For the love of all things holy learn how to play this game.

In the rare occurrence of people actually caring about objective due to the ridiculous challenges people are simultaneously trying to complete, I get Tweedledee, Tweedledum and Tweddledumber every time.

I know clueless, angry people have been shouting at one another, “where were you?” and “why aren’t you here?”, but one of two things are happening here:

  1. The shouty person actually means why are you not looking in this general direction or why are you not looking at your team flanks or why are you running away from the objective but has less time to say one of the above.

  2. The shouty person is lacking game tactics.

Because, it is not your job to aimlessly follow people around, 1inch away from their gluteus maximus like a four man human centipede, you are allowed to spread out, just learn to adjust when you hear action elsewhere and use tactics fast.

I’m tired of being forced to play strongholds and to clear out a base on my own to begin capturing for three of my team to sprint over to ‘help’ me capture it.
It takes a blink of an eye to capture it myself thanks, I’ve just killed four people, they’re all on respawn, there’s 2 other enemy strongholds sitting empty and you’re all here - why? Now they’re spawning, 2 are each going to the other 2 strongholds, well done.

I’m tired of being forced to play CTF, clearing the base out, getting the flag 90% of the way for my team to turn up last 10ft to steal the flag from me mid-juggle instead of keeping watch from distance and prepping for next flag.

Oddball is the only gametype where sticking with your ball-guy is acceptable and you mothers can’t wait to sprint away to the other side of the map then. When I’m holding the ball I feel like a lion and my team are like gazelles kicking sand to get away.

I’m not the greatest player at all but sometimes I feel like having eyeballs is just for show for everyone else and I’m the only one who’s had them wired up properly.

I’ve just started leaving games now when this all happens because it’s painful to play so when you’re here saying why leave, you’re probably the reason!

Funny replies only please

Guilty as charged, I was the Spartan running around the map looking at the Decor and just exploring, the maps are so visually stunning. I will participate better tonight I promise!

You evil [word that can’t be used here] !!!

I enjoy it when we have 2 zones and someone decides to take the 3rd. No you idiot - that messes up the spawn system. They can keep A or C on pretty much every map so they are stuck spawning near their zone and largely removes the element of surprise/flanks - B is almost always the most important and A or C can feasibly support B.

My odd ball carrier always runs away from me. Like you idiot, how am I supposed to protect you in a 3v4, they have more guns. No running in the open is stupid. Stay put, force them through choke points, most enemies are too dumb to not zerg anyway unless you are playing group or diamond+ (even that is iffy it appears but I don’t get high onyx players). Bail when you need to.

CTF has someone defending in the back most of the time. It’s nice having someone protect the back door flag steal - but now it’s a 3v4 everywhere else. We will die in the 3v4 in middle of map, those 1-4 enemies left will come and slaughter the 1 dude (who thanks to the rank system is really just boosting his rank and kd as he picks off dummies who run straight to flag). Then you complain when you die 3v1 at flag lol. Most games end 1-0 or a tie when we could likely win more often if you would just help in other spots.

Wait are you saying that if we play the objective we have a high chance of winning??? /s I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time!

I’m being 100% serious about people’s gameplay but trying to educate them in an entertaining way, without ranting and getting banned again.

It’s free, but this game is 20 years old and the basic tactics haven’t changed much. I know it’s attracted new players but H5 was the same, MCC was the same.

Being free is not the reason. The reason is unwired eyeballs, I’m telling you!

I kid you not! Facts!

some people just want to explore and mess around. i mean… it’s called ‘quick play’ for a reason, ya know, social. not competitive. they can look around and mess around all they please. and heck, even if the visuals and graphics fidelity is similar to h5. it’s still pleasing to the eye. heck i do like looking at wall textures, seeing how rough and non complete. or even smooth they are. like i could run my hand across it and feel it despite it not being real

Explore? Custom game!

Who said I’m only talking about social?

Edit - I have to add this - you seriously think you’re in the right for going around stroking walls and looking at stars during a MP game, get out of halo and shut the door behind you. Get in a custom and carry out your thrills there, then come into a MP game. What has halo become :joy:

BRUH, it’s called ‘social’ for a reason. stop treating this like you HAVE to start a custom games and -Yoink!- off elsewhere. like you HAVE to play the game the way you want others to play. if people want to look at the map in the middle of the game, let them. god, you’re THAT person. probably would get pissy if ya started a game of TF2.

is a custom games a good idea? yeah, i’m not denying that. but if someone wants to do it in the middle of a match, then let them. again, SOCIAL not Competitive. know the difference. be glad people ain’t doing it in RANKED

Meh. I’ll play and have fun however I want, especially when 343 designed it such that success is rarely dependent on actually winning.

Puppies have more fun than whiney old b’s

You’re really showing your level of intelligence.

Did you miss the ‘who said I’m talking about social’ bit?

okay fair, i missed that part. low and behold re-reading stuff is actually important. my bad dude

at least it ain’t reddit… or a IGN playthrough

I have never played objective gametypes in Halo, or even really worked on my Rank (besides in Swat in H5, where I was Onyx), so I historically have outclassed just about everyone in every match I ever played in social slayer and BTB. I have never had to worry about spawns or 2v1s because I was never worried about handling 3-4 enemies on my own.
Now that the only way to get anything worthwhile is to play ranked objective, I have been thrown in the deep end.

And after 14 years of playing Halo… this stuff is super easy and I’m not sure why everyone is having such a difficult time figuring it out. I’m a Diamond 3-4 and it’s effectively my first time ever playing. I don’t think it’s people’s eyes that aren’t wired up right, it’s their brains.

I will say though, there is a time to cap the third stronghold, and that is when you respawn there.

What about those team mates than vanish into thin air when loading into a ranked game?
They become nothing but a falling BR and some frag’s. And you just know that the following 15 minute CTF game is going to be extra sweaty. RIP your CSR rating…

1.Challenges, everyone wants to do them 2.no seperate play list, Can’t capture the flag on slayer or strongholds… 3. disconnnects, Sometimes the game really doesn’t like poeple or something and their game crashes…

Agreed, and the third stronghold cap - yes rotating that map in line with the spawns otherwise you’ll just be dying on way to other side of the map.
