By Mdot Go To PostI echo the statements above about a need for a Social Playlist too. Half the time I don't have a fireteam I don't want to head into Arena and risk situations like yesterday.Not to mention that Social games would be a great place for practice games before jumping into ranked, instead of going in cold. Granted, Warzone could be called that, but if I'm wanting to play ranked Arena, a Social playlist would be a much better place for practice imo than Warzone.
I think we just need a single social playlist per player count with large possible gamemode pool rotations similar to Team Arena. e.g.
RANKED
8-way FFA. Free-For-All.
2v2. Team Doubles
4v4. Team Arena
4v4. Team Slayer
4v4. Headhunters*
4v4. Breakout
4v4. SWAT
6v6. Squad Arena.
8v8. Big Team Battle.
UNRANKED
8-way FFA. Free-For-All Social.
2v2. Doubles Social.
4v4. Team Social.
6v6. Squad Social.
8v8. Big Team Social.
WEEKLY ROTATION
- Ranked Rotational (e.g. Shotty Snipers)
- Unranked Rotational (e.g. Flood)
*Headhunters is basically "Mercenaries," e.g. max party count is 1.

If we had a stronger population, maybe, but I don't think we can afford an unranked Doubles and BTB alongside ranked versions. I don't think the maps we have now would work well for 6v6 playlists either, but over time that could change...
Above is what I'd trim it to, right now

That playlisting is meant as more of an endgame "halo 6 incoming" sort of thing. 6v6 matches would be played on BTB and maybe but probably not Arena maps, providing a "breathing room BTB" experience similarly to how Doubles matches play on Arena maps. Likewise, the gamemodes wouldn't be identical but unranked; Social Arena could possibly include things like Grifball.

Gotcha, that makes more sense then. I did enjoy Squad Slayer 6v6 on Reach, so I'm certainly not opposed to trying that again.
I like the idea of Social Arena throwing in some "party" modes. Maybe even the more "balanced" stuff from Action Sack, like Medal Madness?
Thank you for instant-on background DL's. Hopefully this is ready to rock by the time I get home later on.
By NOKYARD Go To PostJust started the update but it's going REALLY slow. I will jump in when it's fully cooked.Nice work on deadlock by the way.
Had a good slayer game on it a few minutes ago.
By Silky Go To PostFuck Social Playlists
Fuck pubs
Ranked or die breh
wanna fuck around? Customs,.
Calm down... I'm mostly talking solo. No one wants to have to be stuck playing FFA in those cases.
By Wahrer Go To Postsend you some background music, my sikka
My vote?

People are saying BTB has Join In Progress?
I take it it's still Ranked too, as Josh mentioned that making unranked lists available will take some time

By Wesley S Shark Go To PostIt has JiP.
Hmm. Hopefully it's like COD where games you join in progress only count if you win.
By Wesley S Shark Go To PostIt has JiP.:(
Stupid question I should already know the answer to: is there just one BTB playlist or are there Slayer and Objective variants (in this case, BTB Arena and BTB Slayer)?
EDIT: nevermind, just read it on Waypoint.

so, I downloaded the patch, left the house for a bit, and came back to play some BTB. My Xbox cannot read the save file, and cannot access the party system. No idea what's going on. Tried another game too, and same deal. Is my Xbox fucked?

By Pancracio17 Go To PostHard reset?
Did that. Still nothing. None of my games or apps can find my save data.
By Pancracio17 Go To PostBTB has JiP? why?Because 1 v 8 would suck a lot lol

I wonder if removing your gamertag/re-adding it would work? I would imagine that would force it to re-sync all cloud saves...

I'll give it a try. If that doesn't work, I might have to restore my Xbox to factory settings...

By Wesley S Shark Go To PostI'm getting the same error
maybe it's a temporary issue. I'll hold off doing a full wipe until tomorrow. Gonna try the gamertag removal first to see if it all resyncs.
Looks like my console got an OS update on 11/17 at 2228. Was working fine last night while I was playing... Logged off around 2200.
By GringoSuave89 Go To PostSo… removing my gamertag made it worse hahahaYep. Lost my friends list and everything else as well lollll
Fixed it!
Removed my gamertag, entered it back in. Hard reset.
It all works now.
Edit: first match... Guy on my fireteam is bitching about Strongholds in BTB in the fireteam chat.
This is why I don't use fireteam chat. *makes a party*

I did a heard reset and it fixed the gamertag issues, and it may have solved my game save issues too. Thanks Thorne!
Damn sorry dudes :(
Good job Nokyard! Your map is my favorite of the bunch. Except it has the grenade mongoose on it which sucks. I'm assuming that is a 343 change?

I think the forge maps look pretty damn good, very nice and clean:
On a side note because I was looking at my Xbox screenshots, H5 looks fucking gorgeous at points:

By singhr1 Go To Post<3 SangheliosIt's gorgeous
Sanghelios BTB needs to happen.
Played all 4 maps. None are us ugly as I'd feared: Guillotine is surprisingly nice, and it's fucking Headlong YAHOOOO! Forge is Forge: it's not gorgeous, but it's functional, if plain, and fuck it, I never play Halo for grafix (Halo apologist yo, soz, soz w/e). Really like Guillotine, Recurve is alright, if a bit weird to get your head around/looks funky at first, Basin I no like after one play, but give it time and Deadlock feels good. It's nice to have larger Arena spaces. BRs seem to work OK, so far, but we shall see.
Good stuff, 343. Now bring the new-build maps!

I can't currently use game chat (long story) but can hear it whilst in a party. Was playing Warzone and one guy on our team was all 'whaaat do I do? what the fuuuuuck?'. Over and over again, he couldn't work out the objectives. Sadly nobody piped up. I think he was stoned. Or a frog.
Probably a frog loll
Deadlock - 3x
Recurve - 1x
Basin - 3x
Haven't seen the Headlong remake show up yet.

By Granadier Go To Postdelay spring semester to take an apprenticeship, or wait until summer for it? (software)Take apprenticeship fo sho. Looks great on a resume.
go!
The trick is to realize that every other section of your resume that is not "experience" counts for basically nil compared to experience.
