Honestly its probably not even leavers. Look around the internet, the game is kicking people off left and right. This last “Hotfix” has seemed to just make the connection issues spread from BTB to the rest of the playlists.
And they claim it was thoroughly tested. Its time to master chief to rest it seems.
It’s definitely leavers. If the leavers are leaving mostly when we are loosing then it’s leaving. Especially if it’s right after a flag cap
There are a lot of issues with ranked:
So the legit question is: “Why should i play ranked?”
You left out:
Definitely the case. I’ve seen fewer and fewer people playing Halo Infinite in my friends list, and I seem to be matching with the same people over and over. I’m D5 as well, and the skill levels across both my teammates and opponents vary so much it’s almost not worth playing ranked anymore. Too unpredictable.
I’m pretty much done with the game now. Constant hackers in ranked, my teammates are 12 ranks lower than me and don’t appear to have hands to play the game with. It’s the worst expereience I’ve had in Halo ranked for a very long time.
I made the mistake of letting my eight year old play some of my rank placing matches (she was very excited for Halo and wouldn’t let up). So I started at gold one. Now that I’m bouncing around mid platinum it’s pretty much made it unbearable to play ranked.
Yeah ive play 4 games of ranked tonight. Every match was against Onyx players. Had a few games of Attrition and the difference is night and day.
If you cant match me against people of my own rank level, just tell me you cant find a match… putting me in as fodder for onyx is just terrible, terrible matchmaking. Ive lost 46 CSR cause matchmaking doesn’t work, not because im a bad player… another feature that is just broken in infinite.
Honestly though, this game is a dumpster fire. It will be dead soon.
I don’t feel that I have run into many cheaters per say, but I am getting tired of my platinum team getting stomped by Gold 1 alt accounts
I haven’t played ranked since week 2 of this game, and im thinking about playing some here in a few mins, is it really that bad?
Very unfortunate. You’re right though. I have an open ticket as well. When I played h5 it took about a week to get the resolved email confirmation. Maybe less …Thought that games population was very low when I submitted a ticket. I’d like to believe that the reason why is the amount of cases. Perhaps being overwhelmed by it. However I have no idea. I dont know the size of their team. I do know that the times I’ve used the support site worked every single time in the past halo tho. In this one idk maybe there’s just so much back log since it’s new and the player count was very high at the start…with many problems as well.
No, support is there.
I got banned for trying to play BTB. I didn’t realise it was for 5 mins so obviously raised a ticket appealing it, that has been answered and Ive had back and forth with a rep regarding the fact that ban will forever be on my record.
The ones Ive submitted regarding cheating are just sat stagnating, they are over a month old. If they were overwhelmed then and still not through to those, I can only imagine the backlog now.
They are not interested. They just want you to suck it up and go buy some coatings or an armor effect.
Those reports are different though. They’re sorted. Like the type of problem you are having goes to different sections, and some would be easier to resolve than others. I’ve seen players banned that were on the lead boards while many of us were talking about the cheater that got banned so it does work. It’s not a wasted effort, but to see it open for over a month I agree is definitely not good.
When using the report tool though, you have to select report a player, and that gets handled differently than submitting a ticket for something else. I accidentally submitted a ticket without selecting report player and the agent emailed me and said to submit another ticket and select report player, otherwise it will not be seen by the right people.
got ya.
They must be overwhelmed then. Shame they didn’t implement an actual anti cheat to do the heavy lifting automatically.
I’m largely over the game now to be honest, so for all I care they can just delete the tickets Ive raised.
I won’t touch ranked until the cheats are permabanned.
I don’t know if it’s that bad. But once you have a couple games where your team quits and then a couple cheater games…it just gets under my skin when play time is limited for me
Have entire systems been banned before? As someone mentioned, cheaters can easily create a new account, but if a system was detected as having a lot of banned accounts, I imagine they could easily block the console, and not just individual accounts, right?
I just don’t see any reason to play a game competitively when the hit registration decides matches
Or when hidden MMR is vastly different than visible CSR. Did you see the bot bootcamp MMR post tonight? Makes zero sense whatsoever.
well idk about cheaters, I just finished all my cross play ranked matches and won 8 out of ten and was first and second place on my team in every match even dropped 32Ks in an oddball match against a full stack of plats and it put me in gold 6 WTF
