The initial push was necessary. Now, it's just wanting free stuff in a free game for doing nothing and it's highly unrealistic.

As I assumed. Not touching the Fire and Frost set now.
A color and weapon color for $20. Yeesh. I get there's other crap like emblems/name tags.
This as a weapon emblem.
They really shouldn't do BTB challenges with how broken it is right now.
It is frustrating to get in matches.

i just played a bot match and got the emblem, so i can confirm it works
You've got me 100% wrong... (not surprising). And it's because you refuse to address the ACTUAL problem.
I personally don't play for progression. I play because I enjoy the gameplay. This I why I put up with not getting the gametypes I need.
However, progressing is important to a lot of people. For many, progressing is a part of the joy, just like getting a headshot or tossing the perfect grenade.
343 has created a system that provides an INCENTIVE for these people to negatively impact MY gameplay experience. Many people aren't going to play through 5 hrs of the wrong gametypes and settle for the 50xp. They aren't going to watch their xp boosts go down the drain. They are just going to quit and let their teammates deal with 3v4 or shitty bots. I want to have fun, but this system often compromises the fun I would otherwise be having.
No it's not my point of view that you should quit after reaching level 100. I've never said anything to suggest that I feel that way. You just need to pay attention.
My point if view is that 343 shouldn't have a shitty progression system that gives incentives for ruining the game for others. It's baffling to me that you want to defend it.

I wonder how long until the inevitable Halo Infinite and Gears mash-up happens.

On heroic and above, all the equipment is used regularly, pretty much every firefight. There was another person who complained of the same thing, that they never used any equipment except the grapple. Turns out he was playing on Normal, which is obviously perfectly fine but that's why.
I for one am glad that the ultimate weekly rewards aren't something good like legendary armor effects
Grabbed an elite series 2 controller so I could have paddles for jumping and somehow my aiming is now worse...maybe I just gotta get used to it.
Anyone else playing with a Elite controller? What's a good layout for Halo?
Mine is currently:
Right upper paddle: A - Jump \ Shift-Y: Weapon Switch
Right lower paddle: B - Crouch \Shift-X: Reload
Left Paddles are both set as the shift button
Face buttons (A\B\X\Y) are all set to D-pad directions when pressing shift which is really nice.

I agree, I did the early ones for the Spartan colours but very little interest in emblems and stuff. Makes it much easier to not bother worrying about it.
I don't think you should be using shift buttons for the sake of efficiency and muscle memory. My rule of thumb so far is that I use the peddles for stuff I want to use during combat. My current set up is:
Bottom left = Jump
Top left = Crouch
Bottom right = Sprint
Top right = Mark
My top left and top right are my two arms. So top left is equipment and top right is melee as that's which arms it is on screen .
Bottom ones are legs. So jump and sprint.
Have not had Series X crash which is what I mostly play on.
To be honest I haven't had it with PC either (despite 18 hours of play there).
Don't forget the adjustable tension on the sticks. It could be set differently than what you're used to. I have my aim stick set at the highest tension for better precision, and the move stick set at the lowest tension for fastest edge-to-edge. I'm using the middle-tall stick for aiming and the shortest stick for movement.
My mapping is...
LB - Jump (Bumper Jumper)
LT - ADS
RB - Nades
RT - Fire
LSB - Sprint, Zoom Level
RSB - Fisticuffs
LUP = A - Equipment
LLP = B - Crouch
RUP = Y - Switch weapons
RLP = X - Reload, Interact
Facebuttons - Disabled
Edit:
DpadU - Mark
DpadR - Switch Grenades
DpaD - Scan
DpadL - Switch Equipment (Campaign)
I've been using this setup since the first Elite came out with Titanfall, MCC, Apex, etc. It is 100% natural to me. I can hardly play any FPS without it. In fact, I bought a Brook adapter so I could use this on PlayStation FPS games too.
I've only had a few crashes on the Series X since the game released and I've played a lot
For some reason I'm having a hard time hitting the left paddles and just having the Shift face buttons as the d-pad makes it so I don't have to take a hand off movement or aiming to change nades or equipment...not something Im doing often in Halo but is a huge help in BF2042.
Cheers, will try it out. Like playing it on pc, but it's getting silly now. At least there's cross prog :3
There's an idea. They should do at least one week where teamwork is rewarded.
what some people don't seem to understand, specifically the person in that thread that keeps trying to argue with me, is that the game is supposed to find you an opposing team of similar overall skill based on your MMR. so either something wonky happened or that particular OP did something he isn't telling anyone about lol
FFA harkens back to old-school "deathmatch" modes, which always had drop-in and were super chaotic in general. The matches are quick enough that the appeal is more about getting in and playing than having waiting any longer for a "fair" start. This also prevents too many bot-slots if people drop.
I dropped £7 on Halo bucks to buy that stupid cat helmet but I didn't even get my Halo bucks 😅 was going to be the first thing I've ever bought in a F2P game (except for the Infinite battlepass) but I'll just get a refund instead haha.
Yup, I know they replied to a Reddit post but I wish they'd make a proper announcement saying they're looking into it. Feels worse than Halo 3's 2007 P2P connections sometimes 😑

There should be some sort of balance though, for the players that actually go through all the weeklies and go for the ultimate weekly challenge. More coatings or the shoulder pieces that are in bundles/event passes should be there instead of these emblems.
Weekly Ultimate challenges should be bundles or something. I'm not looking forward to 2 more weeks for the vehicles and armor versions. Everything this week including the event seems to be Mark VII core parts so I won't be using any of it.
After being banned for my game crashing 4 out of 6 games (and 1 extra where I spawned underneath the map), Ive been playing FFA on my Series X and haven't had a crash.
I wouldn't go so far as to say weekly ultimate rewards should be bundles, but they should definitely be limited to armor pieces (visors, legs, chest pieces, etc) and armor coatings. Emblems feel so puny in comparison, definitely not worth the grind.
Unrelated, but I feel like the Cat bundle is the closest they've gotten to reasonable pricing. You get an armor coating, premium armor piece that applies to a bunch of different helmets, and two weapon charms for 10 bucks. If armor coatings were cross core like they should be, this would almost be a perfect bundle.
It's hilarious because it's accompanied by probably the worst value bundle they've done so far, the fire and ice bundle, which is literally just two armor coatings and their core variants for 20 bucks. They're shamelessly putting a high price on Iron Man's color scheme. Sigh.
Damn, I didn't know you could deflect the heatwave's projectiles. Pretty cool.

Yeah that Ironman bundle for $20 is something lol. A bunch of coatings for all 3 cores makes it look like it's offering more than it is.
At least with Fortnite once you get a coating, the coating is unlocked for everything.
