I really like this emblem. I may likely wear it for awhile, though I’ll change the colors to reflect Master Chief.

Torque Map Update
Hot off the presses, this update was just posted about 18 minutes ago on Waypoint as of this writing.
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
The Multiplayer Team has just pushed out a robust update to Torque that should improve the overall quality of the map. The following changes will take effect immediately:
- Fixed the pistons in Red/Blue Yard to have the same height when down/up
- Updated the location names to help player orientation
- Replaced red exploding barrels with blue fusion coils on the Blue side of the map for player orientation
- Adjust cover pieces to open up longer sight lines across “Top Mid”
- Added Shotgun to “Top Mid” for Strongholds
- Adjusted spawn points to provide better spawning behavior
We’ll continue to make adjustments based on your feedback, as well as provide regular updates about what the team is working on.
HFFL: How are you folks liking Torque? I have to be honest, I’m not a fan of the gameplay on it. Yet.. It’s still very new. I just haven’t found a groove on it yet. I think it needs some spawn adjustment as well as weapons/power weapons adjustment.

BY B IS FOR BRAVO
Welcome back, readers. Another Friday has arrived, which means the weekend is here, and we’re one week away from the Halo World Championship, as well as one week closer to the Ghosts of Meridian and plenty more Halo 5 goodness.
Earlier this week, the services team released a series of updates aimed to help Arena players at high skill levels find matches faster, and also to ensure that Onyx players are seeing the appropriate amount of CSR movement after wins and losses. We’re hearing things are working well. Additionally, we’ve been keeping an eye on reports from players around the globe, and working with top players in international regions to determine further improvements that can be made to matchmaking. Keep the feedback coming. Continue reading
