Well, then they're just idiots I guess?
And I somehow assumed the CE pistol would be a loadout weapon, kinda disappointed it isn't. :lol
Apologies my mistake, it didn't appear in any of the games we played yesterday, and it was described as being introduced in capture the flag\assault game modes:

I like how we're getting two glassed planet updates in a row with Meridian and Reach. 
What REQ Level is it?

I've had a genius idea for a gametype sitting at work today - anyone near there Xbone and can tell the ball options available in custom games? Thanks in advance!
Yeah I have it booted up right now:
as well as Ball Carrier traits which you can set if they can use thruster, clamber, and all that kinda stuff. Plus Ball throwing toggle.
Damn. That's rather high and at that point, you have access to most of the other Power Weapons.

I was hoping it would be a load-out weapon. I only have 4, and I'm scared to use it.

It's a bit too much OP to be a loadout weapon.
From my point of view, neither H2BR should be loadout.
RedSparrows
Member
Pistol as a loudout would be an OP step too far.

If the weapon wasn't hit scan it could have been a loadout. Though, people would have been like, "Why isn't this a 3sk!?"

Is there a comprehensive or near-comprehensive list of the pro's sens, accel and deadzone settings? I'd be interested to see the trends. I did see Roy's and Naded's posted a few days ago.
Wouldn't taking out betrayal booting in grifball open up doors for people to just go in and troll and kill teammates on purpose? Yea accidents happen and it's not working out atm but that just sounds like a bad idea too to me...
Whatever tho I'm just a scrub that thinks friendly fire doesn't belong in social playlists so don't mind me.

FUCK YOU FATS
Sorry, there can be no video evidence of my team nading skills.
It is hilarious how out of place the CE pistol is aesthetically. It's probably the most faithful recreation of any weapon ever in Halo but it still looks wrong to me, like they stuck in a low-poly model just because everything else is so crazy detailed these days. Not sure they could have threaded the balance without ruining the whole point, though.

They purposely made it like that. Like it was taken right out of CE.

Majority are 4 sens and 3 acceleration. Some will have 4 sens and 2 acceleration.
You'll also have the occasional 3 sens 4 acceleration.
As far as deadzones are concerned, they should be 0 unless there are problems with your controller then you adjust accordingly.
By problems I mean drift and slow turn. If your controller does not have either, your deadzones should be 0.
At the end of the day this is all depends what you are comfortable with.

So, do Grifball kills/medals count towards spartan company commendations?
Welfare

If they count towards regular commendations, I don't see why they wouldn't count for the SC.

Just wanted to let you know, I got 2 spartan charges yesterday.
Don't ever say I didn't do anything, or I'll cut you (out of the company).

Halo took the number 6 spot last night on most played games.
ahead of ark, seige, rocket leauge, battlefront. some heavy hitters.

It also depends on the way you play and the stick configuration (if you have the Elite).
I mean, with longer RS, is also possibile a slight higher sensitivity, due to the longer lever.

Where do you look to see this? I apologize if the question has been asked already.

Removing friendly fire from grifball changes how it plays so I'd prefer if they didn't do that.

As far as pros are concerned, they use the default sticks. The only person to use longer sticks was Flamesword and that was in Halo 3 or reach.
This information comes from Towey.

if you go to the store and hit browse games, the "most played games" is a live list.

Ahh, okay. For some reason I was thinking you were talking about a different set of leaderboard. I remember when Major Nelson use to post top xbox live games activity with player numbers I think. For some reason thought you were talking about something along the lines of that.

I know. Doesn't mean it doesn't look weird. (Also makes me wonder why they decided to do the MkV Alpha instead of a super-faithful MkV incarnation as well.)
The Jackdog

the only reason he doesnt do that list anymore is cause of this one, since its updated real time
