Community Playdate Reminder [1PM PST/4PM EST]

Just a friendly reminder for those who are interested:

> On Tuesday, Dec 5, from 1-2 p.m. PT, we’ll be hopping into the Shotty Snipers playlist in Halo 5 for a Community Playdate. With winter fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to try and nab yourself a cool new skin to look hot for the holiday season. As always, anyone who matches up with our official squad of usually-343-emblemed Spartans during the appointed timeframe will earn the 343 Ice Unicorn weapon skin – win or lose.

Sod your skins fix the broken mess of a game it’s only been over two years , you’ve had plenty of opportunities , why anyone would want this is beyond me . The only time I matched some 343 employees they camped near teleporters with shotguns. Which shows what sort of game play is rewarded and how they don’t know what halo gameplay should play like & feel like .

Now that the playdate is over, was anyone luckier than I was and actually get to match them?

I didn’t get to play.

I didn’t either. Tried searching in both a squad and solo with no luck. I really think MMR has made the skin nearly impossible for higher level players to earn.

I’m pretty sure they said they search on expanded so if you also search on expanded you should theoretically be able to match up against them no matter what mwr or whether or not you’re in a squad. I can’t be certain how well that works though.

And here I thought it would be more difficult for low levels since there is always at least one or two high level players on 343’s team.

Yours truly was lucky enough to match them in a que with a friend. We played on Plaza. We were beat by 4 kills but the guys played pretty well. They held down the area looking into the cafe and Unyshek just kinda did his own thing the whole time picking people off. Regardless, I did get the skin.

Yep. I’ve tried to match them in every single playdate and have had no luck. It always seems like they match players that have low MMR.

Man, I always get my behind handed to me in Shotty Snipers.

But I have average MMR and I have also never matched them. Also this guy seems to have a pretty high MMR and he matched them. So I don’t think your MMR really matters as long as you’re searching on expanded like 343 is.
