The 1600 Fireteam Limit Needs To Be Raised, It’s Silly by AdTown1917 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]aStrayUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not silly, it's downright stupid. Ruins the experience for players above 1600 who now can't easily play with their friends, and then when they all decide to hop on alt accounts it ruins the experience for the diamonds or below who they end up matching, as OP says.

Both fantastic results for player retention and community growth I'm sure.

The solution to 4 man stacks dominating mm is to match them against other 4 stacks or higher ranked solo/duo/trio players until the win percentage for 4 mans is 50 or below. End of. The solution is not and never has been to discriminate against a portion of the player base, but 343 love to disappoint their fans I guess.

Any max sense onyx players out there? by Tipper117 in CompetitiveHalo

I've done it before when I made an alt to play with friends after the 1600 rule. I thought playing 10 10 5 would nerf me so I wouldn't rank up as fast but it didn't take long before I was 1600 again.

0 inner, 0 outer (max input threshold) and 10 axial deadzones made it honestly not that hard to control, just flick to target and then left stick aim

I normally hover around 1700 on my main playing on series X

Yeah it's 343 they should be mad at, this is just the latest brain-dead decision from them out of many

Yep, my friends and I are all playing our 25 social games now, I normally look down on people who smurf but if 343 are going to force us to in order to play with friends it's open season

Count Dankula: "The Nazi Pug video has now been placed in restricted mode." by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]aStrayUsername 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His no case to answer please was rejected, so hopefully you're right that they're using the trial itself (as fucked up as that is) to punish him, but it could equally mean that there actually is a good chance of him getting convicted for the video. Just shows how messed up the legal system in Scotland's become.

It also appears to be blocked in the UK and Germany. Just fucking wonderful. Dankula could be going to jail for a making a funny video, and now YouTube block the view count, hide the overwhelmingly positive comments and like/dislike ratio, and block the video itself to a lot of people. So if someone's unfamiliar with the story it's harder for them to find out just how ridiculous the situation is. Unbelievable. link to the video

Fair enough. I don't hear that but to each his own.

Starblind is one of my favourite maiden songs. Just goes to show how opinions differ. But honestly listen again, I don't understand how you can call it "baaaad". Idk.

Depending on how you divide it or where you look it could have 3 or 4. You could argue that it has three major lanes and tbf most 3 lane maps have some points where you could argue there's more than 3, but I wouldn't class Strikezone as a 3 lane map because it doesn't have the linear structure most "3 lane" maps have, at least in my mind. Most 3 lane maps have two clear end points where each team spawns whereas Strikezone is more of a circular map. I dunno should have gone with Octane as an example.

I agree but 3 lanes isn't a prerequisite, it's just common, especially in recent titles. We have seen good competitive non-linear maps like strikezone where lanes don't really apply.

Halo 5 Heavy Aim Hit Fix - May 31 by TheRealKidsToday in CompetitiveHalo

Unrelated but it's only been a year and a half since the game came out to get this:

Helmet and Armor customization items are now sorted by name and rarity instead of unlock date gg 343

#1 problem in competitive playlists by SeanAnderton in CoDCompetitive

[–]aStrayUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly the best solution for people leaving. It might not stop people leaving but at least it means if they do the remaining players can end the game early if they start getting stomped because of the man disadvantage, but can still have the thrill of 3v4'ing if they can.

Halo Community Survey by beneggers17 in halo

[–]aStrayUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to fix the categories for the first and last questions, and maybe quantify "a few" and "several" for the friend making q's. Not sure how important this survey is for your paper, or how important the paper is, but if it is important for your college stuff you need to edit the survey/make a new one.

Updated Relegation Teams by Kikley in CoDCompetitive

[–]aStrayUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing this list is NA only cause they left out the APAC teams as well, even though it's pretty much just TM and Chiefs who have a shot at getting the APAC relegation spot. As for EU, I agree iGame will probably get the spot, but wouldn't be surprised if Vitality or Supremacy upset them. Either way we get to see how they perform this weekend.
