I can't decide if I like Breakout or not.

But uh... what's your guys rank in Team Arena?

Anybody else wish the campign was just focused on Locke's group and the MC is just seen in cutscenes?  For myself I enjoy his members a lot more than Johns due to them being more fun to be with.

No, I completely agree. I vastly prefer Osiris to Blue Team. They all have varied backgrounds and their inter-squad chatter is a lot better than Blue Team's. Granted, I may be biased in favour of Buck, Vale and Tanaka because books but still. I like Blue Team but they aren't all that interesting.

Kinda hard to make proffessional killing machines interesting. The only nice dynamic Blue has going on for them is the whole silent family kind of deal. Their bond goes beyond words essentially.

Which, sadly, is hard to translate outside of speech.

It works well in the books, yes. But in game, they're bland. I like that they stuck to the books, of course, but it made me realise I find them kind of boring.

This is one of those things I can't explain how I fell that great but like you said Blue Team is boring to be with. Locke's team to me is like the commandos in Star Wars RC. Locke is exactly the leader commando and Buck is the black and white one who is the joker of the group. To me with Blue Team there is no humanness to them to relate to and to get attached to. The only thing they have going for them is that the MC we played as since the start and the others are just characters in books. There is nothing game wise for me that makes playing with them fun. For Halo 6 I'm hoping they just write off the Chief and have a character that isn't a wet blanket.

I let my friends place me when I was letting them try the game out, now I can't get past gold 4 but that's because practically every other game is objective and I can't carry hard enough.  Slayer I rek nips though

It took me about a minute to realize that is a joke. It's sad that there are people out there that are that retarded to make something like that who are serous.

The thing is, Blue Team is awesome in the books. When you can get across how they can notice the slightest movements and gestures amd how effectively they work as a team, they are awesome. When they have shit ai and barebones dialogue (And no helmet removal), it takes some of that off. Osiris had a lot of banter in the squad, like when stickibg in an area for a while, and it makes them feel much more like characters.

I know that feel, it was a 3v4 for half my slayer games so I got placed in Plat. Then after winning like 4 games straight I finally ranked up to plat 2. Then I played one more for good measure and had a guy afk the entire game so I ended up ranking back down.

Damn, if Waypoint wasn't so blindingly white and filled with Halo fanboys, I'd consider going there. That's a nice looking forum they got there.

Aye Bacon you forgot something.

Covenant tech utilizes gravity manipulation. The Brute Chopper is literally a unicycle with a grav pad stabilizer at the back.

Who's to say that the Kraken walker doesn't or couldn't generate a gravity bubble up on its topheavy topside? In that manner, it reminds me of something like a jellyfish or a squid.

Which could be why they called it the Kraken.

I got banned for telling people not to interact with a user that was either stupid or a troll, and then the mod that banned me continued to take bait for at least a month afterwards. 343i knows how to pick their staff.

I now have both Scorpion and Corp Scorpion certification.


This is fine

yeah but do you have the scout warthog

Same, it's bloody great, probably my favourite power weapon that I've unlocked.

I'm still waiting for the DMR certification, I love using it in Arena when I can find one, and it'd be neat as fuck to use in Warzone. But hey at least I have the Scourge of Fire Plasma Caster :^)

Omg I just got a rage message

Yeah, I called in four tanks that game and sure, I was sitting outside an armoury the entire game letting them come to me.

But what am i supposed to do when I have a dozen tank cards and 9 energy?
