I'd rather not have a joke gametype mixed with a competitive one personally.

I think he's talking about having a social playlist and mixing things like 5v5 assault and fiesta in that list... As opposed to just having one game mode per week

Only a few more commendations to go! We're rolling

Only 7 more lvl 3 commendations to go until the armor... Promethean enemies is the only one that isnt at least halfway complete.

We desperately need firefight to come sooner than later if we ever want to 5/5 that one before halo 6

So I have all of the certs and I don't think I've got a single mythic weapon since. I don't understand why they're so stingy with them, I've spent probably 300K RP since then.

I also just played a game of Assault in TA where a guy went 6-29 on my team. I unmuted after the game to see if anyone was going to trash him, unsurprisingly it was a game full of Onyx, and him, a Plat. But he was with one of the other Onyx members on my team going off the conversation. "You playing another?" "Nah not after that, this game fucking sucks."

Man, few things give me more joy in this entire world than going against a team of players with 'leet' names like xXx z0Mbi3b0Y xXx and oOo DarKpLaYer oOo and coming out 18K 6D of it. They were yelling something like "I wish I never get matched with you, you are a waste of CSR (?)". Hilarious.

I tried to spartan charge someone yesterday but hit melee too soon and just whiffed air. He proceeded to jump back and thrust and ninja me. :( Probably first time I've gotten ninja'd in this game so far.

Finally starting to get into Halo 5 online games again. Had to reinstall the game completely. So now I can play Warzone and the main team arena playlist.

I didn't realise you could create a Halo specific user name. We had this insanely good unranked guy going 25k3d, with like three games played. His user name was I BUM UR MUM. When I went to report the user name I noticed that his gamer tag is different.

Ah, sorry to hear that man. That's one of my biggest detractors from moving to Asia.



Yeah it was weird. The name on the carnage report and ingame was I BUM UR MUM but once I went to his gamer card the name was different. Reported it anyway.

Sounds more like a mod/hack thing. Reporting was probably the best course of action.

Urban defense, get the 2ndary spawn by the dropods to the left, put a guy in the cubby hole, their 3rd spawn. Spawn 2 gungooses, drive them to the grass behind the wall, hop on the back, push them at their primary spawn by the stairs, get 1-2 people to sit there, move guy out of cubby hole. Other team spawns on 3 grenades and dies instantly. Got a killionaire and 48 assists with level 9 REQs in under 6 mins. 343 wtf

Ill post a vid later.

343 should just spawn them inside your garage when all the spawns get blocked like this.

343I needs to add a forfeit option into Warzone. Players just like to grieve and spawn trap us and make no effort to destroy our core or kill AI Bosses.

The alternative is to shutdown warzone if the core is open after a period of time.

For example, spaceship takes off off and obliterates everyone on A.R.C.

Easy way to reuse the sound bit, "Shutting down. Ending simulation."

Everyone loses.

He must have just changed his name recently.
It takes a bit of time to fully update in games.
The name on his gamercard is his current name.

Experiencing major issues with retrieving data tonight. None of my ranks showing up, SR at 1, REQs not loading in the one Warzone game I played. No icons loading at pregame screen. Did two hard resets to no avail. First time this has lasted for a while. Any ideas or anybody else having issues?

If stranger callouts play like this, I'm always going private.

Play with a group of diamonds and against, get one rank down on Plat.

Logic.

No overshield pickup when the bomb carrier? Huh? Seems wrong to me.

Missed the double perfect but love the opening of Coliseum.

Escorting the bomb guy the right way.

EDIT: Also anyone else have problems throwing the flag when out of grenades? Is that a limitation I'm just not aware of or a glitch?

Throw flag? Isn't that pressing Y? Same for throwing the ball in Assault.

Well at least that is what you assume everytime here on GAF aswell :)
You aren't letting anyone criticise somethibg without looking up or pointing out how they play. :)

Well anyways BTT:
After playing the Warzone Saturdays sessions and the 5v5 list it is obvious 343 has to do something against Killfarming, but seeing that the members of proteam do nothing different puts my hopes to rest.

The Assault playlist is also the perfect example why Arena shouldn't be Objective only, people would just go in there for Kill farming and ignoring the objective.


But aside from that I'm as happy with Halo 5 as I can with a Halo game sofar, 343 did listen and change Riptide's and Overgrowth's weapons. I think after worlds is done we will also see changes in the launch maps.
