@dav23cm@EliTheNinja Yeah, he was definitely up there as one of the best in h5! R2 technically placed pro for the first time in like 2010 or something though. So he has a handful of years of high level play before Frosty came in. Frosty is definitely high on the all time list though!
@dav23cm@EliTheNinja R2 was around earlier. He placed well and won during Reach, beating the God squad in 2012, which was a big accomplishment. Also, during the downtime between h5 and infinite he played in tournaments that frosty didn't. Not nearly as prestigious tournaments but they did win!
@Snip3down@ScottGandhi Yeah, I have already clarified, but this is what I meant... The context surrounding it, to do it at Worlds, the lack of any communication regarding the future of HCS or multiplayer at all, seems tone deaf if it comes with no other announcement.
@JacobRodri86129@ScottGandhi I understand that, of course. However, the context of doing this in front of this crowd and not mentioning anything regarding the future of multiplayer seems to be the entire wrong forum for it.
@Xbox Announced another remaster of a campaign only, at the biggest @HCS competitive esports event of the year. After 4 years, no mention of multi-player in front of a crowd that cares almost exclusively about the future of Halo esports. Genuinely, what was the thought process? @Halo
@UberNick Halo on PS is definitely good for the franchise and crazy! Not as crazy as talking about a campaign only remaster at the biggest HCS event, after 4 years and not mentioning multi-player, though!
@MintBlitz@Mr_Rebs_ The issue is the studio not communicating about it. Instead, at the biggest esports event HCS has, they reveal another remaster of HCE and say literally nothing about multiplayer. It's impressively tone deaf.
@Unyshek It's cool that future games will be on PS also. But how does it make sense to announce this at the biggest HCS tournament of the year; After 4 years, a campaign only remaster? I'm genuinely asking what the studio's mindset was. To anyone on the outside this seems very tone deaf.
@Tashi343i The best bet is that we do something with a Halo 5 style breakout gametype utilizing extraction as the obj. Or no shield regen unless you purchase it. Otherwise it's too hard to make a good play from behind at a high level of play. Current gametype doesn't work.
