Force feeding

Being forced upon us in the normal Infinity Slayer and Big Team Battle playlists because no one liked it enough for its own list!!!

**** NO. I will be leaving every single game in which voting ends with any of the PRO gametypes.

Likely I will blow up a team vehicle or two first.

Um, What?

Can you clarify?

Do you like only Infinity settings or Pro settings? I think you mean pro settings are infiltrating your favorite game playlists, but your post is a bit murky. Would you be happy to have Classic (pro/ranked) and Infinity (social/non-ranked) mirrored playlists like Halo 3?

With Love,
Your Mom,

I’m going to ask: Why can’t we have both?

There’s players that like the Infinity settings.

There’s players that like the more classic settings.

Why can’t we have both?

If you don’t like the Infinity settings that gets voted, leave.

If you don’t like the Pro settings that gets voted, leave.

Why can’t we have both?

With both options being in, you’re never being force fed one or the other. Why? Because we can have both! Win-win.

I’m looking forward to trying BTB Pro. Hopefully this will be the first time vehicles will get a good look in.

I’ve never been a “pro” type player, but I am looking forward to playing BTB Pro.

There’s a place for Infinity and a place for Pro, frankly I think it’d be nice to play something a little more “classic” for a change. I would also like to NOT have to change tactics mid-game to counter AC players.

I like AC too it’s just way too much a hassle to deal with when the whole opposing team starts using them to get the “upper hand”.

There should be two separate playlists, I personally hate infinity and would love to have an all Team Slayer Pro playlist…

Also OP i despise the fact that you can’t just play a game-type and deal with it. I may hate infinity and most of the settings in this game. But i never quit just because a vote didnt go my way. It’s because of players like you that they implemented JiP. Therefore I despise you.

No one is forcing you to play anything. I do not say that to be rude.

If the game types are not to your satisfaction, then complain on this forum. But don’t act as if 343i took away your choice as a human being.

well arent those who want a more Halo style of gameplay being forced the infinity settings even though they had years worth of feedback asking for the opposite o what they gave and what we got in Reach >.>

No.

We all have a choice to simply walk away. The word forced implies that 343i is removing that choice to walk away and we HAVE to play a game that we despise.

Again, I respect the people that do not like the game or the design choices of 343i. But enough of the hyperbole where 343i is forcing us to do something that we do not want to.

Under this logic, Bungie forced dual welding horizontal split screen, playing as the arbiter etc… on us.

No. They offered, and we accepted by playing…

The alternative is simple, they offer and we refuse…

I’d prefer it to be in a separate playlist. I like the more classic settings more but I’m not a fan of witching back and forth in the same playlist. I end up hitting buttons that don’t do anything in critical situations or playing the wrong style when Pro is thrown in with infinity 1 out of every 5 games. Plus I’m a noob and prefer radar.

I like Big Team.

I hate not having a motion tracker.

So yeah, if on every match Pro wins the vote…I’m pretty much cooked.

But I hope that won’t happen!

Enjoy your hour of Zen between searches.

Yes OP he is right its not being forced upon you, it is an option and if it gets voted for #dealwithit. You always have other option to go and play within the game. I also want to state OP you are part of the reason we cant have nice things, you dont get what you want you just up and throw a tantrum and leave.

But I still want to say what about the players who do not like infinity, but want to play btb or hell even 4v4 (there is throwdown for 4v4 but if you go in solo its quite unbearable). They have no options they literally are forced to play infinity or nothing else.

You should be doing the opposite and leaving any gametype in IS or BTB that isn’t pro settings.

I understand you need you precious Boltshot,PV,camo and random luck ordnances but it’s much better this way.

I miss the Halo 3 playlist setup, alot.

your don’t get forced to do anything.

And i didn’t think there was friendly fire anymore

Well… That’s just… You know. Your opinion.

Just to clarify.

I enjoy being able to use my various Armor Abilities and Packages when I play, and I also enjoy being able to use my personal loadouts, seeing as they fit my personal style of play.

Ordnance, I actually agree on. It sort of takes out a major part of the Arena Shooter portion of the game from my perspective. And, I honestly wish it had never been implemented in to the game. It takes the Halo feel from the game more so than any other implementation IMO.

I also feel Loadouts should stay in Halo for the long run, though of course some major thought about balance should be put in to them in the future as to avoid the OP DMR; Boltshot; Sticky Spawns; ETc.

And, for the record I do not use PV; the Boltshot; or AC. As, they do not fit in my style of play.

Primary Class: BR, AR, Frags, Regen Field, Ammo, Firepower.

Secondary Class: Carbine, Light Rifle, Frags, Thruster Pack, Ammo, Firepower

You should also not make assumptions about other players like that, it makes you look like a total -Yoink-.

There’s significantly more playlists in this game where you can use whatever loadout you want, but the default playlist for matchmaking shouldn’t be full of randomness and imbalance.

At launch it should have been called Team Slayer and have Infinity stuff as an option that sometimes shows up, not the other way around.

Or, perhaps divide the two in to their own sections of sub-playlists.

Infinity is the new thing, it is the new Halo multiplayer. Like it or not. And, the imbalance is an easy fix by simply balancing out the weapons/AAs/Etc. Perhaps even the removal of ordnance.

Do I like everything about Infinity? No. Certainly not, my biggest complaint is by far the ordnance system. Though, I honestly feel Loadouts need to stay in game as they promote tailoring your personal style to what you like as opposed to everyone BR or die.

It’s a nice change. It was executed rather poorly, but overall I see it as a breath of fresh air for the franchise and I look forward to the changes that will be made in Halo 5. I believe 343 may have learned from their mistakes this time around.

You can only keep a formula the exact same for so long before things stagnate. Gears of War is a prime example of this.

The face of the FPS genre, like it or not, is changing. And, those who linger in the past will be left behind. Do I like it? No. Is anything going to stop this change? More than likely not.

This was 343s first attempt at pushing Halo forward. They -Yoinked!- up, they learned from it. I’m sure there is a balance to be met somewhere along the line.

But, shunning the change as a whole is not the way you should go about it. You should, instead, be providing constructive feedback of said changes.

I acknowledge that Halo 4 is not perfect. But I also acknowledge that many of the changes, if done correctly, are just what Halo needs to prevent it from stagnating.
