They did for BTB a good while ago, but don't know about the other ones. The team balancer is still active though so it's possible to match people around your skill level.

I think they made it so only To3 could match solos, but I'd have to double check.

Odd coincidence, but I matched that guy last night in MCC.

Since this thread is bumped, here is a BTB refresh feedback thread if anyone still plays. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/58b8518e005f432381ab99fbcaf931e0/topics/big-team-battle-refresh-feedback/90a6d9b0-fbac-4ab8-aa95-eb7c50d36ac9/posts

Unyshek said it's not going to be armor, but just something to show their appreciation.

It was supposed to be for new players to get accustomed to the game, but it's probably just where sweaty players go to warm up.

It is. They couldn't kill BTB with regular Warzone for three years, but they're finally doing it by injecting Warzone weapons into BTB. They must be so happy considering we couldn't even get BTB at launch or any dev maps cause I'm sure they thought Warzone would replace it.

Playlist and skill matching updates as well as implementing quit bans. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/84ad72a8b51847978545f685f651fc15/topics/mcc-patch-notes-10-10-2018/e566de6c-c1ef-4222-8a3c-72f3d8257305/posts

As probably the only 152 douche here, the amount you have to grind to get it is terrible and the reward is shit. I'd take a weapon skin or an average looking helmet over an emblem.

It's only a possibility so far. BTB people brought it up on Waypoint and Unyshek responded giving us the option of the stabilizer jets BR or the magnum. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/6e35355aecdf4fd0acdaee3cc4156fd4/topics/battle-rifle-tuning-for-btb-and-warzone/794a91bd-e47b-46fb-b5df-43e8ac9bfd41/posts

The BTB playlist could possibly get a BR variant (stabilizer jets) or the magnum as the starting weapon. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/6e35355aecdf4fd0acdaee3cc4156fd4/topics/battle-rifle-tuning-for-btb-and-warzone/794a91bd-e47b-46fb-b5df-43e8ac9bfd41/posts?page=3#post54

H4 didn't have orbital attacks, right? I was playing CTF on Exile and I saw three big white streaks drop straight down in succession next to each other. I was thinking rockets, but it was from up high and it would have to reload. A drop pod would only do one unless three people did it at the same time which I don't think would be common and to also have them land next to each other. I don't know it was just weird. I tried to watch in theater, but my game didn't record it. One thing I did miss while playing it was the dexterity mod.

I think the views are partly because it's just a new game that people are checking out. I'd rather see how it does in the long term.

Was wondering when it would happen, but glad it wasn't me that did it.

It's only mentioned in his tweet below. While 343 has had their issues with the community, I don't really think they would sink that low and do something like that.

Some new concept art that was tweeted by Greenskull. The base is giving me Warzone vibes.

73.70GB update.

Didn't even know Quietman was banned.

What the hell is that guy talking about? Starting with a BR isn't going to automatically make it a sweat fest the same way an AR isn't going to make it casual. If someone wants to go tryhard, they're going to do it with whatever weapon they start with.

If you're lucky, you'd get maybe 3 or 4. It can also help people going for armor since they give out more RP, but I'm not really surprised about that since they have a money option for just about everything.

Thanks, it seems to be working so far.

I've been getting that same error screen today whenever I come here with JavaScript turned off. I was gonna ask if maybe it was related to that, but I'm not sure now since someone else also got that screen.

Is Twitch messing up today? I was watching the Fortnite tourney and the streams kept going offline after about a minute. I tried lowering the quality which helped, but it eventually went offline again.

My interpretation of it is that it depends on who you play. If you're beating people the system expects you to beat, then you aren't going move up very much. It might go up more if you play beyond the system's expectations of you (more than consistent) or you play tougher opponents and win. On the other side, if you lose to people when the system expects that you would lose, but you play better than the system expected, your MMR can go up despite your CSR moving down and you'll get a bigger CSR gain on your next win when appropriate. We should also keep in mind that the inflation issue is affecting a lot of people this season so you might only get +1/-15 gains/losses until your CSR and MMR are in sync. I think it should be resolved once they reset the ranks sometime next week.

I'm expecting them to one-up themselves and give us armor skins beyond what they did in H5, so pizza themed helmet and body armor is in the works.
