So yeah, there one thing that bother me since halo 2, the halo community is divided in half in objectives competitive matchmaking. There are the good players who want to win, have fun and there the kill wh*res, who are as good as the other players, but just play to get kills and dont score any flag, oddball or koth points. This is something that will screw the fun out of FFA throwback for a lot of players. How to fix it ? its simple, when you look at someone service record, there should be a new tab named, FFA throwback and it show the percentage of your games that you finished first, second, third, etc, as well as your k/d ratio for this playlist, that is not counted in your overall k/d ratio. This way, everyone will actually try to win instead of just having the most kills regardless of the objective.
Anyone who is a bit competitive care about their stats, especially the stats that everyone can see by looking in your service record, and the only thing that show a player skills right now is the k/d ratio, wich is totally fine for slayers, but not for objectives games.
Being a kill -Yoink!-, just meant you were dominating the other team as a slayer. Why would I throw myself on the enemy flag when they have all 4 guys alive again? Exactly.
Agreed this is quite annoying. Tried out the FFA throwback playlist a little earlier, and in every game there was that one guy who didn’t go for the objective, and just sat back with a precision weapon and farmed up kills.
Sure doesn’t help the atmosphere, but I don’t think there’s anything we can do.
> Being a kill -Yoink!-, just meant you were dominating the other team as a slayer. Why would I throw myself on the enemy flag when they have all 4 guys alive again? Exactly.
Good team logic bad Free For All logic. My overall K/D is around a 1 but that’s because I’m the hill guy or flag runner or ball guy ( I know sounds gay) for my team. While my other buddies have like a 2 or close to it because they are the slayers. Now in FFA it more of just being an troll for better use of a word. Go in kill only and never touch the objective for shame for shame. It’s all about the win in halo that’s why we need the halo3/2 ranks back that way people actually play the objectives not just be trolls in a game type
@ClassicalMuzik, Exactly…, there nothing we can do, but 343 can definately do something about this, my idea might not be the best one, but it sure would reduce the number of kill wh*res in FFA throwback by a lot.
@Yiazmat012, most of them do it only for their k/d ratio. Rare are the ones doing it to either piss of other people or make a montage or something.
@Lord Chun, the halo 2/3 ranks are back, they are just hidden for now because they want to make sure the system is ready before releasing it early after christmas. Didnt you noticed that you fight against people as good as you like 95% of the time, depending on how many games you played in each playlist. But yeah, this would definately fix it for the late levels, but it wouldnt fix the fact that many people will restrain themselves from playing FFA throwback to not -Yoink- up their overall k/d.
@MORTO hi, you dont get it, do you ? Im not complaining about people shooting at me in FFA lol, im complaining about half the players standing in the back the whole game and finish last with a 5 k/d ratio…
