We were going for the 250kd challenge last night.

A made up challenge we made for ourselves. At least 250 kills over 25 matches. No more than 1 death.

This is the best i could manage:



One of my clan mates got a lot closer...



Quickplay is pretty great right now.

they're also adding control and clash to comp, which makes no loving sense, as well as the ability to easily earn a better version of redrix

i'm guessing the comp version of control/clash is 4's tho

still a really stupid way to artificially segment your player base however

it still breaks the spawn limited paradigm of comp/trials, tho, which is like the only reason the game mode is actually engaging.

Year 2 weapon slots will be live for all players, which may cause some weapons in players’ inventories to go to their Postmaster
All players should ensure their Postmasters are clear by August 28 to prevent loss of items



Pretty good piece of advice as I almost always have a postmaster full of blues.

I'm laughing so hard that anyone and everyone can get a Redrix' Broadsword which is the same thing but without the Lore tab.

I think 4s comp clash and control is good.

I liked everything in that TWAB.

loving lol about the Redrix though. Glad i didn't get it haha. That no radar bullshit was the loving worst. Good riddance

No it’s wasn’t, it was only reasonably gettable because a bug was exploitable and it was so powerful lots of players felt obligated to do that

In our game that features swords, let's name a bunch of guns after types of swords. Makes perfect sense!

I mean these are the same guys that, for no reason, decided to change Light Level to Power Level and Heavy Weapon to Power Weapon. What idiot would rename two different elements in their game the same word?

Its dumb to call it a broadsword because theres about 50 other names that mean a sword without calling it a sword.

Redrix's cutlass or saber or loving anything but eh.

Also I dont get the complaints? I didnt think theyd announed anything about it other than it exists and has the same perks?

Rest of the comp changes are cool and good. 4v4 clash and elim etc was pretty common for custom games funnily enough especially in tournaments.

Its why the idiots tried to make all pvp 4v4.

Also re redrix claymore its not that its hard to get for most decent players its that
A) its pretty trash in the current met
And
B) no radar is aids and no one wants to play comp.

No one especially wants to grind 50+ wins in a bad game mode for a weapon thats worse than the consensus top 2.

Even if Bungie had and delivered a clear answer, there's a high chance it doesn't even work the way they intended!

Rasheed was, with Aliases, the top 7 PvPers in Bone Krew.


No one talks about this.
Quick question guys:

quote:

Lastly, players should be aware that Valor ranks reset at the conclusion of Season 3. If players do not unlock their masterwork for achieving Legend in their Valor ranking by the end of Season 3, their Valor rank will reset and they will have to begin anew in Season 4.

1. So does that mean I have to roll my rank over in order to not have my poo poo reset?
2. What is the masterwork they're talking about? Is there some item you get?
3. How to check my valor rank and/or find out if I got the masterwork without turning this dumb game on?
