How important is communication during matchmaking? How important is EFFECTIVELY communicating? What are the differences and how can they be applied to everyday life as well as gameplay? Share your thoughts and remember, “a wise man once said ‘a game of slayer starts at the 30 kill mark’”!!

I would say in MLG/Esports, effectively communicating is almost more important than being good at the game. Half the time whenever I watch tournaments I can’t figure out what these guys are trying to say to each other because they’re constantly talking.
In matchmaking? Especially if you’re solo queuing, I’d say being smart is more important than communicating effectively, especially nowadays where basically nobody uses game chat. Play for the power weapons, watch for when they spawn, try not to get split up from teammates, and know where the possible spawn points of your enemies are.

Map knowledge, knowing spawn cycles and knowing when to take fights and when not to is more important in social/warzone. Call outs is probably more important in ranked simply because of the need to win which requires coordination. But then again, map awareness and being smart is also key.
Yeah solo que i’d say the above posters are on the right track, as there is a chance that your other teammates don’t know call outs, have their volume low, don’t speak English, or just don’t care.
When I used to really sweat and always call out(back in 2016ish) there would be games where either my team would listen or someone would put their mic in and call out as well. Back then though there were a lot more players, and probably more people in my region playing who were likely to listen or have a mic.
Last thing I’ll say is if you’re trying to be the best Halo player you can be you’re going to want to learn all the call outs and get used to playing while Calling out naturally as it is a skill in itself.
I agree with the replies thus far. When my old team and I played we had tags to practice on and tags we would go into ranked with, usually Slayer, Snipes and Doubles. We would all have fun and encourage other players, the randies paired with us and the opposing team, to continue practicing and even invite them to scrim in custom. As players we all should encourage others involved, regardless of skill level, to continue forward. In doing so more people may become interested in coming back to and/or staying longer on what I consider to be the greatest shooter known to humankind. Not only will this perhaps improve the community but will possibly more so develop stronger skill sets, leadership qualities and camaraderie amongst us all. Stay positive and pay it forward, even in the face of defeat. I have unfortunately been absent from the Halo scene since 2011 and I eagerly await the day on which I can pick up the controller, log in and hopefully see if my BR and DMR skills are still up to par, maybe even with some of you here. I would be nearly devastated to see the Halo franchise a “Ghost Town”. Thank you for your input gentlemen/ladies.

This entire thread made me happy. Glad to see you back in Halo OP, I find that I strangely do better after long breaks

As do I. Tendency to concentrate on the basics, the fundamentals in gameplay as well as in sports seems to be more instinctual than the “flashy” approach after a hiatus for myself. One question, off subject, does Bungle.net still allow viewing of H3 file share film clips? I tried to view some of a couple of my old tags film and got the notification that it was undergoing maintenance.

No, I’m pretty sure they have all been taken down.
You have to access the original game either through Backwards Compatibility or the 360 to view them. You can record them on the Xbox One if you want to save them somewhere where they won’t be taken down at some point soon.

At a Pro level it is important, in regular casual or even ranked with friends playing together I would say its more about having fun and taking the laughs in.
In everyday, casual play, communication in online gaming is practically nonexistent lol.
