Good grief that new Bazaar map is amazing, had to play again tonight because it is just really fun to play!

What FOV everyone playing on. Trying to settle on something. Been playing at 120 on controller. I think this is affecting my accuracy a little bit.

I’ve been at 95, felt good.

The more I play the more I feel the need for a new elite controller hopefully 3.0 is not far away. Anybody not hearing AI voices and commentator? I don’t hear anything unfortunately from them.

The 3 maps are awesome they all have their own individual flavour.

Did you guys notice the air duct you can crouch walk into on bazar? You crawl into it from either side and drop into the heatwave spawn.

It’s a nice touch to the map that reminds me of the tunnel in high ground from halo 3. I want to see more of that kind of stuff.

This is how I feel too. It feels like the crescendo of a comeback story. The MP is something truly special in how it feels/plays. 343 has somehow captured some of that Bungie magic.

Has bit difficulty gone up or am I just getting worse?

Love the new bazaar map and think it will be great for capture the flag. The different routes and levels is great allowing for great flow. Usually slayer turns into holding the middle but it works. Unfortunately ai still makes a direct route as a group to start lol.

What makes you think the DMR and normal Carbine are coming back? :thinking::person_shrugging:

i imagine they will return at some point, if they arent in launch game (same with old shotgun)

Just think, when they showed Infinite at the Xbox showcase and still had 2020 in mind. MP must have also been fairly close to complete. They have had a whole year to fine tune, polish and perfect the maps. It really shows, MP just feels so good. Each of the 3 maps has so many different routes so never felt there weren’t options. Top stuff all round .

In the multiplayer overview that 343i did during E3, you can see at a moment in the video that the CTF mode will be present on Bazaar.

I’m having such a blast with this flight. Halo has returned to its former glory. The flight is actually really pumping me up for the campaign. The way it plays, how smooth it is on the Series X, i can’t wait to get to be Chief and slay some covies.

They better get the servers ready, this is going to be crazy at launch.

If this game is successful I think Gears 6 could have a free to play multiplayer too. Or maybe Sea of Thieves in the future.

Gears should find a way to push PVE as its main attraction to get people in.

Gears online will never be casual friendly which is whats supposed to get people interested.

When I played last night it seemed that the matches were closer than I recall before, and my team even lost a couple of times that hadn’t happened prior. So I don’t know, but it did seem that the bots were tougher for us last night. The Spartan level bots are going to get really interesting later today I guess :slight_smile:

I was getting beaten up by the bots at some points too.
