Okay that tribute.. Good shit. @@Sal1ent

[SweetNSavery]

Lots of good shit coming in.

[Mr Grim]

They didn't do much rebalancing so much as fixing bugs, would've appreciated more, also the Spartans never walk alone pack and having those girls names in the sky is incredibly considerate and heartfelt.

[Teriyaki]

Seems like these are all supposed to be individual playlists. Wonder what the idea behind it is, given the population is what it is.

 

 

 

 

And it also seems like THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO ADJUST THEIR MATCHMAKING PARAMETERS.

 

 

 

:weback: halo is sev boys

"Judgement-free" seems ambitious

Reach grenade launcher or riot. That should replace the plasma castor on every map.

holy shit man, Warzone Firefight?  also noticed in the patch notes that we can mute the lobby ...

Can anybody who talks with 343 people a lot ask if the new social playlists have background ranks still or not? 

[iTz 26]

I'm VERY excited for Warzone Firefight

[Moa]

 

 

new perk

[Shanez1215]

Wouldn't that just be Halo 2 with only half of the levels?

And forced elites in multiplayer :kappa

Praying it's not 1 hit ko ground pound

[zZunair]

Praying it's not 1 hit ko ground pound

Oh I am

I imagine they would. It makes sense to still have skill matching on unranked playlists, for overall better player experiences. Normal and even supercasual ARAM unranked games of LoL have it. Previous Halo titles had it, I'm pretty sure.

[RyanW]

I can see Hog Wild having Race and Memories of Reach doing something like the Grenade Launcher and Noble Team armor

[My Namez BEAST]

THE RAILGUN IS NOW HITSCAN WHAT THE FUCK NOOOOOOOO

 

AND THE GAUSS TURRET? OH MY FUCK

Well I was getting "Unable to match" in social flag so I don't know about a better player experience. 

 

Halo 2 and 3 did not have background ranks in the social playlists btw.

Do you mean from any height or something, cause they are already a one hit kill. Maybe it does more damage to vehicles or something (or just more damage in general making them more powerful at any height)

[zZunair]

DOES THIS MEAN MY RAIL WONT EAT SHOTS AT LEAST

[aPK]

THE RAILGUN IS NOW HITSCAN WHAT THE FUCK NOOOOOOOO

 

AND THE GAUSS TURRET? OH MY FUCK

 

They already have so much projectile magnetism that it makes sense for them to be made hitscan. Think of how many times you've been shot through walls and around corners by those things, especially the Railgun.

[RyanW]

Heads up: I counted 5 spartans in the Warzone Firefight teaser. Looks like we aren't limited to just 4 man co-op

Good. I feel like it was only limited to 4 players in 2009 and 2010 because of the networking model and of course, the technology at the time.

But now it's gonna be that much crazier especially at long ranges. They just buffed the Whiplash even more.
