Gaming Under Fire

So there was this little known thing that took place on Sunday called "Microsoft E3 Briefing" and it may or may not have had something Halo in it! We'll talk about what we saw, what does it mean, the questions it poses, and a hope for a more positive future for the Halo Community. We also had the conclusion of the MCC Insider Flight #2 and I give some of my thoughts of my experiences. We had a lore filled Community Update and the HCS Settings for the season are set in stone!

Silly season has started and we take a look at all the latest team jumbling over the last two weeks. Matchmaking rules and maps are set for the next season and we take a look at the changes that have been made. We talk the changes to CSR/MMR and how those will start getting closer together. We say goodbye to two very popular 343 staffers, and I Run Riot on people who want to claim Halo to be "dead."

Plenty of things to discuss despite no Community Update. Something always seems to find a way to irk the community, and 343 has found a way to do it again! This time making changes to Chief's signature look. But we've also got HCS settings updates, difficulty finding Halo stuff, and people not understanding that Trueskill2 is working exactly as it should.

I'm joined this week by CMT member Masterz1337, DH Happy Hour streamer TheLosBurger, and Mixer streamer DaddyTrax to discuss the Eldewrito controversy with 343 and the recent Twitch bannings for those who streamed it. What is Halo Online? Is it shut down? Was it ever legal? Where does Halo go from here? We discuss all this and the upcoming Summer 2018 season updates. 

Videos that helped with the research for today's show:

We're a few days away from the 2018 Halo World Finals in Seattle. Let's take a look at the remaining two groups and make some predictions! Tom "Tsquard" Taylor stepping in it again. The Matchmaking Update shows that the competitive fans aren't the only ones keeping Halo alive. We take a look at the rotational playlists by hours played and find some rather surprising results on which lists are most popular (it's not H3 Classic BTW). I take a look at the latest rotational list, H2 BR, and tell you why I think it's the "Perfect" playlist.

We're 2 weeks out from the HCS World Finals in Seattle. This week we go over the first two of the four groups for finals. Unfortunately we got ghosted by Caster Butters, but I make some predictions on who places where in each group. A lot of Halo Wars 2 stuff from this past week, including the Yappening playlist from the weekend. We take a look at some of the insanity that resulted. The return of Oddball to the Team Arena Playlist, and one classic playlist is traded for another. All that and more on this weeks edition of The Bad At Halo Show!

The last stop on the road to the HCS World Finals 2018 was in Columbus this past weekend. 16 of the top teams in N/A were invited to compete for one of 9 qualifying spots. We'll run down all the action of the weekend. We also take a look at some of the community news including a new novel announced, fellow Halo Podcasters with a new show, a Halo 3 LAN in CAL, and a YouTube video to help you Halo Forgers!

The set is a happenin' here in New Phoenix. We're breaking in all the bells and whistles for the live stream, but we haven't forgotten the podcast crew! This week we take a look at the stream of the LATAM Regional Qualifier. A bit of a surprise in the eventual winners. Some production problems from the crew at Gamelta made it a bit of a difficult watch and we go thru some of those issues. The Let's Get Tactical loot crate is out in the wild, and I take a moment to rate each of the items we got for this edition. And last and most certainly not least, a return of The Running Riot segment on suggestions that the Halo franchise needs to be more to a specific popular streamers liking.
