5:50 low key pro gamer move. Prioritized the farther enemy rounding the corner last knowing his teammate got the melee in the closer enemy. Use your full shields to clean up 2nd kill.
Cant wait for worlds😎 i got my Spartan decked out with all the Optic merch that has been available over the years. I'll be cheering for you guys on twitch🔥🔥🔥
@@gvdude yeah I do spend money on the HCS stuff because the money goes directly back to the respective team (that's what I was told at least). I want to support these teams for taking the time and money to be a part of Halo HCS💪
It’s hard to say tho because ssg also made a team change that made them exponentially better. I think they’re slightly better with deadZone but not enough that you’re gonna see a huge difference
@@solobusiness4320exactly. Nobody is picking deadzone over legend. Plus legends Playstyle is textbook ssg. The perfect 4th. Niggas act like apg was a god in the optic roster. They need a fast slayer like cykul or suppressed that can keep up
In btb almost no one goes for camo and I don’t get it. It’s so clutch for CTF. On fragmentation I can get all 3 caps in under 3 minutes abusing camo flag runs and razor back
I've had kids in ranked diamond lobbies tell me that camo is worthless. I am speechless, like how tf did you even get out of plat being that smooth brained?
@UCk94jQKDgOY8HYAF8WnadKwIt is not useless, while it is underpowered compared to the other halo games that doesn't make it useless, it's still pretty good you can still make a play or gain easy information with it, although it does need a buff, I'm onyx 1500-1550 and sometimes fall to D6 on a very bad streak and it's still good at this csr, a player shouldn't be allowed to be braindead and go up to the enemies face just because they have a power-up but using it properly will give an easy advantage, sometimes a free kill, sometimes easy entry to an enemy's setup, it depends on how it's used, Lucid just faced unfortunate timing and that's really it, maybe make the camo slightly harder to spot but it should still require skills to make a good play with it just like the OS in infinite, you shouldn't be allowed rush 2 or 3 players and still come out on top
Idk how you guys do it i practice as much as i can but i suck at these games i still play but only on social never competitive wich is something i always wanted to do
play ranked even if youre having a hard time, it's totally different from social, so social isn't going to help you improve very much. If you're worried about getting bad placement or stats, create an alt account to warmup or learn on so you won't fixate on stats as much. Also, download a few octagons for improving aim and strafe; the spartan level bot is okay for warming up, it just has simple movement. If you give the spartan bot a sniper, it's like an Onyx player on amphetamines. Ranked is also 10x easier with a squad
@@FBi_. Of course 🙂 If you're consuming content from pro players you probably already have a better understanding of the game than many plat players will, you just need the gunplay to back it up. Another tip is ignore the salty toxic players and use your ping function (don't spam it) if you're not giving verbal callouts
4:07 Lucid upset about trading, but that trade only happens w the (still boring asf) Bandit Rifle. The actual BR is only a 2-3 shot beatdown.. I can't even remember anymore bc 343/Microsoft ruined their own game by removing the BR.
Trading beatdowns has always been a part of Halo. DMR beatdown is a 3 hit. If he back-peddled he wouldn't have been in range there and his better aim would've won the fight. IMO the BR was too spammy in Infinite and made jiggle-peeking corners even easier
@ConfidentMelon Everyone can see the BR is the most popular Rifle by far in "social Playlist".. The devs can especially see this. Commando a distant 2nd place. Bandit Rifle always 3rd choice. We already had a Ranked BR ecosystem for 2+ years. Just a poor decision to erase it.. Player base took a big hit over the summer. I doubt it's a coincidence.
@@KaineTremaine I made no arguments regarding popularity or player preference, but I don't think using social playlist as a metric is sound logic (the most popular weapon in social is probably the AR). I almost never see anyone bother to pick up the BR or Commando off the wall in Ranked despite being easily available, which wouldn't make sense if it's so widely preferred. To me, the DMR is a refreshing change that has kept the game from getting stale, all I could ask for now is some new ranked maps. They should just add BR starts into the rotation along with DMR starts to compromise with the salty players
Love the content dude im getting better just from watching you.
props to lucid for not only doing customs. thanks bruh, were out here too.... glad ya see us
There have been like 2 or 3 videos where Lucid just haaaates on Stardonald and it’s hilarious

Hi, lunchtime buddy. Today is leftover steak and potatoes. Great double kill at 5:50! Keep it up, pal!!

You spent money on it ? 😮

@@chipsdubbo5.56Iugh ! So you are one of those …
that cut is fire. just in time for worlds!
You're making pros look like noobs in the first game. Good luck in worlds this weekend!
Good luck to you and the rest of the team for the weekend 👍
Ole Stardonald lmao
Optic haven’t been like they used to ever since they canned APG.
They lost in winners bracket grand finals with him too.

i think deadzone is a great player but so was APG tbh. maybe they just need more playtime with him? idk either way im still gonna be an optic fanboy
It's the apg voodoo curse
Damn ole girl got herself an over for her youtube highlights 7:15
lol you're right. Plus Lucid cried
Awkward to get teamed up with the guy you replaced, while playing against your teammate then lose
Fighting against pros like it's nothing 👿
One day Stardonald will improve with camo
Though you did say it could use a buff
In btb almost no one goes for camo and I don’t get it. It’s so clutch for CTF. On fragmentation I can get all 3 caps in under 3 minutes abusing camo flag runs and razor back
no one listened cuz you said btb. FACTS

@@mrsickwickthey likely aren't skilled enough to make a good play with it
Cu you play with bots and you are a bot
Why did they remove the BR??

Wth weapon are they using they shoot you 1 time and you already at half health? Are those noobs hacking?
Snipe
First actually
nope
Respects to stardonald. the GOAT

Might actually be first , thanks for the content
first lets goo
Why do pros still play this dead game? The prize pool for comps must be so low
yeah, 1 million dollars is nothing
