Cheaters in Social Slayer

Games Halo Infinite
1

How are people already so bad at this game they’re willing to cheat in what is basically action sack

Kong should be a fun game type, but the entire match people are eating direct hits and killing you with missed barrels from 10 feet away. Its unplayable.

I mean, it could be because the entire enemy team was on xbox, but nobody seems to want to hear that.

Edit: Case in point, another match where I have to literally hit the same xbox player with about 4 direct barrels just to kill them, and luckily they’re so terrible they didn’t know how to avoid it or it might have taken 6

its important to note they can also throw more barrels faster somehow. It’s like their hand reloads instantly instead of having that second lag between throws

Probably more along the lines of lag then actual cheating…

Haven’t seen any cheaters but experienced some random desync.

I don’t know why some people jump to the cheating conclusion. Online games have lag. It’s a thing.

Oh it’s Wulfy.

because they’re cheating if they’re lagging and winning on purpose

They know what they’re doing, they know they have to be shot 3 extra times in the head in swat. They’re taking advantage of it.

But I mean, you can just call it simple lag while they win for free every match if you want, sure.

Are you truly insinuating that Console players are “cheating” because of the inherent lag that is found in any online network?

Thank you…. It’s not cheaters. There’s no gain in cheating.

I remember when people started complaining that people are cheating in mcc after it released on pc. Only to realize that crossplay wasnt even a thing at that point in mcc

its funny, because in MCC its the exact opposite problem and PC players have super powers

I immediately switched to PC when MCC PC and a couple of other games came out

Because there is absolutely no indiciation that lag/desync is better or worse for any platform.

Any video proof of that?

I love it. More items that should’ve been part of the game at launch. Some players honestly just dominate and it’s extremely scary to people.

My guy…you have got to grasp that the issues you are having are issues with the game itself, not a particular platform. Everyone has days where it seems like they can’t win no matter what and a bunch of questionable things happen, shoot it just happened to me yesterday, had terrible games but I’m not trying to point the finger at any particular group and the platform they play on. I just chalk it up to issues with the game, trust me, when you buy a console they don’t give you a magical lag switch you can turn on and off whenever you please. I’m not trying to be mean but I just don’t understand how all the issues you are experiencing are the sole fault of console players.

Just got some Halo 2 PTSD at the mention of a lag switch.

Fun game but wow the lag switchers were frustrating. Halo Infinite’s desync and lag is way less of an issue (to me) compared to the standy routers back then.

In this game I just take the loss when I have a laggy game and hope for a better connection the next game.

Same, when the game is acting crazy I just take the loss and move on. If the losses start to pile up, then sometimes the best thing to do is turn it off and step away for the day. Playing laggy and desynced games are not worth me losing my sanity.

Didn’t this guy make a thread complaining about Xbox players for the wrong reasons just yesterday?

Dude honestly what you describe sounds a lot like you suffer from major desync.

Because when I’m in a match with just pc players I don’t have these issues. I guarantee if you’re in a match with only Xbox players you’ll notice how much cleaner the game plays.

Maybe it’s a correlation? Maybe Xbox players just have cheaper internet, or live somewhere with a bad server, or rely more on wifi, who knows.

But it’s consistent that series x players specifically are the hardest to 4 shot and the most frequent cases of someone shooting through walls, etc etc.

Don’t even get me started on how fast they shoot the sidekick, it’s like they spawn with an SMG. And ffs PC players don’t even have red reticle, which is a HUGE handicap whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

The game is busted, and many of the issues are directly related to the crossplay not being an accurate representation of what people are doing.

Pros themselves swear the series x version of the game is the best version, that’s why they use it in LAN tournaments exclusively.

Wow. The call out of xbox players just have cheaper internet or live somewhere with a bad server. Jeez buddy. Good way to make people ignore anything you say.

Well if that is your experience and assessment then that is your right; however, I respectfully disagree with a number of things stated. At the end of the day if you have come to the conclusion that Series X players have an advantage then who am I to talk you out of it, I will say that I agree that if the option to turn off crossplay were available I think a number of people would utilize it, but my assumption is that probably more people play on consoles because they are the more affordable way to get into gaming than spending a lot of cash on gaming PCs so the pool of only PC players would definitely be smaller. But I could be completely wrong about that, I am just assuming. Also, I agree the game has issues, we have all experienced them and until 343 decides to put manpower into fixing them we just have to live with them for now.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t work anyway at this point. The population is so low that not having crossplay would make finding matches impossible. I can’t even find matches in most playlists now, but a lot of that might be connected to SBMM too. If I’m solo my mmr is pretty high in anything slayer.
