Best game I had today I went 16-4 with 6 assists in a Team Slayer. Can't remember the map now(damn it).

 

We opened up a can of the ass whip hahaha(thank you Santino for parodying Austin)

 

I think the final was 50-19 or something like that, we held down one spot and they kept coming to us getting wrecked.

 

If I remember correctly I had two nade kills, 7 kills with a weapon and 7 melees. I played with randoms, no mics.

I was addicted to Invasion on Reach.

[God]

My last game, I had 34 vehicular kills, 7 splatters, 4 snipes, a stick, and 11 BR kills. 57 kills, more than double my team's score. I may have taken the wraith and spawn camped with it on Ragnorak. 3 deaths (one a betrayal).

 

My K/D ratio is like 3.4.

They need to make a BTB playlist dedicated to H2C+A.  Halo 2 has unrivalled BTB maps (terminal, headlong, relic, burial mounds, water works, etc) 

 

Objective (CTF and Assault specifically) are my favourite thing along with BTB slayer.

 

I do enjoy team slayer (4v4) as well. 

[RZIBARA]

Also, incase anyone missed it, Doubles is now here (finally), featuring H2C, H2A, H3 and *shudders* H4

[God]

snipers are always good too. I always get at least 15 kills each match.

For anyone interested, Halo: Spartan Strike has been released (finally!)

[Jehuty]

Is Halo Spartan Strike any good?

If it's anything like Spartan Assault, I'd say it isnt worth your time

[God]

I have it (It's almost exactly the same as Spartan Assault, gameplay wise (which is fine for me, since I liked Spartan Assault).

[Jehuty]

I never played Spartan assault so I really cannot say anything.

SA isn't bad. It's a pretty simplistic top down shooter optimized for a touchscreen. I have a tablet that I play it on, so I'm golden. The story is alright: It's mostly a Sarah Palmer wankfest of a game, but it does have some cool elements of bringing back parts of the canon that haven't been explored for a while. 

 

Spartan Strike, thus far, is really no different from SA. A few new gadgets, weapons, and vehicles, and that's it. If you're fine with it, it's interesting.

Really MORE Sarah Palmer? I wish Sgt Johnson had this much character shilling. At least he had an entertaining personality.

Sarah Palmer isn't in Spartan Strike.

 

I'm actually glad she's getting her comeuppance finally. Read Escalation #16. Doctor Halsey doesn't just kick her down a few pegs, she downright pushes her off the ladder. And she pays for it. Last you see of her in that issue, she's in tears, about to be chewed out by high level ONI operatives for epically failing her mission. It's going to be glorious. And it might actually pave the way for her to be a better Soldier and Spartan.

[SmilesJA]

Good, I want to see more of that. Much more.

She makes the Spartan IVs look bad. 

 

They can out perform the S-IIs yet 343 makes them look like morons... which most of them are. Thorne is okay. Have some Spartan IVs who know how to do the job right and perhaps people will start liking them. Otherwise, Spartan II master race. 

 

I am ready to bathe in Palmer's tears. 

[SmilesJA]

SPARTAN 4's suck compared to SPARTAN 2-3 honestly.

They have better augmentations and armor but what will always cause them to get destroyed in a fight is their lack of discipline and training and experienced compared to the Spartan II class.

She does make the S-IV's look bad. Palmer, Majestic, and many others that we've been shown are why the S-IV's are not on the same level of II's and III's.

 

They actually can't outperform S-II's or S-III's. They have the advantage of 2nd Generation MJOLNIR armor, which puts them on par with an S-II or S-III in GEN 1 armor (and I think Gen 2 is advanced enough that it does outperform Gen 1 entirely). That said, S-IV's are inferior in every other aspect to a III and especially a II.

 

You are correct though; S-II's are, quite literally, as far as humanity is concerned, the master race. 

 

For me, the only S-IV's that look good are Crimson team. There are a few other decent ones. Buck and Romeo, Shadow team, and Thorne has promise to be decent Spartan. He'll never be on the level of a II or a III, but as far as a IV can go, he does alright.

 

My view on Crimson is that they're (or he, since I usually go solo) former S-III's from Gamma Company that were removed from the rest of Gamma Company for being deemed too valuable to waste on suicide missions. Had the war been extended, and had they (Noble Team) lived, they'd have been members of NOBLE team. 

 

And as all surviving S-III's were offered integration into the S-IV program, that's where I get the conclusion that they're S-III's. They're simply far and away superior to any other non-II or III Spartan.

They have better armor, but they don't have better augmentations, per se. 

 

When the series refers to the better augmentations, it's referring to the practices put in place over the old. As in, adult humans can be safely and routinely augmented in 2558, compared to the incredibly high risk procedures that were available in 2525 that took out over half of the S-II's during the augmentation process.

 

That said, the II's that were successfully augmented are far and away faster, stronger, smarter, and more powerful than any III or IV could ever be. Although, it is stated that the III's were trained even better than the II's in some ways, they weren't built for survivability. 

 

As Buck puts it in the First Blood novella, the "II's are the Titan gods of old, the III's are the Olympian gods, and the IV's are demi-gods".

 

S-II's are humanities shield, while S-III's are humanities sword.

[Jehuty]

The S-IVs are mass produced Spartans. They have better augmentations since they're more advanced and comparing stats they seem on par if not better.

http://halo.wikia.co...tion_procedures

It's Wikia though so it may not be entirely right. 

 

But like said, it doesn't matter how much fancy tech they have. The reason Spartan IIs will dominate S-IVs is because the former had extreme care taken during their training to ensure that they're effective and the latter is rushed. The Spartan IIs were bred for war and war only, nothing else. A Spartan IV will take shore leave, a S-II will not. Spartan IVs are not war machines like the Spartan IIs are and like mentioned, Palmer makes them look bad. 

 

Crimson is a Spartan IV team without a doubt. I doubt they're Spartan IIIs but you never know. But again they're player controlled, so their skill reflects the players controlling them. 

 

I don't like Locke but hopefully he brings the full potential of the Spartan IV out. I hope the ONI Spartans do better since their brothers and sisters cannot.

Got that right. Halopedia is a lot better, and Catalog (a Forerunner information/judicial program, aka members of 343 community answering questions in an in-universe avatar) on the Waypoint forums specifically pointed out that the IV's augmentations are less substantial and powerful than the II's or III's. Buck confirms this in Halo: First Blood. The primary difference is that (in the case of the S-II's) you're taking the 14 year old teenagers who are genetically the absolute best of the best of humanity (as close to perfect specimens as is physically possible), training them from age 6 to be Top-tier special forces operators, training them to the point where they have the bodies of 18 year old olympic triathletes, and then augmenting the absolute pinnacle of human capability even farther. The III's are the same, sans the genetic perfection (though a few members are acknowledge to meet the S-II standard, such as all the members of NOBLE Team), and the augmentations are slightly less substantial (for one, they don't have the thyroid enhancement that boosts their growth far past the point that is humanly possible),

 

The IV's have none of that.

 

When you hear that the augmentations are 'better' it doesn't mean that the IV's are stronger or have better augmentations: Catalog clarified this, as did Buck in First Blood. 'Better' means that the procedures for the augmentations themselves are more advanced than what they once were.

 

Think of treating a disease. The procedure for, say, heart surgery is better now than it was 40 years ago when the first open heart surgery was performed. The IV's don't have better augmentations, but the procedures used to augment them were more advanced and better than the procedure used on the II's.

 

Crimson is indeed a team of "Spartan IV's": And since we know that all surviving Spartan III's were offered integration into the IV program, in essence, those that did join became 'Spartan IV's'.

 

So Crimson team for me are former Spartan III's who transitioned into Spartan IV's.

 

They're just made up of Spartan IV's who were once members of the Spartan III program. Specifically, they're Spartan III's from Gamma Company who were singled out for their superior skill and potential compared to their brethren. Had Noble Team not been wiped out, and had the HCW continued on, the members of Crimson team (at least, my Spartan) would have been selected for Noble. My Spartan IV of Crimson Team is, for me, a former Spartan III of Gamma Company who was rated on the same level as a Spartan II.

 

 I refuse to let any Spartan I control be of an inferior quality.

I was addicted to Invasion on Reach.

I wasn't too much of a fan of reach But man I loved invasion. If it can with more maps, I could of definitely just lived off just that game mode.

I have Spartan Assult on xbox one but I still haven't touched it.
