Formal's accuracy is insane. Holy shit he's good.
It needs to be best of 11 or best of 13 as a continuation of their first played series to make sense IMO.
Look at this, they played a best of 5 and then 2 best of 7s.
If they played this way:
EG 3 - 2 nV
EG 0 - 4 nV
EG 4 - 3 nV
EG would have still won the tourney because they won 1 best of 7 but nV won 2 matches more than them in total games played
I don't see the issue. The number of series won shoulda trump the number of matches won. I think it's fine as is.
Coming up from the losers bracket SHOULD be the tougher path to winning the tourney.

I remember from my experience as a Caster that this is pretty common if you come from the loosers bracket you have to work harder to win the tournament
It's the same with a lot of game and series based competitions. Take tennis for example (very different scoring but it's the same concept), in the Wimbledon men's final the score could be:
6-0
6-0
6-7
6-7
5-7
The left wins a total 29 games but still loses the match to right who only won 21 games.
I finally sorted my PC yesterday and started it! Pretty much a noob when it comes to the Souls games but I managed to get to the first boss and defeat it with no deaths so yay for me
LOL:
Hahaha. That's brilliant. Maybe one day.
Won't happen

I want my jorge
grenadier
Chances are pretty high, to be honest.
Give me the Propipe and Falcon and I will care.
Thinking more about it: Focus Rifle and Revenant were also quite fun to use ocasionally.
I would say it's probably the best helmet in Halo history. I may be biased.
I would consider jumping ship to the Avs if that happened......not really but I will be upset if they trade him.

Play a little bit of the new fiesta gametype and liked it a lot but my friends felt otherwise, hopefully with this it means those weapons can become available in forge one day. hopefully soon more info on the update and hopefully this one will keep me into the game for a while but might just be since I have yet to beat so many games I own so halo has just been on the back burner.
Though I could be super late and might of missed it but a friend of mine was telling me about the other day naded went on a rant about halo 5 on a stream and all the problems with it and disagreed with almost all of them. just all the things he had problems with (except for maybe bullet magnetism being too strong) seemed like steps backwards. sure maybe the amount of storm rilfes and smgs should be limited to one of each on a map but don't need to nerf them just because they are finally reliable weapons in this one. they also felt the rail gun is easy mode and makes the worst player destroy the best (to me I thought this is what power weapons are suppose to do) because of some weapons they feel like the game is too easy . The other point i would like to give attention to is how poorly 343 is handling the competitive scene and saying how they don't know what they want and whats the point of making maps that are not competitive at all. I might be wrong here but that seems like the competitive players having problems with things that are not exactly how they want them to be. sure the new maps have problems but my friend went own to calling them useless because of that and them being terrible maps. now this is just my opinion but I have no problem with any of the maps and maybe if people would stop crying about them maybe they would like them a little more. the last thing is talking about how things like grifball and wff will destroy the longevity of halo 5 because the competitive scene but those thing are important to keeping the main player base from quiting the game entirely and only giving them the option to go against super good halo members will make them hate the game. options are good and I do not see a problem with 343 giving the people what they want. the last one might be what my friend just thought but some people might see it this way.
sorry for my long winded rant but just feel like its all backwards thinking and while having points it just seems like instead of accepting it for what it is people want things exactly how they want it and have massive problems with it otherwise.
p.s. if anybody reads all of this they get respect points from me.

Like any dev, 343 are damned by some if they do, damned by some if they don't.
More modes please, not fewer. The only map that really needs fixing to my mind is Rig Slayer, although somehow not played that combo for ages, so might have been tweaked.

Didnt notice torques update until i played it in Super Fiesta where the top mid is now open and you can drop down below.
...That's coooooooooooooool.
...That's coooooooooooooool.
Rig slayer is terrible. But I don't think it can be fixed... Which is fine, they just need to take it out of the competitive rotation.
Everytime it comes up I'm like "seriously?!?!?"... And I feel bad for the announcers who try to explain-away why it's so boring... "The meta on this map really calls for teams to slow down, yadayadaya"
Of the maps we have seen on the competitive circuit, I feel like they are all good when matched with the appropriate gametype.
As far as the DLC maps, I don't understand why 343i wouldn't aim to make all of the maps work competitively. If a map is balanced all around, then it should work for casual and competitive play. It seems like Tyrant is the only one that has potential in that regard, and that's still up in the air.
I would like to see the SMG and Storm Rifles either become tier 2 pickups, or have lengthy spawn times.

rig slayer could be worse but sniper is the grab to win gun on the map cause god know nobody going to go off with the pc as they would with the sniper. I always tend to have problems with stronghold but thats only cause i get mad when I lose (which happens a lot with friends) and strongholds feels to me like a hollow version of crazy king which is all that I want.
you know what I want back is overgrowth with the original weapon set

IMO they should still give people more options for mobility on Torque by putting a lift on the outside wall of the bottom mid area on each side...
Also this would make for more opportunities for Ground pounds which is alwways a good thing
Basically you would go up the lift and land where the dmr used to spawn before the changes.
Here's a quick mockup. Sorry that this is the old version of the map but you get what I mean lol
Such art. Much wow.

The should atleast add some ledges to allow for skill jumps to top mid.

They just need to make those things static and in a way that you can climb to the top.

I mean, they do all of these changes to Torque and none to Rig/Overgrowth. I think they are trying to get Torque into HCS so they can show off a 'pretty' map. Along with Tyrant - Hopefully.
I'd want them to omit Empire or Eden and replace them with something else.
Also want them to omit Rig and replace it with something else.
Empire/Eden -> Torque with modified map attributes. (assault)
Rig -> Tyrant, already good as is.
Overgrowth will never see the light of day in competitive. lol
Riptide can just sit this one out too. lol

Yea I'd be up for anything lol. With the changes right now the only way to go to top mid from bottom mid is on the strongholds gametype using the pillar or whatever but there still should be something that you can utilize on any gametype IMO.
It's great and super casual in a good way. If you get shitty weapons from RNG (AR + regular pistol start FTW!) you just shrug and move on. If you get Nornfang + Whispered truth you dominate and have fun.
They need to bump the kill cap to 75 or 100 cause the games are too fast but otherwise it's a great goof off mode.

Every time I've got the Prophet's Bane I don't even sprint and people just see me immediately. Yet when I'm on the opposite I get caught off guard. Do some people just have their brightness or settings so high it's super easy to see the outlines of a camo'd player?

I think the Prophet's Bane camo doesn't work like regular camo. I think you show up on the motion tracker when walking.

It's funny to see familiar faces, the same nerds I used to play with on XBC before Halo 2 dropped. Damn that feels like ages ago.
It's funny the say that when the H2 battle rifle is the noobiest starting weapon of all time.
