Anything new on the trial period for warzone fireteams? Not to keep beating your ear about it, it's just I've made 100 posts in less than a week and we've heard nothing back at all... :(

Your cool tho stckrboy...

As the update hasn't long dropped, I think it will be a little bit before we hear anything back about it and any changes. Teams will be monitoring telemetry from the games and looking over feedback (yep, that large thread is being read). I don't think they're going to want to make any immediate changes until they get more data - purely speculation on my part, but I imagine that's what they're doing right now.

ps. thanks :)

The letter is going out in the next hour or so. Make sure to stay respectful on waypoint and keep hammering on the points in the letter. (can be found in the OP for this thread)

A twitter blitz to bring attention to the letter is phase 2.

Whoever did that is a good person. Hopefully he doesn't get any salty looks or worse.

Whatever the response, let's please be civil about the way we react to this as well. I know I was jokingly commenting about 343i (and Sean as well) but they are the creators of this content. If we have to swallow a bitter pill and wait it out more, let's not react harshly and see what comes of it... even if I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't change back to a fireteam limit of 12 in the long run.

Sigh.

Anyone want to put this on reddit? I'm willing to if no one else does - it will probably be downvoted to hell like I was any time I posted about bringing back 12 man fireteams, but who knows

Although it isn't gaining much traction, we have already posted this on reddit here:

This seems to be staying on the front page...
The comments from biggles defending our point of view are downvoted into oblivion and he gets gold for being an ignorant idiot. Just another day on reddit I guess.

I still don't understand how quick coring to move onto the next game is "insert word"... By his own words, if he doesn't win the game, it's a dick move.

As sarge pointed out Last night, this is actually great for us. My attempt at hopping in the soapbox got nowhere. This guys attempt to belittle us has made the front page and given us the soap box. It is especially nice that this guy is so hostile and uses circular logic because it allows me to stay on point and run circles around him.

I said it in the chat, and I'll say it again. That Reddit post and how you counter his comment in the most civil and articulated manner, that was amazing. Great job!

Glad to see it on the front page of /r/halo. Sad that the OP there is being so vindictive, but at least he looks like a jerk when doing so. Good on you guys HWM.

On another note, have you considered taking devastated off the letter?

The whole point of the letter was to show a unified front. Taking someone off the letter just because they have a bad rep would be counter-intuitive. The best would be to leave them on there, because if we do get 12v12, they won't be able to farm a organized team of 12. (Or it will be exponentially harder to do so).
