Not everyone likes big team, it’s a superficial argument and I’ve been intentionally obtuse for that reason.
Players are “FORCED” to play a myriad of social playlists every week. It’s been ranked once.
I’d like to see it be a combination of both more frequently because I think ranked players could find enjoyment in social playlists as mucha s social player can find fun in ranked.
I have had 1 “play 2 games of big team battle challenges” and 5 related to ranked. If everyone is complaining about it clearly biased one way
I don’t mind big team i kinda prefer it being an avid halo vehicle fan, but my problem is the netcode…
This week is ranked only, it’s a one off because of HCS Rayleigh.
Usually there are Control, Stockpile and Big Team challenges. There were also a bunch of FFA, SWAT and Fiesta challenges. I’m just saying I like people being coerced into trying something different, myself included.
It’s my most played playlist regardless of what people’s opinion of me might be from this topic alone.
Not being able to play it this week has been upsetting.
At least social games don’t impact your rank. Ranked challenges have a knock on effect to your rank and your team’s rank.
Wait wait wait what did you say?
As I said before “trying” a new or different game mode is not comparable to a competitive playlist. One is casual full of different player styles, and one is full of opponents trying to get to HCS next year when I just want to level up lmao.
That’s why it’s matched based on skill… By playing ranked these players aren’t sabotaging anyone, they’re balancing the teams.
If you’re the worst player on your team, it isn’t just you letting the team down. Your teammates are better than the enemy team and they were supposed to carry you. That’s how the system works. It’s their fault if they don’t know how to support the players on their team that need it. It’s a team game first and foremost.
I’ve played 144 matches off Big Team compared to 138 matches of ranked.
It’s close but I am a lover of both casual and ranked Halo which is why Infinite is shaping to be my favourite Halo of all time. It does both splendidly.
Good god, how?? Big Team Battle barely even works right now
Yeah I’ve searched a bunch and literally only been able to play one game of BTB this week. I’ve been playing mostly that in the weekdays because I like to relax on an evening after work. I finish work and look after my baby, then when he sleeps I play for a bit. Big team is good as I’m usually pretty tired and I also have dogs so I can split my focus with them when I play as I am a super relaxed BTB player anyway.
So this week has been ranked only. I usually only play ranked on weekends when I have a couple of hours uninterrupted to warm up and focus on the games.
I love SWAT but I need it to be ranked.
Honestly, I have never in my life felt so pressured by ingame challenge system as I have with infinite.
Having ingame customization, which is extremely limited to begin with unless you fork 20 dollars weekly for couple set pieces, be behind challenge system that is absolutely brutal at times.
I have been trying to get ‘Destroy 2 enemy Warthogs’ challenge done, sounds easy enough to but it takes time for them to spawn, then be able to destroy it with driver inside without killing them first accidentally.
I just am not enjoying the game the way 343 was promising, it is just a grind and hope you get what you need. It is frustrating
edit: I forgot to add that I have played around 15 BtB games trying to do the said challenge. Imagine when player doesnt have much time to play at the time. Good luck to them is all anyone can say
Yeah man it really sucks not having possible challenges on the side or at least more than those annoying ones like you mentioned. I prefer the way MCC did it where you would get challenges like “Play x game mode” “win a game” and then hav seasonal or these rare weekly ones that give a bit more xp that are like the ones you mentioned. I always knew I could skip those and still feel like I get good xp.
The way my challenges are looking I have at least 5-10 levels with double xp on I won’t get cuz no way I can win 5 ranked matches or do I wanna even try and just do bad for my team.
