Would be cool to know how many maps their are but other than that I really don’t want any spoilers.

I’m fairly certain no one in here is gonna share those leaks. My worry is everywhere else. I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of news and I’m afraid it’ll be spoiled one way or another. Especially afraid of random youtube recommendations that will leak the very thing in the title itself which you can’t really avoid. This really bummed me out. It’s going to be tough to stay away from those leaks till the games release.

I was hoping that the ranking system would be a little more inspiring Than halo 5’s. But so far it appears to have the same system. In one of the menu screens the UI let’s you click on ‘rank help’ and gives the info.
I liked halo 5’s rankings but I have issues with it for 2 reasons. When I play only with my friends there’s no way to determine who is the best. And when I play by myself I go up against squads and have teammates who are terrible.
Again I liked halo 5’s and I was onyx(champion a few times) every season but I felt better than onyx. Lots of champions hid behind playing with 3 good teammates. I was either soloing or playing with my friends who arnt great.
I just feel they played it safe. I think they should have either gone with something similar to how apex(and gears 5 now) does it or kept it like 5 BUT THE WORST PERFORMER ON THE WINNING TEAM DOESNT GO UP, BEST PERFORMER ON LOOSING TEAM DOESNT GO DOWN.
Yes winning is the most important thing, but I feel individual performance should have 25% of the weight in your ranking. Either that or 2 separate ranks one for team performance and one for individual. Thoughts?
Going to be interesting if PC players can control Commando recoil really well; first impression is that it’s a good short-mid range spam but better to slow down at long range but I could see Shroud turning it into a laser no matter the distance.
BR magnetism is really generous so it’s pretty easy to land most shots without ever scoping.
30 straight kills is called “boogeyman”. I love it, and some of the other medals like shot-caller.

Hey guys, someone from Brazil (or Latin America in general) is having trouble to find matches in the flight? I was able to play like 3 or 4 matches over the course of 4 hours. The game is amazing, really great, but even though I’m eager to play it, the servers aren’t really helping. I’m getting the “Unable to match There may be not enough players to support a game in this playlist. Please try a different playlist.” I know this can happen, since it’s a tech test, not complaning (even filled a ticket to help them), just want to know if I’m suffering alone, or if there’s something that I can do to fix it.

It’s a bug in the technical test.
When that happens, you need to restart the game by using the Dashboard Menu system to Exit. That will return you to the dashboard after it closes down the game. When you then start the game up, you should be finding matches again.
This has happened to me and I am in North Eastern Ohio where there are always players.
I wonder what level they consider the bots at vs an average player. Are we playing bots that are worse or better than a normal player?
I tried to reboot the console, since I have already tried that solution before, but no luck. Well, guess it’s not my turn to play, thanks for the help anyway 
PS: just realize that I posted on the wrong thread, should be on the technical test one, my bad.
PS2: on my last try before giving up, the game loaded, gone to a black screen, the returned to the menu. I almost recovered my hope lol
I have the impression that we are fighting different versions of ODST bots and they are using our data to rank them and classify them vs. an average player of the preview. If they end up with enough data, they will let us get into PvP matches to have a clearer picture of our level.
I do think that ODST are slightly above average. Even though these are still bad at tracking you down when out of sight, I have seen some behavior that is not common on the average player of other popular shooters… such as going on pairs or moving around the map to fight you from behind. But most likely they are below average for Halo MCC (mcc population is way above the average player).

It took them 2 months to get this flight to us from the time they broke it off from the main development branch.
I’m hopeful that as they are now 2 months closer to launch(meaning more polish on main branch) with the main branch that it won’t take 2 months every time they start a flighting build.
I was hoping we would get at least 2 more tests with them being about 3 weeks apart. That would put the last one at September 10th. Perfect for a September 28th launch! I wish.
ODST are gunna be worse than the average player for sure. I’ve played 30 matches or so. Worst game we won 50-22. Normal game was 50-12.
My average teammate should be an average player. My teammates thrash these bots. Meaning ODST boys arnt good enough for average players.
Man the Sounddesign in this game is so good. Every gun feels so good to use because of the crisp and punchy sound. The Sniper Rifle sounds so bad ass. I’m playing this with my b&o Xbox headphones and it’s an absolute treat. Awesome job
