Jesus clg is too good. Games like that ctf show that not many people have a chance against them when it comes to objective game types. That 2nd flag cap was too sexy and the sneaky spot was something I've never seen before, just everything seems so natural with them.

 

[blue_phazon]

Holy shit NV made it to game 5 against CLG.

And last match is a Slayer. THEY HAVE A CHANCE

 

[belushy]

Envyus looking pretty good.

 

[YourExWife]

OMG this CLG v nV series is fucking nuts.

 

[blue_phazon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Unfriendly TimeTraveler]

Holy actual Christ that game was close. Thought clg was going to lose but when they got that extra kill it forced NV to push and it ended poorly for them in OT.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Wow. That was an incredible series. NV was soooooo close to winning.

That was definitely the best series thus far in pro league. Also, that series has to confirm that NV is 2nd best team in the league right now.

 

[ultimota]

devastating choke for nV

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Saw this concept on reddit, I dig it. Small but great change on the helmet

The head is too tiny, but otherwise I really dig this.

I really like some of the changes that Halo 4 & 5 brought to MC's design, but this hits the mark more IMO.

 

[jem0208]

So not only did the UK royally fuck itself up the arse tonight, RNG also got 3-0d.

This was a shit night.

 

[Cranster]

So I purchased Halo Wars on the Xbox store a few months ago when it became backwards compatible and for some reason I had to repurchase it again today. Any word if anyone else is having similar issues?

 

[TCKaos]

How fucking hard is it to not match me against full teams of Onyx and Diamond players in Slayer, 343? How fucking hard?

This is why I don't play arena in this game. I'm using Focused settings and getting full teams of laggy rubberbanding assholes that show up to fucking ruin my placement matches. I started going like 15-8 and ended the night going 5-13 and I STILL get Plat 3.

I probably could have gotten Diamond 1 or 2 or something decent, but nope, fuck that, time to get shot around corners buy a bunch of buddy buddy dudes on fucking Pegasus (because for some reason Pegasus is better than Orion?)

Also, a loss in Warzone is usually frustrating because there can be multiple, multiple definite and quantifiable failures on your behalf or on your team's behalf that lead to that loss. It's different in slayer because you can say "Oh, well, maybe I didn't do stellar but I still went 10-9," without any single instance of KNOWING that that's what's lost the game. In Warzone you get every instance of your team losing a base or botching a coin-toss on what side the Banshee boss or Warden wants to go. A standard Arena game might have one or two gut punches but a Warzone game can have one every few minutes.

Update on the Halo RTX thing. Panel confirmed:

Kinda surprised that Frankie isn't going to be there

Is he not? Huh. He can't be everywhere I guess. Dude does need a breather

Anyone?

Even Microsoft support is confused and after repurchasing the game it still isn't working. All of my other games are working fine.

No clue haven't had anything like that before or heard about it until now. Only idea I would have is deleting and reinstalling but other than that I got nothing. If Microsoft is also confused it must be something really rare.

Yeah, they said it might have to do with my account security but that made no sense as Halo Wars is the only digital game I'm having issues with.

 

[YourExWife]

So, FATstronaut, TCKaos, and myself just placed in the exact same 10 matches of SWAT as a fireteam.

We went 9-1 and the following were our placements:

FATstronaut: Diamond 6
TCKaos: Platinum 3
MyExWLFE: Onyx 1700

Pretty sure W/L should count in placements too. This shit is kinda dumb. I wasn't even the best player in the matches half the time, lol.

 

[Cranster]

Too add to the Halo Wars issues the Halo 5 servers are down again. What is going on with the Halo severs lately? They seem to be going down just about everyday now.

Idk on right now and don't seem to be having any issues with it, in fact for me the servers have been doing better than they have in the past. Might of upset the guardians or something cause you seem to be having a bit of bad luck when it comes to halo related stuff.

The truth is, you all lost for playing SWAT

 

[NobleGundam]

Those 343 skins look nice buuuut dem EG skins doe

I can double confirm this if any of the swat matches you played were dmr swat.

Plus everybody know the only fun swat game type is ffa swat, am I right?

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Mix and I aren't going either. Bummed, but he's moving into a new place, and I'm going on vacation soon after.

Come to ESL One Cologne with me <3

 

[blue_phazon]

I like how halo shoots all the baddies even though green is not a creative colour

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Just finished watching CLG and NV, that was fucking crazy.

 

[Glass]

With all the sexy new skins coming out, this is 343's monthly reminder to add an 'inspect weapon' to the underused D pad. Guns like the pistol already have the animations.

Yeah it's not like the d pad gets touched much anyway with the highly underused (by underused I mean useless) ping thing to let people know where you are at. Not going to lie I forgot about it for the longest time till I saw somebody use it today...

 

[jfoul]

Of course the update releases a day after I go on vacation.

 

[YourExWife]

Na, shit's ez mode bruh

Of course the update releases a day after I go on vacation.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, lol. At least that update was very minor.

 

[singhr1]

For how much people here and I love EG, I think their colorway is just boring in comparison to OG and CLG's skins. I'm so conflicted!

 

[Glass]

The CLG skins definitely look like they had the most thought put into them, however the Optic and EG skins have some nuances its hard to make on on the screenshots provided. For instance, the EG skin has the main logo on the AR weapon handle, which you should have a good view of when reloading. There's also a nice halftone effect on the Optic one.

 

[jfoul]

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, lol. At least that update was very minor.

I will be in the Seattle area the last day of my vacation. Maybe I'll stop by 343i and visit Stinkles to get my fix.

 

[Trup1aya]

Those team skins could look like dog shit and I'd still buy every one.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I forgot too. How do you ping? Up on the D-pad? LOL what does it even look like to other members of your team when you ping?

OH BOY.

Spoiler

NERF EXWIFE 343 , TOO OP

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Come to ESL One Cologne with me <3

You're the rich one bruh, pay for my shit so I know it's real.

 

[link1201]

These pro skins must be bought right?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

These pro skins must be bought right?

With blood, sweat and TEARS!!!

Spoiler

80,000 RP or $5.99 is my guess

 

[Glass]

The team skins have a percentage of the cost going to the teams, so unless 343 plans to give the organisations REQ points, pretty sure they're going to be $ only

Yeah, I missed the first set cause I thought I'd be able to get them with req points :'( only stuff I'm missing aside from the Achilles helmet..

[GavinUK86]

I finally got an Xbox One today. I finally got Halo 5 Guardians today. After about an hour to install it off the disc, there's a 35GB update. Oh how I love modern gaming.
