I had plat rank players as my teammates and I also played against plat rank players before. I'm only a silver. I did win a match once against a team that had a plat player.
My only issue, and I could be wrong, is that there aren't many options in the bottom courtyard areas for each base unless the moving platforms are on their way up. Wish those were within reach to crouch clamber to when extended.
I mean what was the score? Is it happening every game?

I'm confused at how I suddenly started and keep getting Spnkr EM out of req packs. I clearly do not have the certification
I sure as hell am not complaining though!

343, please, if you're going to match parties together make sure they are at least somewhat of equal skill.
most of these guys are in Roy's SC, so I'm not surprised they wrecked me.

Random means random. Out of the entire Halo population, somebody's gonna repeatedly draw REQs for a rare cert they don't have.

Diamond 1 in slayer getting put against diamond 6,5s and onyxs.
I guess i should be flattered?

It's weird, that's the same exact weapon I've been getting tons of even without the certification. There's plenty of other rare weapons I haven't gotten once, but that one keeps coming up.
I'm big on tradition.
I'm not certain, but I suspect that you can spring jump to clamber up the Pistons. I do know that you can jump on top of the key pads outside of each base to clamber up.
Does that get you anywhere? I feel like that is just a massive area to avoid, there's not many movement options out of it. You can retreat to the base, clamber up the right, or push forward to bottom mid which only leads to the enemies courtyard. At the very least clambering to the left should be an option.

Any room left in the GAF company?

We got a Warzone party going?
I'd be interested to know this as well
A silly game that allows people to blow off steam.
Everything else in Halo is stressful.
Not close. Every 5 games?

I know grifball is social and all but man, it really shows how people don't get simpe strategy. if Im running right and have all the guys chasing me why can't somebody run over to the empty side so I can throw it over there and they can waltz in. its a simple screen pass yet there will always be 2-3 guys sitting back by the goal or also chasing me

People generally don't pass the ball, I've been at the scoring point numerous times while everyone chased ball carrier and I wouldn't get the pass.

Just had a 79 kill game in Grifball. Sure that's nothing compared to what some of you had probably wracked up. Wasn't really spawn camping or anything save for a few moments when it was a valid strategy. Was a blast though, and it does appear like there's a lot of new players online who don't seem to have the basics of Grifball down well although that could just be luck of the draw. Hoping this update brings some people back in. It really is a large amount of new content since launch so anyone who was a bit disappointed should give it another go.

This. Though, it'd be nice to have a little more variation in terms of visual theme, never do I go around a map while I'm playing it saying "Wow, I wish this was purple instead of white"
Warzone Assault is literally a conceptually easy game mode and I fail to understand how plenty of people still fail to act with the objective. All you have to do to win is stick to your teammates and rush the base. That's it. Not run around the garage doing nothing, but actually push the base. Apparently that's too difficult.
You are playing with kids or people who are high or both.

To be fair it is like saying arena is easy mode because in essence you just have to stick to your teammates and push at the objective or rotate around the map accordingly. In reality, things are not always that simple.
Not saying you say this, Just an example.
Obviously warzone assault has other variables in the mix like reqs.

I've probably played 10 matches on Recurve and I'm the only one who picks it up. I saw an enemy drop the pistol for a laser too lol.Isnt it great when youre the only one who knows about it?))

Give it time and you'll see more people being aware of a 3sk weapon on that map, meaning more contention for the areas it's in. You only get one magazine with it too, so you never really have a lot of ammo.
Picking one up doesn't make you unstoppable; it's still very possible to outshoot a CE Pistol with a BR or any other weapon.
The more data we get on it as more people experience it in matchmaking, the more we can tell if it can be a real possibility. From the games I've played, there were people aware of it so things got heated lol.
First game of Griffball....success!

CE Magnum starts when?
I mean how low could your MMR really be that you are facing golds.
I kinda wish the game had a onyx tiered system.
Deep inside, you know you're one lonely person and hope that invite could be something special.

However, the weird part is I'm all over the place. The next match I could play 1800 Onyxes and the match after I could be playing Diamonds. Every time I go into a match, I honestly don't know who I'm going to face. I've run the gambit from Silver all the way to Champion.

Is there any room for one more in the halogaf spartan company?

Yes.
No. Headlong is still fun. The basic layouts are still fun. You are wrong.
Doesn't exist. I tried asking before and no one replies.
Because nobody wants to break the news that it's full

I know it's full, I'm saying I'd gladly usurp an afker for a while since I'm actively contributing to the commendations and whatnot.
I played Grifball in Reach just to be sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me and making think the Gravity hammer used to feel better, but no, i wasn't wrong, the Gravity Hammer in Reach/H3 definitely is reliable and consistent compared to H5, and it just feels so much better.

Absolutely this! I would be ecstatic if Halo 6 launched with Lockout and other classics.
I absolutely loved how Epic Games redid Gridlock for every Gears of War game. Perfect example of a perfect map that will never grow old and deserves to always be relevant.

I have never experienced this. When I was a onyx I got paired with champions or high csr onyxs (2000s). Now that I am champion it pretty much is champions mixed with or high csr onyxs. The only time I have ever matched anything below onyx while being onyx is when I play with a friends that are ranked gold and diamond. This applies to both arena and slayer I dunno about the other playlists.
