I’ll start off by saying I was one of the many people on here consistently asking for the removal of those 2 things. I still think sprint is not necesary. I still do not completly like SAs. But let’s just stop asking for their removal now. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN OUT. The SAs are too big of a part of the game that they CANNOT be taken out. All of the maps are designed around them and I am sure the campaign is as well. So just stop.
Instead let’s focus on legitimate things that can be fixed without tottally overhauling the game such as the Compeititve Ranking System. The most complained about thing of the beta is easily the CSR system and its horrible rankings. Me personally I win the vast majority of my games, I have a near 3.0k/d, and my KDA hovers around 11.0 yet I am Silver/Bronze. I play against players every game in Gold or higher with Sub 1.0k/d HORRIBLE W/L and negative KDA. Obviously the CSR system is broken and needs to be changed. Then there is the fact that the CSR system is very lacking. You have people reaching max rank after 10 games IN THE BETA. I mean now what are they supposed to do? The game isn’t even out yet and they already have nothing else to strive for lol.
In my mind the fix is simple. BRING BACK THE 1-50!!! The 1-50 was a beloved system that was liked by most and hated by very very few. It worked like a charm by:
- Matching people with their equals
- Adding an EPIC amount of replayability
I can already see with this current CSR it will be just like Halo 4 and many will get bored after a month and quit due to lack of “IT”. I just think 343 picked the wrong thing to change. The 1-50 worked and was unique to Halo it essentially helped make Halo, Halo so why not put it back in?
