Games Other Halo

mainly infinity doubles.

all the stuff that doesnt work in 4v4 infinity slayer is now in 2v2.

especially instant respawn.

theres nothing like killing somebody only for them to respawn a mili second later in a spot they can easily clean you up with a DMR. <---- this is a problem

oh and active camo and boltshot you gotta love the camo,boltshot, and sticky kids.

i hope bravos new playlist doesnt suck because ive already lost faith in 343 and will not be buying h5.

what are your opinons about infinity doubles?
do you like infinity doubles? things you dont like?

(btw im not talking about doubles pro i actually like doubles pro)

I agree orinances shouldnt be in team doubles. It was fun when i actully shared and communicated with my teammate sharing ordinances and stuff. The main things is the power weapons in ordinance just take them out replace them with AA’s and loadout weapons and just give us one set AR/ magnum loadout for infinity doubles. Thats the best option for it in my opinion. it shouldnt have instant respawn but the spawn time needs to be long enough to give a reaction of urgency but short enough as to not piss people off for waiting.

Ordinance can work but theres going to need to be the classic set AR loadout and the weapons in it need to be heavily reworked NO POWER WEAPONS!!!.

Doubles Pro is very good right now. But ordnance shouldn’t be in any mode, let alone Doubles.

The entire multiplayer isn’t fun because of the DMR and Boltshot. It’s not like Doubles was going to be any different. I was lucky enough to play a Doubles match where no one was using the DMR nor Boltshot. It was the most Competitive match i’ve played in Halo 4 yet.

I’ve played a good amount of matches where the DMR nor Boltshot wasn’t in use. The balance is fantastic.

The point of the infinity doubles IS to have ordinances. For people that don’t like it, that’s why they also have the option of doubles pro.

Doubles is a step in the right direction. OP, you’re complaining about Infinity Slayer settings. 2v2 and Infinity Slayer settings are two separate entities. When you say “Doubles isn’t fun”, 343i will get the impression that Team Doubles was a bad idea, when in reality it was a great idea. They just might have to tweak the overall Infinity Slayer settings, in turn, fixing Team Infinity Slayer and Infinity Doubles, and appeasing a large portion of the community.

Please don’t pin this on Doubles. It’s actually really fun compared to other game types.

infinity doubles is a joke, and the majority of the time we destroy them so hard they quit out

I have also had some games where they both use camo the whole game combined with boltshot and the already standoffish way doubles plays, it sucks

I do love when doubles pro comes up and the campers have no idea what to do and realise they never had any skill to begin with

In my opinion, the only thing that makes it not fun is the dmr because while you can out maneuver some one with any other starting weapon by using strafing, side jumping, and good aim, the dmr is able to get at least 2 shots in when you move.

I truly can’t understand why everyone is gets so mad over the Boltshot and DMR while claiming they are such cancers to the entire. I just checked and have played over 300 slayer matches and have died a total of 34 times from a Boltshot. That’s about one death per ten games. The DMR is a lot stronger than the BR at distance, but is pretty equal to the light rifle at long distance. The BR at short distance is, in my opinion just as effective as the DMR.

I understand how messed up it is that the Boltshot is a shot kill, in essence making it a power weapon, but statistically it is not overly abused by the Matchmaking community. For those who are so upset at the DMR are typically the people who just get out played whether they are using a DMR, BR, or light rifle. If you are so disappointed in how strong it is, then why aren’t you using it.

On to the real reason for this post… The first few games I played were slayer pro and I loved it. I liked the lack of radar, the set loadouts, having Railgun and Sticky Detonator as the primary power weapons, no special perks (camo, Promethean vision, etc), and the tweaks within the maps.

My last few games were just slayer and sucked, we also got rocked both games so maybe that is why. I feel like putting all the aspects that regular slayer has just defeats the whole purpose of doubles, teamwork and strategy.

We do use it.

We just don’t want to be forced to use it all the time.

We’re in the process of fixing the personal ordnance options - they were tweaked for 2 vs 2 play, but this did not make it into Monday’s update. We are putting in a fix overnight, and this should be taken care of by the morning.

Infinity Doubles almost never got voted for when I played, was usually just Doubles Pro.

14

Doubles owns no matter the settings IMO.

15

I do think instant respawns blow though…no matter the playlist…And as far as the DMR goes: I am not forced to use it all the time. Actually I rarely pick it…

Haven’t played for days. Really looking forward to seeing it all when its ready.

I agree. Infinity Slayer/Infinity Doubles aren’t very good. I like Doubles Pro much better. Putting the powerups on timers is much better than personal ordnance drops. Taking out instant respawn is also good.

I can honestly say that Doubles Pro is the best gametype in matchmaking right now. Definitely not perfect, but it is a much appreciated and welcomed step in the right direction.
