Could someone give me the gamer tag of someone who has the Avalanche map and game mode?
I have it bookmarked, GT: BraXzyy
Feel free to grab anything else off there too, I try to get most of the best game modes and maps.
Clutch!
GG's to the peeps I placed Team Arena with. Super happy with Diamond 6. Whether or not I can not choke and push to Onyx.. We shall have to see.

Cool. Placed plat 6. Just hard to determine if ppl will quit or not when you solo que.
Fun times. My "xbox record that" isnt working
Guy tried to run away in fathom. I sprint slide through crack and then meleed him to finish him off. Was pretty cool to me.

Mine only works half the time, don't forget you can double tap the Xbox button and press X in the menu.
And then when that doesn't work because the UI is a pain, dashboard, tab left and do it that way.
We played 9/10 games together and I got Plat 4 >.>

I just played a Champion 56 in my FFA placement match...came in 1st lmao
What did you place last season? It must take previous ranks into account like crazy or something, that's the o ly thing I can think of. Because we were on par performance wise I'd say :/

Yeah but the xbox button is so slow for me now.
Never registers the double tab fast enough and then just ends up taking me to the dash as i stand there in game for 10+seconds.
(((It used to be so much quicker before the nxoe imo.
I just dont understand why the xbox button is a lot slower to respond for me versus before. Does this on all controllers i have. Especially annoying when tv pops up on boot and i hit it.. Wait 3 seconds. Hit it again.. Wait some more. Then it catches up with my presses getting all jank. Lol
Carry me to diamond? Thnx
Yeah I really don't get it. UI is still sluggish as hell which is unfortunate.
I charge £35, I'll get you to 50 no sweat. MLG + Lone Wolves £50.

Thanks Braxzyy! Love all the screw-ball game types.
Good news everyone!
Arena Breakout is being removed from Team Arena soon.

About fucking time. Although arena breakout was less offensive.

I demand Slayer also be removed.

I'm assuming they're just going to remove it when Assault and Oddball get here.

Can they please put it in breakout because that would be cool and good for the people that don't mind breakout or arena breakout. Though some maps on arena breakout are pretty broken. Regret for instance is like a couple seconds to cap and not all that hard.
That makes sense, but then, Team Arena is supposed to be HCS settings right? So who knows. Idk if they'd add those modes into the mix if pro's aren't happy about it.
No no nooo. I'm happy with Breakout as is, leave this for Weekend/Fiesta playlists.
I remember when people thought Breakout with shields and on standard maps was better than default Breakout... LOL

It generally is, tho?
I'm genuinely annoyed they're axing Arena Breakout... bah humbug.

I'd be pissed if any of the pros got mad. They should be welcoming old gametypes.

Yea probably right but idk stuff needs to be added to breakout or else it will die soon as a playlist. But overall I got a problem with slayer being in an objective type playlist.
amazing lol
That would just kill the Playlist off. Removing Breakout makes sense since Team Arena is supposed to be representative of the HCS/HWC/Pro Play, but they still play Slayer.
Maybe once Oddball, Assault and other game types come, Team Arena can become Team Objective but I don't know, they've never done well when advertised as only Objective.
Feel the Swift
Member
There's no way they're taking out Team Arena. I don't think we'll be seeing a Team Objective playlist in H5.
Why do people hate Arena Breakout so much?
Played my first couple of matches on Regret last night and it was a nice change from the shitload of Riptide slayer I'd been drawing the last few nights.
Sure that particular map can be capped in about 15 seconds but we still went down to a tense 9th round.

What IN THE FUCK happened to the game from weekend until now?
Arena became basically unplayable for me due to excruciating lag.
I'm from Europe, been playing since launch, I think I have about 700 matches online and this is the first time I'm teleporting all over the map like a fucking Star Trek character. Had about 4 matches of slayer and it was the same, most of the time I couldn't even see who killed me....
My internet connection is fine, I checked everything: 0 packet loss, 550 Mbps download, 200 Mbps upload, NAT open.
Anyone else form Europe with the same issues these past few days??
This too......All my matches were Riptide, 4 in a row. Jesus Christ...

Same lol
Not. Gonna. Happen.
Good point.. Hammer it is.
Didn't Quinn put random teleporters on all the Arena maps in response to all the community feedback?

God damn, some maps are just awful for FFA. Empire, Overgrowth to name a few. Pretty angry that I faced Champions my entire placements (highest being 25...) and two matches I came in last so I only placed Onyx 1700.

Respectfully, eat a bag of dicks. I'm like 76 and no DMR still.
I got one in a warzone daily win pack a few week ago and I was at SR 68 when I got it.
I was like 53 when I got my first DMR. So happy I took a screenshot. Only shitty thing is, that by now, I have like Longshot BR with kinetic bolts, all the different attachments, that I don't even bother with basic DMR. Don't know how long I'll have to wait before I get the good DMR variants.

Yeah I don't really find basic DMR that useful once I have some really good Longshot variants, and my current go to build is a stealth based one anyway.

Trying to do the Phaeton commendation is a pain in the butt. They are so hard to get in req packs, and when I do finally call them in. Everyone on the other team is like OMG PHAETON, LETS IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE AND JUST SHOOT THAT. Kind of hard to get kills when you have snipers, Banshees, Scorpions, and etc all focusing you.
Oh well, I'm halfway through t4 with the commendation so almost there, but I'm out of Phaetons as always. I wish I could just buy specific items once you get the cert for it.

Problems is being a slayer based game type, no respawn means the margin of error is extremely small, resulting in very passive games at higher levels, and a pile of chaos in lower levels where communication is essentially non-existent.
I feel ya bro. maybe you will get it at 100
.It's ridiculous how long it takes to get a loadout weapon. The basic DMR should be available from the beginning
DMR with Kinetic bolts is even better
. Sentinel BR is the best variant imo.The problem is most of them care about K/D ratio if it's displayed on profile. I wish they take it out. If they care about it and got stomped in a match, they will quit.

It also doesn't help that some Spartan Companies require a positive K/D ratio to join.
