Gaming Under Fire

We're back for the first podcast of 2018! We catch up on all the HCS announcements regarding MLG, the Halo WC LAN's and how you and your team can start getting valuable championship points. We talk Oddball, and how the competitive community need to stop complaining and start playing.

The Month of ODST kicks off on this weeks episode with the return of Halo Show and Tell with 2 items from my vast Halo collection related to ODST!

It was yet another slow news week in the Halo World. So I had to to search hard and search deep for a topic to talk about. Logging in to try to get some inspiration for my podcasters-block, I came across Mything Warzone Firefight and asked...is it worth it? Let's take a look and see if the pay out is worth the Mythic effort it takes to claim victory in the hardest of the PvE modes of Halo 5. We also do some Community Update catch up, talk The Game Awards, and more Halo links with other Microsoft games.

The "What Needs to be done to Fix Halo" themes have reared their head again. Greenskull with the help of some pro players talk what needs to be done to fix competitive Halo. Tsquared fires off a tweet bashing casual Halo fans. And Fletch from Ultimate Halo responds with why "fixing Halo" isn't so easy. We also introduce a brand new segment to the podcast, Halo Show and Tell!

Here to rescue us from a no Halo news week is our beloved Dreamhack Denver House Mom Rebecca "Bonks" Rothschild. We discuss the likes and differences between the real Marines and those portrayed in the Halo Games. We talk a little bit about Dreamhack and Bonk's geek out moment with some bald dude from 343. We take a look at games in general and the direction that Microtransactions are going and ask "is the day of the buy your game once over?" And technical gremilins make their appearance again as well!

We've got a shocking roster change in the HCS. An organization that looks to be going nowhere. An announcment that there will be an announcement later for Halo Worlds 2018. The Community Update including a look at why Oddball took the HCS playlist. And a discussion on MTX's and why they aren't necessarily the devil others want you to believe them to be.

An unfortunately slow news week this week. So I figured I'd clairify some thoughts I had last week on the Xbox One X, including that I'm not recommending or discouraging you to buy it. A brush thru this past weeks community update. Some thoughts on the OddballWC Ranked Playlist. Microsofts Give Campaign and a Halo Legend represents us well! My thoughts on merging the Team Arena and HCS playlists (*hint, I'm not a fan).

We got ourselves a whole heap of Halo goodness in last weeks Overtime update. From new skins, to return of old favorites, to LAN capabilities, we cover it all this week. We'll also take a look at nothing announced for World's 2018 and some of the roster mania moves that have already taken place. Including one org removing themselves from the Halo competitive scene entirely.

After the fastest 10 days in the history of the world, I'm able to get back behind the mic. No show prep, wasn't sure a show was going to be out, and yet I'm able to babble on for about an hour. This week I recount my Dreamhack Denver experience with the guys from Drunken Halo and Rebecca Rothschild from Sugar Gamers. Talk stream controversy, whats next, and even a short review of the Livestream and Community Updates. We'll be back on track for next week and hopefully a bit of a surprise for those of you who tune in Live on Mixer, Twitch, and YouTube!
