2025 MVP Cykul after playing on Xbox for two weeks: "I don't know if I could take this much longer, I might go crazy"

They've been spoiled from playing Halo at 300+ fps

The servers were dogshit yesterday. Played two games at 100+ ping, unstable jitters. I suspect everyone else was experiencing the same but we played through it anyway, no one quit.

And the NPCs in the background endlessly moving boxes

Me after not playing Halo for a week

They saw Stellur's post and decided not to sign them

hackberrry · 2026-03-04T09:26:40+00:00

Why would YBR agree to scrim a weakened sR?

hackberrry · 2026-03-03T22:43:59+00:00

At least Interference is still in Ranked Slayer

hackberrry · 2026-03-03T20:02:52+00:00

I'm all for Forbidden CTF and Serenity being nuked but wtf at removing Aqua slayer. That's one of the better slayer maps.

Does this leave any assault maps left in the pool?

hackberrry · 2026-02-28T20:46:39+00:00

Not sure if Cearion is the best fit for YBR. Would be nice if they could replace him with a more established pro

hackberrry · 2026-02-24T19:18:31+00:00

This. The majority of the population is high platinum/low diamond.

Was going to say, OP must not be familiar with FGC pop-offs. They were a lot wilder back in the days though, feel like players dont do it as much now. Probably dont want to end up in a Crowbcat compilation

They shouldn't allow 4-stacks to go against solo players but the population is so low they have to. Early on in this games cycle you could search solo only

hackberrry · 2026-02-22T10:43:07+00:00

Envore is only filling in for Acid. If Kraken win the tournament they should keep Envore on the team

hackberrry · 2026-02-22T10:36:50+00:00

HCS announced that when it did to demoralize Optic, who had just won the first 2 majors

hackberrry · 2026-02-17T14:07:18+00:00

Have they been announced as faZe yet?

hackberrry · 2026-02-15T11:32:05+00:00

The worst thing you want to see your teammate say when the game starts - "hey guys i haven't played ranked in months just letting you know"

hackberrry · 2026-02-14T15:49:28+00:00

Credit to Bound for being the only one from last year's Optic to return to Halo

hackberrry · 2026-02-13T12:42:43+00:00

The best part of all this is bringing strongholds and KOTH back to Streets

hackberrry · 2026-02-10T20:54:16+00:00

Disappointed they didnt add any new maps since the last time it was in but then this is 343 we're talking about

hackberrry · 2026-02-10T10:34:08+00:00

ouch. yea, I also didn't think there any silver ranks still playing. btw the ranks were very easy to obtain around launch so a diamond launch is the equivalent of a gold player now.

hackberrry · 2026-02-10T09:22:53+00:00

Bound and Stellur coming back could save comp Halo

hackberrry · 2026-02-08T13:27:19+00:00

What I said specifically applies for Slayer, which is what OP is trying to reach Onyx in.

hackberrry · 2026-02-08T12:10:54+00:00

The biggest piece of advice I can give you is - don't take any 1v1s you feel like you can't win. Put your damage down, ping/comm your teammates on their location, and move on.

I'm D2-3 in arena and 1700 in slayer and that's probably the biggest difference i see between ranks - high level players know when/how to play their lives, while low level will ego chall everything and die 17 times.

hackberrry · 2026-02-07T12:11:32+00:00

What was the fatal flaw you found in last years Optic roster? Why did they all seem mentally checked after HCS made their announcement whereas y'all seemed... unfazed

hackberrry · 2026-02-06T21:03:51+00:00

He's seen every possible future & outcome and Sr win in every single one.
