I don’t think 343 should have to fix your choice of preference.

then what about the Aim Assist fight between KBM players vs Controler players on some threads since thats more a discusion war on that type threads between the 2 groups about aim assist.

then you have few month’s ago the crossplay discusion fights war between the PC communety and xbox console communety.

then we got the old school vs new school way for halo discusion war.

i can make the list long but lets keep it with this 3 topic’s that at some point has become a discusion war fight more between 2 communety’s.
and who knows there are all new threads war’s that have been going on.

No, that’s a terrible idea. What kind of game developer would explicitly communicate a preference for players on a certain type of gaming machine?

27

The best player in Fiesta, Bigteam, etc. is always a PC player. Their KDA is a minimum of +15. In 4v4, if there are more than one PC players on one team, the score is so skewed that the bots end up finishing the game. I have never finished a game with the a full team against a group of PC players because the score is so skewed. Playing on PC allows for faster movement, consistent one shot kills, upgraded pistol/commando/hydra/hammer, and partial immunity to skewers (you can literally walk around with a skewer in your helmet).

343 already has by forcing crossplay. PC has such a massive advantage nearly across every metric - weapons, mobility, etc. And if mods are being used, then it’s absurd. If it wasn’t for bots, most of the crossplay matches would never finish.

People still believe this? I wish 343 had the input icon next to the gamertags, or have they added that? I don’t know, I haven’t played this trash in about 9 months but I can guarantee you, you’re hardly playing against a KBM player.

They will have a handicap when 343 finally optimizes infinite and PCs start consistently getting 240+ fps while consoles are still capped at 120. Legit feel bad for anyone on a base Xbox one at 30 fps, literally ain’t fair for you guys. Absolute night and day having that fps increase.

32

Allowing one type of machine to matchmake with a different type =/ expressing a preference for one or the other. Entirely different ballgame compared to “‘put one team in the lead automatically.”

As a matter of fact, how would you even enforce that? Would your team have to have more PC players than the enemy team in order to get the points? Is it based on which team gets a PC player first? Would there be some way to prevent teams from matchmaking with sandbag PC alts? What would the logistics on something like this even look like?

Fair points. I did not quite understand everything you said. I would start in small increments. Using 4v4, every +1 PC player would give the opposing team +5. For experienced players this won’t be fair as the handicap would be low but for new players and PC players running potatoes, +5 would be reasonable.

36

Why did you have to handicap anyone.

Surely TrueSkill has already done it.

Your MMR is all you need.

Playing on PC boost your KDA +10-20. It’s hard to nail down the exact amount as players drop out when PC players are in the game so the bots give the PC guys even more easy kills.

38

No handicaps and no advantages. Just fix aiming on controller and Xbox…

Simple.

39

here is something else more simple.

chance the crossplatform system from force to a option and add the cross input system in it also then you fix a lot off problems at once.

Do both if you must. But improving experience for both groups is more important than just separating them

41

but there is a limit you can do by inproving that it stops at some point and you need to deal with the separating options and deal with it.
since we all know really good that the idea to let console players play the same match’s with the PC players got the worst start and also the worst reputation there is that there is more hate about the idea more since its only done more bad things then good things.

I’m still a Halo fan, but 343 killed it and it feels kind of personal. There’s a reason why a Halo fan, like myself, hasn’t played in almost a year. 343 needs to think about that.
