Big Team B.S.

Big team battle really needs some fixing. It is way too one sided. The team that starts with an early lead in slayer is always going to win. For the people on the other side, they are going like 9 and 16. It is B.S. for them, I played 5 matches of big team battle, on 4 oIt of the 5, my team lost big time. Everyone in my team had 5 more deaths than they had kills. Please fix this and make these matches more even!

You don’t have a rank yet. You have only played 5/10 games. The first 10 games there is NO matchmaking AT ALL. Once you get your rank it will get better because it will actually place you into trueskill matchmaking. The first 10 games are always very unpredictable in every playlist. Once you get your rank it should be much closer games.

How the hell would taking the lead in a slayer match mean the other team is suddenly at a disadvantage? In fact I think the whole purpose of slayer is to gain the lead in kills over the other team.

Yeah, I suspect that the team with the earlier lead tends to win… because they are better at the game. So, it’s working as intended. Losing to them should give you a lower rank once you place and as a result, you should get matches with players closer to your level.

youre just getting unlucky with -Yoink- teammates

Correct.

Exactly. It’s not like Warzone. where having an early lead means increasing REQ Rank faster. Anyone can get the power weapons on BTB maps, even if they are losing.

Yeah man… You’re just getting crummy teammates. Trust me, I know. I think my first 5 BTB games were lost. Not that I contributed much. But still.

3 DNF in the last 2 days alone. Are you quitting as soon as the other team takes the lead?

The spawns need fixing in BTB (DEATH TO DYNAMIC SPAWNS!), but there’s no inherent balancing issues that prevent anyone from digging themselves out of a hole.

Two Banshees should spawn on both sides of altar otherwise the red team always has a better shot at reaching it first. If you’re placed with a bunch of noobs, kiss goodbye any fun you had planned for this match. It’s not worth playing when it is so one-sided, I -Yoinking!- hate it!! I’m always at the top of my team in KDA yet I still get crammed with utter noobs and betrayers and such. Makes for an absolutely impossible matchup. FIX SPAWN KILLING. if a team over-runs your side of the map it’s game over. This is simply not fair, I’m so frustrated with having to fight back in a game that starts off 20-3 when I am hardly the cause of those 20 deaths. Focused or Expanded play is ineffective half of the time. I’m so fed up with how this system was made… needs some serious patching and less banshee -Yoink-.

remove slayer from BTB. Problem solved.

I have been on both sides of the map, and have been able to get to the Banshee first either. It’s mostly about who has the better jump from the start.

Also, I don’t believe that spawn killing is necessarily unfair, unless it’s an objective game and the other team is choosing to kill you instead of do the objective. If the other team is able to traverse over to your base and essentially take it over than, most of the time you will spawn on their side of the map anyway.

I agree that the Focused search doesn’t realm do much in terms if matching you up with other players in your skill range. I search Focused every game and quite often get teamed with kids who obviously just picked up the game. That should not be happening. That might be a population issue or it might not. We will probably never know.

That’s true, I was just venting :rage::triumph::relieved:

My and. I didn’t realize this was 11/2015. I would not have replied. Thank you for pointing it out.

They can’t fix that? They are just better than you skill wise

ahaha Why does it matter if it’s an old thread?

If it’s been like a month or 2 months with no activity and you don’t have anything meaningful or substantial to bring to the thread, it’s probably not worth reviving. In those cases, if there isn’t a more recent and active thread, you can start a new one and link back to the old one for reference.

Reasoning behind this is that information can very quickly go out of date in a topic, especially with Halo where things can change over a few hours. What happened in the Halo Game / Community 2 months ago could have been fixed, updated, become a non-issue. A lot of people tend not to read past the first page or first few pages and can quite often miss the important info. This causes confusion when old topics are revived - people think it’s still an issue, etc. So we like to try and avoid that :slight_smile:
