I think it’s kind of fun, it’s not nearly as fun as some of the other gametypes though.
One of the biggest problems are Overshield and Camo is everywhere on the map. That’s literally how I play the mode. I watch drop pods fall all over the place from high ground and stock up on Power Ups every chance I get. I won last night several times purely because I held onto Power Ups for a majority of the matches. Whenever it got down to the final duel, I had an OS or Camo ready to crush the last player in my way.
Power Ups (or maybe even low ammo Power Weapons) need to spawn in specific locations that are highlighted so all players can compete for the reward. They also need to be more limited, that way every player can’t have a Power Up on standby at any moment.
LOL I will never play this mode outside of events. FFA is literally just who is most opportunistic. And since it’s last man standing, last remaining 4 is always 2 guys who clearly have good ping and 120+ fps, and 2 guys who are 2-5 hiding in corners. End is always just OS spam or camo spam. Long range manglers on this map - lol good thinking 343. Then whoever gets the commando or br first and just sees whoever first, easy kills. This mode makes me want to uninstall.
I went in expecting to dislike LSS but I honestly kind of like it now the more I played it this week.
It could use some tweaks though. A more diverse weapon loadouts or maybe a different approach to the upgrades but the biggest thing are the power up spawns.
Had a game where I won because I was constantly just bouncing around and picking up Cloaks/Overshields like nobody’s business. I used an Active Camo, grabbed an Overshield and popped that, then I picked up another Active Camo and when I located the last guy left I popped it to make sure I still had a fresh Active Camo when I approached him.
Poor man didn’t stand a chance.
It was nice to have a win but…343 needs to reconsider about the frequency of the power-ups at the very least
If they want to encourage the foraging aspect… make pick ups more frequent, but smaller.
Only have one grenade on each spot.
Make it so you have to find and pick up ammo for upgraded guns. Eg. When you upgrade to shotgun have few bullets - unless you found ammo earlier in the game.
Make OS only 5 seconds to start with. But if you find another one the time is added to the one you have - so now you have one OS but it’s 10 seconds. Find a third and you have one 15 second OS to use. ie. You can only ever carry one OS but you can extend it’s power.
Have lots of single shot grapples or single use repulsors. If you want to more you have to find them.
it’s fine- ish, i don’t like Battle royale style games in general so biasness but thought i would still give it a shot. My issue is with the sweats lol. Tried doing the universal tbag to show friendliness but everyone’s too try hard in this mode lol. Then again the whole game is a sweat fest geez.
I’ll admit: I get tilted pretty quickly at this mode, but when I’m not fuming, I’m having a lot of fun. I’ll be playing it actively until I clear my rewards track, and then maybe I’ll play it again.
Dont like LSS at all. Tried it only once, left the match after a few minutes. Not going to play LSS again. Its sad, im missing all event rewards.
I rather miss the event rewards as to play a gamemode that i dont like at all.
LSS is a terrible type of match. The principle of Battle Royal has already got everyone. BR is everywhere. Only the lazy did not make a game in the style of BR. Players are already sick of BR. And the developers think: we will make a BR game / mode in the BR game and it will become super popular like Fortnite. And 343 thought the same. They thought it would bring the players back. Maybe it will come back at the beginning, and then they will leave again, because those old attention problems have not gone away. How long will a player’s nerves last in LSS if match selection is lame, out of sync, hits are not registered, PC cheaters (this platform generally needs to be separated from everyone else, because these are the meanest players in terms of cheats)? Personally, 2 matches were enough for me.
Just finished the final LSS challenge for this week.
Will never play this mode again if I can avoid it (i.e. unless they once again lock a weekly reward behind nonsensical LSS challenges).
number one, LSS isnt a battle royale* its a different standalone game mode. desync, cheaters, and etc are a completely different subject. actually your whole reply is off subject. i for one have never encountered a cheater, and desync twice. after i hard reset my router and xbox, reinstalled halo infinite i never had the issue of DESYNC again. but ill accept anyones opinion, sorry for my rudeness. i love halo, and infinite will get to where it needs to be. i firmly believe this.
Game mode built on the principle of BR. Who cares??? BR is always BR. The principle is the same. Idiotic, which bothered the majority. Because BR is added everywhere, soon BR will be added to the firmware of the smartphone and at the end of the day we will have only one application left.
