I hate to admit it but in playlists where we basically never find a match you can count on us making the game take awhile. If there's quitters then we'll end it early but near/full enemy teams = long games. BTB we might be lucky to find 1 game a night. We want 12 minutes.
EDIT: Social CTF & Assault have been finding fast good connection games consistently solo or 3-5 parties. Good times.

Speaking on that, I wouldn't mind a "Slayer Unlimited" Warzone gametype that serves as just a lobby to jump in to just shoot things for a while, then back out when you're done (Halo PC had these kind of lobbies; it was fun). That way you don't have to worry about dragging your team down if you're casually playing, and as a team you can get your fix of slay slay slay the night away without interruptions.
As much as I disliked how jarring it was going from seeing say a Gears Ultimate campaign at 30fps and then silky smooth 60fps multiplayer. I think going forward, having locked 30fps for Halo 6 campaign could be a good compromise especially as the expectation for greater visual fidelity over Halo 5 will be big. I can only imagine how much better Sanghelios and the Domain would have looked if locked 60fps and dynamic resolution weren't a requirement. I mean I notice 60 fps like crazy for multiplayer but campaign wise, sort of a one and done, barring intel/skull coop playthroughs,locked 30fps could be fine from my end.
I mean even resolution doesn't really bother me too much either. Halo 3 was like 640p and 25fps at times.
Still no luck getting into arena or warzone games after this patch, been tinkering around with my router settings with recommendations from many sources and no luck. Lots of players have the same issue, I just hope with every content release and patch they enable me to play Halo 5 online.
Got super excited then, I need some sliver of info about Halo Wars 2 right nao.

Bought a 25 dollar Xbox card but forgot I need more for the Arena REQ bundle. I'll probably just redeem this and then buy silver packs for cash so I can start unlocking the good stuff and hopefully get my crossed swords. Look how happy Lethul was for the cowboy cat, I feel the same way regarding the crossed swords, but it sucks no way to put the shield I had behind them.
I wonder if 343 will ever tell us if the REQ system has been more profitable for them over Map packs and season passes. I think once I finish silver, I'll get the Arena REQ bundle but not open until I have a lot of crap I don't want already out of the way.

That is a NeoGAF skin and even a lot of users from Reddit Halo say the same that this is a NeoGAF skin
Edit: OH I GET IT NOW, the Poncho is for Halo 6 right?
HUNT the TRUTH!
I'm going to be honest Playing at onyx 1700 all day without a squad is annoying as hell Sometimes it's fun to just relax and play the game. Sometimes that involves trouncing an entire team of unskilled players. It's not Malicious or anything it just ends up like that sometimes.
Are we supposed to only play with people in our bracket all day? No, I like social it's not my fault half the people can't play it it.

Just logged on this week after awhile being off. As much as I've given you guys over the years that tribute is one of the classiest, touching things I have ever seen in gaming. I'd have to kill myself if that happened to me. Well done to you guys.

And well I don't know maybe it's not for a mission but it's more about how he feels after what happened with Cortana.
Haha was about to post too.
ALso just came back from being down 4-0 with 4 minutes left in grifball.

At the start of the match as we were all going to pick up the first ball I was smart-scoping the whole way, and as I lunged towards the other team one of my guys....ran in front of me

I usually make 3 or 4 charges per match, in my opinion they are very easy to do also
I use the Legendary armor mod increased strength which gives me more range and damage

Griffball giving access to lots and lots of 1hk SCs, I'd guess.
But I thought those don't count? I dropped 24 Spartan Charge kills in 1 game and my Commendation hasn't progressed.

There's a difference between dominating a team and sitting there in an objective gametype you could've ended 10 minutes ago, but you decide to farm kills on the poor suckers who end up soloing into a game with poor teammates. Have you never been in this situation, searching matchmaking solo and have terrible teammates, playing against a full team farming kills?
It sucks, and you can't quit because who knows if you'll get banned for X hours. And you make it seem like teams of 4 have it difficult in Halo 5 matchmaking lol..

That's true Griffball only works the Ground pound, melee kills and regular kills commendations

Yeah whenever I land one in grifball it gives a symbol for a regular melee in the kill feed so they prob dont

I've noticed I've been using SCs a lot more. Not sure what's gotten into me..
Ha maybe. I feel like I have no awareness in all of my games, especially spawn predictiions.
Woah, that is an awesome strat. Reminds me of the start of a Rocket League round.

I have no assassination clips so here ya go. Also I didn't realize how dirty hiding in the middle ramps of Apex's spire with the storm rifle can be. Gonna have to do that more often.

I'm struggling fam.
After a fairly small break I was having marginal issues landing shots. I switched up settings for the first time ever (default for life since CE) and settled with 4 send and 2 ACC. I was kicking ass and landing shots no prob, but it was warzone, so many of these engagements were a bit longer distances.
Two days later I'm trying out new modes and map and my new settings feel terrible. Perhaps my muscle memory reverted back to default settings without telling me, perhaps my new settings aren't great for closer range engagements. But now I'm stuck.
Do I just try to get more time in with the new settings and go through a potentially lengthy teething process? Do I go back to default, despite feeling like I may have hit a wall? Do I try yet another controller setting, and stick with it, thats somewhere in-between (3 send and 2 ACC perhaps)?

Have you tried playing H4 since playing H5? The aiming feels smoother, and I think it has to do with diagonals being slower in Halo 5 compared to previous games.
343 mentioned a while back that they plan to include different axes settings for aiming, so hopefully they'll drop that some day. Nothing has been said about the aiming since that update released though, so I'm not sure if it's still in the works.

I definitely think getting the feel for new maps and modes may throw you off a bit. Personally, I think 3 and 2 is just way to slow especially if you need to do quick turnarounds. Considering you were doing well on 4 and 2 I think you should just stick with that; it's what I play on.
Have you fixed your aiming yet?
I'm reminded of why I never fucked with settings before. Now I'm in this constant limbo of things feeling off. The more I dabble the harder it will be to go back to default - assuming I should go back. I suppose I can adjust to anything at least close to default given enough time with it. Just going to be frustrating for a bit. Wish I just pushed through what ever troubles I had without tweaking settings though.
