Jan 26 - Ranked Playlist Update

I don’t agree with everything said here, but pre-game lobbies!! This is the heart of online gaming and getting your team on the same page for objectives and ranked matches. They are the social aspect. Solo players will quite playing with lout meeting people to play with. The audio lobby should be open before the match and stay open after the match until you leave it.

I dont get this, i love this map its def not the worst map there is, and to me its not bad for ranked its more the players than the mode… i absolutly despise launch site. worse map than behemoth will ever be.

Please explain to us all why there’s STILL ONE SINGLE RANKED MODE to play in 6 years of development ? There’s no possible way it can be that difficult to add ranked doubles and ranked ffa to the game modes. Simply killing the game with 1 single game mode to play. No one wants to play pistol and at starts in social playlists.

Thank you very much for this change and I look forward to future changes as well.

343 - ranked play has always been the biggest challenge in past halos and brought people from far and wide.

343 - Hardcore/MLG/HCS was only enjoyed by the few in past halos.

343 - bring back Halo with a proper line up of Ranked Halo playlists and cut out this very bad and boring iteration of HCS you have in the game.

I don’t play this anymore due to lag from the UK and cheating…,., and the LACK of objective playlists only.

However, can’t believe you guys have removed a great map and a capture the flag variant,

The more you pander to so called Pros…, the more you will continue to lose the bulk of your main players who want to enjoy Halo.

Well done continuing with the awful decisions that go well beyond bad progression, ranking. servers, cheating etc etc

It’s definitely an excellent casual map (maybe not for CTF cause spawns). My friends love playing it from time to time because the other maps are so cramped up.

I play ranked pretty often, and don’t know anyone who liked Behemoth CTF in that playlist as is. Usually lots of groans and complaints over the comms when the map comes up in rotation.

My experience is the opposite. All relative

What I enjoy about the map is;

the battles for over shield

the ability to be able to stop people taking the flag from anywhere on your side of the map.

the challenge of having to use your comms to wipe and extract.

the little lift to reach their base from top mid.

sniping on the map - You can be on defence and offence at the same time.

I don’t think people like it cause I reckon they either don’t use their mics or it’s different to the other arena small maps. I don’t think they understand it. Well a lot of people anyway. Which causes it to have a huge skill gap.

It’s also not very forgiving as when you mess up it usually ends in a capture. Unless you have an epic battle down below.

I thought you weren’t playing anymore. Are people excited over the comms when Behomoth CTF appears in ranked, when you do play?

Not sure why you are being sarcastic. When I played with friends they liked this map, as did I. While another friend on apex right now told me about these changes. So I went to the forum to give my views to a game i used to love since Halo 1

This doesn’t sound like ranked slayer or ranked swat…

Those maps worked because Halo 3 had purely projectile based weapons, including the BR (good), and random spread (bad, but I’d argue not as bad as the bloom on the sidekick, commando, and headshot capable AR), which greatly mitigated the oppresiveness of the BR, and weapons in general, at range. Compared to the laser-beam you spawn with in Halo Infinite ranked, and the handful of laser-beams you can find on weapon racks.

That wasn’t meant to be sarcasm – I’m genuinely trying to understand where you were hearing people loving ranked Behemoth. If you were only hearing that amongst friends, I can see how the removal would be disappointing. My point was that when solo-queuing, everyone I’ve matched with doesn’t like playing it when it appears in rotation – and as far as I’m aware no one I’ve matched with are pros.

By data you mean what everyone was saying after their first game of this god awful map.

Press X to doubt.

You keep using these words. I don’t think they mean what you think they mean.

Or you could, you know, test it… or since that’s clearly too much effort for you guys, just read your own forums.

Thank God you fools FINALLY recognize your spawns are completely poop! Here is an idea…

DON’T LET US SPAWN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ENEMIES!!!

Brilliant comment. Amazing what developers could figure out if they just listened to the constructive criticisms on their own dang site.

Has 343 EVER even acknowledge the lack of server stability?

To be fair, its a miracle the thing even connects at all.

Pandering to pros? It’s practically unanimous at this point that it’s by far the worst competitive game type in Halo, and it’s the only map I’ve played where people see the mode and quit because they’d rather lose points than play the game out. Ranked should always model HCS, otherwise why bother? If that’s too much for you to handle play any of the others.
