Ahh, must have seen the daily reset timer.
I'm still not sure I have it in me. That high of thinking I was done followed by the low of realizing there was one more hidden challenge really took the winds out of my sails.

Don't think about getting KS, just play and see if you make any progress after a few games. It's really not that bad if you don't hyper focus on it.
The ranked system is the definition of failing up. It's very easy to level up and very hard to go down.Speaking of, what are people's opinion on the Ranked Mode of this game?
I have seen some people say it's a mess, even at Onyx:
Reddit - Dive into anything

And also, it seems hard to lose rank on the bar even if you lose.
I had some mediocre performances but since it was a win my bar filled almost 50% and now I'm platinum 3
That fourth kill was some chefs kiss kind of good shit.
Side note - It's been over a decade and i'm still salty that they changed Killtacular from 4 kills to 5
Yeah we really need Josh or whoever to explain it better.
The lack of readability in the game lobby doesn't help. It is allegedly to "prevent toxicity" but I would really like everyones ranks to be shown. There is definitely some more complex systems in place. When I solo queue as a Diamond 5 I do well. When I play with my Onyx friend we get dumped on. Its so bad I told him I may have to play without him.
A poncho would be a cooler cosmetic than what we have so far tbh.
Overkill always made more sense for 4 kills to me, made getting a killtacular plus feel even more special and rewarding. Especially with the medal creep from 2 to 3.
I know it was. I'm just saying in general, an actual clothing article entices more than…a shoulder pad lol.
It's kinda like Miles Morales wearing a hoodie and sneakers over his spider suit. Does he need it? No. Does it look cool? Hell yes. Haha.
I'd be all about a poncho as a cosmetic item. Hopefully they add back items/covers so they can have something like the poncho.
had exactly this same experience on Saturday, but ended up playing a couple of hours yesterday and managed to do it. wasn't actually that difficult in the end.
I think people are quick to blame the controller settings when they don't land all their shots, but there are usually other factors in play. Like you might be playing outside of your region (Halo games do this a lot). If your ping is closer to or above 100, hitting and killing players becomes harder.
Another factor is mental. Even in normal playing conditions, and low latency environment, it is difficult to perform well on a consistent basis in these games day-to-day. And it has nothing to do with the controller settings. You see this in professionals sports as well.
Then there is inexperience. Some people expect to have perfect aim after fewer than 200 games played. When looking at ice hockey players who have a great slapshot, they have practiced that shot countless times. And they can do that same shot with different ice hockey sticks, with different flex ratings.
If you find controller settings that work for you, stick to those settings, get your muscle memory in place, and make everything a routine. Most importantly, have fun playing the game. I think those things make people perform more consistently.
Copying someone's controller settings is not going to do the work for anyone, they still need play enough games for those controls to be ingrained in their brain.
Yeah I think clothing articles (such as a poncho) on your Spartan would look cool. Part of the reason why Jun looks interesting is because he has that ghillie/hoodie/scarf thing around his neck.
Stuff like that is aesthetically cool to me, and not necessarily the armor.
Is that final challenge the same for everyone, or random? It looked like I couldn't swap it.
Challenges were super feasible for me this week, though I did use 1 skip.
That said, there's no shot I'm touching MP the week campaign launches so... here's hoping that week's ultimate reward isn't anything cool lol

It's a one shot if you direct impact. It might even be a one shot if you throw close enough at their feet.
I believe the final 5x killing spree challenge is the same for everyone. think they basically want to tie the reward to one consistent challenge, and everything else is about getting that challenge, if that makes sense.
if you directly hit them with it, they will die for sure.
I usually get one fusion coil kill at the beginning of every Zones match on fragmentation. Just pick up a coil, race to the closet zone and wait for someone to chuck it at.
I might just burn one of my rerolls. I've tried over 10 times and feel like I've both directly hit and thrown at feet, but not a single kill.
It's pretty easy to get kills with them on Fragmentation - especially from a height if you've man cannoned
I kept throwing them too high at first, I've stopped trying to arc the throw now and just do it more like using the Skewer. Had good success so far.
Just had the most confusing and disorienting bug I've seen so far. Was playing Strongholds in ranked and for some reason all the indicators for zones on the hud stayed the enemy color even when my team controlled them. The indicators at the bottom for poinhts controlled was correct, but it was very disorienting to constantly first reacting to the zones you're seeing and then having to figure out which ones really need to be captured.
Just aim directly at the enemies normally in close/medium range. It's an insta kill. Quick play will help due to smaller and tighter maps.
edit: I may have misread that do you need to kill 3 at once?
Does anyone else think the shields come back way too slow?
I'm curious how it relates to the other games. This game has small maps and fast gameplay. I feel like I spend way too much time recovering from fights. I had one guy plinking me from the opposite side of Bazaar. I hid in the commando room. He ran across the the map and came into the room before my shields came back.
Both the time it takes for the charge to start and the charge itself are rough. Its exacerbated by grenades delaying the charge.

I think shields come back too slow when I'm the one who needs shields back. But its perfect for opponents lol.
Considering the mobility options in this game its a good thing shields take so long to recharge, makes confirming kills more manageable.
i just want my heart emblem. have used it since h2. it took forever to unlock in in h5 got it around level 120. expect to have to pay 25$ for it
I think they got it pretty much perfect. Of course you want to shout at the tv when you want them to recharge, but the TTK is pitch perfect. Allows for some proper firefights that we don't really see in other online shooters, as well as having a nice bit of strategy attached to it.
