My team just got destroyed in Warzone Assault by a group.
Their Spartan Ranks were: 123, 113, 144, 139, 116, 132, 144, 111, 140, 104, 124.
The game lasted 10 minutes, and that's only because they brought our core down to a sliver of health and camped our spawn.

What awards do you get for placing?

I won three of my placement matches and got Plat 3. I'll just grind WZ this month.
Were you playing solo?

We all can grind together Warzone <3

You win 3 out of 7 and still got Plat 3? The placement system truly is a dark science.
I'd be very happy with stats like that. Very impressive with that lag, you must be a psychic.
Promethean kills will become very easy once Firefight launches, I'd guess. Seriously, Firefight can't come soon enough.
I'm also missing quite a few AI enemy stuff. I think I'm only finished with Marines and Elites.

Yes, so I expected it. Every game I lost I was the top player and there was always someone on my team that was 2-14 or something terrible. I kind of wanted to see what happened if I didn't win any at all, probably would have got plat 1.
I just find it strange that last month the game started me at Diamond 2 and I was able to grind up into the 1600s. I guess it's just luck of the draw when you play solo. Hope you get competent teammates and don't go up against 4 mans that much and during my placement matches it was the opposite of that lol.
I think firefight will make that commendation a non issue.
If the Urban mongoose grenade spawn campers are disillusioned, by the helmet though, we'll never get it...
They don't see these issues when they test the maps, because most of them are average player at best and don't spawn trap people like certain Spartan Companies do.
There is clearly an issue with the map/balancing, when the defender team actually starts to play the attacker.
I love Halo and I love breakout.
I think it's pretty easy to underestimate how deplorably a members of a community will behave. They probably didn't realize that Spartan companies would be such an effective way for so many equally annoying gamers to find each other.
As bad as the spawns are, I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to realize it could be THAT bad.
That said, 343s remix/variant philosophy as really painted them into a corner when it comes to guiding Map flow. I hope they never try this again.
Yea, but I doubt FF launches until the Summer, lol. the next few months seemed mapped out on that picture they released.
Yeah, the roadmap they posted has it as last, but Frankie also said this:
Not sure what his definition of "crazy long time is".

The armor, we should be able to get by the end of the month. However, the helmet is going to take an extremely long time. The thing is people are going to start to lose interest and start to play other games. The more time that goes on, the less people tend to play. I honestly wish that they would either reduce the requirement or raise SC to 150 or 200 players.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I would argue that people will start to lose interest, but i would counter that argument with my personal experience so far. I play the crap out of halo 2, around 5k games. I played about 500 halo 3 and about the same or less of all the later releases since then. I went to other games. I am at the 500 mark of Halo 5 right now and I am doubling down on the game. I have so many other games to play, but all I want to do is play halo again. So unlike past games, at least for me, they have recaptured that greatness.

so ranks reset, any playlist changes?
id love to be actually able to try fiesta.
Hey 343, additions to your game dont matter if they are only in custom games.

How do you cancel the animation of activating OS and camo?
You haven't seen the moments of me ripping my hair off or throwing the (Elite) controller at the monitor.

I'd say it's a safe bet the social playlist turns into Fiesta team slayer this weekend. (or whenever they switch that playlist)
Ugh, I'd rather they kept Social Assault. I'm really enjoying these more relaxed arena playlists.
Yeah, I don't have to care about winning as much. I just run around killing people.

Please make this happen, 343. I miss Fiesta so much. Just putting it into custom isn't enough.

Campaign kills don't count do they?
Sadly, no.

Ugh, I wish they would have at least given us medals/scoring in the campaign. :/
Eh, they sorted out the issues on Halo 4 Complex pretty quickly, and that was geometry clipping too (made for some interesting Flood games at launch.)
Aye. MCC made me realize having scoring and medals in all the games was the best thing to happen to them.

Atleast this time almost each question had you write something down instead of just being stricly multiple choice.
I thought it was a nice gesture to really see how im feeling.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed playing the campaign. The story line was meh but the actual encounters were fun. However, I need medals at least to get me to replay a campaign over and over. Hopefully WZ FF will scratch that itch.
