So its better to find a random phone to do this on? Just leave it on at home and let it go to work?

I wouldnt use my main phone because that ask permission to access your data.But if you are fine with that go ahead and go for it.If you got other phones laying around use them as well.

Easy money with perk.

Honestly I find myself equally excited for H2 and H3.

H2 is a classic and will be fun af to play again, especially competitively.

H3 though, that was my peak as a player and I can't wait to play it again 60FPS.

 

[carver]

Can we even play only h2 or h3

343 and their lies got me thinking not.

 

[spizike231]

So um.....

Why did I just get a call from Gamestop saying that their policy for game pick up on Monday will be

"Official launch time will be 12:01 EASTERN TIME, which means that you will be able to pick up your copy at 9:01 PACIFIC TIME."

Just called my Gamestop.. they confirmed. Games handed out at 9. They aren't finalizing receipts this time around, but they're gonna let people in at 9 about 3 or 4 at a time to finish paying for the game and pay it off, then they get their copy there.

stil, for me its not quite ideal. i only wanna play team slayer Halo 3,4 and 2 anniversary. I may play an objective game every now and then but I don't prefer them. I also have no desire to play go halo 1 or 2

 

[carver]

Dope GS is doing that

 

[spizike231]

Is the eSports playlist gonna be just H2, or H2 and H3? All games?

343 better update those playlists..

 

[antidope]

Optic 

, not even surprised. A bunch of main slayers on the roster, this was what I expected to happen

Objective>Slayer. Join the wave mane. Even though I played more Slayer than anything, Objective is miles better.

eSports is H2A only and its staying that way. H2A has become the universal competitive game because of 343s promised support of it.

I agree on the objective > slayer statement, although at first I wasn't feeling that way. In no way does that mean that Slayer should be eliminated from competitive play, though. Slayer and objective should be balanced evenly IMO for competitive play, because both types require teamwork.

As far as eSports and H2A, does that mean that H3 will get not a single **** given about a Pro playlist? No Team Slayer Pro or anything? That sorta sucks.

how can 1 know who's the best when they only play crap like oddball or ctf.

Thats actually 1 thing I liked about Destiny, Control. It may have had objectives, but the underlying game was still TDM

Yup equally excited for 2 and 3

Yup they did the game launch for everyone at the same time of 12 am est for COD as well.I got my copy at 10:45 central time.Its dope and thats how it shouldve always been.

So wait im lost?

Is each game in its own collection like i can pick and only play halo 2 or just play halo 3?

Or are the games and types of matches mixed?

 

[spizike231]

how can 1 know who's the best when they only play crap like oddball or ctf.

Competitive play is mainly about teams and teamwork. The better TEAM will always win at objectives, while often times you see less teamwork and more individual skill required in Slayer games.

 

[swendro]

Dope GS is doing that

Nah this is BS for people in the eastern time zone.
might as well move it up to 9pm for east 6pm pacific.

Im not talking about esports competitive play, Im talking about just normal slayer, team slayer. having the highest rank, best skill etc. I equate it more to a game of pick up rather than actual organized basketball. Im there to win and get mine. Im not about taking charges and setting picks

Yall just upset that you won't have a 3 hour jump on us West Coasters anymore huh

It'll be the way it was before, more than likely 7-4 in favor of objective. 

Halo 3 is in Team Hardcore with Halo 2 Classic and is rumored to be using Halo 3 MLG settings but to be honest, no ones going to be voting for anything Halo 3 over Halo 2, H3 is pretty disliked when it comes to competitive Halo.

APG bout to flourish

This is the reason why I hate playing Team Slayer by myself. I always get stuck w/ people that don't care about working as a TEAM to win a game in a TEAM playlist.. if you want to just play by yourself then stick to Rumble or FFA I guess.

I play both ffa and tdm, but unless Im in a party, thats how i roll. Im gonna give the team 10-15 kills, 8-10 deaths and a few assists. the rest is up to my teammates
