That Triscuitable kid is pretty mediocre, too. Really brings a team together with constant white noise.
I take it back. Maybe this update was a bad idea after all.
Oh man. I want so many of these gametypes/maps.
That rotating Dyson sphere map looks fun.
And the electric pig balls. Where can I find these??
Nvm I found his fileshare (TOKETAKE). But ofc those two aren't in here that I see. D:

Much better outcome then when my plasma grenade would attach to a brute's spike grenade in Halo 3 and come back to blow up in my face.

Sweet. I had no idea I was so far along in my REQs, dang. Mostly all I care about are weapon skins, haha.

Link is dead, which is strange as I fixed and checked it twice.
It's from Halo Reach, a Moa runs in front of the player and takes a sticky.

For the first time in a while, I got dropped from the server. It was in a BTB match that was going favorably for my team and one that I was shockingly doing well in. I swore under my breath and started searching for another match, only to get a Strongholds match on Recurve, which is one of my least liked gametypes. It started off pretty bad but the team turned it around. I actually performed decently as well, I guess. And I know going for all three is never a good thing but my team went out and got total control on two separate occasions and held them for a while. Final score was 150-83, and at the beginning people on my team were quitting because the other side had great control with vehicles and capped all three pretty early. I hate Strongholds, so when things went bad right off the bat, I assumed it would probably be a shutout. But I'm glad I stuck in there (I never quit anyway though).
EDIT: Hot damn, I didn't know there were Gambit REQs for AI kills. I just got a Legendary Gambit: AI Kills REQ from a promotion pack. That will come in handy for sure in WZFF.

Don't expect any of the campaign armors until way late in the batch. Those sets have an extremely low droprate versus virtually any other armor set in the game. Didn't get them until my last 15-20 packs.

IS T SQUARED OVER THERE
Also grenade launcher hype baby
Someone made a good point at beyond: what if the new love of the silenced ar is to support a much asked for new radar that only shows Spartan abilities and shooting? Makes sense.
Of course not all 343 Hcs changes make sense. We also previously had silenced smgs on plaza for God knows what reason...

Pistol only starts with silenced ARs as tier 2 weapons would be pretty cool with a Spartan Ability tracker replacing the current motion tracker
But i don't think that's happening

RyaNoob made a good video demonstrating no radar with actual clips. I think actually showing situations makes it a lot better than Snip3down's video. To clarify I'm assuming he wants these changes in HCS (and Team Arena) not H5 as a whole.
I really don't see them removing ARs as secondary but I can see spartan ability only radar. Adding multiple silenced ARs just seems very out of left field if they aren't changing anything.
As for the new changes, they all look solid. There a couple extra changes such as no shotgun on Eden and Mercy is being tested for HCS as well.

Please please please let there be an ability-only radar.
Radar sucks because the game becomes a crouch fest.
Having no radar also sucks because people will just run around and Spartan charge everywhere.

Good players are able to punish and hear sprinters easily just like now. It's all about awareness. Radar or not people will spartan charge because the aim assist on it is ridiculous.
And to clarify, I'm advocating for no radar in HCS/Team Arena ideally. Keep it in the rest of the playlists for all I care.
No reason at all other than I have another account that doesn't get bombarded with invites and hate mail non stop. If I had started on my public account I'd have stuck with that. As it is I have about a zillion unused reqs on my MP account, and less on my other account.

Oh yeah I only want no radar for Team Arena. Too bad I only have a stereo headset though so footsteps are not very accurate for me lol
Play with gaf we're good people sorta maybe :3
It does seem out of left field, but so did the silenced smgs and solace of peace on maps. Someone i think they do things just to do then.
I think Quinn said on tb that they aren't opposed to looking at modifying radar, but I'd be surprised if they got in. Especially since the this leak says radar is on.
I have 100% turned around on thinking that a "unified settings" (in quotes as settings were never actually unified across all playlists) across the board is a good thing. While im not sure i want to play no radar over radar playlists (old dog, new tricks), and see radar as a staple of what makes halo halo, it absolutely needs to be removed from HCS and hcs playlists (ranked arena). It's not fun to watch pros camping corners and crouch walking. it would be exciting to see true outplays and flanks without worry of radar abuse. it would also upset the applecart of the current stale pro meta --- a good thing as a viewer
I believe they have smaller mags, but you don't show up on radar when firing.
So they're only helpful when you're standing still or crouch walking? That seems kinda pointless.
They are useful in Warzone when you can have upgraded sensors. Or anytime you have camo. It also can cause a little bit of confusion to the enemy when you first start shooting him, delaying his return fire.
but yeah, generally they are most effectively used when crouching in corners. This "pointlessness" is why some people are speculating that the radar will be modified to something that actually makes these pickups worthwhile.

But then again we had silenced SMGs for no reason lol

so if you sit there with a silenced weapon, your position wont show up... so it promotes camping then eh? (arena)
