-DeucEy- Posted August 1, 2016 Due to work I can't ever stay up that late but I'd be down from 3pm - 9pm MST if you guys ever need one more Yeah we're planning to start playing during the day more, I'll definitely give you an add and send an invite sometime. I'm not playing tonight (have some design work to do for my job) but I might be playing tomorrow. But some of the other guys are playing tonight I believe.Go ahead and hit up @, I know he's playing. His gamertag is "OG Nick". Quote Share this post Link to post
SMARTAN 427 Posted August 1, 2016 We can just remove the Breakout commendations. Please Lord Jesus... Spare me of the Breakout commendations. They are the worst ones I have ever seen in Halo. Quote Share this post Link to post
SMARTAN 427 Posted August 1, 2016 Last time I mentioned it people were still trying to have the BR be the primary. Maybe it's changed since then, I don't really follow it. People changed their minds real quick once they saw the superior 4sk Magnum gameplay. BR starts has almost been forgotten, thankfully. Quote Share this post Link to post
XenonYoshi Posted August 1, 2016 Oh, firefight. Round 5 starts, spawns a bunch of promethean soldiers that we have to kill inside the armory on Urban (whatever). We kill them, then it spawns THREE warden eternals inside the fucking main base (in those little entrance pods where you cannot get any sort of angle on them if you're in a vehicle), and THEN puts an entire line of knight dignitaries with incins on the road in front of the base, then a bunch more knights + turret soldiers inside the base, staring at the two main doorways. This would be ******** even if each warden didn't require a battleships' worth of ammo to kill even if you hit the "weak spot". This is the kind of shit a 10 year old would come up with if they were trying to make a superimpossibrukaizo edition of their favorite video game. Do they spawn inside the armory or on the top? Before the update they spawned on the top and you could just splatter all 4 of the soldiers with a Banshee. Gives you 5-6 minutes on the Wardens which is typically still not enough Quote Share this post Link to post

arglactable Posted August 2, 2016 Out of curiosity, is searching Doubles solo worth it to anyone, or is it crammed with TO2s? No. Do not do it. Also, the good forge maps are out, so it's just terrible. Quote Share this post Link to post

NAK Posted August 2, 2016 So I don't think I was reading the forums when it was announced that Gears 4 would have completely different settings between Competitive and Casual play, even changing the auto aim between the different modes. This is the polar opposite approach 343 has taken with Halo. Personally, I believe it is the best way to make the entire community happy. The "one setting for the entire game" is a good idea, but I am not sure it has had the intended effect (HCS has not seen explosive growth by any means, and casuals still aren't very interested). I for one am very interested to see how this works out for Gears 4, and I hope that 343 are watching this very closely. Quote Share this post Link to post

Rick Posted August 2, 2016 I really don't get this games ranking system. I played all 10 placement games with 2 other guys. I was ranked 1700 Guy 1. was ranked 1630 Guy 2. was ranked Diamond 4 We all took turns doing well and doing poorly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
bunniesz23 Posted August 2, 2016 Add doubles. Replace every good forge map with complete ass like Empire. Great job, guys. Tbh, I wasn't the biggest fan of the forge maps in the doubles playlist. It's a team-shot heavy game and the maps were so segmented it favored hand-holding pretty heavily. That's not to say the default maps are better, just that I'd be surprised if the playlist took a big population hit due to the change. Quote Share this post Link to post

Unless they mean snap on aiming or something obviously different from just a smaller cone of magnetism. Quote Share this post Link to post
BigShow36 Posted August 2, 2016 I think changing fundamental things like auto aim is going too far. Unless they mean snap on aiming or something obviously different from just a smaller cone of magnetism. They should just have lower aim assist in all modes, but seeing the reluctance of developers to do that, this is the next best thing. Quote Share this post Link to post
siddysid Posted August 2, 2016 I might've missed it because I was skimming quickly to get through all the bullshit, but how does one join the reclaimer settings group? Is there a discord? Also, what the fuck is discord? Will never understand 343's insistence on 5v5, unranked, mostly BTB snipers. Literally the worst possible way to play. Is it too much to ask for 4v4 ranked arena snipers? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Yes, there is a Discord server for it; invite link can be found in my signature or here: https://discordapp.com/invite/6h7vw6E You can also post your GT in the Halo 5: Guardians Classic Customs Thread to get added to that list and get some lobby invites. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Is it too much to ask for 4v4 ranked arena snipers? Just add people that play it. There's a thread with a large list of GTs and there's the discord. If you post in the discord saying you want to play and post your GT you will probably get an invite. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
