If I wasn't in Team Frankie I definitely would have requested to join the HaloGaf company. Oh well, met a couple great people in my company.

Submitted application to join the HaloGAF company. I'm probably going to be playing a couple of nights every week from now on since I've been away from my xbox for the last 5 months or so, from the sounds of it that should be enough, no?

I'm gonna try to get back to playing daily. It's probably gonna mean sneaking in matches before work, and if I get called out to work at night...
I'm motivated by the free loaders getting kicked, active players trying to join, and the fact that I've gone from decent to terrible.

Finished my swat placement matches to help with the head shot commendation (for the company!) and man I forgot how much a shit show swat can be especially on the dlc maps. Fucking frustrating to kill someone and then guess where the next player will be only to get shot because I didn't look the right way. I pretty much carried most of the matches and still lost a good chunk of them due to shitty teammates.

It's almost as if SWAT, the gametype with instant deaths, would be the one with radar so it could help with situations like this, whereas the gametypes with shields (everything else) would be without radar because you have a chance at reversals and surviving encounters where you're shot first.
But what the hell do I know.

A thing of beauty mate, classic clip!
I wish I could go back and get a clip of this moment from H3. We were attacking on 1 flag high ground, a teammate planted the grav lift and we took full advantage of it with rocks on a goose and exploding barrels for added salt in the wound.

343 should have a weekend playlist called:
"No Fun Allowed"
*regular arena gametypes in rotation with Motion Tracker DISABLED. Have at it spartans!

Slightly triggered by G0SU's insistence that there's "no fun allowed" when motion tracker is disabled.
Walking away from that bait.. but it's... very tempting.

Dude.. im not being serious. Seriously id actually like a playlist without radar and see how it plays when i mm with randoms.
My apologies if "no fun allowed" triggered you bro.
Well that's a bit shit.
10% is nothing...
Well, it's a little bit but it should be more.
especially since it only applies to regular season. oh well, at least e6 and cratos specifically, has been called out publicly. fuck those guys. legit shady and THIS will affect them long term even if the official punishment is weak.
Yup, Cratos was shady as fuck.
On another note, I can't find a game in Warzone right now. Something is very wrong.
Drunk Halo isn't going well...
Found a game in BTB within seconds though, H5 is weird.

Yet another incident in a long line of "Jesus, can't HCS/ESL handle the simple shit properly already?"
5% is nothing. You're attempting to "frame" a league player and publicly shaming them as an org and as other league players. Cratos is at 10%. Big fuckin' whoop. Not to mention, it's only regular season (if I read correctly). Once they had the evidence, E6 should have been suspended from the league for a full season at least. Giving equivalent punishment to Cratos' comparatively minor act of being unprofessional in official league activities and such is ridiculous.
This is even less than a slap on the wrist. Nobody is going to suffer or learn from this. They'll just be sneakier.
Actually, someone will suffer. Stellur, the literal fucking *VICTIM* is being fined as well (as part of the team fine). The dude is getting fucked by E6, by his ex-teammates, by ESL, and HCS, and is the only innocent person involved!
This is like some serious kindergarten-level ideology for punishment. They're punishing everyone, including the victim, just because they were involved or associated with the perpetrators? And the punishment is just a slap on the wrist for those that actually deserve it anyway? Jesus fucking christ. Using the NFL for your role model, ESL?

What exactly did cratos do? Know he's a shady guy. So was he responsible for stellur being signed out during the match?
Edit: never mind reading it on the last page. Sorry didn't see it.

The entire team (including Stellur) is getting fined 5% for signing out Stellur (like, wut?).
Cratos is fined an additional 5% for his "unprofessional behavior" or essentially for his existence in the league. He put down the league, viewers, casters, etc during interviews and has a potty mouth. Which is literally all he ever does, so...

Thanks for more detail. Dude fuck cratos and wow is that a shitty way to handle that stellur did nothing wrong. That shit needs to be changed and cratos needs way more than a slap on the wrist.

Sweaty BTB is like the worst thing in this game. People just crouched taking pot shots with BRs. It's fucking disgusting. You can't even move around the map.

Stellur getting fined is terrible, feel bad for him.
T2 made a good point in last Wednesday's opening broadcast when he and Elamite were discussing the Optic takeover of CLG that in the "old days" of competitive Halo you had teams form with friends or groups of players that grinder it out and created bonds and competed for the love of the game where as nowadays everyone seems to be in it for the money and team loyalty is nonexistent.

Agreed, and Magnum starts would alleviate this problem immensely. I can't even check out the new maps properly because I get BR melted so quick.

I haven't been able to play much Community Action Sack since it got added but man is it good for commendations. Just got an "Invincible" for surviving all rounds of a Breakout match, using Mantis Breakout. I would never get that commendation otherwise. It's doing wonders for my Ground Pound kills too. I can't say I am too fond of that Paintball variant, 1HK Breakout with Plasma Pistols.
I need to try out the BTB maps now that the refresh has happened. I barely played much BTB at all before despite playing it exclusively in previous Halos and being a huge fan of it. BR starts just made it no fun for me. I guess I'll see what it is like now though.

lol dude this playing horribly he goes like 6-14, the score 40-48. Right when they hit 49 kills he quits. Like what is the point of that?

No clue. I play horribly all the time but I see the match through. Earlier in the year I quit maybe two matches or so, but they happened to fall around the time when I was getting disconnected a lot. I got a short ban once and decided there was no point quitting and taking bans. I booted the game up to play it, getting banned and quitting is counterproductive.

Taking a mini break from Halo, but I am in the loop in terms of the Company. No one who had not played in a week was kicked. We're looking at kids that had been away for 2 to 3 month, in most cases even longer. I get playing something other than Halo, I get having a personal life and being in the real world. But if you have had no activity in the length of time that we're talking about here, chances are you're not coming back. At least not in a way that is of any help to the company.
If you disagree with getting the boot, or you had some crazy circumstance that prevented you from playing for months on end, let me know. Talk to me. I'm not looking to be a dictator here, but there are quite a few people that would like to get serious with finishing the commendations. It will never be based on rank, it will never be based on K/D. It's all about participation.

God getting endless attacking side on warzone assault makes me rage. If I play 4 games I should not get 4 attack. It used to be the only game type to play casually but now when I'm only on attack it gets too much and starts getting irritating when it becomes mostly spawn camping and getting shot as soon as I spawn.
Also is it me or have randoms got even worse at the game for some reason? Like holy hell some plays I saw randoms doing make me want to scream.
Also daily reminder that going for the 3rd stronghold instead of defending the one you just captured and losing two while capturing the one in a shitty location makes you automatically a fucking idiot. Only time to triple cap is when you are stomping on people or have people defending all points and are set up for it. This is the main reason most of the time a team loses at strongholds.

I wonder how WZA would play if the objectives followed Battlefield Conquest rules:
- If the attacking team has a majority presence on the point, they begin capturing it
- The more attackers outnumber defenders, the faster the capture
- If the defense outnumbers the offense, the capture progress drains away

Speaking of which, I'm actually on my last pack! One more and I'm done!
Well, technically I never unlocked the corp mongoose, but that's a common that doesn't drop in Silvers...
Congrats! I got the game shortly after launch so it's taken me nearly a year to get this far, not too bad I suppose. There do seem to be some reqs I've missed out on, so that's disappointing. All I really want though is my Phaeton Helios cert so I can req some shit up and finish the commendation.
Pls?
