Gun Punch!

Ian got a "Hard Target" medal a couple of days ago. We weren't sure what it was, but assumed it was something like a Killjoy but related to time, not KD.

Acc. to a waypoint post (so take it as you will), "Hard target is a survival medal, awarded for recharging your shields ten times in one life."

I'll just care about my KDA entirely instead of CSR, because it will be stuck in Iron I forever. Avoid solo q at all costs average players.

It's very deadly at range if you are accurate, 4 shot kill if I'm correct, but absolutely useless vs pretty much all other weapons below mid range, it's like a slower version of DMR.
Coupple of sound bugs:
- Shouldn't Steitzer always say YOUR team score first and not the lowest score first after each round?
- Weird moaning after the game.
- If a dead body is stuck in the blue barrier, it will make a very loud crackling noise.
- Progression sound doesn't stop and goes on forever. Had to restart the game.
- Steitzer saying 1on2 several times.
I'll post this later in the bug/feedback thread with videos and sound.

It was not people in the lobby, I muted them all to test.

Breakout mode, which is pretty cool and can be very intense. I like it.
The bases and outside are more or less the same, lol.
Nice; been looking forward to trying that out.

Eden and Regret have some pretty wonky sightlines. I might just not be used to them yet, but they play super weird - especially Eden. With Regret at least you know that the other team will be rushing the Hydra when it spawns, giving it a semblance of flow, but with Eden I just don't get that feeling.
Can't believe they wasted ressources for that map...
There's a lot more paths, a lot less reliance on thrusters.
I have played it once, but I like it more than empire
(mind you my team absolutely crushed the other team 50-8, so i may be biased from a good result)

So what's the hydra, and is it any good?
It's a lock on missile launcher and through my use... seems very risk:reward
The map plays completely differently with the changes though. Not sure I like it yet.

Blue is favored on both Eden and Regret, they blend into the darker areas way better, Xbone's crushed black doesn't help either.

Yeah, I was going to point this out too. Reds don't blend in with sunlight on metal the way blues do in dimly-lit rooms with the only illumination coming from some basic incandescent lights and bluish sparks.

Not a fan of Breakout, just doesn't feel right. Other shooters always have some type of objective tied to it. For example, CS has bomb/hostage or in CoD there's the bomb in SnD.
People play really defensively since there is no reason for aggression. Most of my matches have been really boring. Nobody wants to make a move, and the first person that does is generally picked off and it gives the other team the advantage.
Just my two cents, back to slayer.

Still can't get the Halo 5 beta to work and neither can my friend, together or separately. 'Power cycling' the xbox means turning it off and back on I assume? Same issue as yesterday, game finds players then fails to launch the match.
From last night, I totally meant for this sticky to just stay in the window, but it had better ideas.

And, I see a lot of people saying hover is useless, but I don't feel that way.

Situational, but definitely adds something nice to the gameplay, IMO.
Henery, I think they mean a hard reset, which is holding the power button on the console in until it shuts off.

I don't like the animation and sound of the BR. Looks like a DMR.

From my several kills with it I think it's 4?
3 in scope, no idea unscoped.
