One of the few redeeming factors about this game and lack of split screen on console, like 343 promised, is the crossplatform. I was able to have all my friends play together on my birthday over the internet.
That being said games liek sea of thieves, etc have an option to enable/disable and I don’t see why we can’t have that simple feature with it default on so its still easy to play casaul games in matchmaking with your cross platform friends and still give other users the freedom to create a more controlled experience.
removing it completely I feel would be a backwards mistake, and having some choice option would be a step forward in progress.
I resent that you say that. I play on PC and I most certainly do not cheat. I’ve encountered my fair share of cheaters and they have them on Xbox, too.
i made a thread on this too. Saying we need stronger Anti cheat or console only. Then it quickly became a “controllers will never be taken seriously in esports” “Aim Assist holds your hand” thread.
Which just made me think the controller vs mnk topic is just another great reason to have the option to fully disable cross play!
I dont even think wait times would suffer much. With all the cheating its even a good possibility many of the pros would switch to series x. They already want that for tournement play
We need and want a disable cross play option not because of just cheaters but I would like to just face other Xbox players like the good old days. I don’t hate Pc players or have anything against them it’s just my preference.
Because even tho console can have cheaters, its mostly limited to softer cheats like network manipulation and cronus/strykepack use (which halo has 0 recoil so those are less useful).
PC can do ALL that, plus wall hacks aim bots and many other much worse cheats. The cheats are much easier to get and install, and far more players use and have access to them. Cheaters are much more rare in console only lobbies in any game out.
Also the controller vs mnk debate. They play much too diff to balance. In 99% of games mnk is better, but in halo controller is better. MNK users then automatically assume its because the aim assist must be OP, and call it a soft aim bot and “cheating” even tho the AA is super low. Halo simply plays well on controller, it always has, halos 0 recoil, long ttk and slower movement fit a controller and doesnt make use of normal mnk advantages. Keeping mnk and controller separate will fix that.
it will also be better for competitive. having ranked matches where players are using the same hardware keeps things balanced. Only being able to queue input based solo or duo is not enough!
I actually do see it. What are you talking about??? People still jailbreak Xboxes, you do know that right? Halo Infinite can still be played on the Xbox One, which can be jailbroken.
Well, I was of the opinion that all cheaters are PC players although I’ll draw that back and say most of them are.
Toggle cross-platform on or off, yes. I guess don’t get rid of it completely. But right now, I have no interest.
It’s probably a 50/50 chance that I’ll come across someone using a wall hack. I like to watch Lucid and SingleHaloClips on YouTube and they come across a few.
I know the Theatre mode is still pretty glitchy compared to Halo 3 but I am thankful for it’s conclusion. I don’t think I’m going crazy.
Getting rid of crossplay isn’t the problem. I’m thankful for that so my GF and I can play together since she has a series X and I’m on PC.
But MCC has better anti-cheat precautions. Heck, it launched on PC with Easy Anti-cheat. Same with their other ports. I don’t know why they just don’t have it on Infinite. That should have been one of the first things they implemented.
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.
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
