Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

I'm doing considerably better just by playing FFA tonight(still shit like mind)
Being quick enough to remember to melee is making a hell of a difference.
 
I'm so confused at how Stronghold works. I mean, go an capture points I get, but what triggers your team's ability to score?

I've only played one game of Strongholds so far but I'd imagine that every 10-15 seconds it hands out points based on how many territories your team holds at that specific time.

Edit: Warzone servers working again.
 
I swear to god, it feels like my aim is going to shit in the time it takes me to switch playlists. Hop into FFA for a few games to get my aim dialed in, swap over to Team Arena and I'm back to not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.

I think I might know where some of my issues are coming from, and I was wondering if anybody has any advice: I've noticed my hands tense up when I'm going in for the kill. Ruins my ability to dial in those last shots if the other guy is doing even a slight amount of dodging. Anyone dealt with anything similar?
 
Is that the highest? Diamond?

Champion is.

Bronze - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Diamond - Onyx - Champion (Top 200 players)


mannnnn fuck you req packs! I swear they're playing games with me. Two silver req packs opened. Back to back DMR skins but still not DMR.
 
Don't understand why 343i is still translating map names and now even division names. In german Diamond is not Diamant like it should be, but it's "Raute". If you would speak german you would cringe and know that this is the equivalent to rhombus.

My buddy actually thought he was ranked below Bronze because of that weird translation...

It goes: Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Diamond -> Onyx -> Champion
 
Ok, so I know you can't go down in tiers for Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. I know you can go from Champion down to Onyx. But, can you go from Onyx down to Diamond?

Nope. Once you're in Onyx you're ranked against all other players with 1500+ CSR for that playlist. Top 200 are Champion.
 
No matter how hard I try, I can't get into the rhythm of FFA. Never really have. There's just too many ways to die and two many people on these maps. You get into a gun fight with someone, and either you just about win and someone behind you pops your head or someone pops you both and steals your kill while nailing you in the process. I know I need to hit gud but I'm struggling to see how.

Yes, this is exactly what happens to me!

I've been trying to play in a more relaxed position lately (sitting back, holding the controller lightly and playing with a calm state of mind) but I've had no luck so far. I have this friend who is really, really good at Halo and this is how he plays but it's not working for me (yet)
 
Matched up again and disconnected again like always all day. This is just sad now. Never had a problem like this with a video game before.
 
Who's idea was it that when you back out a matchmaking lobby it takes you to the main menu instead of the playlist? That's a bit dumb...

You're talking about me right, and not my stupid little brother. Right!?
 
I really like that map.

Finally played SWAT and ranked Platinum in the end

I'm not happy about myself tho, i pretty much got an avg K/D of 4.0 by camping 90% of the time lol there are like 3-4 maps with perfect spots for that, amazingly fun tho, helps a lot with the aim training too

Anyway, got to Gold on TS after an unlucky afternoon of shitty matchmaking...and freakin Silver on Breakout...it seems like i'm pretty shit at this one, probably the one where a coordinated team is especially needed as well tho

I really like that map.

*high five*

most hated map award goes to The Rig for me
 
I just breezed through the triple Warden fight on Legendary. All the fuss online about it made me expect something controller-breakingly frustrating, but the plentiful amount of Incineration Cannons and Scattershots made it super easy. I don't understand why so many people are raging over this.

I kept getting one coming up behind me while I was focusing fire on another.
