Brutality Posted November 30, 2015 So tomorrow is December 1st. Doesn't that mean ranks are getting reset and the "first" season of arena begins? Why have we not heard anything about this since launch? Quote Share this post Link to post

Moa Posted November 30, 2015 super slayer is tu reach right? How much different is it? Super Slayer is just TU Reach, yup. 85% bloom on precision weapons and the Magnum Armour Lock nerf enabled Camo nerf enabled Sword Block removed Before it was removed (due to the bug), Bleedthrough was also enabled so players could melee and shoot directly into a players health. This is actually still enabled in MLG and Anniversary playlists. Quote Share this post Link to post

This is actually still enabled in MLG and Anniversary playlists. I am so ready for backwards compatible Reach. Halo 5 will be a distant memory for me once that drops. Additionally, I saw a HaloFollower YouTube post that mention Halo 5 was by far the weakest in physical copies sales in the series, by half and even with digital sales added it's still by far the weakest--didn't 343 or Microsoft claim it was the best in history? Also curious if people that were upset with MCC really spoke with their wallets or was it just a lack of general interest in the Halo series lately? I hope it was the former reason. I wasn't disciplined enough to resist Halo 5, but good for those who were and hopefully it's sending a message. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

This is actually still enabled in MLG and Anniversary playlists. IIRC, Bleedthrough was removed from TU Gametypes because of fan feedback, people were really disoriented from playing non-melee bleed throughout all of Reach's lifespan. At least that was what I can remember, because it was an intentional addition for the TU. Quote Share this post Link to post
TeeJaY Posted November 30, 2015 For the update they'll reset ranks, improve ranking across the board, and add party restrictions. That's not too much to ask, right? Quote Share this post Link to post

I think ms said like half of halo 5s sales were digital or something, which is an oddly high number, going by the npd numbers, if that's true than it sold 1.8 million copies in the first few days, which isn't very strong for a halo game.

Infinity Posted November 30, 2015 reset ranks, improve ranking across the board Just going to note that this will happen even if 343 doesn't touch the system at all. The current population (probably Platinum and up) will be redispersed, meaning its going to be a lot harder to get the hardest ranks. The system naturally funnels people in the middle of the skill range so I'm interested to see people getting knocked down a Division or two and having to work their way up in a more competitive population. However, I doubt we'll be receiving Party Restrictions. I honestly would be okay if they made the Max Party size for Team Arena 2 players. Quote Share this post Link to post

Il Meanbean lI Posted November 30, 2015 Can I just say that I enjoy Halo 5? Cause I really do.Same. Needs some tweaking but it's damn good regardless. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Cooper Posted November 30, 2015 For how much they "borrowed" from COD and destiny it baffles me how they missed out on how uneven skill MM is important to those games. Social in halo is important not only because it gives competitive players a refuge from caring about thier rank but also because it gives a more enjoyable cadence of opponent skill level to non competitive gamers. If you take your averagr gold player(h3 commander) and throw him into perfect ranked MM where he only plays people of his skill level he won't enjoy it as much as social. In ranked he'l have a 50% win loss and a 1.00 kd and in social he'l have the same because he'l land in the middle of the skill curve. But he'll have more fun in social because somrtimes he'll dominate a game. Its more fun(for non competitive players) to dominate every once in awhile even if it comes at the expense of being dominated than it is to play 1.00 k/d games every game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

At least that was what I can remember, because it was an intentional addition for the TU. They can claim it was fan feedback all they want. The bleedthrough bug was a huge oversight and they didn't want to dedicate any resources to fixing it so they cut it instead in the playlists that didn't need it. If it was player disorientation, then they would have reverted bloom back too. Quote Share this post Link to post

NDP numbers included bundles. Halo 5 copy in a bundle is a digital download. So even with a high digital percentage of sales it doesn't increase the number of copies sold by that much. Many or most of the digital downloads are already counted in NDP numbers. Quote Share this post Link to post

The thing about initial sales though is that they don't show if a game is bad or not. The poor sales can be attributed to MCC and Halo 4. Player retention and post launch sales are what should be looked at if you are wary of getting a game. Quote Share this post Link to post

I think I remember them saying it was intentional in one of the pre-TU talks. Bloom was generally accepted amongst general fans (outside of #adapt activists) I'm pretty sure.
