Thanks for the update. Thankfully, I only bought one req pack before it was fixed.

Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped
- Thread starter BraXzy
- Start date
Are you Onyx?
Yea, I've found a couple matches since that post, all the same guys though, lol.
Team of 3 Champs, I'm out!
I wish it was a little easier to score in Assault... So many games end in a tie and/or teams don't even reach the score limit.
But as someone who never really played Assault before H5 the more I've played it the less I like it... By far my least favorite gametype in the TA playlist atm. It comes up soooo often though :/
Edit: Also people will post anything on Beyond just for some damn rep points XD So many deletes in that HCS thread (for good reason).

They'll probably dial it back when the next content update hits.
I love it.
I don't find it any easier or more difficult than capture the flag. You establish map control, move the ball into the enemy base when you have numbers, then control the base for a few seconds.
Yea I know... Looking forward to it tbh. I'm really hoping we can get KotH and Oddball in matchmaking next.
I think there's a good chance Oddball gets put in at some point but not sure at all about KotH. Strongholds may have all out replaced it.

So many things have happened in Halo the last two weeks. I 've had so much to say as i lucked this thread.... during my 'ban' time lol.
HCS - Semi-Finals were hype. Finals were super hype as the first game was a tie. Felt the chills when i seen ALG give CLG a hard time. Then reality set in and.... yeah. lol
Anyway.... yay halo! lol

I've been a Halo fan boy for awhile and this is the first time I actually sit down and watch this stuff. My favorite part is the movement around the map. I'm amazed at how fluidly everyone moves around the maps.

In Gold/Plat more often than not Assault games end up 0-0 tie or a 1-0 win which isn't really fun.

Yeah i agree! There movement is impecable. I wish i could traverse that good. I still can't get the fathom jump over the water to the top where railgun is.
Welcome back
Thank you Sir. Glad you liked my clip haha
Finally done with the Silver packs!! now moving on to gold packs.
I love assault, but it is harder to score on this gametype, is easier in Halo 5 because the arming timer doesn't reset if you are stop, but because you have to stay put in the enemy base for seconds to score makes it harder than CTF were you only need to reach the goal.

It was also $12.50 on Amazon during the HCS weekend.
The latter was why it was really easy for me to get into and continue playing the campaign. Outside of maybe like one encounter (the vehicle playground / triple knight + phaeton + wraiths clusterfuck midway through Genesis), it never really felt like you had to just hunker down and try to pick everything off one by one from a safe distance and pray you had enough ammo, and even then I'm pretty sure that part of Genesis was explicitly inspired by Two Betrayals. The closest encounter otherwise I would say is probably certain parts of the elevator ride in Evacuation, but even then the gunplay and effectiveness of the sandbox against the enemies means that you can actually play the game, rather than it just turning into a cover shooter, like you said.

Damn, forgot to recommend HWC format changes in the newest survey.
Double Elimination, at the very least, is a must.

Yeah. I haven't revealed anything of what they asked.
Did you take the survey too? good stuff right? hahaMarty talks about the original ending to Halo 2. Nothing too groundbreaking, but some more detailed (yet still vague) information.

Nice! I think I might have gotten a buckle up Hat Trick on the last game last night, but I can't check since I was streaming.

I'm so horrible at this game. It makes the wins feel that much better I guess, especially when my team dominates the other team, but it can be tiring trying to get one of those wins sometimes.
I was so excited about returning home to the US and being able to resume playing Halo online recently. When I left after a short trip back last year, I hadn't gotten to spend too much time with Warzone but what I did play made me fall in love with it. And I was doing decently as well. Now that I am back though, I am finding out that I am just not good at Halo 5. I have a ton of fond memories of H3 MP, but H5 is a completely different beast than H3. It don't remember having a -4.4 KDR in H3 either which bums me out quite a bit (not blaming that in H5 though, it's my own fault). I started playing Warzone when I first got back but I was getting bodied regularly, going on horrible losing streaks. So I decided to shift focus to arena for a while, which was a big mistake.
I typically played BTB is all previous Halo games but I decided to try the regular ranked Arena game types this week and see if I could place. I think I won one of the 10 needed to place in Slayer. I lost six in a row yesterday before winning and each one saw me getting only two or three kills it seemed like. I tried playing again today and finished what I needed to at least get Silver 1 but it was still brutal. I started trying to identify what I was doing wrong and what the enemy teams were doing right. It seemed like most of the enemy teams were rolling four-deep at all times and steamrolling over any lone teammate or myself that they came across, so I tried sticking with teammates and not just running off on my own at the beginning of the match, tried to stay as a pack. When my team and I stuck together, I was winning more engagements and feeling better, but it is a total toss-up whether the mic-less randoms that I play with fight as one unit or just take off towards power weapons. I guess that is just a problem that occurs when playing with randos but I can't exactly blame them for the losses because I am not putting kills on the board and winning either.
I do need to play more and learn some of the maps better. I also have some bad habits still like tossing too many 'nades and going for melees that I am nowhere close to landing.
I guess what I am saying is that the game is very polarizing for me. I like the MP at times but other times I get very frustrated by it. The formula has changed a lot since H3 though and even XBL has changed a lot since then with the advent of party chat and disappearance of people communicating in random matches. It seems like none of the people I played H3 with play H5 either. I have yet to try the single player because I never finished H4 and wanted to marathon the MCC before starting this (and haven't begun that marathon yet).
Just kind of frustrated and looking to rant a bit is all. I was playing some Griffball earlier and going like 23-5 on some matches and actually had some of the good teammates I was playing with wanting to invite me to more matches, so that brightened my day a little. I didn't feel like I was totally wasting my time.

I get 50% of them. Had to sign up twice...
Yeah but in CTF, you have to reach the goal with your flag at base. So not only do you have to gain map, control and force enemies to spawn outside of their base to pull the flag, but you also have to be able to do so while keeping the enemy out of your base.
There's a lot more multitasking in CTF, so it seems to me that it's a mode more prone to stalemates.

The last update broke my Elite controller it sets itself to a "delayed" profile always when I log in and the standard curves for the stick behavior have changed so now it is not like they used to be... have some kind of slowturn now with the Elite controller. fucking dammit
