By Laboured Go To PostWhy would Dean have your Xbox?
I was struggling to buy one due to availability, got Dean on the case and within minutes thanks to his big balled voodoo magic he got me one. Currently at his gaffe, as I’m having it as an Xmas present from the fam/gf etc

By i can get you a toe Go To PostMost noobs refuse to clear out an area and gain some control and instead just run to the ball, flag, zone with no forethought.
Ngl, this simple ass tip has boosted my kdr and helped me get w's, as I progress through ranked. lol Only 5 games left, before I see my placement.
I've never played much of Halo multiplayer, outside of getting washed by college mates, but this version of CTF sucks. I miss TF2. lol
By Kibner Go To PostNot instantly dying if you walk somewhere is definitely a plus.Right! It seems to have a good balance with the battle royal stuff I watch ppl play fortnite and i’m like what is this shit they are building steps and shooting at the same time wtf

Noticeable improvement?

Very toxic and destructive
By Smokey Go To PostNoticeable improvement?From what I’ve experienced so far, 50 exp per match which is a decrease in short term but much more achievable challenges
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostNgl, this simple ass tip has boosted my kdr and helped me get w's, as I progress through ranked. lol Only 5 games left, before I see my placement.Use the objective sometimes as a tool to farm a bit (but it's also strategic) because the opposition will do it too (Just run for the ball without a second thought) if they're not smart. People forget they can drop objectives and firefight too. Also the best way to travel with the flag is hop drop, pick up again, hop drop still. Damn thing will bounce like it always has.

Nade placement is your friend. It's a bit weird in this game though since on controller it takes such a huge wind up and really has to come before you fire with the lower ttk this particular game has.
I'm still learning maps but I could post some sight lines when I get into the nitty gritty again. Lately I've been in BTB just trying to get my bearings with various weapons. Far as defense in CTF in the 4v4 they typically have, stay up top as much as you can, given how nades are in this game and the wind up they take (which I really really would get addressed), it's just easier to toss them down and it's easier to get momentum downward on someone and even melees. In this Halo (ttk and strong not as obvious nades) and the way the maps are set up though you really have to keep moving and scan areas constantly. There's so many ins and outs to the maps. Sometimes I'll just back myself up into a space where I can't be assassinated and there's maybe 2 ways to get at me rather than like 4 to get a breather and establish some perspective.
Even with my longtime Halo experience I keep forgetting just how strong nades can be. Most of my deaths are nade bounces. Another tip: if you can bail out of an encounter do so. You should see and fire first. It isn't much different from Destiny in that way for me. Old Halo I could stand my ground a bit and outnade/outshoot even if hit first but this one I'd rather slink away and get my shields back but you even have to be smart about how you retreat. Game has some really generous nade bounces and even nade splash, I've hidden only to die anyway like a lame. On BTB run from cover to cover. I watch so many people just ass out and if I have a BR? Easy peasy.
Sorry for the novel y'all lol I used to be a big Halo nerd before Destiny took up my time.
Been watching a lot of pro players on Twitch and it seems like the meta right now involves a lot of sliding. It's really strange to see, but using sprint+crouch results in a big momentum boost and players are really moving around these maps at high rates of speed.

I miss thrust very much and my muscle memory keeps reverting back to it
Destiny shit. Slide and pepper. Ask me or Dy all about it. It's better than jumping by far, more defense, smaller body and your head isn't just out there for an easy dome shot. I am not twitchy anymore so I gotta be smarter, bait folks out and have good placement of my shit. It's why nade toss being so weak just fundamentally pisses me off.
By Smokey Go To PostI miss thrust very much and my muscle memory keeps reverting back to itYeah, I love when I find the thruster pickup because it feels more like H5. But I will say, I do like not having it standard because it actually punishes players for bad movement. They needed to find ways to increase the skill gap and it definitely helps.
By Smokey Go To PostI miss thrust very much and my muscle memory keeps reverting back to itGet married brehs
BTB to me is one where loadouts should really be welcomed and make sense. Dealing with vehicles, power weapons, snipes, spawn campers should negate a BR/Plasma/plasma pistol build.
Highly recommend changing the enemy outline color, friends. I changed from red to a bright yellow and it's helped me with the visual distinctions a ton.
By Tony Hank's Pro Skater Go To PostI’m tempted but red v blue is iconic friendIt is, but red can be tough to see with some of these skins.
Related to skins, consider buying the NV skin in the esports shop. It's going away soon (NV got folded into Optic gaming), it's a pretty good skin, and the money helps fund the tournament prize pools.

Is that the black and blue one.
By Smokey Go To PostIs that the black and blue one.That's the one! They've already said that the Optic skins is going to replace it in the shop soon and it won't be available anymore.
Gotta be honest I wish I could just have a setting where the teams are red v blue. Having to second guess myself about who's an ally or not blows. I've committed more than one sabotage as a result. (It didn't even say I did but I have definitely stuck vehicles, melee and naded brehs on instinct. Then they died. 😕)

Game needs BTB Slayer and Team Slayer. Objectives are just a wash. Also halo brehs can't do basic shit like clear a base and they want them to cap zones, flags and bring batteries back to base? Braaaaaaah nah.
Is the (multiplayer) game going to be any different in terms of content at launch? I know it’s labelled as a beta but that doesn’t mean much anymore.
By Andrew Go To PostIs the (multiplayer) game going to be any different in terms of content at launch? I know it’s labelled as a beta but that doesn’t mean much anymore.This is it for launch, but there's like 10 more maps that people have found in the data mining, too, so I'd expect those should be rolling out in the first season. The big update in May is going to have stuff like Forge in it.

Think the bones are very strong here but it needs more playlist and map variety (in BTB at least), and perhaps a progression rework.
I think ultimately it leaves a bad taste in my mouth playing a really exciting, tense match… and then you get to the end and get 50 exp. The rework was an improvement but I would much prefer if it was weighting towards playing and winning (or doing well) and less ‘kill x with y gun’ or play an objective based map that may not come up in the hopper in shorter sessions. Tricky line to walk for 343 though if they want this to last until May.
I don't understand why battle passes cost weird values like 2,800 credits instead of 2,000 or 3,000.
By diehard Go To PostI know a lot of people hated it but i miss Warzone and its wacky weaponsIt’s early, but I think H5 was a better game. I know people didn’t like the campaign too much, but it was my favorite Halo MP.
It F2P so I imagine they have a release schedule to keep people playing. As long as the core gameplay is good they halo will be fine.
