Wow that E6 vs 3sUp series was amazing. Disappointed with the result, but that was some great Halo to watch.

It's actually kind of amazing that they haven't been able to balance flying vehicles since Halo 3. You would think someone, at some point would be like "wow it's actually kind of hard to hit things that move really fast in three dimensions. And why did we give them a one-hit kill weapon that also has splash damage?"

Holy shit. The ending of that Plaza slayer was nuts.
The Falcon was great in Reach. It's just that they had to pair it with the most powerful Banshee in the series. It also wasn't a pilot operated weapon either.
And it all goes back to the terrible vehicle health model that we've had since Reach. I think 343i tried to make it more like the old health model with the shields on Wasps and Banshees and such, but it doesn't match the shield meter in the UI. It also goes into the whole kill faster thing that Halo 5 has, where most of the base vehicles are 1 hit kills.

Can you imagine Simms saying "took a face off!" when you get a sniper headshot or "cheeky double kill" <3

The shotgun is a huge issue on Pegasus II Strongholds.
It's on an extremely short respawn time and is effective for protecting all 3 objectives.

So here goes try 2 with WZ: it's a jip (we have half as many points), we're down 2 people most of the time (sometimes only 1, yay), enemy captures all bases and starts farming. I actually managed to capture a base and get a whopping 5 kills by the end of a 275-1000 loss (I even took down a hannibal wasp

Thanks!
No, there is a helmet that sorta looks like it. But its not. Its ugly.
The whole noble team is there. I just need Noble 6. Who should have been there with the rest. He has such great helmet man.

I'm playing Duck Hunt with Phil Spencer. This custom games browser is really awesome.
The Hannibal Wasp is a pretty interesting REQ variant, in that it trades suppressive fire and point damage for a more powerful burst weapon and then basically a carpet bomb secondary. Still haven't gotten the hang of it. Feel like the ONI variants are more my play style (goes for all the vehicle REQs really.)
Did the same thing last night. It's so good.
It's actually pretty amazing. The other night we were playing some customs and I opened the game without realizing that it would put it on the server list. Surprised me when we started playing and we had a full game. It was awesome being able to grab that many people instantly. It's gonna give this game legs for sure.
It's going to make this kind of stuff so much easier.

It took you what, several months to implement this when people have been begging for a CGB for about a decade now? I'm just glad you finally realized it; it's never too late for greatness.
Hope rising.

Yup, i've seen 4 shotguns in the hands of players at the same time several times already. RIDICULOUS.

Shame that Cratos won't be relegated but I'm glad that Bubu and Shooter aren't being relegated. Should be a good one between ALG and 3sUp.
What does being relegated mean in this context? Despite watching a dozen or more tournaments over the years I'm still not really familiar with the jargon.
