"Across the board, every single map with Flag has the respawn zones flipped."

Seems a pretty simple fix though.

How on earth does that make it live?

 

[Haruko]

Yeah.

Until then, it's CTF Hard Mode: Scare your opponents into retreating but don't kill them, or else they'll spawn in your base!

If I had to guess, it's because Spawn Zones use exclusivity to designate team spawns, rather than inclusivity. Their extended options allow you to choose a team for each spawn zone, but this allows everyone but the selected team to spawn in the area. For example, if an area is labeled Team 1 (Defender), every other team can spawn there - Team 2 (Attacker), Orange Team, Cyan Team, etc.

Presumably whoever was responsible for replacing the spawn zones just didn't read over the flavor text properly, though it's still kind of an odd distinction to make as opposed to making it inclusivity-based.

The question is really more about QA than about how the mistake was made...

[belushy]

Yeah that is definitely a QA issue

 

[Madness]

Yeah.

Seems it's only Coliseum. Fathom and others tested seem to be okay.

 

[Glass]

Awesome. Havn't tried it yet, but it's definitely my favourite looking Arena map.

 

[Ramirez]

Seems it's only Coliseum. Fathom and others tested seem to be okay.

Yea I just played Fathom & Truth CTF and didn't see it happen.

 

[Feel the Swift]

can someone explain this?

 

[Glass]

Pretty sure I've found a bug with theatre mode and machinima controls, moving the camera in freecam moves extremely slowly, you might even think it's stuck it moves so slow.

Edit: Think I got it stuck like that somehow, restarting the game fixed it.

 

[IHaveIce]

"Across the board, every single map with Flag has the respawn zones flipped."

this can't be real.

 

[JackHerer]

can someone explain this?

Seems to be an Easter egg on Riptide.

 

[mo60]

I did not really care about the slide boost being removed. I do think one issue with the slide boost was that it could be used to break out of some breakout maps if I recall.I would love it if it came back, but I don't think it's a big deal.

 

[Ramirez]

can someone explain this?

Outside of Riptide I'm assuming.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Outside of Riptide I'm assuming.

That's crazy if you're able to forge outside of it

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yeah, it's outside of Riptide. There's also a space whale that occasionally breaches the surface.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I feel Overgrowth can be a better map if we didn't have shotgun and sword, a game can turn one sided easily against a decent team controlling both.

I like the layout of Overgrowth with all of the cutoffs, but having sword AND shotgun is what ruins it. I think sword needs to be removed permanently from the map.

And they removed shotgun but not sword lol. I did kill someone charging me with the sword with the storm rifle this morning on a different map. No idea what he was thinking lol.

I haven't played a match on overgrowth in weeks. I'm not joking about this.I usually play around an hour or two per day on the weekend of team slayer in arena and I have never played a match on that map since early January.The RNG gods must like me a lot.

Thats funny because it might have literally been the first time I played on it too.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Any good summaries out there of the changes/updates that have to Halo 5?

I know there's a new Arena and Warzone map, plus some armor, but anything else? After seeing how great some Forge maps out there are, I really wouldn't mind seeing more in MM at all.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

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.

Ah damn.... coulda sworn it was a Grunt. Aw well lol.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Yeah you can, i think we have a forge map in rotation right now that was made outside of Empire.

[IHaveIce]

woaaah Shotgun is gone but Sword is still there on Overgrowth? But it has to be the other way around..

 

[Ramirez]

Camo/Shotgun was a much bigger problem than the sword, IMO. Especially since one team basically got it uncontested at the beginning of every match, heh.

 

[Glass]

Which part of the map do you break out from?

 

[E92 M3]

Camo/Shotgun was a much bigger problem than the sword, IMO. Especially since one team basically got it uncontested at the beginning of every match, heh.

When I complain, it's mostly from a slayer perspective and FFA. The net damage of sword is much higher, in my opinion.

 

[blamite]

Wow, the lack of aim assist on the H2BR is really noticeable.

 

[belushy]

I just spawned a teleporter and then moved it safely out of the map with phased physics.

Camo/Shotgun in FFA is insanely strong.

 

[Granadier]

Slide thing, from what I understand, had some game-breaking properties that are not related to it simply being an "advanced technique."

Watching gameplay of these two tricks I can see how this could cause some game-breaking issues. The boost+crouch combo seriously messes up the player momentum.

That said, it would be nice if they could be brought back in as official tricks since they do add some good variety to the sandbox.

 

[jfoul]

I really like noctis assault.

Music to my ears.

Hope to see some of you in a Warzone dong squad.

I need greenlight for REQ pack buying

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I remember trying for the longest time to get a double kill from the grave in halo 3. For some reason I could never pull it off.

It's only a matter of time until those conversations start happening, along with H2 BR starts.

I imagine when the CE Pistol drops the same discussions will occur.

The only thing that could counter a maniac running around with sword lol

BXR and RRX are possible with the Halo 2BR... so you patch slide boost but put this back in

 

[RedSparrows]

Edit: Think I got it stuck like that somehow, restarting the game fixed it.

That happened to me in Forge, I think. A quick quit and back into the map (not even a reload of the game) fixed it. Might be a different bug though, given monitor vs geometry clipping.
