Does anyone else hate what they’ve done to the infinity slayer playlist? the addition of slayer pro and these new awful maps to the infinity slayer playlist has ruined the game for me and there are a lot of reasons why.
First off it took the variety out of the gameplay. I like having multiple different loadouts with different types of weapons. Its fun to switch it up and go from machine gun/ jet-pack one life to suppressor/hard-light shield to dmr/invisibility etc. all in one match. But now were stuck with no armor abilities and only four weapons of which everyone chooses the dmr because its so easy. 3 or 4 shots to the head and its a kill so now there are 8 people running around doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over. i think you get my point.I mean why would you take the most played 4v4 playlist and limit it to just 4 weapons, all of which of the same ilk (range). you play for hours to level up so you can buy all the weapons but now you can’t even use them.
Second slayer pro has completely ruined my style of play. I’m a lone wolf type of player but you can’t succeed that way in slayer pro because in every game i play it seems at least 3 or all 4 of the other team run together in a pack so you round a corner and boom boom they all hit you with a dmr and your dead in less than a second so you can’t even react. and yes people roll deep in infinity slayer as well but with armor abilities and plasma’s you can even the playing field if your skilled and get plenty of double and triple kills. Since the addition slayer pro my scores haven’t changed much too much but i don’t get many double or triple kills at all now.
Third the addition of slayer pro has completely ruined the game for people who are sub par with the ranged weapons. I’ll admit that I’m better with the automatics and prefer them over ranged weapons but I’m good with the ranged weapons as well and would use them at least every other round in infinity slayer for the variety. I have a friend though who is just awful with the ranged weapons but good with combining automatics with grenades and armor abilities. He doesn’t even want to play the game at all anymore because he’ll have 2 or 3 kills with 15 to 20 deaths when he used to average about 10 and 10 a round, granted that’s not great but at least he could have fun, now he just gets pissed because the game is ruined for him.
Adding slayer pro wouldn’t be a big deal if they were used sparingly, say make in an option 1 out of every 5 rounds or hell even 2. But the way it is now 8 out of 10 matches i play are slayer pro because it’s all anyone wants to pick. If slayer pro is your thing that’s fine but i think it should be its own playlist because for the casual gamer like myself its just no fun.
Also these awful new maps need to be addressed. With the exception of the map thats a remake of one from either halo 3 or reach (m not sure which) all of the new maps are basically the same. They’re some sort of boxed in area and they’re all man made structures. They’re so lazily designed and it’s so out of character for the rest of the game. the original maps are mostly all are wonderful combinations of man made structures and environment. There’s variety in every one of those maps but no matter where you are in the new ones your surroundings look almost exactly the same. And for some reason those maps are the majority of the ones you can vote for. I’d say 7 out of 10. If i get a game on adrift, solace, or abandon i’d consider myself lucky but odds are even if i get a game on those maps it’s slayer pro so it still sucks.
All in all matchmaking is ruined for me and if it isn’t fixed i don’t see myself playing much longer and it’s really a shame because i’ve adored this game ever since i got it. The campaign is fantastic and up until they ruined it the matchmaking was very balanced and nuanced, it set itself a cut above every other shooter in my opinion but now it’s just as bland, boring, and intentionally dumbed down as the call of duty franchise which is a real shame. I really hope they realize how much it’s ruined the game and they fix it soon

This quote. This made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Adding slayer Pro was one of the best moves so far to fix the caos from Infinity Slayer, It’s hard to believe that some people like such randomness and unfairness from infinity…

This. And then again at several other points.
Slayer pro ruins things = a big lie.
Being a lone wolf in any team game is a bad idea, especially against a team that sticks together, there’s safety in numbers.
i get that people like slayer pro and it has its place in the game but it should be its own playlist. i’m a casual gamer. i like variety. i do well in slayer pro but in what way is it fun to do the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. at certain point its just -Yoink-, we get it you have accuracy in a video game and can shoot someone in the head but i don’t understand how thats still fun after doing it 1,000 times.
yea theres saftey in numbers but theres no challenge in that. when my friends and i roll 4 deep we’ll win 600 to like 200, thats just not fun
“matchmaking got a reminder of Halo 3”
“OMG ITS RUINED! NOW I CAN’T GO A CAMP WITH ACTIVE CAMO!”
> yea theres saftey in numbers but theres no challenge in that. when my friends and i roll 4 deep we’ll win 600 to like 200, thats just not fun
Handicapping yourself because you find it fun is completely fine. Just don’t do it and then complain when other people win.
> yea theres saftey in numbers but theres no challenge in that. when my friends and i roll 4 deep we’ll win 600 to like 200, thats just not fun
I take the win any day, but teams sticking together is good, I hate playing team slayer and a team member runs off like rambo only to be handed his/her -Yoink-.
the fun of infinity slayer was in the chaos. Sticking a guy with a plasma, turning and unloading with a machine gun and ending with a melee and quickly pulling out the pistol and finish off another guy for a triple kill. That’s fun because it’s hard. for me slayer pro is too easy, too repetitive, and takes away far too many of the features that made the game unique. At this point there is so little difference between halo and cod it’s really disgusting. Halo was something special because it was unique and had character. Now it’s the same as everything else.
i don’t get why you guys don’t want to challenge yourself. Why would you want a game to be so easy?

There’s been issues with Halo 4 since launch, there’s nothing new there to be honest, from what I gather it’s improving to be more like other Halo games, we all see and play things differently.
and the reason i prefer lone wolf is because if i’m paying attention to which way my teammates are going i don’t pay enough attention to where the enemy is and i find i move around the map slower. I like to move and groups always post up somewhere and camp

Infinity slayer being hard? What the…
Then I most be super cometitive, I get way higher/better stats on that random mess than on balanced gametypes and playlists.
exactly we all have different play styles. i do agree slayer pro has it’s place and is fun from time to time but that’s why it should be its own playlist because players like me lost what made the game fun for us for the sake of others who want the game to be easier. i just think their should be seperate playlists because to each his own and that way everyone could play whichever they want and there’d be no reason to complain. i payed 60 dollars for this game in december and now 5 months later that money went to waste for me because what i loved about the game has been taken away
i mean combining kills artfully is more difficult in infinity slayer. slayer pro its pop pop pop pop pop with one gun. In infinty slayer you had to combine kills. it’s the lack of variety that bothers me. They’re equally easy to me, it’s just after doing the same thing 1,000 times in slayer pro its now REALLY easy
Op I will trade places with you if all you get is is pro, all I ever get anymore is infinity…
Adding pro was the best thing they could have done, gets rid of the random game play of infinity.

I don’t know what you mean, this game is very easy, it should be made a lot harder.
