I don't understand...

This Premium REQ bundle code someone gave me is only 10 digits long...where the hell do I input it?

 

[Kalentan]

You're going to wish you were back in Gold after im done with you in Platium matches.

>=D

Where it so easy...

Also, I just got the Pizza Skin from a rare REQ. Awesome.

 

[Feel the Swift]

I've been getting Riptide like every other game. I think it plays alright on strongholds, Nest feels like the pit on Empire almost though. Can't believe they released it without the name for one of the hills lmao. It's a nice change getting to use covenant weapons like the Beam Rifle. Slayer I think the spawns are just bad.

 

[tootsi666]

Thank god XGAMES will be streamed on twitch. Really excited, now we will see who can actually handle the pressure on LAN.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

That sentence hurt my head. Have I been playing too much of The Witness D:

I totally meant onyx instead of bronze.. WOW...

im horrible.

Now you will feel the HEAT x 2 !!!

So excited for the X games. I have been a big fan of Halo esports for a long time. A few years ago Halo esports would be the last thing people would talk about in the Halo community thread. Now it is discussed on a daily basis. I hope the support will continue when the HWC is over.

Does anyone know where a possible 10 digit promo code for a REQ pack could be redeemed?

I shake my head in shame.

Oh snap yeah, I forgot it was a LAN event. This is gun be goooood!

Here's hoping that they are looking at providing more special REQ's that can be sold to fund greater prize pools for tournaments. It's all fun and games to say that there is 2 million+ for a single tournament, but what will grow the scene, give legitimacy and longevity is to routinely have tournaments and events that are providing 30k, 50k, 100k+. This gives pros stability and the ability to make this a full time career. It also draws in other players. Why do guys like Nadeshot, Formal leave Halo for Call of Duty? It's because they can make more money for their careers. Right now, very few Halo pros only play Halo. Several have to work supplemental jobs. This provides them with little time to stream, make vlogs, scrim against others. This touches on what Optic Hecz said yesterday as well. The scene will only grow if the pros want it to. Bring in the viewers, make the content.

Three wins away from leveling a commendation for Warzone Assualt and I get 3 brain dead teams in a row...

If you guys are running any customs, please give this one a go (4v4 max)

It's called Archive (alpha) in my bookmarks.

 

[singhr1]

Woah. Still not used to seeing an article about Halo 5 on ESPN. Worth a quick read before the games begin in a bit

Wow! You did a great job with that.

It used to be red right? Or was that a different map? Loving the aesthetic change if so

 

[Kalentan]

What? Does Pizza offend you? Should we talk about this like adults?

 

[maximrace]

I can't help a person that is seemingly muscling into my territory of hosting custom game nights.

You'll see, oh, you'll see.

I'll join one time to learn your awsome secret! ( When your not playing Battlefront, scrub )

 

[Detective]

5 hours of gaming. One good match. The rest is just lag.
Am about to give up.

 

[Trup1aya]

Already the presentation in the halo twitch stream is leagues better than it had been.

Yup. X-Games is live people!

Sorry to be that guy, but you played for 5 straight hours and the lag was so bad you're about to quit? Why did you endure it for 5 hours?

I wanna see the receipts.

 

[BraXzy]

Breakout is definitely removed from X-Games, they just confirmed. Was that confirmed yet? Outside of HCS?

 

[JackHerer]

This is going to be so much more enjoyable to watch without Breakout.

 

[belushy]

Damn those Allegiance jerseys are pretty cool. I love the logo.

 

[Sikamikanico]

Wow! You did a great job with that.

Ta muchly.

And yes, went for this terracotta look originally, but changed my mind yesterday. Think it looks much nicer now.

 

[Madness]

Yeah, they removed it from the HWC as well. EG/CLG definitely benefit because they struggled with Breakout. It's weird though, because several of the teams playing used Breakout wins to win series or to get into X-Games, into the HWC, win qualifiers and now it's removed altogether.

 

[BraXzy]

I just noticed that, dope as hell.

For LANs is it live feed, or does it still have a delay? No idea how it works.

I think they literally just mentioned that about Epsilon, that they were real good at Breakout so it could screw them up in series'.

 

[belushy]

Its live, not using the spectator mode. Che just told me on twitter that it will be used for Regionals, though. No idea if it will see any improvements.

 

[Madness]

Damn, feels so good to see Halo without spectator mode again. Yeah losing the outlines kind of sucks as a viewer, but getting live feed of the actual player screens, no delay, no wonkiness is great.

Has anyone made any thread for this? Would be good to get the Halo name out there, X-Games Halo, get more viewers etc.

[Cranster]

I don't know how matchmaking works in Warzone, but I am tired of getting matched with scrubs on my team.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Hope EG makes it through, won't be able to see their game tonight.

 

[OverHeat]

Where is my haven remake 343i your best map in H4 deserve to be in 5!!!

 

[BraXzy]

Probably better to have a new thread now it's launched? I started throwing one together?

 

[Granadier]

Tournament discussion going on in Discord right now.

Everyone, get in here!

 

[FATstronaut]

Anyone planning on making a threat on gaming side for the X Games tourney?

I would do but I'm stuck on mobile so it'd be a bit of a pain.

I'd do it but I suck.

Some definitely should though!

 

[Akai__]

Seems like they finally realized that the Spectator Mode sucks, because it doesn't show stuff properly.

Tournament discussion going on in Discord right now.

Everyone, get in here!

Lol, Walshy thinking Sniper had 0 bullets when it was 8.

 

[blamite]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't tell a 0 from an 8 in the ammo counter. :lol

Fix the fonts plz Tashi

Rookie caster. Epsilon are actually performing way better than expected. Everyone expected them to get embarrassed right?

 

[sir_dany12]

Did anyone saw the vehicle pack?

 

[Strider]

So every series is a Bo5 even in group play? That is a lot of Halo over the next few days...

How can I get in on this custom Twitch chat business?
