or maybe not, considering btb wont fall under this improved "arena" umbrella. fuck, i hope they don't shit up the other modes with all the halo 4 bullshit thinking arena will satisfy the long time fans of the series...

That's one of my biggest fears tbh.
I'm so worried about BTB being pooped on
.I honestly think it could be fun with the Spartan Mechanics.
32, I think. The game history includes customs and I tried to exclude the ones that I knew were customs, but that still leaves some room for error. Around 30ish, though.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm going to have to do the math myself. I know it's pitifully low, but the K/D on waypoint is recalculated for each individual page of the games history you're on, so I'll have to find my actual K/D myself.
Fucking math, Microsoft. How the fuck do you do math?
EDIT 2: Average K/D is .89, but I can't sort by playlist, only game. So I know for a fact that there are Big Team games in there. Time to add all of my kills and deaths.
EDIT 3: Doing all of the math myself comes out to 366 kills to 406 deaths over the course of 32 games, for a K/D of 0.9 in H2A. None of these stats are visible in MCC or on Waypoint. I still haven't won a game or even gone positive in over a week, though.
If they're still using TS on the Xbone, you haven't played enough games to solidify your TS yet. You need around 45-50 before it has a good idea of where you're at.
You're still in the weird beginning phase where you can have lopsided victories or get creamed by the other team

It's been a while since the last (great) MCC patch. Any news on when the next one is coming?

Because Lockout is kind of a terrible Slayer map?
If 343 ups the range of the pistol I may just just call this the best Halo and I've been waiting a LONG time to say that.
I can honestly say I'm happy with just the AR and Pistol as my starting weapon right now but I'm sure on big team maps I will want a rifle.
343 has something pretty special right now and the feedback we give is very important. The next year of development for them is going to be the fate of the future of Halo. I caution everyone to really think about what they want and choose your words carefully.
Not if all six players are total scrubs

With everyone's hype at this level, I'm super excited for the 29th.
Yep. This early beta is going to be great for the game.

If sprint's to be in the game, the only way I'd want it is unlimited. Running out of sprint feels janky and unless there's a bar to let you know when you have a full sprint available, the feedback isn't too great.
I hope 343 maintains a similar level of transparency throughout Halo 5's development once The Sprint series concludes. It seriously goes a long way with their fanbase since they're opening their doors as we learn how grueling the development process can be. People respect this, and as a result, I feel as though we'll see more positive feedback rather than the constant turd-tossing we see online. Currently, people believe 343 is just another faceless company trying to force change upon us because reasons.

Man, I really gotta learn how to how to use the sword. I rarely get more than 2 kills before getting teamshot to death.
As to the double kill, the rumor is that they upped the duration to encourage more aggressive play. But that's just a rumor.

I'm waiting to see if the beta touches upon the larger gametypes+objective with vehicles. Plus other modes like infection.
Considering the fronts H4 floundered on, I don't trust them yet until I see if things improved or are fixed.
BtB alone the vehicle sandbox needs to be balanced along with weapons to enable a fair degree of both infantry and vehicle survivability.
Does the new stuff work in larger maps with vehicles added or not.
Step forward with the non-arena stuff, rather than step back and remove modes+customization.
If all arena style works but everything else feels stagnated, afterthought or unbalanced then as far as I'm concerned the game disappoints.

Another reason I think the addition of the stalactites was a great CA addition to the map. It's helped give me the few seconds I need while the other team scatters to get out from a pinned corner and back into the game.
And yet HaloGAF didn't want to play a 5v5 CTF game on a H4 remake of it, for shame.
I had forgotten how massive it was, too.
all six indeed
I think this beta is focused on arena 4 v 4. No btb for this beta at least.
I absolutely can't get over the audacity of Pistola and his team to ask for donations for his surgery. He threw a rage fit and punched the stage during an event and now his pinkie is damaged. Turns out he chose not to carry health insurance and claims that paying the $17,000 out of pocket isn't an option because he doesn't want to sell his new car. This is someone who has won over $250,000 as of early 2013 and made another $75,000 since then.
They seriously want morons on indiegogo to pay for it instead of him facing the consequences and parting with some of his own money. What a spoiled little brat.

Watching him during the latest installment of The Sprint makes me think you're right.

You serious? Wow. A lot of these pros need a reality check. Bunch of babbys.
I am shocked that someone who plays video games for a living acted like that

Ugh, that's despicable...
I literally cringed when I watched that.
Dead serious. Even if he is bankrupt, that's his own damn fault too - especially since he probably makes a few bucks off Twitter/YouTube. With $325,000+ of capital on hand, there's a number of good options for investments with a respectable return. Even the S&P 500 would've yielded like $50,000 over the past year.
I think what irritates me the most is knowing that the crowdfunding campaign will probably be successful. For whatever reason, there seems to be no shortage of fools willing to throw their money away online.

Beta is 4v4 Arena only. You'd have to wait until closer to launch, maybe a second beta.

Possibly, but that is a lot of stuff that also needs to be scrutinized. Not just BtB.
And would they really have a second beta?

This is the "real deal" beta, I could see them having a more conventional open beta/demo closer to launch.
3.5 hours!
If you read his twitter it sounds like he used most of his winnings to help family and such. Although it's worded in such a way to try and garner sympathy so best to take it at face value.
Some of you need to calm down. Both his parents are disabled and can't work (or one can barely work a part time job). All of his winnings went into taking care of his family and paying the bills for them. He doesn't WANT to sell his car for obvious and necessary care reasons. He will if he has too. I'm not defending punching something, but it was a simple little small thing who would have thought it'd do that much damage? I've punched something out of anger once or twice.
nope we got booted and can't get back in. I think they shut down early.
looksa lika forge to meeee
When i saw that clip I was super excited that we could go out there.
Then I saw "Return to Battlefield!"
I tell you, the return to battlefield shit is the most annoying thing ever. I loved exploring parts of the campaign/maps in H3. I dunno why it's still there :'(
