I'm in a seriously bad losing streak after having several days of a good streak. I think the game has set me to a higher MMR tier.
I'm gold 1 and I'm now getting pitted against teams with insane personal bests, last two matches were
- Onyx / Plat 3 / Plat 2 / Gold 3
- Diamond 3 / Diamond 1 / Onyx / Gold 6
Naturally a lowly Gold like myself gets wiped out entirely

Thanks for the fun games. Went offline. I may join the late night Warzone sessions! Those Assault games were quick.
Same here. Will be back tonight, hopefully I will get a spot.
Got some nice kills there in those Assault matches, The Killtrocity was much needed. German defense made those Assault games pretty hard for the enemies #Kappa

Now no one can say Elzar doesnt like to play with people from HaloGAF.
Because that would be true.

When is the next session of gaf warzone games? Can't play atm, but I probably can later
To each his own. I don't know how a setup where one of the bases is clearly inferior and offers no counterpart base to actually setup with is "literally perfect".
I don't like SH much anyways, but a good SH map should offer 3 bases, all equally viable in a 2 cap and hold scenario. Empire, Eden, Torque, Riptide, and Overgrowth all offer this. Where as Plaza and Rig have two very obvious bases you do not want to hold in an ideal scenario.

For some reason I'm having greater than 60% packet loss. Any suggestions?

My Xbox Live died entirely mid match. First crazy lag, then disconnect from game. Since then haven't been able to connect to Live at all. Reset everything - Xbox, router etc. network test shows 170ms ping and 85% packet loss on Xbox, 7ms ping on iPad. Now watching House of Cards on Apple TV instead.
Anyone else having problems? I'm in UK.

Okay good to know its not just me. I want it to be known that I'm working on killing prometheans in wz lol.

I wonder if it's because you're already in a game on a dedicated server. As soon as it's over you'll probably have issues too. Live is completely down for me.

I've mentioned it a few times in games with gaffers, but some things that have helped me with the Scattershot are:
1. Make sure you're zoomed in. Smart-scope makes a ton of difference in weapons with large spreads like the Shotgun and Scattershot.
2. Unless you're both in the air or you can see the whites of their eyes, treat it like a Rocket Launcher, where you aim for the floor in proximity to the opponent rather than targeting center-of-mass. Scattershots have their projectiles home in on opponents after they ricochet at least once, and this mechanic is even played up with the Loathsome Thing and Didact's Signet (the two REQ scattershots). Most of the time if you aim for the midpoint on the ground between you and your opponent, all of the rounds will connect.

God I hate being in Platinum in Slayer.. I constantly get teammates that have no clue about Weapon Spawns or just bumrush.
Playing solo is terrible again
Don't worry, I'm Platinum too. We're shit-tier, brotha.

Most of us dont talk in the chat from my previous experience. We all play silently.
So its nothing wrong with your xbox.
I played like 4 champions in 2 games last night. I think the population is kind of low in FFA cause they weren't that good, either.
also, I've gone up ranks placing 5th so it's kind of a weird ranking system.
