> > Ok. So, Legendary Slayer, what the hell? I mean seriously. Who honestly thought that this playlist was good to go. It’s a complete joke. Especially when you’re put with complete an utter morons like I seem to be put with every game which only succeeds in making the playlist even worse. I get they have made this so it resembles old classic Halo, which it does do quite well in some aspects, but overall, the playlist as it is is really poor.

Abandoned and Adrift are just about bearable but they promote fairly heavy camping at times. Which is sad in a Halo game. If the enemy team get control of the power and precision weapons there is pretty much no way you can fight back. This happens to me a lot because of the complete penguins that are my teammates which I get put with. It needs to go to BR starts and fast. I feel this will solve a lot of the problems with this playlist.

And the Halo 4 AR with Weapon Tuning has extremely underrated accuracy and stopping power at medium range. Firing in 3-4 bursts of 4-5 will drop your enemy before he get’s his 4th BR burst out. It takes a lot of practice to pull off, but if you do, the AR is an unbelievably flexible weapon, especially compared to the laughable iterations of it in Halo CE, 3, and Reach.</mark>

> > <mark>Not to mention, there are more than enough precision weapons and Magnums littering the map. Haven has 2 BRs, 2 Magnums, and a Carbine within walking distance of any Spawn point on the map. With very fast respawns. Solace has a BR in each base, and 2 Carbines near the right and left doors of each base. And there are likely some other ones I don’t know about yet. But as I said above, if you actually take the time to learn how to use the AR, instead of dismissing it, you can actually cross map someone from Concussion Spawn on Solace in a matter of seconds. The thing has incredible accuracy and stopping power.</mark>

I’ve noticed a running theme of unpracticed players sucking really, really bad with the AR. While in games where the BR is dominant, who wins and loses almost always falls to whoever shot first. Which is not a contest of skill at all. I’d hate to say it, but Halo 4 broke off from the norm this way.

> Adrift has very long, straight, narrow passageways. The AR would actually have a legitimate disadvantage against the Sniper on that map because of the simple lack of cover in a lot of lenthy straight hallways on the map. In BR starts maybe it would work. But in AR starts, the Laser is a great substitute. Besides, there aren’t enough Lasers in the game as it stands. It’s by far the slowest UNSC commendatioo to unlock. I don’t mind the Rockets on Haven either, there are a lot of ways to get height advantage on someone with Rockets, due to Haven’s theme of having elevated platforms and ramps over a relatively flat surface. Being in the air long enough for your AR to kill the Rocket guy is really easy to do.
I can understand your point with the Spartan Lasers on Adrift. It’s just at times they feel so out of place on that map. I have no problem with the Rockets on Haven. However they do need their ammo count reduced down to 2. 6 is far too much.
> - Playlist settings. Shield recharge rate seems to be awfully long (this might be just me). Sprint should’ve never been put in. Another unbelievably stupid choice. Movement speed should’ve been 110% or 115% so sprint was not needed. JIP is still inconsistent and stupid at times. It doesn’t really seem to resolve the issue of quitters enough. Might as well just not have it in at all. It’s pretty useless.
I’d like JiP to disappear, but only if quitting is a serious punishment. If you quit a game, you should not be able to rejoin matchmaking until the duration of that game is over, otherwise it should just rejoin you into the match you just left.

I agree with your JIP solution fully.
The AR at times is random. I’m not really sure what to make of it. Sometimes it kills and other times it doesn’t. Feels like it bases itself off of randomness and luck too much. I think the BR could do with a slight reduction in aim assist. It is very easy to kill with that weapon. Especially if you’re host.I don’t want AR starts to be completely replaced with BR starts. But there needs to be tweaks done to it to make the playlist less broken.
Definitely not enough precision weapons on the maps. There is so much unused space where they could have placed more and the respawn rate isn’t fast from what I can tell.
“But as I said above, if you actually take the time to learn how to use the AR, instead of dismissing it, you can actually cross map someone from Concussion Spawn on Solace in a matter of seconds. The thing has incredible accuracy and stopping power.”
Do you not think that’s pretty stupid? Cross map someone with a weapon that is meant to be for close range battles.
Also you must be playing against some pretty poor players if they can’t kill you with weapons such as the BR, CC or Sniper when you’re using your AR. If I had either of those three weapons and you had your AR you would more than likely lose 8 times out of 10. All it takes is good shots and smart positioning and there’s literally nothing you could do. You’d be dead before you could get within a decent enough range to kill me quick enough.
“If you’re getting paired with morons, maybe you should wait until your friends are online to play team games. EVERY team playlist has the potential to match you up with idiots. When you’re alone, maybe you should stick to Rumble Pit, Regicide, and Flood.”
I lost most of my friends to that POS known as COD. One of the many reason why I hate that game so much. They used to all be avid Halo fans. But then that God awful monstrosity came out and showed them how to be skilless and do well which they took to nicely. God I hate that game LOL!
