So you like 50-50 trades every time, got it. Because that’s what I hear when someone says they want an AR start. The gun is trash. I would however, support a Playlist where it’s slayer for you with an AR start if there was an HCS practice Playlist or something that allowed me to still play with my real life friends that had a BR start every time, which we want, without having to supposedly mess up the experience for that one random guy that wants to complain about a less than stellar teammate when he goes into crossplay by himself.
More like 90-10 if you are good at the game. AR starts reward being good at the game, not being good at shooting, so if 2 players are equally bad at the game it’s gonna be a 50/50
It’s supposed to be trash, that’s how arena shooters work.

Bro that’s one playlist and only half the time. You get your preferred start in every other social playlist.

Hahahaha!
It is a first person shooter. You’re not going to be good at this game if you’re not good at shooting.

You just needed to make it like MCC from the start 
.
Maps
Modes
Server selection
Input selection
Platform selection
MCC’s ability to tailor the gamers experience was great and infinite’s is terrible.
I can’t believe people are still playing the game. So the update is saying that onyx players will now have easier matches in general? I feel bad for the casual gamer.

It’s not that simple, “bro.”

It is actually most of the time: more than 58%

Team Slayer was already the most popular playlist during Season 1, so why mess with success?
-
There wasn’t any warning ahead of time: Waypoint, Twitter, Reddit… nothing.

They fixed the BR melee damage in Ranked Arena so that it retains the 2-burst melee kill capability, but it is still “nerfed” in Social playlists. That is absolutely ridiculous!
At the very least, they need to fix the BR melee damage discrepancy. Otherwise, make all of the Team Slayer game types BR-only, or none of them. Right now, both groups of people are unhappy!

I have no idea what you even talking about? Smurfing on low elo isn’t exactly cool. Doing it with friends is fine but doing it to just diss on others is just being a trash being.

I just want CQC as it’s the helmet I use in MCC
Can we add a text label on the UI of who in your team is using audio chat? It’s so hard to tell who’s talking whenever in a game. I had to open up scoreboard to see who’s talking.

I still don’t get it how such crucial and simple to execute features ain’t making the game. As a lead UX designer you should be ashamed as hell if you approve on shipping without it. You literally have just to look at old and other titles… you don’t even have to come up with something. It’s just embarrassing…

I still dont think unranked players should be on anyones fireteam regardless of lower level or not. These are iften newer players learning the game and last thing they need is to be griefed by Smurfed Duamond or Onyx trying to boost his buddies.
Suggestion: Create standard game modes WITHOUT vehicles. There’s nothing more frustrating than playing a game of Land Ownership dominating a base and your entire team being decimated by a single player firing from a Warhog Cannon.
Right? This is one of the biggest issues with the over all game. All the network issues and rubberbanding. Making it really hard to love this game…
Also if they are going to give the vehicles a bump then they need to spawn weapons that take them out. Wasps are already a pain in the butt

A mutli player game that adds new modes that you cant play with friends, restricts existing modes you could previously play with friends, and adds nothing similar or nothing at all to replace what they took away. How are yall appealing to a broader audience lmao this is hopeless

Does 343 not realize by forcing players to be at similar skill level that itll only promote more people throwing games and using smurf accounts which will in turn create unbalanced lobbies…the whole point of this update to rank? You can make it 100 game barrier instead of 25. Wont matter. People want to play video games with their friends. All this change will do is change the account they play on and make lobbies wildy inconsistent because this unranked player is actually experienced in this game. That or make even more people stop playing this game…

As if the current player base could support that kind of restriction?

Why do you care about your csr to that degree? Like youre playing a video game. What are you gaining by having a low or high csr? Im genuinely curious why you care about an imaginary number that literally has zero ounce of influence on your life or actual experience? Its a really strange complex dude. You’re literally saying a games dynamic should be predicted on imaginary numbers and pointless ranks instead of the actual experience. Like you do realize you dont unlock anything by being high onyx? You literally get a helmet keychain for being onyx. Thats it. You rather people have to play by themselves so you can feel better about your rank? Like im sorry but that’s really your goal as an amateur video game player…? It seems like youve lost sight of the point of video games in the first place if youre worried about other peoples ranks. Like is that why you play halo?

So many games are going to be thrown and so many people are going to play on others accounts just to balance friend’s csr ranks. Seriously if yall were going to make this change, fine, I could understand it but to not replace it with anything else is inexcusable and short sighted.
The people that are going to complain the most are the ones that are abusing it and ruining the experience for everyone else by boosting to get illegitimate ranks.
There are plenty of Social slayer matches that start with BR you can still play that will not effect others ranks, (But clearly you only care about your own)
In you scenario if someone goes through all that trouble to try and rank low to play with their friends they will still level up quickly when they get there to their “Real” rank and be back where they are now. Doubt your teammates will be happy you are throwing matches in ranked.
Pretty much every competitive FPS Multiplayer game with ranks does something similar to this and in most cases is even stricter. ie Apex
Not to mention WHY can’t we have a CROSSPLAY disable toggle!! Seriously!? This would eliminate 95%of cheating or false accusations& more importantly the time spent to “investigate” each instance.
