#

so what do you guys think about Infinite having all these gamemodes for competitive?

#

-Slayer
-CTF
-KOTH/Stronholds
-Oddball
-Extraction
-A game mode where if all the enemy team dies the round is over and the opposite team gets a point until they reach 5 (essentially SnD from Cod but you can keep respawning until all of your team dies, not sure if it already exists.)

#

i forgot about Assault

#

HCS running all those gametypes could make a really interesting esports

craggy burrow
#

Extraction...I dunno.

#

Also I think the unnamed gamemode you mentioned is basically Extermination.

#

Theres variations of it based on Breakout

dry solar
#

Is the unnamed like the CS system?

#

Or can people still respawn

iron sierra
#

I wouldn’t particularly want more than 4 competitive game modes. Online matchmaking wouldn’t be a problem but LANS are normally always best of 3 then 5, rarely are there best of 7 series. In best of 3s you already have to switch obj modes based on rounds, it would be atrocious trying to switch game modes to include all of them sooner or later I would think.

spring hare
#

@craggy burrow yeah that's the one!! i forgot about the name

#

Maybe it's time we take out Slayer as a competitive gametype

iron sierra
#

Slayer is a stable in competitive halo, I don’t see it ever leaving. I wouldn’t ever want it to leave either.

When coming up with the competitive mode choices I’d assume something that is both fun and realistically always a “fair game mode“would be the best choice. So slayer is a staple. IMO (this is the most generalized way of saying it without overcomplicating my answer)

#

Also staple***^ in first sentence lmao

dense echo
#

Will HCS be coming to PC with the PC release of Halo MCC/Infinite?

dry solar
#

No

#

Maybe one or two tourneys

#

Otherwise mainly still Xbox

storm gulch
#

As it should be honestly

tiny sparrow
#

did they confirm that?

gaunt anvil
#

I only remember them saying that they'd explore HCS on PC. I never saw any details.

torpid beacon
#

^

#

nothing was ever confirmed, they only said they were considering the possibility

iron sierra
#

Regardless I’m sure their will be some individual tournament organizers running tournaments for PC demand. So you PC peeps don’t have anything to worry about

#

😉

torpid beacon
#

I think they’ll run dual leagues like siege originally did

#

They had an console league and a pc league

tame wave
#

My group is in the process of organizing a PC league for MCC, and I'm more than sure we aren't alone. So there will be plenty of opportunity to get involved in comp as stuff gets established on the platform

#

how to join the faceit halo3 tournament online qualifying?

arctic quiver
brazen citrus
#

so i need to buy the team pass to join qualifying?

iron sierra
#

No you don’t @brazen citrus you’ll have to go to faceit’s website and register for the online qualifiers there.

#

Winners of each qualifier get free entry to the event as well bud. GL

#

As for now it doesn’t look like they’ve announced dates for their qualifiers, they said on the 4th of this month they’d announce dates soon. The qualifiers can’t be far off. Just check back often since the tournament is mid August

brazen citrus
#

thanks bro, thats really useful

#

btw can players from other regions join the online qualifying?

iron sierra
#

It’s an open event so I would assume yes 👍

brazen citrus
#

oh ok, thanks!

brazen citrus
#

So its the original Halo3 on xbox360 or the Halo3 inside the masterchief collection on xbox one?

brazen citrus
#

So its the original Halo3 on xbox360 or the Halo3 inside the masterchief collection on xbox one?

iron sierra

Halo 3 on MCC

brazen citrus
#

so i cant join it if im playing on the original halo3?

Nope

#

You’ll need a Xbox one and mcc for the online qualifiers, you can still go and play at the lan though

#

@torpid beacon you'll only need a team if it's a team event, but even then there's some tournaments where they pick the teams randomly so you can register to play and get paired up. there are also free-for-all tournaments every now and then as well.

iron sierra
#

^^^ he’s right @torpid beacon start out by playing the competitive playlists and reaching out to other players like it seems like you are. Add me on Xbox: Faithful Shad0w (That’s a zero. <—) and my twitter is the same thing if you have one of those (@faithfulshad0w) hit me up and we can talk some 👍

They said they're looking at HCS stuff post-launch for MCC PC. But even then, I wouldn't say "move to PC." I'm fairly certain the console scene will stick around.

That's too bad. Would rather have that than 3 but I guess I'm in the minority.

#

I'm with you there

#

H3 is far less fun to watch and play

charred bobcat
#

Yeah I think the same way

#

I don't see the appeal of the shooting mechanics either

torpid beacon
#

Yeah

#

Plus slow and clunky movement mechanics and equipment

tiny sparrow
#

if there was one, they'd likely use the original Xbox like they do with CE.

torpid beacon
#

For sure

#

MCC is far from the original

#

As we all know

charred bobcat
#

How so?

torpid beacon
#

The Vista port of H2 was botched to hell and thats what MCC uses as a base

#

Some of the issues were fixed but a lot of them still persist

#

It would be a trip seeing 20-30 fps OG H2 on the mainstage in 2019 with the updated HCS UI and cameras/stage equipment

#

It'd be amazing

#

Part of me thinks that 343 would have done a small side H2 tourney if the MCC used the original game's code as a base

Hello everyone, I will be hosting a 1v1 tournament on October 5th at 6:00PM EST that has NO ENTRY FEE, this is a tournament I have had on lan for 3 years now called "Halo"ween, this year I am opening it to the online community.
As I said this will be a double elimination 1v1 tournament, all maps and gamemodes will be HCS with adjusted score limit, time limit, and respawn timer. All maps and gamemodes will be chosen using a randomizer, and each macthup will be a best of 3 except for finals which will be best of 5.
There is 500 DOLLARS in available prizing which vary depedning on your placing. If you wish to participate direct message me on discord and message me on Xbox at SkylerWD HCS. There are 32 available positions in the tournament if you'd like to participate, if you would like to help with the tournament such as streaming it and/or hosting contact me in the same way.
Thankyou for your time and I hope to see you in the rosters.

@modern fjord Wonder if he got the banned lifted, or the ban will be lifted once he turns 18 due to being a "legal adult" that can make his own decisions.
Kinda illegal I'm pretty sure to ban minors for life for doing something they didn't even realize was "breaking rules"

#

actually curious if he got un-banned at all considering he apparently competed in h3, and hr events.

It’s not illegal

hey can someone please explain to me how the Halo Reach spawn system works? It certainly doesn't feel like halo 5's :)

#

in DMs or somethin maybe?

olive flint
#

You can either spawn on an ally during invasion, or usually spawn in an area based system that’s contingent on enemy proximity. @grave folio

grave folio
#

@olive flint hmm. Interesting. I play only Hardcore atm. :) In hardcore will they only spawn on one side, then?

#

I heard a theory that they spawn usually opposite to where they die. Is there any truth in this?

olive flint
#

@grave folio Sometimes this happens but it’s not a guarantee if I remember correctly. It’s more relative to the areas in which your team is designated or if there’s no teams, whichever spawn has the least enemy players

grave folio
#

@olive flint hm alright. well thanks! much appreciated!

#

see you on the battlefield :P

olive flint
#

You got it dude

ripe lark
#

@grave folio For Hardcore slayer, maps where spawns can flip are zealot, battle canyon, and damnation

#

All other maps for slayer, you’ll spawn on your side of the map no matter what

Does anyone have a link to running tournaments and rules for running tournament as dictated by 343 studios?

#

Every game company has rules: PUBG Corps wouldn't let anyone run tournaments if they had cash prizes. Blizzard had a rule that if the cash prize surpassed 10k USD or the tournament was televised, then you had to purchase a license from them. I'm wondering if 343 has any similar intellectual property controls in place. I tried googling this and couldn't find anything relevant. If anybody has relevant info, please dm me.

@lapis karma we don't really apply rules to community-run tournaments like Blizzard or PUBG. rok198 is correct that you just need to abide by Microsoft's game content usage rules.

Same scene, different platform brought to you by aim assist.

Are HCS events going to be split between PC and Xbox events and leagues now?

they're probably going to do pc to give players choice on peripherals

#

Oh ok thank you

torpid beacon
#

Not a problem

outer harbor
#

It'd be interesting to see. With them looking into it, It'd be really cool, but also a little worrying to have the competitive scene be split by the platforms.

#

If any series could pull it off, I'd say Halo could though.

torpid beacon
#

is there a pic of the whole battlepass yet

urban cliff
#

if they are gonna do a pro scene with pc (as they should), they gotta get rid of controller aim assist on pc

#

its like cheating for a test you are not prepared for

gaunt anvil
#

Is it really. If I remember correctly, this is how they've administered the test 9 years ago

glad sinew
#

or just dont allow controller for the PC side of the pro scene

urban cliff
#

if you are gonna keep it even you cant let controller users have extra help from the computer. Choose your platform and stick with it. Aim assist will never work when pc and controller play together

glad sinew
#

just be good

gaunt anvil
#

You could say the same to mouse and keyboard players who, as I've heard many times, are "objectively better" than controller players

summer geyser
#

The aim assist on controller is shocking tho...

#

I'm more comfortable with KB&M, but I was getting better results with controller.

#

Especially in hardcore.

#

Going in with KB is like committing suicide.

zinc notch
#

Kb with snipes is brainless tho both have advantages and disadvantages

gaunt anvil
#

But that aim assist is the aim assist that has existed in OG Reach. Changing it is kind of fundamentally changing how the game is played for controller players, which is not the intention for moving games into MCC

#

If 343 finds that input method affects who wins, they can implement something in HCS to account for that, like input separated tournaments

#

But removing aim assist from PC is the more harmful way to go

pine gazelle
#

High level controller players will do better on Halo than M&K. Halo and CS pros setup tourneys on the "game" that shall not be mentioned, and 90% of the people who participated used controllers. There is no question that a controller will do better than a M&K, in the mechanics of the Halo 3 "like" game, the BR with its 3 round burst only showed it more clearly. That is a result of aim tracking, when comparing mouse to controller, the quickness of the burst and having a controller grab onto your opponent made it 10x easier to 4-shot someone. If your tracking isn't perfect--you will get out BR'd every time, simply because one of the bullets in the BR's burst doesn't connect on target. I know mouse has an advantage with snipes clearly but, the majority of fights will be with a DMR/BR and there may only be one to two snipes on the map at any given time. My comparison with the Halo 3 like game is only being highlighted because some of it still applies to Reach as well. Strafing is a very important aspect at high level play and the amount to which a controller grabs onto a target in this game is absurd. Twitchy strafing combined with good movement make it much harder to hit all shots on PC when compared to controller.

zinc notch
#

With a br I can see an issue but honestly in dmr fights id say its fairly equal not to mention you can move with a lot more precision on kb allowing for better strafes and jump shots

pine gazelle
#

no, movement on keyboard is binary, while using a controller you have the ability to strafe at different speeds. once again its not a matter of "precision" but with the ludicrous amount of aim assist.

ripe lark
#

It’s the reason you can’t crouch while moving on keyboard, since you can only move at full speed. While controllers have more control over movement speed allowing people to crouch strafe.

outer harbor
#

I seem to be okay with M&K, but when I switch over to the Xbox and playon controller I can feel the difference and it takes a few games to adjust from the aim assist to having to be 100% accurate no lie.

pure compass
#

hello fello gamers

storm yacht
#

hmm

torpid beacon
#

@ripe lark FYI you can’t crouch on either inputs until you stop moving

#

Controller doesn’t have the advantage you speak of

ripe lark
#

Maybe that is the case, but then why is crouch strafing possible on controller and impossible on keyboard?

#

I also stated the that you can’t crouch while moving at FULL speed on both controller or keyboard

torpid beacon
#

You can’t crouch on controller until you’ve completely stopped moving

#

It’s not possible

#

I don’t know who told you it is, but it’s not.

#

You have to slow down to a complete stop

ripe lark
#

Really, I have been able to do it since 2010

torpid beacon
#

Please provide a video of your crouch strafing on controller

#

I’d love to report it to the proper people

ripe lark
#

Maybe it’s because my crouch button is L3

#

I repeat

ripe lark
#

Hey man I’ve been just telling you my experiences with it throughout the years

#

Maybe I do come to a complete stop every time I crouch strafe

you can crouch on a controller in Reach, but you have to move really slow to do it.

#

These mods are rude oof

magic coral
#

with crouch strafing do you mean getting into crouch first then moving?

#

I think people are confused by what's being described so let;s just describe what they mean

torpid beacon
#

you should be able to crouch mid movement

#

but you can't

#

and its stupid

#

you should also be able to change your reticle

#

im pro so i need just a dotr

#

the surrounding information is a distraction

outer harbor
#

Yeah controller you can but only at like the slightest movement speed, essentially you stop crouch and then strafe

keen oak
#

@torpid beacon you can crouch on controller you just have to be slower instead of full on running

boreal ibex
#

why doesnt vetoed just state plain out that crouch strafing on mouse/kb is completely broken because you have to not be moving at all.
