Link: Holiday Fixins

Get it while it’s hot! Of particular note:

Livestream

> This Thursday, Dec. 14 at 3PM PT, we’ll be hitting the airwaves with a small celebratory Livestream to recap another crazy year in Halo. We’ll be giving a bit of year-in-review, talking about some of our favorite things, dangerously skirting professional protocols, and overall having a great time chatting Halo with you fine folks. Join us at Halo is on Facebook Gaming for both the broadcast and a fun Community Playdate immediately after. See you then!

Updates

> The team will of course continue to monitor the game closely, and there are still a few player-reported issues being investigated for potential future updates. Please keep us posted on your Halo 5 experience this holiday season, and we’d love to hear if you experience any of the issues noted above following the installation of the patch.
>
> With regards to weapon tuning, the Sandbox team is going to regroup and evaluate the latest game data after the holidays to see how the weapon tuning adjustments are working out, and if further iteration might be needed. Please keep sharing your feedback with us here on Waypont, particularly around this latest version of the Battle Rifle.

Oddball

> Before we close out, one note: don’t forget that beginning Thursday morning, Oddball will be added into the HaloWC Preview playlist in Halo 5. Make sure you jump in and try it out!

Edit:

In case you missed it: Halo Holiday Livestream

Looking forward to the livestream! :grinning:

I think the BR is a 100% improvement. Fun to shoot again!

Not sure why this isn’t included in the Community Update, but there’s an HCS announcement today at 11AM PST (2PM EST) and further discussion on the livestream:

> A new chapter begins in 2018. Learn more tomorrow at 11AM PST. #HaloWC #HCS @HCS

> The news drop won’t be on a livestream but there will be a video portion to the announce. Main info will be via Waypoint articles. We have an end-of-year Halo Livestream tomorrow and I’ll be jumping on with ske7ch to recap the news and take some questions in the Mixer chat. Should be fun! @Tashi

I assume the playlist for the community playdate is Shotty Snipers again since it doesn’t look like they mentioned that part.

Just a friendly reminder that the livestream starts in roughly 30 minutes (3PM Pacific, 6PM Eastern).

I assume the Community Playdate that follows will be Castle Wars.

Damn! I totally misses this!! I’ll watch it later, but it sucks I didn’t get to plan for it. Gotta pay better attention.

I assisted GrimBrother One and he was totally unappreciative.

This playdate was the closest I’ve ever gotten to matching 343 themselves. My search times were in sync with them, but then they called it for the night…

:sob:

Yeah I knew I missed a big opportunity here. Not only that, but watching and listening to them talk about the last year. :disappointed:

They said the playdate was at 3pm, but didn’t start until 4pm. Unfortunately I played from 3-4 specifically for the playdate.

Meaning the stream starts at 3 and the playdate is the last event of the stream.

Yeah looks like I misread it. Oh well, I’ll get 'em next time.
