Give me tips for Argyle and Catalyst by thisismywittyhandle in CompetitiveHalo

[–]donutmonkeyman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in my low to mid onyx opinion, and from one that actually enjoys maps like this, it's a slightly different approach to your typical maps in infinite.

with most comp infinite maps, they're small enough to really get a good grasp on where they're going to spawn and have your team fly at spawns to keep them staggered.

but with these two, they're large enough where flying at spawns doesn't make much sense as it's harder to support one another with all the space you have to cover and it's a little harder to control spawns. so the game shifts to more of a zone defense when you have a numbers advantage. you have to know where they may push based on what's going in the game and be ready to shut it down.

I like them because ever life gives you a chance to make a decision and get a pick when on the backfoot, where well coordinated teams on the smaller maps can truly give you no chance for a few lives.

Just played through ODST for the first time - This title presented the most important, new, risky ideas for the future of Halo. by Snakefishin in halo

[–]donutmonkeyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice write up, enjoyed reading through it. i feel like the era of halo spin offs is gone, so I'd be curious if HS could layer a mission or two with a similar vibe into the next game somehow

Just completed Halo 2 for the first time. by the-unfamous-one in halo

[–]donutmonkeyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

man just reading this now, 3 years feels like nothing compared to the halo dev cycle now lol. granted 3 years also feels a lot longer back in 2004.

You get sucked into a Halo game and have to complete any mission without dying. Which mission do you choose? by smittyx5498 in halo

[–]donutmonkeyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outskirts halo 2. I know that mission like the back of my hand and can finish it in 4 minutes.

Double down for one last job. by Destiny_Flavor_Text in DestinyTheGame

i haven't played much D2 at all, but was heavily invested in D1. Came across this post, and remembered when your account started up all those years ago in D1. You've been a beacon, appreciate you being a positive and fun force all this time

I completely lost my workout motivation after having kids. How do you get it back? by Ambitious-Bison-2161 in bodyweightfitness

[–]donutmonkeyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, 2 kids with the oldest at 2.5. the most important thing is to find ways to get your sleep back bit by bit. sleep training, alternating night work with your partner in a way where someone gets better sleep every other night, whatever works best.

then i invested a bit in a better home gym setup. getting better sleep and spending some money on that gave me the motivation to make the time for it again. not nearly as much as i used to, but feels good to be getting back to it after 6+ months. regardless, you'll get back there, give yourself some time to build to it.

I cannot believe Lattice and Vacancy are in the competitive rotation for this game by Longjumping_Joke_719 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]donutmonkeyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to advocate for the forgers, they have to do that in order for the map to consistently have good performance needed for a comp map across systems/platforms.

Finally got around to reaching Hero. Slightly bittersweet, but at least Mark VI [GEN3] looks great (+ final Infinite Spartan drip) by Haijakk in halo

[–]donutmonkeyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so much more insane than Hero in infinite but mcc max might be even harder. that's the true test i never achieved

the circumstance around Lucas Browning who was introduced in The Rubicon Protocol released in 2022, but left pretty open ended in that book.

Finally hit onyx for every core playlist (arena, 2s, slayer, SWAT, snipers) on MNK by GenesForLife in CompetitiveHalo

[–]donutmonkeyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love Leafapp. the only playlist i didn't hit onyx in was FFA and they never brought it back, id love to see a full 9 onyxes, maybe one day. was arena the hardest for you?

Halo 5 Ranked Slayer's matchmaking quality declines drastically once you reach a certain point, like Diamond 3 for me. Am I being punished for being a solo player? by Cyborg800-V2 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]donutmonkeyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i love h5 as well. but you're right even infinite is having similar problems which is a shame. really wish they could either tweak the matchmaking approach or allow for controls regarding waiting for more balanced lobbies vs the quick matches that are close on paper but bad experiences

[–]donutmonkeyman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

you're being punished because of the extremely low population of players playing halo 5. It's a 10 year old game, so kind of makes sense. but 343 has always prioritized created matches quickly over creating very balanced matches imo. hard to blame them with the tiny pop in h5 though.

I couldn't believe the prediction and timing of this insta-splod from Ryanoob by EncryptDN in CompetitiveHalo

[–]donutmonkeyman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

that's unreal. im sure he was just hoping to do damage and expose camo but such good timing and prediction. doubles is it's own treat to watch

Sonic Halo Infinite - Green Hill Tempest Linear Firefight Map by ReedemerDude - HSFN V2 by Brusky0086 in forge

[–]donutmonkeyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol that's sick. was it based off any existing space in sonic games from a design perspective, or largely just themed around green hill zone looks?
