Happy New Year HaloGAF.
I need more UK/Euro friends guys. None of my crew play anymore, so if you haven't added me, please do.
I've also started doing streams, both Forge sessions and Customs/MM so would be good to have some folks to roll in MM with.

I dont play Halo too often now, but I'm gonna add you
edit: We are already friends lol
Or we could just continue to use the company to invite ppl from here to matches or something. Trying to farm for these commendations actually robbed a lot of the fun I once had with this game.
Happy new year to everyone. Wish you all the best.
The game is unplayable for the past two days.
Yesterday we had to wait over 5 minutes to find a match, and we finally find it, nothing counts. Latency all over the place.
Another thing is when the game crashes. It kicks everyone back to the dashboard. No matter where they are from.
What the fuck is going on really.

Know your pain.

I've found faster matches on Halo reach.

Wzff crashed halo5 for me
Maybe I should give Reach FF a try.
I mean maybe I should actually finish the campaign seeing as it's the only one I haven't done. I just really want a 1080/60 version on the MCC but I feel like it's not happening if it hasn't by now.
Great campaign.
Yesterday I had only 2 matches where the connection was good. The rest is just annoying.
Today, nothing yet. Just the regular BS.
Edit :I just quit a game. This is so fucking amazing. Fucking idiotic. Shots doesn't count. Lag.
Give me one good reason why this is not fixed yet 343. One good reason.

This evening servers are a complete disaster. Random lag spikes in every single match.

Literally a joke the server's still aren't stable 15 months after release. Your owned by MS and develop their most popular franchise, and can't get the server's to function. Hint: MS is 2nd in the world in cloud computing. Ask for help?????

Yeah I had it drop/crash a couple times last night, and I was solo. Seems to drop more with a party.

they really so bad though?
can't recall maybe more than once when i actually had to put the game down for 24 hours until they sorted them out.
i literally played [on balanced] from about 7pm through 4am last night / new year's eve, and had zero issues [although i had to switch to expanded come ~2:30am, but that's normal, and i always start losing more matches when i'm forced to do this :/ ].
but yeah, seems crazy that there's any issues at all considering MS' server infrastructure, and this being pretty much the one game people buy xbox for [well, at least it's the sole reason i buy xbox teehee]
also, happy new year halo gaf!

Then we'll get the helmet just before the launch of Halo 6. lol
How so? The company has been extremely lenient on the matter (as seen by still having members on board who haven't played for months). We don't set up parties to specifically grind for assassinations or charges. We just need people who play and when the opportunity arises to get a charge or a splatter during a game. I don't see the problem booting people who don't even play the game anymore and inviting others who do and will help chip away at the helmet.

if people aren't playing, they shouldn't take up space.
i think i've received maybe one invite once [from myexwife] while playing? [couldn't accept cause i was in a game].
i still play daily, hopefully i'm helping? :/

I guess I was over-exaggerating becuase you are right, the sightlines on that map don't lend it to getting shot from across the map, the walls and tunnels just don't allow it. It did feel a bit like that though with how I would spawn in one of those lengthy tunnels and be getting shot from the far end immediately. I'll have to go back and rewatch the match because I didn't realize there was anyone on top of the map. I might get on in a bit and check it out and play a little.
EDIT: That was absurd. The first guy to get out of the map made it halfway up and I was already thinking 'Ah, that's some bullshit.' And then he kept climbing and climbing. Must have taken a bit of rehearsal and trial and error for the first person who figured out how to get up that high. I've played for a little bit on a "Boot Camp" esque Forge map that a guy from a Breakout match shared with me. I couldn't make half the skill jumps in it, so stuff like that is beyond my abilities (part of it probably has to do with my dependence on toggle crouch rather than holding).

Just got booted from a match due to "problem with the dedicated server" and got stuck on a blank post-match screen that I couldn't escape without rebooting the game. I wanted to play last night and instead played 8 hours worth of co-op Watch Dogs 2 because of the server problems, now I want to play tonight and it seems like the game is gonna make that tough. I usually don't experience a ton of issues either, or at least when people are saying that recent updates have broken things, I've never encountered many problems. Maybe that could be attributed to the less frequent amount of playing I do compared to a lot of you. I'm sure getting hammered by server problems now though. Lost a freaking higher-level RP boost too because of it.

yeah i've had this a few times.
once when this happened i forced quit the game, and when i got back into halo it told me i was banned for quitting too many matches... rofl.

I went ahead and power-cycled the console. I think I've only gotten a quit ban once, and that was early last spring when I had some issues with getting dropped and then quit a game when I had to go somewhere.
curiouscharles
Member
yeah, i think i had quit a few games so i was bound to get banned if i did it again.
just had terrible solo-queuing luck where i ended up being the last guy [or last of two guys] in a string of games.
usually i'll ride them out, but when it KEEPS happening i just give up sometimes.

Thanks for the games tonight, you guys. I don't think I brought everyone down too much and I did alright on one or two of those.
I'll try to be better about checking to see if people are on in the future. I may not have used it much and kept it muted most of the time, but tonight was my first real test of my headset I bought a few months back to upgrade from the cheap pack-in chatset (X07 Pros). So I can at least communicate with people now. I did try to make an effort to look at the names of the areas I was in when bullets weren't flying. Maybe I'll develop a call-out game at some point down the line. Playing with a group is so much more satisfying that randos though; even Strongholds, my most-hated gametype, was fun tonight with people who knew what they were doing.

I'm rocking Elixir Custom Games the whole morning and people LOVE your map. Every time somebody new joins, they say: "What is this map? It's awesome." or something along those lines. I personally love it, too. Not only does it look great visually, but you also really paid attention to map flow and considered Spartan Abilites. Great job.

I'm really glad to hear it!
It's definitely my favourite map that I've personally built so far, and I think it plays a great game of 2v2. Makes me really wish 343 would get a Community Doubles Playlist back in.
I've started doing regular twitch streams, (hence why I was looking for a UK timezone friendly crew to occasionally dong with), but I also do Forge and other bits and pieces too.
You can see my latest stream here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAOCm9zpCek (I go via Restream.io, so they're available on Twitch and Youtube simultaneously) and you can sub on either platform for a peek at what I'm building next. (Which i think is the most challenging project yet!)
https://www.twitch.tv/sikamikanico_
I also recently did a feature for Forgehub for a gametype that truly blows Breakout away, called Extermination - you can check that out here. I think some of you guys will like it a lot.
https://www.forgehub.com/threads/extermination-wipe-them-out.154893/
(There's a video there too)
<3
I stumbled upon your forgehub piece via reddit, and have been thoroughly impressed by the gametype. Then i saw your stream when you posted it in the forge thread.
Excellent work all around.

We should all give that extermination game type a go. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Sub to my channel, and I will read you the Gruffalo. (it's my kids favourite, and I do the voices and everything)
I really REALLY do want that Pig Helmet.
Maybe this could be the map.
Make sure the map has shit frame rate. That's the only way it has a chance at getting picked.

It still counts. Sometimes if you quit the build and go back in it will show the post game.
