this game is primarily played from the hip while those games are fall heavily on ADS. the hip fire aim assist in this game is no comparison to the assist you get ADSing in those games.

So because a skin existed in a separate game 10 years ago they're not allowed to sell it in the store of their brand new f2p game because…🤷🏻♂️
Oh I have issues with the fact we can't earn any currency whatsoever in the BP. The fact it doesn't expire is kinda moot when the season is six freakin months long.
That's not even close to the only reason it's bad.
the monetization of customization aside, the challenge based progression system is flawed to the core. Like having to win 3 games of CTF, but only playing it 3 times in 20 searches, each time getting 3 teammates who don't care about winning because they have counter productive challenges of their own- it's just really frustrating as a player with no control over their own experience.
like, even if 343 didn't stand to make a dime from this system, it would still a god-awful way to define player progress
I've got to get 10 cindershot kills to finish my challenges this week. Haven't seen one in 4hrs of play today. Just happened to get spnkrs instead. Bad luck if the draw.

This is a great video, I didn't even realize it was so inconsistent. I really hope they consider improving aim assist, the current set up makes too much of a skill gap. They don't have to return to how it was in Halo 3, but somewhere in between that and where it is now would be nice, especially if they fixed the inconsistency.
Agreed, I don't want heavy aim assist, I want it to be consistent. It varies hard between and in matches and across weapons which makes it a mess to figure out. There's nothing more infuriating to be on someone, make a small adjustment and then it goes completely haywire. That's extremely evident with the commando in close quarters.
All this talk about aim assist has me wondering... how does CoD handle MnK vs Controller? Both in competitive and Pro play?
I never heard anyone talking in any game ever 200 matches and nobody talks. I looked at the configs and enabled my mic and nothing too
Maybe it's the inconsistencies that are throwing me off. It feels like sometimes there is no aim assist at all, other times it's like I'm slinging a rocket around the moon's gravity and I fly right off.
Same way, but the ttk is so low it benefits m&k more.
I'm not too sure about the scene but I'm thinking of Warzone. It's possible CoD esports is on console only. Prior games had no cross play and pretty dead PC scenes.
Behemoth CTF features a lot of cool stuff, the map is ass but it can be fun when using equipments.
They should release a smaller version of the map called Behemoth Lite making it more spartan friendly, smaller and without so many rocks, but keeping the bases and mid/bottom mid portion of the map
This is one of the best plays i have ever done in any halo game:

And this is one of my favourite uses of the grappleshot in the entire game, its an instant win if you use it properly:

I play at Onyx level which is why I might get more people using mic, but virtually every single person using mics just whines all fucking match. I only seem to win matches when we're all mute lol
Can't leave or you get banned.
Can't report your team because everybody else is literally doing what the game is TELLING them to do (do THIS challenge to get XP; objectives don't matter).
On that note, game still doesn't properly keep track of which team you're on, whether you win or lose, so that matters even less so why would they care?
"YES I GOT 10 RAVAGER KILLS I'M FREEEEE-" well actually your opposing team dropped half their members because it was the mode they didn't want and your only kills were bots so they didn't count *clicks tongue*.
That last one was last night. There should be a law.
I have the same experience. It's bizarre that I have heard literally not a single person in random matches that it seems broken. Every other FPS I play on PC has lots of talking when there's built-in voice chat. Not here though.
in ranked arena? I hear someone half the time. (onyx).
they're mostly assholes though.
It's dead quiet most of the time. Nobody uses mark either, wish I could put it on a paddle as up on the dpad sucks.
Like is it so smooth due to video encoding or? Nice play! No recoil due to spectator mode I presume?
I've had a couple games where people were talking, but not much. And I'm thankful for that tbh. Has been refreshing not hearing little kids shouting profanity, heated "pro gamers" cursing out their teammates for not being as good as them, people singing, heavy breathers on open mics, etc.
The mark / call out feature (up on dpad) replaces most of what you'd need voice chat for. Just wish more people would actually use it.
Speaking on never hearing people talk; I only BTB for the most part and hear people talk in about 20 percent of my games. It's not super common but I haven't heard too much negative crap. Just people laughing and goofy stuff, but it isn't sweaty ranked so that's just the vibe.
You can that's what I did.
And I use my mic about half the time when I play ranked. 80% of the time nobody joins me but I do think people listen because they sometimes go to my callouts.
You ply with console players who use party chat. Most of the time Xbox players are in party chat with their other friends (if they are the talkative type) even if those friends aren't playing with them.
Party chat kind of killed the random team with microphones.
Jesus did they retune the SBMM or something? Something got fucky with the netcode? Their metrics told them good players were having just a little too much fun?
Game feels unbearable in Solo/Duo ranked all of a sudden, literally hitting a wall at Diamond V and then I look and see Onyx on the other team, even when we win I barely get any rank up because I went negative. Suddenly feels like half my BR shots are desync'd and I'm losing fights that should be 100% in the bag for me, what gives
The default aiming in H5 was utter garbage.

Yes it was they literally had insane fucking deadzones and minimal aim assist to make the game more "e-sports ready" and then they unhid the deadzone options like a year+ into its release to make the aim somewhat tolerable.
The default aiming in H5 was utter garbage.
I doing respectively decent all things considered while down with two bots as replacements while the other human goes 'My team sucks, you guys suck' over and over.
I wish they had menu accessible mute options, because I don't want to dead the chatter completely in case I get some serious about getting mid game organization. But damn, feels like the troglodytes from the 360 era popped out of ice for this release.
Melee system is really bad. It's just so inconsistent. I'll be facing someone's back, meme and it won't count as a back snack. Other times I'll melee and it won't connect for me but for the other player it does. Or my spartan will just hit the air, no lunge or anything.
Make it make sense.
Make it make sense.
I'm unranked, but so far playing mostly with Gold players. So that might be it.
Maybe that's it then. Since PC historically doesn't have the built-in chat, in-game voice chat always seems to get used heavily.
Sucks that it works out this way here though.
Today I've been having just an extremely frustrating time playing. Baddd lag issues, bad teammates, bad game types. I just played a match where all 3 of my teammates quit about 30 seconds in and the bots were never replaced. The gameplay is great but definitely has some work needed in other areas. I wish they ditched the free to play thing and just went full completed game at $60. I feel like I'm playing a beta still at times.
There isn't a game out where in a ranked game you don't get punished when people quit. It's the downside of those sort of game modes in general. If you go down a person and lose you lose points. The only difference you could ask for is to lose less when that happens.
Oh is it? I thought they said beta was over. We'll that'd make sense if it is haha
Edit: Google says the beta will end on Dec 8th
You'd have this issue even more with a paid game, as it's unlikely the game would have the amount of people playing that it does.
Why can't they add bots (spartan) but they don't count towards kills for slayer? Maybe for both sides. Bots now just get farmed for easy wins.
Launch Countdown Timers + 20,000 posts
Well here we are... 20,000 posts in the OT before the campaign even launches.
I'm super excited to discuss the campaign with you all later this week! Until then I'll be doing 6 daily multiplayer missions as I have no other challenges left to push me to get XP. I'm also almost done with the Battle Pass, with only purchasing the Battle Past (progresses you to level 25) but hoping to grind out more content with the upcoming events they have planned for us.
As we're now over 20,000 posts the current plans for the OT going forward are:
