See, that's where the weapon spawn thing would have made sense. If there was a problem on when weapons spawning not being known, having the weapons drop in and get a waypoint would have made sense. Then teams would have had access to equal information.
Requesting personal ordnance would have been more unique and fun if it was only in Dominion. It's fun to be able to order vehicles, turrets, jammers and stuff in Section 8 Prejudice, but Section 8 also has it make sense by controlling the ordering with a currency system, and you can't successfully order something if you're under the area an enemy anti-air gun controls (it'll shoot down what you requested)

There's something to be said for playing games on easy (especially those in your back log)

It was a solace variant. Stick detonator spawns wall side perch and rail gun sun side perch. Bottom is completely blocked off. There was a nice jump made to the rail gun spawn and there was also a speed boost there. Really flowed well.
Cool. You can thank Nokyard for that one.

Yea I wish you could remove all of those boxes and crates. I also wish the bases were symmetrical. Map had huge potential.

The lighting changes for bases also helped overcome that initial moment of disorientation. Consistent weapon spawns was so nice. Gonna play more in a bit.

Both bases should have been like the waterfall base. Then it'd just need most of the stuff in the middle removed and some high ground on the sides. Dunno why it had to be asymmetrical.

Does anyone here actually care about CSR? Does anyone anywhere actually care about CSR.
Its not at all what the community wanted. Sure its ranks but external ranks are about as useful as writing what i think my ranks should be down on a notepad.

Yea I care.
It's not ideal by any means, it kinda sucks actually. But I'm gonna try and see how it goes, see if I play more seriously because of it.
Just curious, what do you think your rank should be?

I have never agreed with so so much.
I can see why many want such a thing, but I never really cared one way or another about ranks.

Yup but the best part is you benefit from ranks even when you don't care! Cause you get matched with people your skill and not level 50's in groups trolling against kids in social. Plus it encourages proper play.

But if the matching was based on trueskill and the ranking system is based on trueskill whats the difference? Actual question
Twilight Gap
Member
Personally, no. As long as I have proper trueskill matchmaking, I'll be fine.
With that said, I did enjoy ranking up in Halo 3 and I would have no problem doing it again. But if it's not in game, I don't see the point since it isn't much different from Halo Charts, Halo Tracker, or Meta Halo. I didn't use those, so I'm unlikely to bother with this one.

No rankation without representation!
"Non-ranked" playlists still have skill matching, though it's sometimes not as strict as "ranked" skill matching.
Something like CSR which isn't even a modification to the in-game interface will likely have no bearing on playlist functionality.

Easter Bunny and Santa Claus ranking systems, Real ranking system is four corners true. You are educated stupid. Read all about my belly button logic.
Well I got banned for posting a picture of Captain Price and not stating it was Captain Price...for two weeks. So that was super fucking lehm, as obviously that destroyed the Easter playdate which was being prepared so nicely.

Will be too busy getting my Grifty.
That's why i moved the bases to the side balconies of the map. In Flag games Solari is symmetrical. It wasn't really designed for Doubles Slayer since players will generally gravitate to their favourite (Railgun) base anyway. The next version addresses this issue in a unique way, if it ever gets deployed.

Drop me from that list Conor. I'm not going to be play Halo anytime soon.

The logistics and scheduling of getting 20 people on at once for a huge game like that is insane.
You need to just set a date ahead of time and let people who can make that date and time signup.

Smart thinking.
Well, when the next version goes up players will either think i'm brilliant, or a complete idiot, depending on their play style.
The two main problems with Slayer Pro on that map (other than the default Solace issues) are dominance of the Railgun balcony, and lack of map movement caused by dominance of the Railgun balcony.
I solved both issues using an unconventional method (thanks to Over), while keeping the Railgun on the balcony where it belongs. Hopefully it stays intact through test.

Are you not allowed to say what you did to it, or do you just want it to be a surprise?

The problem in a nutshell. Can't let skill triumph anymore. Every schmuck must win even if we have to fuck up gameplay and balance massively.
Why not just roll dice instead?
Just do this for every encounter next game.
