Kinda bullshit that you can spawn outside of the red ring in LSS at the end.
I was in the final two, one life left and lost because I couldn't get into the zone in time.

Would be neat if they eventually did a special Last Duo Standing playlist
This is something I wish there was a workaround for: The structure of the challenge system makes these awkward moments when you have to stop playing with friends to make progress, because of how narrowly objectives (like FFA-only) are defined. For a social-heavy game, that seems like a really fucking dumb setup. I'm more likely to just call it a night and ignore (or resent) the challenge than play it then meet back up.
They need to allow parties in ffa modes…
Also Im enjoying this new btb map though i havent tried real btb yet. My disappointment so far is that somehow this season feels even less polished than season 1. Im seeing more visual oddities and slowdowns. Doesn't help that this event is centered around leaving early and not seeing your progress counted immediately.

Nah, exploits like this needed to be fixed in the older titles and in Halo 3 Bungie even addressed some of them like on The Pit.
Why? That only leads to boosting and messing the ranking system up even more. FFA has always been a solo playlist.
Looking forward to the new modes. Excited for some fresh unlocks, etc.
Because 343 needs another 10 years to get a fully functional theater mode.
Such is the nature if a happy accident. Unintended good was discovered.
"Every single change" isn't an affront to the experience. But when players find unintensional depth in a map, what value is there in removing it? Especially when most people can't execute it anyway.
You have no qualms... but chances are you'd would never be impacted by this change either way.
lol when it's an exploit it's a "happy accident". That's on the developers to decide. They don't want those areas of their maps exploited that way, and they made a decision that they want for their map design. Balance decisions are made all the time in online games, and this is just one of them.
And that why I don't care about it. I'm not trying to piss anyone off with my position. It just doesn't affect me, and seems like such a minor thing. My take is to let it go, chill and move on. From Software nerfed weapons I was using actively. I accepted the change and moved on to something else. I don't know. I guess I've always been ok with developers updating their games because people have found ways to do things not in line with how the devs planned their game to be.
I think the biggest issue is that they're wasting their time "fixing" things literally nobody was asking to be fixed whilst dozens of far bigger problems remain.
At least for the special modes it should be casual. I want to play LSS with friends without needing customs
Wrong, drop slides were a thing in H5 too until it got fixed.

RIP super slides 1/26/16, you will be missed.Super sliding in weekend Team Snipers.Thank you to The Bald Unit for this trick, you can watch his in depth tuto...

Stupid question, but how do you get the silver from the season 1 battle pass? I bought it ages ago and am level 96, but I have zero silver in my account and it's not listed anywhere in there as a reward?
I thought you earnt a bunch from progressing the battle pass?

I think it's bugged because I've been getting all kinds of modes in quick play but only see attrition.
Don't quit a game after you completed an event challenge, it will track but you will not get the reward unlocked and lose the challenge! Wait until it has ended properly
There's no credits in the S1 BP, they only started giving out credits with S2 BP.
Fair point - I forgot about those. Although those were way more ergregious than anything they're changing here.Wrong, drop slides were a thing in H5 too until it got fixed.

And that's without people able to queue up together. Imagine if people were able to squad up.
They decided and players are deciding to critique the decision.
Them deciding they don't want these areas "exploited" this way, will have no impact on most players, and will negatively impact the rest.
Balance decisions made all the time… and sometimes the decisions are bad. This is just one of them.
The fact that there's was absolutely no commentary about this makes it pretty clear that it wasn't about correcting broken gameplay, and that it was sure to be unpopular.
Are you looking at the game mode list? You can scroll down. I got 1 flag and attrition in quick play.
that's not true. not what's happening to me, at least.
At the end of the day an exploit was patched and if people want to throw their toys out of the pram, that is indeed their right to do so.
Getting 10 Headshots...is hard for me in Last Spartan Standing as the Pistol I suck at lol.
man, real talk: the breaker map is absolutely GORGEOUS. the art department at 343 is top notch, which just makes me sad because i really wanted that Infinite didn't so many issues so we could have more beatiful and different maps like this. also more visual variety in the campaign.
Normally, I would say a regular fan feeling "betrayed" after making videos on these things is silly, but 343 specifically hired Shyway to cast and do instructional videos, then they go ahead and do this lol.
It's bananas how there are still people defending the obviously bad decisions of this company after over 10 years to anyone paying attention.
how are they even doing it
just messaging each other at the beginning of the match or what?
Oh is that what's happening? I finished multiple event challenges and still seem to be at level 1 of the event. Hadnt looked into it yet. Upset that those challenges were potentially wasted.
Why would they specifically put up a message telling you its okay to quit if they havent actually validated with testing whether its okay to quit or not 😞
I'm pretty sure 343 have even shown his skill jump videos during the esports events.
I can't wrap my head around it.
The "it's their game" defense when the goal should be making players enjoy the game. None of these jumps broke the map… as most people can't pull them off… we even saw Pro's in KC this weekend dying because they failed to pull them off. Yet somehow these exploits needed to be removed… in secrecy no less.
They absolutely did.
Also, during the events we had commentators (including shyway) highlighting moments where player succeed/fail and noting the movement skill gap on display.
This is so silly to removed depth from your game… even if you didn't realize it was there when you made it.
Getting a weird bug where a shot will suddenly not fire/give any visual or rumble feedback in the middle of a BR duel. Also feels like im getting inputs lost a little more often at the point where the game is just finishing some laborious animation.
maybe its just the high latency games im getting tonight but it is very distracting
on the plus side, i like the new arena map from the games I played! CTF feels fairly tight on it, and i like the vaguely halo CE-esque design

"Betrayed" is some weapons-grade melodrama over Halo.
If I had to guess, the same way that some people Stream Snipe. Trying to find a lobby at *exactly* the same time.
I mean, in this case it's literally the guy's job - 343 even showed his content in their own streams and hired him to commentate in pro tournaments. Then they go and remove a lot of the stuff which he bases his content around.
The Staunch Defenders won't see it this way, but 343 often alienates its most hardcore and supportive fans. It's bizarre.
EDIT:
Case in point lol.
The guys relationship with 343 was based largely on the popularity of his movement tutorials.
They paid him eloquently to talk about the depth of Infinite's maps and mechanics.
I'd feel bad it I was promoting these things, seemingly with 343s blessing, while they are secretly planning to axe it.
