Do they have to go down the pay to win route though?
It's just lazy. Valve proved many wrong with Steam and their games in Russia etc.
If you go in with the mentality of people will just steal and hope to pray on gambling tendencies then I hope they fail.
Provide a great platform, great game, great features that make owning the game hard to resist and optional deeper non game changing customisations for extra revenue and replacing charging for map packs. It's not rocket science.

IMO with this already small population, a ranking system that matches with skill isnt a good idea. Searching will be long again etc.
You should get all achievements for completing Spartan Ops as an apology for experiencing it.

I think this is a bug. I played Spartan Ops on Legandary, and i get all achievement. ( Normal, Heroic, Legendary)
I guess I got into it really late, so I didn't experience the beginning pains.
Does anyone that complains ever actually read the documentation or code?

Can we stop regurgitating this rhetoric based on a blog post full of false information?
There's a glitch, where you just need to complete the 1st mission and Save & Quit the others. It will count as completed afterwards. This is how I got the achievements, but I don't know if it's patched already.

BRs on snow turf plays really nice
That's what I did.
Though even doing that was a chore. Entire mode is such a piece of crap. RIP Firefight.
Sprint on turf tho lol
It only has sprint right now, you can't access spartan abilities or perks.
So right now it isn't too bad but Sprint needs to be removed.

At least it's on PC so you can change that if you want and have a customs browser so you can play a proper game. Won't be able to say the same thing about Halo 5 probably.
God I fucking hope Halo 5 has a customs game browser, especially now that we have the option to turn off/adjust spartan abilities.

At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Halo 5 had no customs. They've already removed 4-player split screen. Here's hoping though, we've only been asking for it for years and years and years.
I think Josh said on the official forums that wasn't going to be in for 5 but they were thinking about it for the future and do actually want to do it.

Yeah. We'll see how it plays out, though.
Not only are customs confirmed, they're confirmed on dedis.

Customs on dedis. That's such a strange notion to me, but hopefully it's good!
At some Titanfall panel at pax east one year they said they wanted to do matchmaking with hashtags.
So basically say you want to organize a GAF only lobby. Just set your hashtag to #TitanGAF and you'd be matched up with people that also have that.
Now imagine you can do that for customs. Make a lobby and enable matchmaking with a password. #zombies and just play infection customs.

How small is the population ? Do we have number counts ? I can find matches very fast on H3..I really wonder how are the population charts for MCC and for each game..

Brilliant. I'm envisioning a hashtag cloud server browser now...

There was a thread on gaming side about a month ago. It was estimated that around ~14,000 people were still playing at that time. Which is actually pretty decent, considering how the game launched.
It'll be really great when the top trending gametype is #butts

For their one year anniversary, they made the season pass free like Halo used to do with its DLC. Support has been amazing, I still play the game. Almost at my Diamond rank.

HCS will never be big because there is no big interest anymore in Halo as a esport title. Its not the Consoles fault.
Thank you for your studied opinion and vast knowledge on this topic. Your future prognosis is surely correct.

Halo was one of the first and biggest esports in the early 2000's so people do like to watch it as a esport.

Have you seen the last couple of tournaments? What was the peak, 10k maybe? Thats laughable compared to CoD or other PC titles.
And some Halo pros werent that happy with H5 either.
That could be more true. We will see with H5. But i doubt that H5 will help that much.

Keyword "early 2000's"... 10 years later and it isnt the case anymore. Not with the actual game we have.
You have maybe 1 major pro who won't play Halo 5, and even then, he hasn't stated he won't. Most, if not all, top 8 pros have stated they liked/loved it (albeit in need of some changes).
Not to mention your "peak viewers" are wrong, it was 24k, which is not as high as CoD, but for a broken game and complete mishandling of the franchise, it's not that bad.
But continue to enlighten us with your fabricated insight.
What a great idea.
Is there any way to force the "Syncing Master Chief Collection Data" when you press A to join in on a lobby instead of when you open the Player ID? It means if the game resets your stuff, it can't fix the error when it syncs, because all of the stuff has been reset and it will default to that. Then when you leave the Player ID, it syncs the default stuff up as if you had set it. It's really fucking annoying at this point, because it happens every time I want to play split-screen.

basically, people like flashy/random stuff and it's very difficult to add those things to halo while trying to keep the devoted competitive side of the community happy.
OT: On the subject of "fancy" and flashy stuff, I think more games should allow it.

My peak Viewers arent wrong. At least not for the last recent tournament
The first tournament probably had 20k+ but since then? Nope.
Isnt there something to complain about at Beyond? Or why so agressive?
Dude, just stop. You're wrong. Stop trying to defend your misinformed "facts."
20 thousand people watch the prerelease tournament

I think that's a really important point. Halo, despite struggling for YEARS now, is still pulling an audience. A small audience, but it's something. If the franchise ever gets truly healthy again it could become a lot bigger.
