The br is boring and takes less skill so

I don’t like BR starts. Never have. Halo is the only game I’ve ever played where ranked rules are different from every other mode and they suck. Screw 343 for having ranked challenges this week. I don’t care about ranked or esports.
The br is less skillful for what you just said tho. The AR is just a BR that’s forces to burst fire. It’s still a lot of bullets coming out
One bullet - one trigger pull
3 bullets - one trigger pull
One takes one skill than the other because of how many bullets are coming out of the chamber.
Someone turning the corner can be killed easier with the br because 3 bullets out of one Burst have a chance to hit the person who’s one shot. Where as the Halo 5 Magnum you had to plan every trigger pull. You couldn’t just spam it
This game definitely needs a ranked Team Slayer playlist. Pretty much the team slayer playlist they have right now they just need to make it ranked, but add friendly fire.
The current ranked playlist is MLG/HCS settings, which is fine, but as I’ve said from day one, if you make all ranked playlists HCS settings, people won’t be happy. There are a lot of people who like ranked but not HCS settings (mainly no radar they don’t like)
Personally, I just want a Team Slayer playlist like they have now, but make it ranked, friendly fire on and by the gods, can we put player collision back on please!!! I can’t stand this, walking threw my teammates/enemies. Beyond annoying!!
I just don’t see why they can’t do what so many Halo games have done before. You have your social playlists, ranked playlists (same as social but with friendly fire on) and MLG/HCS playlist(s) with whatever settings they want. Literally everybody wins.
Oh and they should DEFINITELY get ride of challenges associated with Ranked play. I’m tired of having people on my team that clearly don’t play ranked and are just doing it for a challenge. Also, Get rid of the game type only challenges as well. I thought we figured this out already. Beyond annoying.
Yes, you are the only one. BR starts should be in all playlists.
No way . Why would you advcsote for an easy to use beam like weapon in all playlists. It doesn’t even belong in ranked
lol whatever i am sure the magnum of halo 5 will never get back… honestly you are free to think what you want , but its clear to me they choose to make halo infinite differente from halo 5… and one of the principal point of halo 5 is magnum being op.
One bullet -one trigger pull
3 bullets - one trigger pull
If someone is abosulte which one do you have more of a chance to hit your shot? If your answer is the BR then you’d be correct. The BR by nature takes less skill to use. This is an irrefutable fact.
It doesn’t matter what you think about Halo 5. The magnum itself is what took skill. We already tried br starts with all 3 BRs in halo 5 and every single time people preferred the magnum.
You say it’s OP but you don’t even realize that the BR is doing the same thing in arena. It’s your utility weapon. It’s SUPPOSE to be useful.
No pretending here. You and i will just disagree then. I have laid out how a good ar user is skillful vs a low level ar user. A big issue I have with ranked is that it only caters to one play style. How does anyone say they are a high level player when they only demonstrate their ability in one play style. If you add ar to ranked with br, you get a better picture of who the best players are.
Your friend remembers wrong.
While ranked on Halo 3 did have radar, it also had forced BR starts (granted with an AR in your backpack) in all team based modes. Lone Wolves was the only playlist in ranked that had AR starts as an option, but after veto it would always be a BR starts mode, regardless of what the first game that came up was.
Ranked (called Arena) in Reach was always DMR starts.
Halo 4 didn’t have a ranked mode.
Halo 5 was always Magnum starts, but the Magnum was essentially a BR in that game.
Pro settings in Halo CE were always AR/Pistol starts with no radar, and everyone just used the pistol. And those settings were a built in preset.
Competitive Halo has literally always spawned players with a dominant precision weapon, because it prevents snowballing. Where one team wins the initial powerf item push and then just camps out long range engagements for the rest of the match. Even in current unranked modes, often the team that bothers to control the long range weapons is the one that wins the game.

i refused to play h5 just because of no BR Ranked.
im only playing Halo Titles with BR starts.
Reach traumatized me.
Veto for BRs.
GG.
Comepletly agree, i have always hated the precision weapon spawn meta because it makes for very basic gameplay and all the people saying it shows so much skill to use a BR/DMR/Magnum are just lying to themselves. It is so dang easy to use a BR, its point shoot kill with minor dodging required.
AR starts on the other hand make you think about positioning more, does the person close to me have a close range weapon that can outkill me even if i get first shot, don’t get too far away or my shots won’t be worth much but don’t get too close or ill get melee’d. It is the perfect further end of short range to the bottom end of medium range weapon that definitely takes more thought to use than a BR.
The BR has no bloom, near hitscan bullets, perfect accuracy, a large mag (can kill more spartans per mag than an AR), near infinite range, a scope, no recoil, and as a spawn weapon it will basically have infinite ammo. I’ve said that the BR is too good for a long time and people always say without fail “Well its just that other weapons aren’t worth picking up” or they lie and say “other weapons are good and get used so much” which if you have ever watched pro players or even played ranked yourself you know the latter is a blatant lie. As for the former, it is basically impossible to make any weapon worth using when the BR is built to basically have no weakness. Only in Infinite does it finally lose to the AR at close range which is why Infinite definitely has the best core MP experience and sandbox to date.
I get it, people like BR starts and it is a whole different way of playing. I can respect it, i made it to Onyx this season so i completely understand. BR start advocates show no understanding of the other side. AR starts is a completely different way of playing and has its own nuances that are different than BR starts. AR starts DO for a fact allow more map weapons to be used more often and i think we should just have 2 separate ranked playlist. One with BR starts and one with AR starts. Don’t take away people’s fun who love BR starts but also let those of us who love AR starts get a ranked version too. (This would also imply we need social BR starts in a new playlist without deleting social AR starts and im okay with that as well)
