Flair posted:Where do you find the pulse carbines? I only know the location on two maps: behemoth and bazaar. On behemoth it's off near the edge next to one of the vehicle spawns and on bazaar it's back next to where your flag is in CTF. I think it's also random if you get this weapon rotation or another.

The only thing that bothers me about Deadlock is that in one of the game modes, one of the bases gets 2 commandos while the other gets 2 battle rifles. In every other game mode it's 1 and 1. Pisses me off when I'm on the commando side.

In every other game mode it's 1 and 1. Pisses me off when I'm on the commando side. Man I have so many issues with it. It's just not a good BTB map imo. On the objective modes the map essentially gets split in half in a way that doesn't happen on the other maps. That combined with the massive open areas you have to run through (there also aren't enough vehicles) make it somehow feel too small and too big at the same time. I also think the other maps are better about having geographical terrain that give the attacking teams benefits. Like Fragmentation has rock outcroppings that give the attacking team really good cover and vision on the opposing base. On Deadlock it feels like you essentially have to get a lucky push or have the game drop you a tank or something to actually take the enemy team's zones.

I think Halo 5 got a big single player rebalance, and 4 definitely could’ve used the same.

Now I'm just a simple internet poster but doesn't that make the challenge swaps a really limited utility thing thing? They're for players who care enough to progress and try to get a better challenge but don't care enough about the weeklies where they need all of them anyway?

Are challenges built and scored based on difficulty or completely random? Why is 10 pvp kills with the pulse carbine worth the same xp as 1 pvp kill with the stalker rifle?

I'm getting tired of CTF on Bazaar in Ranked. I always seem to wind up playing that one. Ranked also needs progression based on player performance instead of just W/L. Sometimes I feel like I'm the most competently performing member of my team and all that means nothing when we lose. The extra experience bonuses for daily play are nice, yeah, and if Season Passes don't expire I might try sending some money their way. Might. We'll see if they fix the rest of the challenge system.

If on launch they have four playlists that are Quick Player Slayer , Quick Play Objective, BTB and BTB Slayer. I will be happy. Itll be better if theres the huge spread of strange playlists griffball / zombie whatever but id be fine with that separation

Also calling bullshit on them not having a social slayer playlist queued up to go either. That's been the backbone of halo mp since the first. It's being held back for most likely MT reasons.

How do they not have these playlists ready to go?

I don't care about the playlists, I think it's okay as it is. more is better but I don't mind the current slayer/oddball/ctf/control thing. though I'm getting a little sick of Oddball at Live Fire and anything at Launch Site

It sounds simple but has a surprising amount of QA work involved

I hope they add a Doom Praetorian armor core to this game, since Microsoft owns both of the green shooty boys now. I hope you could just buy it from the store instead of doing a challenge pass but boy howdy if you could play this game as a DOOM 2016 guy, that would just be the bee's knees.

I...kind of like that they're forcing objective modes into all playlists...they're peak Halo in a lot of respects but it's very hard to get people (myself included) to queue for them when vanilla Slayer/Team Slayer are available.

I'm not going to lie, I don't mind and sometimes even love the insane tie-ins with Rockstar or Doritos or whatever. The weird part about the Chipotle offer is that its just challenge swaps. Not even Double XP. Just a goddamn challenge swap!! Seems weirdly stingy.

Assault is just flag but backwards and it explodes. Objectively better tbqh, but it falls down on two crucial counts. 1) flag was here first 2) flag looks cooler
