So what is the consensus? Worth 60? 50? 40?

Yes I got into Diamond tier on SWAT, big fricking mistake.


10 games isnt nearly enough to set tiers, especially this early. It will mess up a lot of people. Guys who were mid level players who get 10 games against pure beginner scrubs are going to look amazing, and get placed with guys they can't compete against.

Also, if you can't be bumped down, how does the top 200 work? Just expands every time there is a player worthy to enter?

It is intriguing reading all of this. I want to play H5, but I have no interest in multiplayer anymore. This doesn't look any better than Reach or 4 to me. However, I will always want to follow the campaigns.

More lore = awesome, in my eyes.

For the record, H2 will forever be my favorite game. Oh how I miss those days, it was so addicting. I miss you jerksnipe, super jumps, bxr, and sticky grenade mechanics.

Now I'm old and married.

Melee from behind and hold melee.
Generally better off not performing assassinations due to the danger it presents.

Is anyone having issues with their scores being recorded?

I've won 5 games in a row on swat and it is saying that i still have 8 games left before i am placed in a tier.

Is my internet just sucking?

Better practice i suppose.

Swat playlist is totally fricked.

On Halo Waypoint my ranks and recs are still there, but after I got Onyx in Swat, I turned my xbone off to take a break, and came back to everything being reset.

So I guess it's back to the 4v4 H1 playlist on MCC...

I had something along the lines of 16 accounts. Started a lot of 1 months for the hell of it. Also, boosting.

Only ones I can remember are CGi x sTiCk and iShottiedCobain.

When I plug in my computer(dead as a doornail) I'll try to look em up and link them. I wish I could remember more gamertags.

I got pissed at that Cobain account. I had a 78-0 winning streak in team doubles when I started it. But only leveled up to 26. Weirdest crap I've ever seen with the ranking system. Never reached 50 on it because of that.

My gt in H2 was Heinous Act. I only ever reached 38. But anyone who seriously played it knows getting higher than that was almost impossible without bridging host so you could boot modders, and to protect yourself from getting booted by other bridgers.

Edit: CGi x sTiCk iShottiedCobain

Those 2 accounts had 2763 sticks by themselves.

Heinous Act fwiw Can't tell much from an H2 record. My k/d wasn't great, mainly because I always tried to stick people. That sometimes required a suicide mission...

Multiplayer seems too arcady 5 matches in. Adding that B button burst is so beyond poor.

Seems better than 4 but I can't imagine this will have a very long shelf life.

Those are some glorious stats muh dude. But 16,000 sticks?

I'm taken aback about how you said you were competing in H3, and you didn't know anyone who played on a look sensitivity less than a 6...

Literally every H3 professional that is worth mentioning used 3-4, with MAYBE one oddball 5.

Understand that the greatest Halo player ever, Ogre 2 (this is not debatable), used 4 sensitivity while he was wrecking the world with the rest of Final Boss in H3.

Casm?

The sensitivity thing is just my experience. I normally played higher than anyone else though, for the record.

I will admit that I never actually made it to a tourney. Most of the tourneys that year were scheduled for when my work was the busiest. 75% of my income for the year came from May to July. We did scrimmage with several teams though. Was at least able to do that.

And yes, 16,000 ish. Give or take 500. I didn't believe it myself when I added it up. Just can't remember the exact number.

quote:

greatest Halo player ever, Ogre


Eh....probably.

Edit: Dug through my best friends playing record, as well as the 3 other guys I played with the most. Was able to find a few more of my booster accounts.

ll Heinous ll 636 sticks

xil snipe lix 1,187 sticks

xl Heinous lx 2,129 sticks.

This was my second best account rankwise. CGi x Skill 1,197 sticks

l Heinous l 727 sticks

KingBunni 797 sticks

oO HeiNous Oo 406 sticks

EfUImNotFromNH 257 sticks

iBeatDownCaeser 1,182 sticks

Found Another 2
CGi x Bunni 384

vV Heinous Vv 343 sticks

That is not all of them. Still trying to dig to see if I can find the rest. Those, plus the first two, bring the total sticks to 12,008. With a minimum of at least 3 more accounts I don't remember.

If nothing else, I am posting these so I will have them listed somewhere and I don't have to dig for them again.

Alright, finished campaign last night. It was fun, but way way way too short. They basically gave you half a campaign, build up this great climax point, and roll credits

Of course they are setting up either DLC or the next game, but frick them. Make a complete campaign.

Enjoyed the few pvp games I did. Realized the 10 game thing only applied to arena and not warzone like 4 games in, so sorry teams that I did not help Does anyone know if that will ever reset or re-evaluate, or is it pretty much stuck where you get ranked?

With the ability to revive it makes Halo 5 on legendary pretty easy. But I have beaten all the Halo's on legendary so maybe that's just me.

Oh you have to be kidding me...

frick 343, and Bungie for Reach.

Stop trying to make the game easier for bad players to be good. It doesn't work, and all it does is make the good players want to stop playing.

We did Heroic. It wasn't terrible. The enemies are definitely pretty good shots, especially the snipers. We were dying a good bit. It does feel like you have less health in this game, though that is probably because of the revive.

I'm on the fence whether I like the revive or not. I don't feel like it really ruined anything, because the revive takes long enough that you can very easily get killed trying to revive people.
