Impossible to stay alive in slayer?

I don’t really know what it is, but i feel like it’s extremely difficult in this game to get more than 1 or 2 kills in a life. I get cleaned up as soon as I get a kill and it feels sort of cheap. Any way to stop this? Anybody else having this problem or is it just me?

Well, if the other team is actually playing as a TEAM then this is normal.

I get that, but its EVERY game even against comeplete randoms. I feel the motion sensor/ promethean vision is too powerful.

It has nothing to do with the motion sensor. Sure, Promethean Vision might help them find you, but ultimately it’s this terrible idea of Instant Respawn.

With instant respawn, players will spawn before your shields have a chance to reload.

Sounds like the enemy team was working together, how is that a bad thing?

Exactly! I hope they implement an MLG or another playlist of some sort with no instant respawns

I’d say it is just you, or very bad luck/timing. The first game I played I got a kill frenzy, and got a running riot today. Sprees are still attainable easily.

honestly it feels like our shields go down too easily.

I went +18, and +11 in my first two games. I was playing as a team kind of, my friend was on my team and we stuck together, but our other teammates were randoms with no mics. Infinity Slayer btw.

I nearly got a perfection and a rampage on my forth match or so, which was infinity slayer on complex. Too bad someone had to throw a random grenade, but it definitively is possible to stay alive for a while.

The most i had was a running riot my second game but I dont think i could do it again, It might be because im playing solo but i still don’t like instant respawns.

try not running in to a firefight with 2 people. keep your distance, but hold your ground. that’s really the only advice I can give. the rest comes down to personal skill

I played 3 campaign levels before getting into War Games. I had the DMR and TP unlocked right away. I then quickly got a 2nd loadout and made a JP one, both currently have Shield Tac. Only level 8.5 right now.

Having said that, I’ve had 2 BTB and 1 regular IS game and 1 Slayer Pro. I guess I will have to wait and see because so far I have been the predator and nothing like the prey. Slayer Pro definitely needs some TS love.

Its probably because your shields take ages to return.

I personaly think that the recharge time is way to long, even in campaign I’m hiding in cover for 5 minute waiting to return fire.

Team work is the key, back each other up and pair up, thats what I do I stick with teammates but I don’t see your problem, I’m a casual gamer having a bit of fun and I go around gun ho! And get double kill and triple kill glore along with killing sprees

I’ve noticed this too and its due to multiple reasons:

  1. Instant respawns was a bad idea.
  2. Promethean vision is basically a wall hack and will only get worse when people unlock the nemesis mod.
  3. Shields take awhile to recharge.

I’ve found that you really have to stick with your teammates to stay alive. I kind of like it because it forces you to play as a team.

instant respawn + haven

I find this game really easy for some reason. On my first game I got 32-6 and my first life I got a killing spree. On Reach I normally get 20-18. Ha maybe we were playing against each other lol.

I agree that instant respawn is a joke but apart from that its not so bad. I did have a guy I kill spawn next to me and kill me before I even had shields earlier. But that works the opposite way. I often spawn right in the line of fire of a banshee on Ragnarok.

But staying alive isn’t too difficult, I’ve managed a rampage and 2 running riots as well as a killtacular so far. Still waiting for a perfection though.
