Also a good set of rules to keep people from using booster accounts to screw the system up.

By Poodlestrike Go To PostSo what do we all think of the Seasons, thing.
A great idea, and will keep people coming back to play more than a static rank system ala Halo 2/3.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostSo what do we all think of the Seasons, thing.I like it, gives everyone a reason to come back, start fresh and see if they're getting better

Lol not paying extra for another account. My main will be my smurf ;)
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostWho is gonna intentionally play like ass for the first 10 qualifying matches so you can beat up on noobs in the low ranks?I might do this, I played well, got place in gold and then was continually shit on by full parties for the rest of the beta. If they try to match randoms against randoms, this won't be a problem.

I'm glad only certain playlists are Seasonal (hopefully not the main Slayer playlist). It's a cool idea and I will like it if it's only for certain niche playlists, but getting your rank reset every month is a pain, especially when that means having to play 10 placement matches every month before you can start climbing ladder again.
Hopefully they give the seasons some sweet emblems as rewards and assign the Seasonal quality to the less popular playlists (Team Objective maybe, when Team Arena is inevitably replaced with it). Not enough people playing Objective? Incentivize people to play Objective by making it a seasonal playlist with cool emblems if you play it enough.

The only thing I need to hear is that mix rank parties will match other mix rank parties and it's perfect.

This would unfortunately have the opposite side effect. People will play it less if their hard earned rank in a small playlist is reset.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostLol not paying extra for another account. My main will be my smurf ;)Pssst, share gold on your xbox = infinite accounts.
Made a bunch for my friends for when I take my bone over and we all play.
Much classier than seeing Jailbird200(1) Jailbird200(2) Jailbird200(3) on one team.
I can't wait to get back to the middle of the bell curve where I belong. I loved the ranking system in the beta. I hope it works that good again for me.
By JBird20022 Go To PostPssst, share gold on your xbox = infinite accounts.Wait, what. Splain pls.

By LoopOfHenle Go To PostWait, what. Splain pls.If you're sharing gold on your xbox any account registered to it will be able to play online.
Create an account, make an email and name for it and presto.
Can also bum live on your xbox if your account is on an xbox that has shared gold.
Forgot precisely how to do it though, haven't needed to after i got another job.
By Fahzgoolin Go To Posthalo ce 4v4 isn't working. Ugh
Halo 2 and beyond were mistakes. They're nothing but trash
Confirmed H5 customs will be joinable while MCC's won't be. What was the betting pool for that prediction?

From a coding standpoint, I want to see the receipts for the code that detects intentional suicides and differentiates them from unintentional ones. That sounds like it would make a cool presentation for GDC.

It means people consistently dying via falling off the map, explosives or some other means. You'll be fine if you miss a jump or accidentally kill yourself with a rocket every now and then.
I suspect these were put into place to limit boosting.

Well, I figured those obvious things were in place. That's the easy part. What if someone is having an off night and they keep falling into the pit of doom? What if they screwed up a few nade throws per game? At what point do the "obvious" things and the less obvious things start being considered purposeful by the system in place? That's what I'm refering to. I want to see the algorithm in place to determine behavior patterns and stuff, cuz that shit is fun.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostThis means that it won't take just one loss to drop, right? Not that it won't drop at all, no matter how often you do or don't win. I assume the former, but I thought it'd be good to check.
You won't drop from one CSR rank to another (Silver to Bronze, for example). So even if you lose an infinite number of games at Silver, the lowest rank you can drop to is Silver-I (until the following season, of course). However, keep in mind that your CSR rank is separate from your behind the scenes MMR (matchmaking rating), so you will still be matched against players of appropriate skill.

This may not be as easy as you might think... :)
So will the seasons apply to all the playlists in Arena? My reading suggested that only certain ones would be "seasonal". Did I misread something?
Also, GG on making sure Juices will never fall out of Silver. Guy is fragile.

i feel like if you quit (disconnect) out of a match, you should only be allowed to either
A. Join back into that match (if disconnect was accidental)
B. Not play again til that game is over

Josh, any thoughts on team harassment? No idea how it would be tracked but from my experiences griefers long ago learned to shoot teammates till shields dropped so that you were easy pickings for the opposing players and they couldn't get betrayal booted.

Also discourages deranking.
By a zoojoo Go To PostMatchmaking deets sound extremely solid. Best Halo MP confirmed.It does sound superb so far.
About 40 minutes away!
OK Guys I'll be sending out the message in 10 minutes. Remember tonight is Halo 3, expect some giant elephant CTF on Sandtrap, 1 Bomb on High Ground, and any of the crazy customs you guys have cooked up. See you on the battlefield!
If you cant make it tonight but want to catch the action it will be live on Twitch! Yes game chat will be on the stream as well so you can hear all the shenanigans.

What's your setup for that with the One? I thought that wasn't an option? You use the W10 app for party chat or something?
By YourExWife Go To PostWhat's your setup for that with the One? I thought that wasn't an option? You use the W10 app for party chat or something?
I have the Astro a40 TR and Elgato HD60 and I use analog audio to capture the chat and my mic. Everything gets filtered through the headset.

If you have a mixamp its really simple to grab chat.

By JBird20022 Go To Postwhy the bone can't do this natively like the PS4 still bothers the living hell out of me
Ugh. Seriously. I have the HD60. I have the equipment to do this with literally any other console or my PC. I'm not going to buy a special piece of (imo overpriced) equipment just to accomplish something that I had no problems with on MS's previous console for almost a decade.
Just add it to the fucking list of features that Microsoft felt like removing entirely from the 360 to the "new and improved" One. Can't mute system sounds, can't stream music without snapping, can't output chat without third party equipment, etc. Dammit, Cliq, you had my hopes up almost for a second there.
Hey, Salient, any option to output chat audio specifically with H5 by chance?
By JBird20022 Go To PostAlso, is FFA 6 or 8 player.
Plz be 6 plz be 6…..
How about 5...and we'll play snowbound with maulers and shield doors.
