My first Arena match got me a rating of 1,336. One better and I'd have never played Arena again so it never changed.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
OH NO, JAGUAR LEADER IS DOWN
Garr, Toku, Skills, fucking AWESOME games despite the fact that we've all been up all day and are absurdly tired. We went 5 wins 4 losses, and that last game man, holy shit. I don't think I've ever played a game where we've managed to hold the open area on top of the office so well for almost the entire match.

He was probably mad because he didn't wanna punch out there.

Tails I'm going to be joining you in Gold pretty soon if today's Arena was indicative of the calibre of players I'm going to have to play against from now on.
Also you better be getting online for Invasion because I've only got ~90 minutes if it goes up on time. FELIPE NO |
Provisional Division assignments, like the ones you received, are derived from qualifying population. At some point you were Gold among those who'd qualified. Now, as more people have qualified you've moved back.
Among your 1550 or whatever yesterday, you probably laid a few eggs, those games counted, too. Additionally, your daily rating doesn't take into account the quality of opponents (the formula is on bungie.net there's no value for 'Am I playing Steel or Onyx dudes'). So even in Steel - guys are going to have big games and put up 1700s - and that's good. A high Day Rating is like being a great minor league pitcher, your Mom is proud, but you aren't on SportsCenter. From Luke Smith, over on GAF, in case anyone's curious. Oh! I just read the BWU closer, and I think this is how it works. 1. Play 3 games in a day to get a daily rating. This lets you compare how you're doing on a day versus another day, but otherwise doesn't do much. 2. During each of those games, you're ranked based on your rating, rather than your kills, as you can see during a game. This is what's put into TrueSkill. 3. TrueSkill is used to determine the divisions. 4. As more people start playing, the threeshhold for the divisions changes. As more and more people qualify better than you, you start to risk dropping down a division. How ya doing, buddy? |
Invasion is Big Team Battle, but double crazy.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
OH MY GOD. Invasion Mode. You're the Elites, and you're all PEW PEW PEW with the lasers and the Spartans are all POW POW POW with the rifles, then your bro goes down and you're like FUUUUUUUUUUCK so you stab a Spartan to avenge him and then you hide till he respawns, then you ROLL IN THERE AND BLOW SHIT UP and the Spartans are all OH SHIT NIGGA and grab tanks and shit, but you grab the Comedy Gun and it's all GOOSH GOOSH GOOSH and then BOOM those motherfuckers are dead then you run in and grab the core and it's a fucking epic scene as 6 big ass aliens roll out, surrounded by dead Spartans to motherfucking
(invasion rules) How ya doing, buddy? #654: Braixen |
Judging from that post, Invasion only aight huh?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Desert why are you such a busta.
I was speaking idiomatically. #654: Braixen |
Ok now that I've played it I agree with you that rolling your way to victory is ballin. Gonna have to shed that busta status now.

Invasion Slayer is my new favorite anything EVER. Just the right mix up, just the right mechanics and balance. And the map they showcase is FANTASTIC.
Holy motherfucker this mode is all I'm ever gonna play ever. EVER FELIPE NO |
At first I was going to say you're fucking crazy, but then I see how you were a Spartan every Invasion game you played but one, so that makes sense. I'm going to make a post in a bit when I update the OP, but Invasion is totally unbalanced giving the Spartans the advantage (they have ranged weapons in first Phase when Elites do not, and get the Grenade Launcher Loadout which lets easily nerf any enemy vehicle while the Elites have nothing even close to comparable). At first I thought I just sucked or something, but then when I started playing as the Spartans I was kicking ass or something, then I look and basically almost everyone has the exact same complaints. I'll get into that later though, but ultimately I'm really disappointed in the mode.
I think the map is fine but waaaay too big for 6v6, especially in Invasion Slayer (and especially in Phase 1 when you have no ranged loadouts except magnums for the Spartans arguably). What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
ULTIMATELY I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR FACE
nah nigga you just mad I rocketed you really though you're right, they should have a needle rifle for every instance Spartans have a DMR! Map size may be too big but that's only because half of it is never used. No one was ever on that far side though so 'eh! The front half of it was pretty awesome, though. Invasion Slayer is infinitely more ballin than Invasion regular though! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I totally deserved the rocket, I have no idea how I fucked up driving that badly. I very very rarely ever drive the Warthog in Halo multiplayer, and it shows. My gunner was fucking terrible though.
Most amazing jew boots |
I was so furiously reloading you have no idea
"OH GOD I AM SO FUCKED GO GO GO GO SHOOT SHOOT SHO-" ::explosion destroys all four of us:: This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Anyway, OP massively updated, and I put my impressions of everything in there as appropriate. There's a bunch of little new things in there, but the only thing in particular I'll point out is a new section I put at the top of things Bungie has confirmed have been already fixed/adjusted or will be before the final game comes out. Current listing:
I will continue to update the OP though as relevant (probably on Fridays with the Bungie Weekly Update, depending on what's hit or not hit that week). I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
It's good to know they acknowledge the beat-down bullshit is a bug and will be fixed. Now I really don't have a reason to get pissed about it next time it happens to me. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Sometimes, when I play Halo, I feel like I need to be taking copious amounts of drugs. Psychotropics and maybe some Hallucinogens. Good games tonight Devo. I wonder when Bungie will give me my division?
FELIPE NO |
Also forgot to mention TEAM ROFFLE SHAKE went 8-3 in Invasion this afternoon.
Would all the posers please leave the room. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? #654: Braixen |
