Played a few games of evolve, never a full match though which was disappointing. Monster always got smashed though as in early stages was found straight away. Haven't seen it get to stage 3 yet either

Yeah, the game seems to have some balance issues right now. The monster almost always loses in my experience. I've only been on one losing hunter team, and that team was terrible, splitting up instead of staying together then getting killed by the wildlife (not the monster) when there were no teammates close enough to revive them before they died. Teams I was on usually beat the monster in stage 1 or 2. Twice now the monster got to stage 3 and we still beat him. Both times I was the monster I lost, one of those times I got hit by crippling lag that caused me to lose when I was almost to stage 3, the other time I got found and trapped within 20 seconds of spawing into the game. They definitely need to spawn the monster on the other side of the map from the hunters instead of like 200 yards from them. They should also make it so that hunters can't see the monsters footprints for the first minute or so of the game, give monsters a chance to find a safe location to feed and get to stage 2 before the hunters can start easily tracking them.


I disagree with you shikamaru.i think they need to nurf the monster. I was the the monster 2 times and both times I wrecked the hunters. I think it's easy to hide from them. You have a button that senses all life net you. I just keep on the move, jumping, climbing and running u till I'm stage 3. In 1 game they all 4 came at me when I was stage 2 and I beat them up, I would have won in stage 2 but I couldn't find the last guy. Once I got to stage 3 it was so easy. The next game I played they never saw me till I was stage 3 and I wiped them out, and their healer was playing really smart that game. 

 When u get into a battle go after the healer, take him(or her) out first. The healer heals guys really quick, I got into a battle and didn't focus on him. He just stayed back healing all his teammates. If he is staying back run through his teammates. Take out the healer and you win basically. Secondly if u down a guy(and ur trying to wipe out the team) stay by his body so if his teammates try to revive him u can F them up. Also the dog can revive. If ur fighting the assault and his health bar goes white leave him alone, he is invincible. If ur in the dome and ur trying to get out, down the trapper the dome will go down.

anyway my gamer tag is M0STLY HARMLESS(with a zero). If u want to play. I also play halo a lot.

So I've played 3 games of evolve so far. 1 as human, can't really judge that part of the game because we won I 1 1/2 minutes. 2 as the monster. That was fun. Kinda seamed overpowered. Won both games, and my health never went below 4/5th. So far it's very fun. People actually using there microphones.

The biggest negative is the long loading times. Also I think the monster should be able to talk to the hunters, obviously not everyone would like that though.

Hoping it can get to 800k pre orders combined.

It's launching in a good week, all those bundles the week before will add a good chunk of people to buy Halo as well.

First week sales are usually somewhere between 1.2x and 2x preorders in my experience, so 800k preorders just for US and UK would be great, we'd be looking at somewhere between 960k-1.6m first week just from the US and UK, and probably 1.15m- 1.9m firstweek worldwide. I think Halo: MCC can pull off those kind of preorders, MS just needs to advertise Halo: MCC more, so far all of the Xbox One ads I've seen so far this week were either for AC Unity (with a bundle ad at the end), CoD: AW (with a bundle ad at the end), or The Crew (with the Xbox One boxart at the end). Hopefully after CoD: AW releases on Tuesday we'll start seeing alot more Halo: MCC ads, prefarably a shortned version of that amazing Blur H2A cutscene trailer.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 (especially) had some incredible advertising. Remember that believe advert? Given this is a remaster, why not reuse that? Utterly captivating.

My biggest problem is that in that one game I never even got a chance to run and evolve, the hunters were literally on me within 20 seconds of spawning into the match. First they trapped me in the dome, and then once the dome went away they drastically slowed me down with some kind of harpoon trap (haven't played as the trapper yet but I'm assuming that's one of her abilities) and the medics tranquilizer darts before I could escape. And then I was dead.  

Huh I haven't had that problem. Doesn't the monster start like 20 seconds before the hunters. And the monster moves faster, so I would think that u should be able to get away before they even spawn.. Ya the traper got me with a trap. U just got to hit it. I've only played 2 matches, I'll have a better oppinion on it after I've played 10 or so. The servers are having problems right now though :/

I have played twice on the human side and lost both times lol.



My copy of Sunset Overdrive came today, first time holding an Xbox One case. They're pretty nice.

Time to finish San Andreas and Alan Wake :P



For evolve alpha, game crashed like at least 5 times. Not sure if that was a problem with my xb1? Also, the matching making was just freaking slow. ManyChinese gamers couldn't even play one single match for hours. I tried to party and game with them for an hour but still no luck(party crashed, match making forever). Their server really sucked compared to Titanfall's.

The only strategy for monster seems to be evolving to Lv.3 before engaging any hunter. If you lose half of your HP before hitting LV.3, you dont stand a chance as long as the hunters stick together. I am a bit disappointed with this game. I just hope it wont become a bigger disappointment than Destiny.



Okay we need to talk about this.

Shika... Stop being a try hard for this month. Over 3000G :O

Damn dude :( I thought I had a decent month, only says I have 1715 as of now. Although right now cheevos are glitching in Sunset.. Ugh, annoying.
