Best compromise is to:
Just don’t make unranked need to be Crossplay or Input based, the population will suffer from the division and 343 will have to add it back in eventually to actually match people into games.
That just sounds like it’s going to make everyone play ranked, tbh.
You would think so but if you ever touched MCC, you would know this isn’t true.
MCC has a majority of their players playing Social and a sizable amount of people playing Customs.
Ranked on MCC is barely populated because of Crossplay disabled and Input restrictions.
At the. Very least let it be an option to turn off. Xbox population will be fine, And PC claims they have the best so their Population should also be fine.
Console players should be forced to play a mode just cus the other side may see a population drop. I mean if they are going to add some form of cross anything it should be cross core customization and universal Coatings
So your saying Ranked is not all that popular on MCC.
But right now it kinda feels with Halo Infinite is basically that one kid crying that no one wants to play with them so other kids are than fixed to play with him thus forced Cross play.
Like man maybe console players don’t want to play with PC players due to hacking issues. It sucks but eh can’t blame us Console players for wanting an option to not play and if PC population suffers than Perhaps 343 will get more aggressive with Anti Cheats
That’s why the most logical solution right now is for 343 to get aggressive with Anticheats.
IP bans, account bans, name it. If you cheat you pay the price. You can make a 1000 accounts to cheat with but you get banned every other week.
You guys speak as if Console players are the only ones dissatisfied with Cheating, but us PC players also hate cheaters and want them out.
Of course this doesn’t stop people from playing with modded controllers because that’s a thing too. Stop treating this as a Console vs PC issue, it’s clearly a Cheaters vs Non Cheaters issue and 343 has to deal with it in order for the game to thrive.
Give us the choice of disabling cross-platform
I mean it’s a double edged sword. If they disable crossplay, PC pop will drop because console players won’t want to play with them.
If they leave it forced, PC pop will still drop because console players still don’t want to play with them and will move on to a different game.
It’s not even the cheating that bothers me really. I just don’t like how this game handles like absolute garbage compared to its predecessors. They’ve neutered controls and set so many unwarranted restrictions all for the sake of input parity that it feels almost foreign.
Yea, I’ve also noticed AA and Bullet Mag on Controllers are noticeably neutered, and that’s on a harsher level than H2.
Like sure, it’s not H4/H5’s level of aggressiveness but it’s too weak at the moment, or at least hella inconsistent, which is just not a good experience for Controller.
Modded controllers is a universal side console problem and not the fault of 343i…I’m not defending them but modded controllers are an issue for Microsoft and Sony to resolve not the game devs. Personally I don’t think they can do anything about modded controllers as they are so hard to detect, but anti cheat and crossplay are both software options that the game devs can do something about relatively “easily” in the grand scheme of things.
Yea this game feels.like is still just a beta test, with extremely restrictive features customization being one of the. It it’s purposely restrictive to push profits
Now by Modded controller what do you mean, cus I have the Halo Infinite elite series 2 controller. Would that be under the modded catagory
Yeah, I don’t see the game as “infested” with cheaters as a lot of others claim it to be, I still have yet to come across any blatant cheaters. I’ve come across only a handful that seemed suspiciously hyperaware of what’s going on, but nothing conclusive upon watching the theater perspective for those individuals. That’s not to say they don’t exist at all, as I have seen the hard evidence people have provided and because they’re a given in a F2P system since there’s no real punishment for cheating. The implementation of an Anti-Cheat will help a lot for those that have been coming across them though, even if just the slightest bit. As godawful as EasyAntiCheat is, I’d rather have that than the nothing at all we have right now.
There are people out there selling modded Elite Series 2 which has more capabilities than the norm, and one of the more prominent use is sticker AA.
Not to say that Infinite’s Controller AA inconsistency doesn’t need to be fixed, but such modded controllers exist, and that’s only one of the few functions it has. They have something known as “Turbo” as well. Up to you to guess what function that grants the player.
If. Y AA you mean Aim Assist yea I don’t. Use that in Halo. Mines turned off with controller.
Honestly.it more so gets in the way than helps
as a pc player, I sympathize with you, cheaters suck hard
so all the players that wane play social playlist’s and not wane play against pc players are force to have crossplay still with then if there like it or not?
here is something better add for both playlist’s a option to turn off/on crossplay.
so that all the players have a option and not only the players that only play ranked
I know the question was aimed at someone else, probably to make a point, but any OEM controller is legitimate.
It begs a different kinda question though: when does officially supported hardware/software/features become overtly unfairly advantageous?
No…because it’s not a modded controller.
