Has arena matchmaking been incredibly laggy for anyone the last two days? I've bought my own modem and router since last playing a lot of Halo 5, and it seems oddly laggy. Trying to figure out if it's on my end or if it's just bad in general right now...

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Just had my best match of tank world. First round, I won a 4 on 1. Superfecta and extinction. Last round I won a 2 on 1. Got the immortal.


Like...how.

OT, but UE4's latest update added in stuff for physics-based animations:

Which means that stuff similar to Halo 5's "player walks forward a few steps before falling over after they get killed by an automatic" animation / physics blends are now possible.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Updated system specs.

Wooh, fully clearing the minimum. Wish I'd had a spare 2.5 to 3.5" bracket around, I coulda' installed W10 on an SSD but I'm not going to get above 1080p anyhow.

 

[JackHerer]

Time to play Halo 5 again after months of hiatus. I already know I'm gonna get wrecked....

Yeah I did that last night, haven't been playing Arena and jumped back in for a game. Team of 3 Onyx Aussies stomped all over me, I went -8 with a wooden spoon effort of 3 kills.

If anyone wanted to checkout the Loot Crate REQ pack

Also this tank move was pure gold as last man standing 1v2 FTW

Awesome. Will you use it for PLC?

Walshy is now working at First Strike Games with Kevin Franklin and a few other ex-343 members working on a new MP game.

Please be a (good) Halo clone.

Is there actually any room for another arena shooter?

 

[Trup1aya]

Couple of things:

Tank world is really fun. But it should just be one round. It's too slow to be first to 3. Also the map looks amazing

Rift Ball is really fun. I prefer it over grif ball. I've gone over to the dark side and used tons of Spartan charges... But I don't feel bad because everyone is limited to lunge melee anyway

Sumo is awesome.

I haven't played paint ball yet.

Haven't played the ground pound game yet.

I really like Assualt, but I still think the only way to reset should be to score. They should borrow Strongholds mentality: the only defense is offense. I think it would be more competitively viable that way.

A good multiplatform arena shooter could potentially eat Halo's lunch.

 

[GreyWind]

I didn't know Kevin Franklin left 343. Curious to see their new game.

 

[belushy]

I was actually hoping it would be a Shadowrun inspired shooter.

LinkedIn says they left February 2016. It's actually been awhile now. Woulda' thought we'd hear the cheering from Beyond over this way when it happened. If Brian Reed left I think the Halo story reddit would be audible from space.

EDIT: Looking at their site (guys, I know it's early, but work on that logo!) looks like in addition to Franklin, the team includes Halo 5's multiplayer engineer, multiplayer designer, and lead multiplayer producer.

It's nice that Walshy has a job in the industry now. You could tell he was a bit frustrated he hadn't been able to break in.

 

[QuantumSquid]

I never knew Kevin Franklin was a certified seaplane pilot. That's pretty awesome.

 

[YourExWife]

So the HaloGAF company is very likely going to finish off the ground pound commendation tonight. Thanks action sack! Now we just need all the active members to actually get in ground vehicles and get kills with them. Regularly. Because holy shit.

Also, embrace the dark side and Spartan charge at every opportunity.

Any space left in the HaloGAF Spartan Company? Been chillin in Team Frankie for a year but a lot of them are inactive.

That feel when nV is beating CLG in a scrim and neither team is streaming it ;_;

Score is 7-3 so far

[SCHUEY F1]

Damn. We will see when the season starts. CLG never lost a scrim last season correct?

Yeah I think its the first scrim loss since Lethul joined before Xgames.

 

[mo60]

Will help finish of some company commendations once I get to SR 146 tonight

 

[il Diavolo]

riptide is a disgusting map

 

[BizzyBum]

That's so lame not one person is broadcasting the scrim.

 

[Forerunner]

That new Slayer map is good. I forgot what it's called, but it's much better than some of the dev maps.

White Cell? I think it's inspired by Haven funnily enough.

Lxthul is salty as all heck on twitter right now after that scrim loss lol

from Beyond:

Lxthul is hellla salty jesus all snip3down said was GG lol

[curiouscharles]

Lord knows H5 is all I needs right now (and for the foreseeable future, especially since I hate TF2 so far).

I could potentially get into a new arena style shooter in the PC space though, seeing as I wasn't into Doom multiplayer.

from Beyond:

classic lxthul, salty as bacon that dude is.

never thought I'd see a team challenge CLG's throne... this season could prove exciting.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lxthul is definitely my least favorite on the CLG squad dat salt

Hmm, a lot of people who designed Halo 5's multiplayer left in a group to form a game studio, named after Halo's third novel, to work on an unannounced project.

unless they try to throw some curveball and attempt to make a Halo killer to spite their old bosses and colleagues, it sounds like they just formed a child studio to work along side 343i.

Team beyond poster w0uld has the series up and casted by him on his twitch of the same name.

 

[jizzlobber]

Rank resets are brutal for scrubs like myself, I'm getting my arse handed to me out there!!

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Ground pounds complete.

 

[Forerunner]

Ground pounds complete.

Cool, we should finish Achilles sometime this next year.

 

[jizzlobber]

Just watched the series, huke is a beast!
He's one of the best right now

 

[sir_dany12]

good. Halo. Kevin Franklin... does not compute

Something we agree

 

[Trup1aya]

Man, Action Sack is love!!! I think it would have been nice to have a playlist like this a LONG time ago. I have Yet to win a game of Husky Raid though. I'll get an overkill and my team will just sit back and camp the midway point.

Also, seeing Lxthul meltdown after losing to nV was just sad. Since its inception, He's been sour any time anyone mentioned that team as a potential competitor... Now this.

Then, Lxthul goes into defense mode on TB, and Snipedown apologizes for the misunderstanding... such a disparity in class regarding a simple harmless tweet.

 

[IHaveIce]

Updated system specs.

I'm suddenly sitting at Ultra lmao

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Maybe when Halo Wars 2 launches

Get gud is best meme? I dunno

Spoiler

tweeting "good games" after a scrim is, apparently, "bad manners"

Dude I'm getting good at Mouse/Keyboard. I may get a gaming rig for my house. Once the custom game browser is available I think the community might get crazy legit.
