Not a bad strategy, actually, considering how randos like to sprint straight over there. Did it work?

Yeah, it's bad. Feels like just reducing the effect of shadows on players would help a lot. Same with weapons.

I'm with Ram, Breakout should be Magnum starts only. I'm also not wild about BRs on the maps. In the games I played the BR players ruled and/or resulted in turtling. I'd also be in favor of shortening the round time to encourage more of a break-neck pace.

I've got one other friend in Breakout with me. Anyone wanna join? GT is Jellycrackers
I did.
I really life Regret and Eden. Regret plays a bit more fast paced and the hydra in bottom mid creates more interesting scenarios because you can get pushed from 4 directions when you pick it up. Also idk if its just me but I love the power weapon set up on Eden. The sightlines are great for sniping and the sword is actually pretty useful in the cqb. Overall I think I like both of them better than Truth and Empire.

So BR start is way more fun that AR start.

I'm hopping on for a little bit, but I probably won't be using my mic. Bae's over.

No medal list yet.
We'll have to make our own. So far my standouts that I recall:
Reversal: Get shot first, kill the guy. (Must be full shields?)
Brawler: Win a melee duel?
Longshot: I got it by Magnum killing enemy at spawn from my spawn, on Truth.
Topgun: First to 10 kills on your team I think.
Last shot: Kill an enemy with the last round of a magazine.
Clusterluck: Two or more kills with one grenade
Hat Trick: Three headshot kills in a life
Perfect: Kill an enemy, full shields, with least amount of bullets possible.
I'm glad comeback medal was axed. If I knew what the other medals meant I could weigh in on them.
Last shot is my favourite so far. It does what the Close call medal tries to do and does it better. Really lets you know you got by ever so barely.

Longshot is just getting a killing from long range with a non sniper.

I've gotten Hard Target a few times. I think it's surviving a specified number of close calls in one life.
Is that Gun Punch?

The midship/empire variants feel completely different. Any opinions on the Light Rifle yet?

I love it for long range, but it's pretty pitiful when unscoped. I wish there was a big, open map to play with it on. It would make a good sniper counter.
It's for hitting doing a combination of actions when killing someone. Can't remmeber wheat they are though
No.

Eden is a shit map. What is with the visuals of this game? It as if they dont want us to see wtf we are trying to shoot. Everything is dark and hazy looking. It has this soft light to it that just looks bad. Take H2A visuals add them to H5 thank you in advance. Eden is a huge cluster fuck of ramps, ledges, and rooms to camp in. Halo needs simple maps, clean look, less clutter, and a good flow.

I actually like all the maps apart from crossfire, which looks like something a 14 year old whipped up in forge.

I'm mixed on BR/Magnum starts because while yes, you can just use the BR and be successful like how most people will play lol, but the Magnum is not good enough to keep as a secondary so I actively seek out a replacement. Replacing the Magnum with an AR, for example, and having the BR was a great combination, but at the same time it may devolve into BR fests too much to bother with BR starts, so it may be better for everyone with a beefed up Magnum for AR/Magnum spawns.
- BR/Magnum spawns there's still a reason to replace the Magnum for a better weapon.
- BR/AR spawns would translate to not picking up other weapons.
- AR/Magnum spawns are not effective enough.

lol k/d is the last thing you should be worrying about in this beta. it's all over the place.
The itch is real...
This makes me so happy. I loved Bungie's awesome skyboxes, I'm glad 343 is using actual models instead of compressed .jpgs.
Trying to play some H2A or CE or anything on MCC matchmaking, for the first time since beta started...
Cannot get a single match to load. Sessions full, Failed to Connect, etc etc. We saw some other gamertags show up briefly, but not enough to reach minimum player count. And then that lobby fell apart too. That last patch sure seems to have undone some things.

at least I finally have Beamish. He's even making the same face that I do when matchmaking fails
GGs zoojoo and Rev3rb, had a lot of fun.
I really like Eden. I don't know what it is but its much more fun than empire.
Regret is just as good as Truth but for different reasons. I like them both for different reasons.
The hydra is fun but weird, still not used to it yet.
Breakout is fun, but doesn't fit well into the sandbox, especially with how op the SMG is. As ram said, maybe with a pistol only spawn it would be more fun but right now I'm not 100% on board.
BR spawn feels so much better too. I've been a bit off the last couple of games but its been laggy as hell. Idk, hopefully it's a bit better for me tomorrow.
Overall, I still love the game. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun in Halo.

I swear you were arguing with me that you can't see shit on Eden. Maybe it was someone else.

22-13 for me. One dude went 3-19. Another guy quit at like zero. The final one went about even. wtf.
Not me.

Try to look at the bright side. As your rank decreases and other players settle into their ranks, you could get paired with opponents who are as bad as your teammates, making you a god amongst men. From there you could rise through the ranks to the rank you truly deserve (in theory, if you keep playing long enough)
Did you get -30 performance points for not overcoming the challenge and besting your enemies single-handedly?
Lol I only lost 12 points but honestly, any more than like 5 is too many in a situation like that IMO. I was gold 2 and they were all onyx except for the one gold 3.
