Been playing quite a bit after the launch of Halo infinite multiplayer and I am enjoying most of it (a lot). However, there are a few things about the matchmaking that I would change.
First of all, I would really want to see gametypes like Koth and SWAT to return (which they probably will once the full game launches).
Second, I think the matchmaking structure should be as follows:
Quickplay:
- Slayer
- Objective
Ranked:
- Slayer
- Objective
- SWAT
BTB
Also, there should be map+gametype voting before the match starts. This would be especially important for ranked matchmaking because some players/teams are better at objective play while others are better at slaying etc. Players should imo be able to specialize in whichever they enjoy more. That is important in competitive environment imo.
343 could also add different variations of slayer to quickplay as voting options in the pre-game lobby. Such as BR slayer.
BTB imo doesn’t need separate playlists for slayer and objective though. BTB should, however, also have voting in the pre-game lobby.
Thirdly, I think BTB should have BR in loadouts since most of the encounters happen at long range. I can live with how it is now, but BR starts would improve BTB imo.
I’m really enjoying the game gameplay-wise and all, but I think the way matchmaking is built right now feels quickly put together and not really complete. The game is essentially at Beta stage right now so I’m expecting pretty significant changes will happen eventually. Either way, the changes I listed above would be great imo.
