    • Great vid analysis CHa0s. Very cool to be able to watch all 4 perspectives at once. If you or another team needs another player who wants to learn strats let me know.

  • Oh! I thought I had posted this in here already. I wrote a (very lengthy) article on team strategies for Halo 5 Strongholds. I will be reading it over a video soon, but until then, here are them words:

    Does your team have the same goals when it comes to team strategy? For example, what do teammates […]

    • What set-ups do you think are best based upon Map? Here is what I’ve currently been told:

      Overgrowth: Tram & Pit (thanks to your recent vid!)
      Plaza: Nest & Bottom Mid
      The Rig: Nest & Basement
      Regret: Top Mid & whatever (donut map…but control center and one base)

    • There’s Strongholds on Regret? I don’t think I ever get it. Plaza depends on the group you’re with. Personally, I prefer holding the Plaza Stronghold, because it’s pretty easy for even just one person to do it, but Rowboat and others swear by Nest and Basement.

      I think the most important thing on many maps is that the whole team is fighting for the same Strongholds, and that they are fighting to keep the ones they have. Too often I see slayers running off to kill, leaving their team vulnerable at a Stronghold. Or in 4v4 when two are guarding one Stronghold and the other two are throwing themselves at two different ones. Many times gamers just don’t pay attenion to what is really going on, and change their behavior to best assist their team, idk.

      But I definitely agree with Nest and Basement on The Rig. For anyone who doesn’t know (or hasn’t heard me lament spawning at BR base), you can cover both Basement and Nest from several different vantage points, and your team can set up and team shoot anyone who comes into that entire area. It’s hands down the way to win on that map. The alternative is like I describe in the article, which is to be spawn trapped on that side of the map. But it takes the whole team on board: If you have someone running off into BR area where you’ve spawn-trapped them, that teammate can force them to spawn by your Strongholds. Not only is that teammate force-spawning enemies by your Strongholds, they’re not there to help defend them when the enemy comes to take it.

      I’ve recorded myself reading this article, and it should be on a video soon!

    • I hate the map they were showing us! They brought up some valuable points that I’m gonna have to try out!

    • This is one of my all-time favorite maps. I’m really glad to see that the new abilities haven’t broken it. I’m actually enjoying it even more with the boost and clamber abilities.

  • I’ve played a teeny bit of campaign and multiplayer. Always takes awhile for me to get into a new game, because I get frustrated by all the new controls, etc. but just like the beta, so far, so good. Haven’t played any Warzone yet, but I’m sure it will become a fav. SO looking forward to gaming with all yous fine peeps, it’s been too long!
