I miss when we posted so much that we filled up 400 pages in like under 2 weeks.
That was good shit, now the thread is pretty dead.
Meh. We are resigned to our fate. We got Reach in like 3 days, and if there's a snowball's chance in hell, Infinite tease at TGA. We will be fine.
What's crazy is he has 7,000 subs which is 52nd on most subbed channels on twitch and his average viewercount is from 500-1,000 people. lol
No preload for MCC PC it looks like: https://twitter.com/343Postums/status/1201196631107883008
At least it'll not be like, 75GB+, and more like 10GB (probably, hopefully)

Was playing big team in MCC last night and had a really laggy game. Grenades appearing like a second after the throwing animation etc. Then the game had a host change when someone quit. I thought it was all dedicated servers now? Shit was rough.
They're doing some sort of maintenance so the dedicated servers are off at the moment.
Ah, that explains it. Did think it was weird, I haven't seen a host change for ages!

I'm a bit surprised that the only ranked playlist is for hardcore. They're really gonna run Reach tournaments again, huh?
I remember hearing about a new progression system that includes rewards and seasons? Is that still a thing? MCC on PC is probably going to be my main GaaS-type game so having a strong and motivating progression system would be ideal
Yeah it's still there. It's not like a traditional Battle Pass system as it's all free and once a new season starts you can still work through a previous one.
I basically hate the gametype pools and selections for social MM in MCC. It's a farce to go into social NOT competitive and get maps like Warlock and Team BRs, that ain't a fun gametype for solo searching.
It's not a one off either. I played about half a dozen games recently and recall at least 3 of those games thinking to myself why am I playing MLG games and maps against sweaty teams. It's really not what I want to play.
So I restrict searching to flag and bomb only across all games and no matches found in two different days of searching. Ugh, not the Halo I want to play. MCC is functionally in great shape, the population and maps/gametype pools are shot for me though.

Are literal babies playing this game at the moment. There seems to be a large influx of stupid players. Like, "I've never touched an FPS in my life and I don't know how to look and move at the same time" stupid. I'm observing other players as I play out of curiosity and it's almost baffling.

That's what most Halo players in social and low level ranked have always been like.
I didn't know FUNKNOWN's gamertag was Dylan93004
Imagine being this wrong on something...
And people say the Motion Tracker is a major crutch, lmao.
Read the next entry. He was talking about the randomness, consistency and bloodshots.
ur mum
I shouldn't even be taking this low ass level ass bait ass bait, but just to Shut This Shit Down, let's think of this from a different angle --
Who is making more use of that radar? Little Johnny No Thumbs or the competent Halo player?
The obvious answer there should clear up who radar empowers more. It's actually less of an aid to lesser skilled players than they think, especially when compared to a limited radar (w/ sprint) or no radar (w/o sprint).
Now -- more to your specific crutch comment, if you've actually paid attention to the arguments from Competent Radar Opposers (something you've never, ever shown to do in these discussions, BIG OFFENSE INTENDED not really :] ), you'd understand that there's a not insignificant degree of skill progression one is limiting by thinking something that takes up 5% screen estate is so crucial to not only their effectiveness in combat, but their actual e n j o y m e n t of the game. Think about that.
Sooooooooooo............. with that being said, there was some talk in this thread recently about notable duos? Well, I'll up ante by formally inducting Cranster into The Bad Opinion Train w/ the notable duo jem and Karl.
Oh and don't be fooled, the staff of conductors is quite long on that train.
Just seen the audio described as a "broken white noise generator" in Twitch chat. The sprint PANTING is LOUD in Reach. Also bloom is challenging for those not familiar with it.
Reading theres some audio issues yeah. Which is a bummer.
Not sure about bugs, this was just complaints about Reach's native audio.
Huh thought I read something about mixing issues and a patch being planned. Could be mistaken.
Does MCC use the new gamertag system? Like if I change my name to something new, will it have numbers next to it in game if the name isn't unique?
Gamechat ruled.
Bring back game chat. Bitch.
