I'm used to being in the 40s in H2 and multiple 50s in H3, a game I considered myself bad at. So gold feels way low.
I think it's a teammate thing. I just went positive and lost again. Teammate went 2 and 25, other two quit a little earlier and were massively negative as well. Good stuff.

This game is a lot of fun and its making me feel better about a terrible day somewhat. So how come my Nightfall Armor isnt unlocked?
I'm very horrible at this game. My highest K/D in any online halo game was Reach, and it wasn't bad in 4, but I suck at this game.
Also how high do you have to be to stabilize? Can you be up, scope, then stabilize? Is everyone using auto or manual, I just need to learn how to do it.

I am trying to figure out where he is at the moment. Probably working at his job like some sort of reverse-unemployed person.

This is why we can't have nice things.
And I lost rank for the loss.

I really love how each weapon truly has its own role in the sandbox. There's a feeling that your decisions matter when swapping out a weapon.
It can actually hold its own against BR at mid-close range, but not against DMR at mid-long range. Perfect fit there.

This is me right now. Playing with such low people. I'll win and go up 11. Then I'll lose because someone went like 4-16 etc and I go down 9, win again but this time more closely and go up only 4 for win etc. I'm not saying I'm good at this game I'm not, but I'm almost certain now I'm ranked too low for some reason.
Yeah, in the early footage I hated the beeps and shit. Now I kinda like them. They could probably tone it down a tad but everything sounds really satisfying.
One of the many things I loved about Killzone 2 was the introduction (for me at least) of a kill sound: The legendary chirp.
In Halo 5 I'm addicted to it. I love it, especially on the kill.

I was doing poorly at first but got better as I started to play a bit more cautiously and find weapons I'm good with before going on the offensive. I'm using auto stabilize simply because I haven't gotten the hang of all the new movement controls yet and don't need another thing to worry about.

Just unlocked the Recruit BRN helmet; definitely my new favorite.

The sound design in general is actually really fantastic. There's a lot going on but I feel like that's how it should sound. You're in a battle, it's meant to be noisy. Just walking and jumping around sounds awesome, like you're actually in 1000kg suit of armour.
Also, dat grenade clink...

The dude is incredible with the Snipe, there's absolutely no denying that... The sexy sax that plays when he gets subs is what brings me back though.
Cool, I'm going to give it another shot when I get off of work, this sounds like solid advice.
No, the magnum is very close to being viable in any situation. It's shortcomings probably come from the flinch and ease of use of the autos. Oh and it's aim assist drops off pretty severely.
The magnum was my ToD in the early access and I made it to Pro rank (definitely not working properly), so it's definitely not a Halo 3 pistol.

I did stuff like that pretty regularly against pretty good players. It only felt completely worthless when I went up against the actual Pros, but I don't think a BR/DMR would have been any different for me, lol.

Has anyone been brave enough to use the new Default controller scheme? I've been using Halo 4 because MP isn't really a safe place to get the hang of new controls. Maybe when the game comes out, I'll play campaign in default and get the hang of it. Aiming with LT seems like it could lend a big advantage.

How so? Maybe on larger maps, but ADS is rarely ever a necessity on these maps.
I used it the whole time during the early access beta. Got so accustomed to it, it still tough going back to recon. Still have to fight the urge to hold stick down to sprint instead of press X. But this way, I've also cut down on the mindless sprinting I would do, as well as ADS for no reason when hip fire could serve me just as good.

I was thinking more for the advantage with using auto weapons in CQB. I haven't been able to use smart link with those weapons simply because it's too cumbersome to do so

Good games Elzar, Monkey, Robbert, Bobs and all the others. Felt real good.

ADS is basically useless in CQB, even for the autos. You'll just get knocked out of it.
Autos are still really unreliable for me and my shit connection, I usually just go for the shield strip and beatdown in CQB.

You get descoped in CQB so it doesn't really give an advantage

Not bad at all. Though you have to get used to letting go of LT and pressing it again to rescope. COD has ruined me in that regard
Just lost 16 points because I was forced to play a 3v4 because of a quitter.
I will never in a million years purchase this game if this is a real thing come full launch.
Not only am I getting shit matches giving me AT BEST 4 points per win, I'm stuck playing down a person with people still playing qualifying matches and losing my progress that I ALREADY lost because of a glitch from the early access beta.
Get this shit fixed now, so no one ever has to be this frustrated come next fall.

I'll be in med-school by Halo 5 launch. It would be best if I didn't anyways... I would LOVE to get invested into another ranking system on Halo. It's what kept me playing Halo 2 for years and years.
Something needs to be figured out for quitters though.
also... yeah, I probably will
