It finally hit me last night - I wasn’t really having any fun anymore. Playing Settler, where all the action is crammed into fighting for the hill, and being unable to shoot more than one or two bullets at invisible players before having to duck into cover, then repeating this again and again. Go closer, and get grenade spammed. Stay far away, and unless I join the invisible masses I have no chance to get enough shots away to kill someone.
And that’s not counting the issues with ordnance. So many games swayed by a team getting binary rifles and the opponents getting needlers.
Halo 3 was never this frustrating. Get owned on that game, and it was simply a matter of the opposition being better players. I gradually improved at that game, learned the maps, the weapon spawns. It was fun!
Halo 4 has its positives, but as more and more players use active camo I’ve run out of patience. Trying to shoot at teams of people I can barely see… I finally realised that I can’t be bothered…
I’ll probably try dominion or ctf for a while, and see how things go. I want to love this game, but I really fear that the good days for it are over. 343 have ignored the major compaints (DMR being a huge one) to the extent that I’m sure Halo 5 will be more of the same. There’s good stuff to take from this, but as so many (ignored) posts on here have said, a lot needs to change.
I understand what your saying about this map & I play it 1 of 2 ways depending on which colour I am.
Red I camp with the shotgun back at base, Blue I will camp at the top with the railgun…
Also use plasma’s nades as they just love sticking around with the guys in that mobile coffin for 2 (or if your really lucky 3)
As for personal ordanance just have “requistion” as your tactical package.
On a + side Dominion is a really good game & I myself am thinking about going to CTF soon to complete the commendation for that gametype
Yeah, they need a classic slayer/ slayer pro option, should be able to vote for it. Throwdown is pretty much the only spot you wont get random weapon drops and where victories usually come to down to the better team. Good luck going in alone though.
you call slayer “pro” (snort) a playlist were you spawn with only a battle rifle, dont have any armor abilities, (boring) are garenteed a rocket launcher or a sniper every couple of minutes, and everyone runs around like chickens without heads from not having a radar? i call it stupid.

We do not need your completely ignorant and uneducated input on competitive settings.
If you like Infinity, have at it. But don’t criticize things you do not even comprehend.
You didn’t even get the facts right, furthering my point. Slayer Pro has BR,DMR,LR,Carbine.
Your sentence is a run-on and doesn’t make any sense anyways. You didn’t specify what we call Slayer Pro.

ah yet another ignorant, misguided post by you im starting to wonder if your being sarcastic if not my earlier point about you being a CHILD is true
also proves you are either a reach or halo 4 kid and didnt play earlier editions
I’ve been done with Infinity Slayer since December.

That doesn’t even make sense.
The competitive merits of infinity slayer are easily criticized by those who understand competitive gameplay.
Oh, unless you mean social gameplay, which practically everyone plays from time to time regardless, including people like Bravo.
Either way the gametype sucks. Throwdown is vastly more competitive and fiesta is vastly more chaotic.
The problem with Inf Slayer is that Slaying skill is reduced and Slaying power is enhanced; and Slayer is reduced to Slaying only, because map control and power weapon control are no longer relevant as secondary objectives.
I can tell you if 343i came out with Halo 5 and it was a knock off of Halo 3 or Reach, just with improved graphics, I wouldn’t even bother with Halo 4 any longer, and I would buy the next gen XBOX to play it too.

To put this in simpler terms (correct me if I’m wrong):
Infinity Slayer is bad because the ONLY goal is to slay, thus Ordnances which help you slay better by random lead to wins being randomly determined.
As opposed to Infinity CTF, where while your ability to slay is increased at random, slaying is not the prime objective.

I wouldn’t even take the game out of the xbox. And I would pay for all dlc if they did that. Imagine that, an arena shooter again.

we can only dream lmao
I can only handle so many Camo idiots in one session of MM, it’s amazing how bad some of these players are and how they think crouching with Camo takes skill. I hate Active Camo more than all of the other issues this game has combined.
