    There have been a lot of stalling on these HCS events due to party issues, etc. I still haven't received any word back about the forge maps other than they will be making an appearance at some point in Season 2.

    Don't care, the mishandling so far is unacceptable. @CheChouMustGo!
    Seriously, this dude is a clown. If I had an employee that showcased such incompetence, you could bet your sweet ass he'd be gone yesterday.

    HCS Online Cup Update
    As we mentioned last week, the team has been working on a hotfix for party joinability, and this fix is now available via a content update to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Largely, this update will revert to the same party functionality that was available prior to our 4.21 update, and specifically addresses joinability issues that players with large friends lists have been experiencing.

    As of this time, this weekend’s ESL online cup #1 remains on schedule, and the HCS staff at 343 and ESL are currently working with teams and players to verify that the joinability issues have been resolved to ensure that things will run smoothly during the tournament.

    If you haven’t yet signed up for cup, head here to register, and to see the full season schedule, head here.

    Thanks for your patience and best of luck to all competitors.

    Franchise Media Director
    343 Industries

    Thats really great to hear and so honorable for :winterfox: Winterfox to split the prize pool since Denial got DDOS'd. You can't say they "only" won because of that though. Winterfox is the most aggressive team for online tournament play.

    They do, and the maps are still lacking differentiation. I haven't heard anything regarding forge maps for HCS Season 2 in over a month now...and I've been asking. Safe to say they're probably decommissioned. I'll keep an eye on the CC Skype chat I'm in but I just feel like I'm talking to myself sometimes...
    Absolutely zero communication right now

    I hope they will at least learn from this forge map implementation disaster, and be better prepared if they decide to use forge maps again in the future.

    Such a shame that they are not communicating anything at all anymore, I got one month left with access to a xbone as my brother is moving out then. So it would be nice to know if I need to make any adjustments before then or else I will need to have someone else to update the map if necessary. :/

    I'd like to see more communication and organization, a schedule of tentative proceedings. I guess I would need to be privy to those things. Just want to know what their plans are...

    In other news, we're going to have a 1v1 tournament in July. Should be fun.

    Doubt there's a plan. Che Chou is an incompetent moron. #CheChouMustGo

    I don't get why everyone is so hesitant to criticize this clown. He single handed botched season 2. Dude's a joke and needs the axe.

    It's pretty impressive to see Denial get 2nd using a sub.
    It'll be very interesting to see if CLG plays better with OG2 after using a sub for the last few Cups.
