Went from 6th to 1st this match, and pulled off that same ground pound like 3 more times lol.

Lol

join our spartan company!

Would love to, how do I go about that though? I've been playing for a while but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to any social aspect of online play (Just found out how to record clips today lol)

Are these people from the newly formed Wood Tier in FFA?

If only I could play these derps...

 

[SpartanN92]

So I just wanted to check out MCC. Never encountered this before.

It's the game from Locke's perspective with that tiny visor

 

[Feel the Swift]

I suck so hard. just went from like 1580 all the way back down to 1500.

 

[sir_dany12]

Riptide is fucking gorgeous, i just wish the gameplay was better..

Lmao, I couldn't believe they fell for it about 6 times in one game. 3 players were unranked though, possibly why (Other 2 were Plat).

 

[Karl2177]

Found the wood tier league in Warzone Assault.

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Karl2177/video/14680900

Later that game got a Frenzy just using a Susan I found on the ground. (Yes, I know it's Suban. Susan is just so much funnier)

Susan should really be ultra rare for how good she is, but I'm glad she isnt.

I think I posted it at some point, they're super cool but not new thread worthy IMO.

I'd pick one up if I had the spare funds. They seem to be really well done.

 

[Leyasu]

I don't mind Riptide that much. I'd pick it over both Overgrowth and Pegasus.

You know that. Overgrowth and Pegasus are bad

We're all thinking it, but nobody's said it.

 

[Garrett 2U]

All REQs unlocked. Feels good man.

Yeah it looks high quality. I'm not into that stuff but i know a lot of people do.

 

[jfoul]

Same here, I just opened this last Gold Pack. I can now get out of WZ assault zombie mode.

Good news is that a lot of Emblems are unlocked through commendations, not req packs. I'm at 195/254 with Emblems right now.

It will take me an eternity to get all REQs.

Yeah, what's the secret? Just farm WA all day?

 

[jfoul]

Pretty much. If you're lucky each game won't last longer than 6min 30secs. Even if you lose, it's 1275 points.Just make sure you have at least one kill, or assist.

How much the normal Warzone give you? I remember something like 2k points.

 

[mo60]

2100 req points maximum.

I just got 2146 as the winner in regular warzone, but the match was 20 minutes.

Yeah Warzone Assault depends on how long the match is. 20 minutes is just like normal Warzone but if you can finish the match within 6 minutes then WA is better.

Huh, XboxClips is down. Not seen that happen before.

 

[Crv756]

I can't find any games in either Slayer, Team Arena or FFA. Is there anyone also experiencing this? I'm from Europe.

Ps. I switched to MCC and found a game instantly.

 

[Trup1aya]

Is there any way to see the commendation requirements for levels we haven't reached yet.

 

[Akai__]

Checking out other Spartan Companies progress?

 

[Magwik]

Getting closer and closer to maxing out gold REQs is the best. Upgraded Binary rifle cert, upgraded Splaser cert, 5 mantis certs in a row, it's such a good feeling

I think that's about the only way.

Regular commendations for yourself can be viewed on Halo Tracker (clicking shows all requirements), not sure why they don't have the same for SC commendations :/

[The Jackdog]

Man, going off in SWAT sometimes just feels great. Getting an overkill always does

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/cmglassmire/video/14687834

love getting someone who is going in for a spartan charge too.

Unless i'm wrong, and I'm never wrong ;-) you're done with bronze packs

Lol. Thanks again man!

 

[IHaveIce]

Man I hope the update is next week can't wait for ball gametypes.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

I was reading the update and I kinda got the impression we'd be able to throw the ball to teammates.

I don't remember being able to do that previously (if true) but it would add a whole new dimension to teamplay.

This is perfect evidence as to why I can't play FFA in this game.

It's an option that can be turned off and was a feature in Halo 4.

it made ricochet my favorite gametype to play with friends to be honest.

like wed actually set picks and run routes to pass the ball to eachother.

on haven, the ball would spawn on the bottom floor in the middle. so one person rushes it, turns around, throws it up to the top floor, that person snags it out of the air and long bombs it into the net.

awesome stuff.

This finally loaded for me. Have you heard the good word of our mighty Spartan Company? You should totally join and ground pound some more xD

 

[LunaticPuma]

I'm getting better:

There was a Diamond 2 on the other team too while I was the highest on our team as a Plat 3.

 

[natethegreat409]

Took a week off from Halo. Literally feel like I haven't ever played this game before. My aim is all over the place this morning.

 

[VincentMatts]

You know one thing i started noticing, is the lack of ambient sounds in regards to enemy players or vehicles. I never hear anyone coming up on me until its too late. Im either getting meleed or getting splattered when i first hear them. It was never like this is other halo games. I always used to hear footsteps or ghosts coming from far away so at that point i could somewhat prepare, or jump over a ghost, now i barely hear anything anymore.

Is anyone else noticing this?

Edit: Like ghosts, if theyre not in front of me i never hear them coming.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Platinum feels like the right spot for me, although it's still jarring to swing from getting a coordinated team that wrecks mine to teams who seem like their top player could only be bronze (winning Strongholds games 100-0.)

 

[Caja 117]

Yesterday I tried to reach Diamond on Arena....., was doing good, until I lost 3 games in a row, I was playing a really bad Halo in that stretch, I decided to put down the controller, and go to sleep, maybe tonight I can get that Diamond.

The Silver pack grinding sure is really slow.

 

[Ramirez]

Played a couple games this morning, really can't be said enough, the game needs party restrictions.

If you ignore bronzes, you need something like 286 silvers and 155 golds. I don't have the link to where they figured out the Bronze -> Silver -> Gold optimization, but even assuming I haven't unlocked anything silver and bronze at my rate of between 1–2 silver packs a day that's around 190 days or six months remaining. Given that I've bought the weekly pack and a gold bundle, plus the various gold and silver packs I earned before I realized it was smarter to focus bronzes down, I'm wagering I've got another solid three months before I'm done with silvers due to <6 hours weekly playtime.

It's terrible...esp if you only really enjoy playing arena. I'm going to switch to WZA for a few days because it's driving me crazy
