On top of that, one of the insiders here said it's not happening either.

Nearly all lag/latency problems could be resolved with a simple datacenter selection option.
They could even have an option to let the people that don't have problems open matchmake.
I would bet money that a proper region filter would help keep a healthy population outside of the US. But 343 gonna 343 I suppose.
What if there isn't enough people in your area?
Sometimes we have to search on expanded to find a game. And its really embarrassing. Its not playable. I dont know really what could be said about these servers issues. I've broke my fucking halo 5 console because of it.
Like just now, I played a game, everything went well and we won. At the victory screen I got sent to the main menu. And of course the win didn't count. These BS right there is why people keep fucking abandon this game. If its not the first thing, its the other.
And the reason we won't get h3a or mcc fixed is because these games don't have microtransactions.
If mcc had MTs it would have been fixed within 2-3 weeks of launch
well it's kinda fixed right?

So whats halo 5's excuse?

Yeah, the only thing i think we will get, for the Halo 3 anniversary, is a Halo 5 req update. maybe 1 warzone map. maybe an engine update to be on par with Halo 5 PC version that goes up to 4k in res.
and of course a halo 6 teaser trailer.
i do not expect a enhancement of any visuals/aa/af/etc for this game.
This will last approximately 0 weeks.

I actually think both Gears of War 4 and Halo 5 will get noticeably improved versions for Scorpio, visually and technically speaking.
But the call on no H3A is the right one, me thinks. Resources will be better used elsewhere.

H3A seems redundant right now. The game is still visually appealing. H2 was looking pretty rough looking (even in comparison to vanilla Halo CE), so a face lift was much appreciated.

Do you know the differences between the Win10 version and what we currently have on the xbox one version?
I believe the win10 one is labeled as their dx12 version right??
What would be the kicker is that there is no 'patch' for halo 5 and they just tout that the frame buffer will always be at 1080p with 60fps instead of dipping when necessary. lol

Yo, don't kick me. I'm right in the middle of exams (finish end of next week) then I'm going away for a week.
Starting February I'll be playing a lot more.

Well, I can't speak for Halo 5: Forge, as I don't have it, but Gears of War 4 on Windows 10 is a masterpiece. I DL'd it last night and it auto-set just about everything to Ultra on my i5-3570K/GTX1070 rig. Getting buttery smooth 60fps@1080p during Horde with the graphics turned up to 11 made my eyes water.
I can see MS taking some of those PC settings and turning them up for a Scorpio version. Although, it remains to be seen how much grunt they'll have left over once they hit the supposed native 4K framebuffer.
Should be interesting, to be honest. I'm hoping that Xbox Play Anywhere continues, so those of us who want to stay 1080p can get the games on Windows 10 (assuming they're good ports) and still play with our Xbox Scorpio/Xbox One homies.

About three peeps thus far.
It will be tedious, but I got "helpers" that have been nagging me about all of this (it's the only reason I've gotten off my ass thus far) so I won't be doing this by my lonesome.
All good my dude. You'll be on the safe list.

Sure, go for it. Whenever another request comes from reddit then just remove the next person who hasn't played the longest. I would write down or keep tabs on which people are from reddit and make sure they are actually playing. It's possible we can get people who play an hour a week. GAF members have the luxury of posting here if they can't play for an extended time due to RL things to prevent being kicked.
I'm glad to see the thread is working so far!

Damn skirmish is brutal. One game 50-10 against level 5s, next game a to4 champs and it's 50-10 the other way lmao.
What is the most dormant acct's last played date right now (do you know offhand?) I know of at least 2 accts on the current roster that last played on 9/9/2016, if you're looking for ones to boot to free up space.

Just put all H3 maps into Halo 6 at launch and honor/support legitimate BTB and that will be fine.
Unless they were gonna' throw Flood at us in an infected Voi the only really interesting and novel location would be the desert Ark stuff.
in pure 'full circleness' the final dam area of Sierra 117 would be perfect since it was the original area used to prototype Firefight.

Aw dang, I got kicked already. Which, fair, I haven't played for a couple weeks, but ironically now that I've just got some job stuff out of the way I'm actually gonna be having some time to get games in i the evenings. That said I'm probably not gonna be playing as much as some others so I've reapplied already but feel free to ignore me if you want. I won't be offended! :lol
I played a slayer match where my team lost 50-10 against the enemy team who were mostly all at a really low SR in team arena a day or so ago. The day before that match I played a slayer match in team arena during placements where my team won 36- -1.Someone on my team got a perfection in the latter match. I don't really like playing skirmish much anymore because it's way to sweaty.

So while I'm on this Spartan Company kick, here's what we got left:
Grenade Kills: 594
Melee Kills: 1,187
Headshot Kills: 31,726
First Strikes: 1,698
Reversal Medals: 5,337
Buckle Up Medals: 367
Splatter Medals: 1,827
Assassinations: 1,980
Marine Kills: 15,804
Road Trip (Ground Vehicle Kills): 12,399
Shoulder Charge Kills: 4,496
Possible, but tedious.

Will probably help grind the bolded in a few hours. Marine kills are kinda hard to get in some warzone matches so I'm not shocked we have nearly 16000 marine kills left to get.
If it ever happens it'll either be right before HW2 or right after it.Brute weapons when?

So fun fact: last night I was "researching" what exactly qualifies for a ground vehicle kill for the commendation. Reading a bunch of threads on waypoint and reddit and elsewhere (because god forbid 343 be up-front and clear about things), it appears that the commendations go off of what shows up in the kill feed.
So, if the kill feed shows "Player1 < vehicle symbol > Player2", and it's not an aerial vehicle, it counts towards the commendation. The kill has to come from a driver-controlled weapon. This means that warthog turret kills don't count (unless this has been patched very recently), and neither do passenger kills, nor splatters. Of course, we need spatters too, so that's not as annoying, but still.
One thing that I couldn't get a clear answer on is whether handheld turrets count for the Company commendation. I know they do for personal commendations (that's how I got most of my rocket turret kills), but I couldn't find a clear yes or no for the commendation.
So, to clarify, for ground vehicle kills, get kills with the weapons on the following vehicles:
Ghost
Wraith
Scorpion
Gungoose
Mantis
Splatters should count as long as that's what the kill-feed shows.
Glad I could educate ya'll on this idiotic setup and have a great day!

Jesus, how much more convoluted can it get? So unless it's a vehicle you can both control and fire weapons with, it doesn't count? Fucking hell...
Also, I am loving this game again, but after Titanfall 2 and COD (bleh) I cannot get use to the aiming. What's the gold standard for controller settings these days?
