Both Big Team and Infinity Slayer are ruined by the crappy game mechanic known as ordinance. People get rewarded for picking their nose in this game, making ordinance an unskilled and incredibly cheap thing to obtain. Just played a match where the entire enemy team sat in their base with two Binary Rifles, a Rocket Launcher, and a Scattershot, refusing to leave at all times. This is on Ragnorok by the way, which for some god forsake reason everyone picks the moment it comes on screen. Seriously, I just spent 5 years playing that terrible map, how about maybe playing the new ones? I want to be able to use custom loadouts but not be destroyed by hundreds of power weapons at once, which is there is currently no option for.
To make matters worse, getting kills with the weapons you got from ordinance adds on to your ordinance meter. Who was playing Call of Duty when they made this game? Hell, even the people over at Treyarch realized it was a bad idea and did away with it in Black Ops.
And the camping, jesus…I don’t even feel like I’m playing Halo anymore, not even in the single, pathetic classic playlist.
if you can’t get your kills in and get your powah! up. play better. or run up there and draw the fire to you so your team can kill the enemy, thats what i did first. good for your reflex skills
I think the ordinance drops are a cool idea but they need to be more balanced…I have had so many instances where I get the dumbest choices such as a hammer in Valhalla, a need
Eric on vortex and my favorite the random frag grenades which I can use to do nothing because the other team has 2 binary rifles and realigns and rocket and oh SNIPERS!!! All over the map in camo…I don’t hate they idea of ordinance drops but I most certainly do not love it…it needs to be balanced so everyone can have a chance or at least make it harder to get the power weapons. To be honest I would rather fight to keep my rockets and control an area than camp in the back picking ppl kills so I can get a sniper and camo up to get even more kills its no fun for anyone.
While I do enjoy ordinances, I totally want a playlist with fixed weapon spawn. Limit ordinances to just ammo/grenades, power-ups and place the power weapons in key points.
Problem is, there’s like maybe 7k people playing slayer pro at a time compared to big team or infinity slayers 60-70, hell 90 thousand. It’s overall easier to find a game and to stay in a game. That and if they had a big team slayer pro I would play that in a heartbeat. 4 on 4 is just too boring.
I would, but the problem is I’m restricted to a DMR or a BR. I just want a Slayer playlist with no ordnance and custom loadouts, but that’s not possible ATM. And I won’t play objective playlists without friends since every group I play solo is in a party together, coordinating and whooping -Yoink-. And the lack of a normal FFA Slayer playlist is a ballbuster too.
