Fishy

If you know you have to do something or something is going to happen, then don't join a match. Problem solved. And if everyone uses the "Power cut, internet router restarted, my dog accidentally walked up and touched the power button." excuses, then everyone could get away with it. Simple as that, your power cuts out. Don't go instantly joining another match with fear of it happening again, also you do NOT get banned for quitting one match, they must have quit two more matches. I presume that the power outage was so bad it counted as three games worth? Nonsense. Your one quit goes against the count of 3, before you're banned. So yeah. No. Stop quitting and you won't have a problem.

Halo 5's matchmaking pairing system is flawed. Also, penalties for betrayal? You deserved a boot and a ban for that. That's common sense. Even if you did accidentally splatter him with the ghost, Halo 5 made it so you can put the ghost to an immediate halt. As for matchmaking issues, I've encountered none. Every now and then the game will go whacky and not let me play, but that's to an internet issue on my end or someone's end in the fireteam. A router reset or even a relaunch of the game fixes it. People are just too lazy to find solutions that solve their problems, and revert to simply accusing others (mostly 343) of their problems. Because it's never their fault, right?

Updated yesterday:

(Can't believe I'm just now seeing this thread.) However, not going to argue with you on this. I'm just going to say that there is fans who recreated a bunch of gametypes, Halo 3 specifically. Jenga Blow Up The Bridge Fat Kid Cops & Robbers Trash Compactor Termites Duck Hunt Bart's Manor Poo on Toilet Halo on Halo Shark's and Guppies Ice Cream Minotaur ...Those are a few of them I have played, and are actually exact remakes of previous versions. Some of the original creators of the maps were even impressed as well, as seen on https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/2mo7ky/here_are_around_10_halo_3_classic_custom_maps/other than that, that's really it. People just remade them, then stopped playing altogether cause MCC was terrible to begin with.

Guess that means no more RWBY spoilers. We're in the clear.

You were saying?

It's so weird seeing people come from the OFFICIAL forums just to complain about the OFFICIALS on a COMMUNITY forum. Also, Peanut. He's banned for stat-flaiming/flaming. Looking through his posts, his ban was asked for. Most of his recent posts on the first 2 pages are nothing but flaming/stat-flaming. It was deserved.

Poll ends in two days! Make sure to get them votes in if you ARE attending!

Awe darn, Yoshi beat me too it. I just double checked for ya. You got Legionnaire Optio, and Seeker Horizon. Probably the best Legendary helmets in the game, enjoy!

Not for a long time, especially with the Backwards Compatibility games they're doing and including functional online services with them. (Don't know how else to answer this with a really detailed explanation)

1. Aim assist isn't a problem, I believe you can disable it. 2. Uh, no way. NO WAY. Have you used the Halo 2 BR? I know I have, I own the REQ. I out BR the Halo 5 BR all the time. If anything, the Halo 5 BR has a slower firing rate. Damage is the same. Don't know where you get your specs for it, but they're wrong. 3. Combat Evolved physics, people complained about Halo 4 being terrible at getting splatters and players asking for it. They basically reset it to CE settings. 4. Again, Combat Evolved. The Ghost sits up higher in that game, as well as does the Wraith, than the other Halo's. You getting splattered by the ghost is your fault. As they are easily to spot and easy to hijack. The only reason I can see you having a problem, is if you're challenging them head on yourself. Whereas they will target you and they will destroy you unless you have a LOT of cover. If you're being boosted at, the best technique is to jump and thruster backwards, holding "X" (Default) and hijack it. This works 95% of the time, just don't do it when you're on top of a hill. (This is coming from a guy who took out a ghost using only a tree as cover, on Basin. Almost dying 6 times.)

Gravity Hammer Bayonet! More colors! Also, plasma repeater? :DDD I'm just throwing guesses, I'll post the update Monday when they release the REQ's. (Unless someone beats me too it.)

Most people who post these threads are from quitting. If you know you have a bad internet connection and keep getting kicked, maybe you should stop for awhile and go do something else. You're literally contradicting yourself there with this quote: You're quitting games or getting booted, whatever excuse is the reason. You should just stop playing Arena if the problem happens twice. Doing it three times in a rapid session is where you're getting banned. I suggest seeing if you're having an issue ISP wise, or if it's how you have your Xbox One setup. Maybe you just have problems connecting to the servers. Either way, you may want to look into it before you're banned for 2 weeks.

You get it by picking it up from me, you'll have a greater chance that way. It's a loadout weapon, it is NOT included in the BR loadout category, it has its own. Also, Welcome to the forums.

Well we won't have too, since Halo 5 is winning so far.

Update as of February 11th, 2016 Games Added to February Lineup: Alan Wake's American Nightmare Lego Batman Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space Trials HD

You're not supposed to tell them that.

Assault isn't that famous, but it's a classic from Combat Evolved. (No not the medal) However, I'm super glad Grifball and Oddball are coming in, it adds more potential playlists in the future. (Hopefully we can finally get a Team Objective with all these game modes) However, I'm curious as to what those other "ball" gametype is... Maybe Ricochet? Waiting for the video though release or "blurred" REQ sheet we'll get to see. I already know "Old School" (another pistol stance ID) is a Legendary. But I'm curious to see what comes to play this time.

Halo 4 was the very first game, they have moved WAY ahead with the times. The booting system is fixed and more improved in Halo 5. Don't expect them to fix old games.... That's like Infinity Ward banning modders on Modern Warfare 2. It's not gonna happen.

Well everyone, Old vs New is scheduled to be happening in about 17 days now. As always, there's a struggle to choose which Halo game we should settle this competition on. The past 2 years have taken place on Halo: Reach, and Master Chief Collection. MCC being the better one with its map variety, but Reach being the better one for attendance. That said, this poll will go on until February 18th, so you guys have a little over a week to settle what game you think is best. Cheers!

Then go here.

The Xbox 360 remastering.

I have no idea why they didn't give us Elephants to begin with, but that's the only acceptable thing to have. Since it's a balanced vehicle, with good firepower and transport/spawn, but slow movement. Hawks... Oh god please no, that'd be worse than a Phaeton, which has lock on incineration missiles. But the Hawk has a Gauss turret attached to the bottom instead, that said. Hawks are a nice vehicle in the Halo Universe, but are best to stay in Halo Wars where they belong. Sorry. Pelicans and Phantoms... I honestly don't know how that'd work, unless the Pelican was used only for Transport, which is about as useless as the Scout Warthog then. Phantoms however, would make nice transports but only if they worked like the Halo Reach Pelican, where there was a driver, and a gunner and the gun had an incredibly slow rate of firepower, however the side turrets would need removed. That said, big vehicles would make nice cool editions. But most of them are big for a reason, and that's to destroy everything in its path. Except the Elephant. In other words, I'd rather not have these. However if you suggested vehicles like the Brute Chopper, Spectre, Brute Prowler, etc. That would be a totally different story.

Running it's not very difficult, of course anyone can replace him. But having someone running it other than Spyro himself, just wouldn't be the same. USF Elections are all fun and games, and sometimes get down to playing dirty, but it's just an honorary thing for every Spyro to do every 4 months, and replacing him would just be an insult. Since it's something popular on the forums that he started. I'd rather wait the 4 months than have someone else do it though. It's not big deal to me, that's plenty of time for our site to get active members to join and into the rally for next time.
