Glad I'm not crazy. I played with ex wife a bit ago in btb and was having the same issue. Hard reset doesn't help. Maybe it's forge? Haven't seen any other posts on it.

I was slightly annoyed we were going to split the discussion between a community Halo thread and a game OT yet again but the game OT is mostly spam about audio issues so it's nice to have that relegated there while here it's just a high concentration of my shit posts.
Yeah I'm happy we largely got to avoid all that.
Plus we won't have Rags scare away new people.
Actually, Halo 1 doesn't explain what the Covenant is either. It literally starts almost immediately after Reach, so there's not much more time for backstory. There's not much you need to know though, at a basic level, it's just imagine if we first met aliens and they were a cross-species religious "Covenant" hell-bent on our destruction, completely unfriendly. Reach is just a pinnacle point of the war. Then stuff happens with Halos and things get a bit more complicated.
covenant are aleins
if ur a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything you'll shot them
There would have to be a limit of the jump pack because I ain't doing another Highlands.
You need me on your team spartan.I might as well just be playing solo.
Have to defer to op_ivy for that clip. Here is a game we played together. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...yMatchIndex=1&gameHistoryGameModeFilter=Arena
Happens a couple times every match.
But it happened to me every single game. And when I played a BTB a few weeks ago.
I need to test if it happens in forge only or if it happens in MM.
That's normal since 2016 mcc for me.I might as well just be playing solo.

Did they start betraying you once they realized it was a losing battle. That's typically the cherry on top with these sort of things.
I want thruster as a default option. It's just too much fun to use.
I was just thinking about this being what I'd personally go for. Forward thrust basically buys you the ol' H2 melee lunge and a little bit of an extra reach when making jumps, and jetpacks treated as vehicles on appropriate maps just makes sense. Should be big maps with verticality, vehicle counters, vulnerable jetpack spawns, plentiful weapon counters (snipers, sustained damage tracking weapons like sentinel beams or focus rifles, turrets), prominent jet contrails so the pack can be read from across the map, and lots of top-down sightline blockers to add risk to that elevation and give ample cover for those on the ground. Edit: And as a trade-off not being able to use your suit thrusters with the Jetpack equipped seems fair.
Yeah jetpacks only as a pick-up, no more loadouts ever again. Also keep it on big maps with other vehicles imo, designing mid and small maps around them just seem to break things. Keep the thruster as part of the stock move set, I'll be really sad to see that being removed more than any of the other H5 abilities and the mythic playlist shows it works well with a more traditional Halo style of play.
On a different note, one thing that annoys me about the lunge is how unpredictable and random it is, maybe it's more reliable offline but I'd like an icon or the reticule change when I'm within melee lunge range.
People arguing FOR the inclusion of jetpacks in a future Halo title... 343 surely wouldn't be so mad.
If we're talking something like that as a piece of equipment, the most I can extend to is a grav lift ala Halo 3 that has three uses. Jetpacks in Reach make a mockery of the maps and the game plays so much better when they're not an option.

I just don't find jetpacks all that fun to use whereas I find double jumps quite satisfying.
I think you also get more utility with a double jump in firefights, it can be used as a dodge for example (like thrust). Also, I can imagine it'd be far easier to design maps around double jump than jetpack.
I dunno why they hyped up this progression system as some cool thing, it's a straight downgrade from the original where you could at least save points toward what you wanted instead of getting everything completely linearly. I'd rather just be able to cutstomize freely like the other games in the MCC but I guess then everyone would be skull helmet thunderstorm or whatever.
Oh right.
It's just not interesting. It is literally just a continuous drip feed grind.
At least give the player some kind of choice in what to unlock at each level.
That's my biggest gripe with it. Reach let you save up to unlock whatever you wanted. I truly don't think it's engaging to force me to unlock all these other pieces of armor before I get to the one thing that I want.
Like, I probably played 30 or so matches before it even got me to my first piece of shoulder pads. It'll be hours and hours more before I get to any chest pieces, much less the one single helmet I actually want to use. It's lame.
As long as I get an MLG/Hardcore playlist in Infinite where there is no sprint, no spartan abilities, no messages about power weapon spawns, no recoil, BR starts and no wall climbing, they can do whatever they want with the rest of the game.
Not sure you need that specific match, as like Tawpgun said it happens several times in all matches, but here you go
I was disappointed that Mk V was so far down in tiers but then I remembered that the Reach version of Mk V sucks.
Also I said jump pack people not jet pack, a jump packwould be a single burst in the air and not bring you as high as a jet pack.

I mean in that case I'd just treat the thruster as momentum based. Like if you jump and activate it, it gives you a burst upward.

We can hope.
It's crazy how Ghost said these were the settings pro players wanted from Halo 5 at the start and they introduce them four years later. lol
I wonder how different the HCS and reception would have been if it was.
I get better quality games in social than I do in competitive. This shit is like every other game. I'm not even trying to be funny anymore. lol
Why do ranked matches start 3v4? I'm not talking about someone quitting within the first few seconds, but it literally loads up with not enough players. This is basic stuff. If a rank match doesn't have enough players at the start, it should just end (like OW for example).
Why I'm on playing this?

Made a modding OT to get everyone started on modding :)
Sigh, Reach Legendary remains the worst Legendary of the series, and I'm surprised how many bad or nonexistent checkpoints I'm getting.
343 taking years to turn the divisive launch game into an excellent one everyone likes seems like a recurring theme at this point :P
Will definitely be interested in jumping in, but I'm powering through Reach.
Anyone interested in being a Legendary speedrun co-op buddy? I'm on evenings EST. Having a second person would definitely speed some stuff up that I can't easily cheese.

Played a few matches of Reach today. Felt good. I ended up with pretty good stats at the end of the session. Felt like coming back home. Thanks to 343 and/or MS for making the mp free.
I also agree about the fact that the progression system would be better if I would be able to save points to unlock a specific piece of equipment but hey, I won't complain too much on free content. Matchmaking was very fast and, in social slayer, the matches were pretty equal so it was a lot of fun.
I think I'm going to play some more in the weeks to come. See you on the battlefield Spartans!

Reach Team Hardcore feels like a 24/7 Battle Canyon KOTH playlist. I'm having a blast, but I'd love more variety.
