Mr Grim Posted September 28, 2019 Elites were offense on some maps. Spire they were defense. Which I thought was a better invasion map than boneyard but I didn't hate it at all. I still think breakpoint was fun a hell but I almost never had it show up in the rotation. Quote Share this post Link to post
Basu Posted September 28, 2019 Boneyard was an insanely terrible map. Spire also sucked but not as much. Both were atrocious for BTB. Breakpoint on the other hand was a fantastic Invasion map and also worked decently well for BTB. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Game was very influential. Gears 5 though you're absolutely right. That game is going to die very quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post

AAA is dying I never said Gears is smashing numbers, but Gears just got a new game, and it did okay on Twitch this month. Overwatch on the other hand is extremely healthy. Top 10 on Twitch for like years now, and with Grand Finals coming up, those numbers will be even better. I'm not sure how this makes me a troll when I'm not anything close to that. I never said FPS games are on a hype train, the joke is that Gears and CoD are focused on their new games, Rainbow and OW are healthy, and BR's are just as popular as ever, while in the Halo community we're discussing sandbags in a game that launched 9 years ago. Calm down man. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

I've seen words get overused to the point of losing their power (amazing, hilarious, etc), but I've never seen something used so precisely incorrectly, so often, for so long, that the entire meaning of the word has flip flopped, and now there is no replacement for it. It truly is remarkable. 5 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Arlong Posted September 29, 2019 Overwatch does really good all things considered. Gears 5, yeah that games not going anywhere. Cod, hard to say, but it’s events get decent views of 30-50k so I’d say not so bad. I really want infinite to be an amazing game, and I wonder if it can pull it off.

Idk why “literally” bothers me so much. Probably because it’s so perfectly wrong, and the user is usually trying to sound smart or make a strong point, and for me, it always just erases whatever they’re trying to say. I also hate “I could care less” for similar reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post
BR N00b Posted October 1, 2019 I hate to interrupt the unceasing semantic debate that this thread has devolved into; but In attempt to get this thread back on topic, I thought I would post some actual MCC news. Less than 30 minutes I received an email from 343 Industries stating that I have been invited to the next Halo: Reach multiplayer flight testing on the Xbone, which "should begin in the coming days." Hopefully this isn't a violation of 343's TOS, but I thought people would be interested in this announcement. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

Absolutely, I realize that posting this might not technically be allowable per the TOS, but I will not be discussing much else in a public forum until 343i gives the all clear. However, 343i did allow people to stream (what I believe to be) the initial Reach PC flight on Twitch. This is notable, because back when they first introduced the new "flight" system to "fix" MCC, once they allowed people to stream the flights, they also lifted the moratorium on discussing these flights in public places on the internet. I do appreciate the concern SOUL FLAME . Quote Share this post Link to post
