For every good game I have 5 bad games it seems. I tried free for all and was getting brutalized. But I did get my very first assassination. And of course it was an accident... Very glad to hear about the color change for blue team. Several games this morning I was noting how much more difficult it was to see the blue team.

 

[Digital Limit]

Asymmetric is a goddamn feature. I love The Rig! It's not a king-of-the-hill slayer map, that's all I'm ever worried about.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Shotgun was replaced by Carbine on Overgrown. Don't agree with this decision because Sword will now go unchallenged. The sword was the main issue on the map.

They should replace the Sword with

Spoiler

The Plasma Caster

Dat scope.

And it feels very similar to the BR from Halo 2. Sound, aiming, animations, everything. Like an actual gun.

Oh my! *Gasp

 

[E92 M3]

That would actually be dangerous, yet balanced with all of the hallways.

 

[NobleGundam]

Sacellum

Its a Shrine (sanctuary) Remake.

Whoa bro your remake is light years better than the others I've played without a doubt. Very impressed with the Breakout pieces you've used to really get a futuristic theme to Sanc and even added a brick to clamber up to ring 3.

 

[BraXzy]

Interesting that the updates are never dated and hyped for a specific time. Are we getting them the second they're ready to ship?

They drop outta nowhere.

They somehow managed to fuck up the spawns on Coliseum Flag lmao

Yikes, that's pretty bad. Coliseum CTF is the best CTF, too. Hoping it's fixed quickly.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

>=D , how about 2 plasma casters and scatter shots?!

MUAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA!

 

[Stinkles]

That's just bullshit logic.

H2's button combos massively added to the game and they were glitches.

It was no more game breaking than something like sprint.

Not talking about skill, flow, fairness etc. Talking about connected bugs, geometry, etc.

 

[User 73706]

I actually suggested they replace Sword and Camo with Plasmacaster and Damage Boost not too long after Overgrowth came out.

Frankiiiiiiiieeee go to their office and tell them how unhappy we are.

Please?

Moa: "Loading into Forge, it looks like the Spawn volume in each base on Coliseum is set to the wrong team.

Going to change the team tags now and see if it fixes the issue."

EDIT:
"Changing the spawn zone didn't fix it.

Maybe I'm missing a dodgy spawn zone, though."

 

[JackHerer]

Pretty salty about the removal of slide boost. That's BS.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Well well well. Look what we have here. A suggestion that is superb. Damage boost with plasma caster = fun. so much fun.

Just got done with my workout and I'm rewarded with the monthly update.

YES!

EDIT: I was at 80% collection completion for helmet & armor. Now I need to farm more REQ points. Need everything!

Eep
