But seriously, I play with a party 90% of the time. That win %.
I did play some solo Warzone Assault for the company last night though, before Wolfenstein.
Just under half way through fixing the stats for the company (38/97ish) and so far there are still 15 players that I flagged for inactivity, most of them for sporadic play, which I classified as logging only few days this month or a small number of games recently overall, enough that I wouldn't deem them "active" per say. That's something like 40% of players I've logged so far. Again, it'll be up to Hyper/Gringo/Elzar/Ram et al to determine how to act on the data I'm finding and to confirm the veracity or severity of it, but it's just my criteria.
On that note, the actual metrics that I got before were pretty accurate save for the Warzone K/D, which was totally borked for some reason. At this point there has only been one two players with Warzone K/Ds below 1.2, and only one of those is actually negative (shoutout to Barlow lol)

Fine I will play a boat load of rounds this week and next month, first exams just ended so I can actually do stuff
Can you say who you've flagged?
I've not played much at all this month... But I will be able to play more soon.

This is the first time that I see one assassination with the assault rifle!
BTW That was FATstronaut and me he helped me last night with one amazing video that I'm making, I will post it here when it's done

Blew my ground vehicle load in Warzone assault. BTB it's always a fight with your teammates to get one.
i have been playing a lot more BTB that previously though. The map refresh has made it actually fun for me, even though it would be better with pistols.

Man everything I start trying to get some splatters and vehicle kills it always ends up the same. I hit somebody at full force and they lose their shields and they proceed to board me. Splatter physics is so all over the place at times and it's bull. Should be at certain speeds you dink somebody you should most of the time die.
Also make the banshee maneuvers a fucking cool down. Should not be a thing where the dude can get 10+ kills in one run with just spamming the button and making the banshee freak out and look like it's bugging out.

Unless it's a teammate then all you have to do is look in their direction and they're dead. :/
It got worse. They fined the entire team 5% of their regular season earnings (even Stellur), and fined Cratos just an additional 5%.
If e6 ends the regular season in 1st place, Cratos will lose just $317. For reference, he's made over 130k in tournament winnings this year.
Stopped playing, because all 4 of us (probably all 8) got kicked ~10 kills into the game 2 times. These servers are just so dissapointing, on top of the low tickrates and physical locations. If only we could get back to how the servers were in May...
Even pros are complaining about them recently.
Yeah, you have to get lucky in BTB, if you aren't playing in a group of 8 players. Warzone is probably easier, but I pretty much stopped playing it. Have like 3 games in the last 3 months (not counting Firefight). Will try to play more again, but I'm not forcing myself.
343i should just finally increase the Spartan Companies to 200 people. Maybe then we will have a real chance, until Halo 6 releases.

Basically reconfirms my conception/knowledge that outside their core games (Dota, CS and maybe Starcraft), ESL are bunch of incompetent people.
It helps that I find WZA to be the more fun if the two. I don't play the objective so much as I true to kill as many people as I can... Which helps the team play the objective.
I've all but quit WZFF, it's still fun, but I need those tanks for company commendations!
Bigger SCs would be nice, but it seems like we have so much dead weight in ours that we'd have trouble filling it with 100 more useful people.

How do we feel about outsiders helping with Achilles? Might be able to entice people to help us help them.
I'm fine with it!!!
I really want it. But I also want to lose myself in Gears and Forza Horizon 3... So id be down with anything that expidites the process (except farming) at this point

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world wide web. And you will be launching the largest Halo aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation and shame.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist, to look hot.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day by getting our Achilles helmet!

Yes we need tons of ground vehicle kills. But Spartan charges have silently dethroned ground vehicles as our "most behind" commendation.

So yeah, how come the Halo Series general wikipedia page is soo outdated? in fact everything in general about Halo is outdated on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(series)
Read the page, it sounds like H5G is an upcoming game instead of a current one and Check under the Halo series dropbox, no entries for any of the current books or other media, its like wikipedia just stopped caring about this franchise.
I know it doesn't matter here on HaloGAF because Halopedia is god wiki, but it matters to the general public I.E. outside of this place.
if someone at 343 is looking at this page, think they can find out why Wikipedia just isn't giving a damn about Halo and maybe get their butts in gear into updating the pages and adding new entries?

Played a few rounds of WZA and got a nice amount of ground vehicle kills. Even sacrificed my only Ultra Ghost for our common cause! Too bad it was really hard for me to actually find games for some reason...
I thought anyone could edit Wikipedia pages? Maybe you could tip off a few Halopedia people to take care of it?

We have a lot in common:
-BTB Pistol Starts
-Black Undersuits
-Real Mk. V
But we also have many differences:
-They suck.
-I don't like them.

Not sure, but I don't want some rando doing it, which is why I'm not even telling Waypoint about this.
But if you know anyone at Halopedia that has got the time that would be great.

I think I'm gonna start playing again, this week or the next... I'd love to get back into the company, since I was there when we got the armor.

Mantis is sooo good now, just went on a 14 kill killing frenzy and I saw a bunch of players trying to hijack me from the front lol. I was doing so well a teammate brought out their own mantis to join in on the party
thanks 343 for getting rid of that "bug"

Love it when your REQs freeze and you have to stick with just pistol and assault rifle for the entire warzone/firefight match. I think I have to restart because this is my 4th match like this.

apparently there was a "bug" they just barely realized recently that allowed the mantis to get hijacked from the front. Now that it's gone the mantis is super useful now like in 4.
fuck that.
Either Halo gaf deserves it on their own or we dont get it... Any of us could've gone and gotten in one of those "Achilles hunt" companies at anytime if outside help was wanted.
Using outsiders feels like cheating to me.
¯_(ツ
Ofcourse you are both absolutely right.
I would definately feel dirty if outsiders helped us get the helmet...
but we'd look clean that precious helmet!
All jokes aside, I wonder if we should organize some sort of push. Like have a weekly target for a certain type of kill. For example, this week everyone could aim to get 100 standard weapon kills.

We're never getting that helmet. Might as well let the dream die, like BTB Pistol starts.
And radar.

Swat is the easiest way to get spartan charge kills right?

Eh, I always get blasted when I try in swat. The whole one shot kill thing doesn't bode well for sprinting at people. But yeah I've heard people have success with that.
