This is the exact opposite of my anecdotal experience. Horizontal aiming seems faster.

Tonight was one for the books. Halo 5 had no mercy on me. My aim felt off and i was punished for it. I tried to alter and adjust but it backfired on me and i reverted back. Every game played today was lost. Even had my focused preference lose connection from the server. It was quite amazing in the most depressing way. I know nothing.
I fought. I lost. Now i rest.

I find it hilarious that Tashi was kicked out lol. You're a monster, Ram.

I don't mind having been kicked out now, since I'm mainly playing other games. Once Firefight is out, though, I'm gonna be fighting for a spot back in.
There will be blood.

I think once E3 shows off the next wave of shit, we'll feel a bit more motivated. I thought Firefight would help, but thinking about it, do we even have anything that requires AI, other than Marines?

Yeah, with Promethean and Covenant kills out of the way Firefight is actually going to be the least productive thing you could do in terms of company commendations, since basically nothing against AI counts for anything. Unless they ended up adding enemy Marine waves.

Finished the Strongholds Victories commendation and the pack actually had something decent other than the emblem:

Anyone else having major problems with the servers lately? 3 out of the last 4 separate times I've booted the game, I've had a Profile Sync Error.

Not this season, im hovering at plat 4-5 slayer. I'm going to be gone all next week and into June. so i dont think ill grind myself up to diamond this time around.
I recorded a clip last night that had me lagging out of a game where i teleported into an infinite exploding gernade but it hasn't shown up on xboxdvr yet lol.. sigh
Focused is a load of rubbish; for quality connection!!!!!! (but i get matched up with more plats than diamonds/onyxs it seems) I went back to balanced and had a full team of diamonds demolish me, soooo i went back to focused.. blah

I've been playing really solid lately, I think it's a combination of the elite controller, using a decent monitor and sitting on an actual chair and not 20 feet away on a bed.
Pretty much always get over 1 K/D now. Went from Gold 5 to Plat 5 with pretty much no effort. Might try for Diamond this season, but playing Arena solo is just so damn stressful, I played a match a few days ago where we were up +15 then somehow the enemy team brought it back to 48-48 and I'm sure I was close to heart failure lol

Sometimes i'm tempted to play on my 27inch ips lg monitor, cause i really do hate sitting that far away from my little 47inch sammy. IDk though, i dont want to move my xbox one from that set up and i think ther is some latency issue when streaming to my PC that is currently set up on the 27incher.
I dont even know its ms or anything. lol
I was playing on a 42 inch LG tv and switched to a 24 inch BenQ RL2455HM. Couldn't be happier with it. Moved the xbox into the office and everything just feels smoother all around.
Should give it a go at least sometime.
Finally played a game of Flag on Torque or whatever the ice remix of it is yesterday. My first impression was that I was constantly getting shot at from all angles on it. Feels a little too open.
Had a great personal performance moment where I stopped them from getting the winning cap with the flag inches from the stand, at least.

IPS monitors generally have higher response times. However, when it comes to console gaming, input lag is more important than response times. 5ms is fine for console.

Man, those buffed Silver packs had me shook with all the certs I was getting yesterday

Wonder what the input lag is on this monitor.
Yeah, they made opening pack MUCH more enjoyable...
I'll also probably stop selling my gambit and mission victory cards since they no longer go to waste if you fail.
Oh cool I didn't know that. Gonna stop selling them as well now.
Samurai G0SU

my ultra rare one went to waste when i lost/
maybe it was a server glitch? req servers always have something going on lol
Interesting, I think there is some server weirdness that goes on. I don't think it's accurate to say that the cards don't go away. Rather, they come back if you used one unsuccessfully. I'd say it's supposed to return instantly, but sometimes I don't get req points until several games after the fact.
So if the servers are screwed up, you should get it eventually, from what I've seen.

Ah okay. That makes sense. Ill keep an eye out for them.

Fact is, regardless of rank, theres enough good weapons on the map so you dont get owned. If youre not picking them up, then your playing the wrong game. This aint COD that everyone spawns with whatever they want, its halo. I cant believe someone is complaining cause theres too many good guns on the map. Incredible.
I'm still selling the gambits. The RP you get now is probably still worth more than the potential RP or XP lost by not succeeding with a boost when you could have used another one with a guaranteed payout.
The (rarer) mission victories I hold onto for GAF playtimes when I have a higher chance.
And yeah, since the update I've seen some delays before my REQ points and packs get added. Hopefully that gets smoothed over.
