Every team I’m on is full of noobs using the SMG and sprinting. Why sprint unless you need to? Same thing with Swat. You would think some people would get it when I’m getting double kills with the pistol but many people run and and die repeatedly with the SMG.
Because it’s looser skill matching with social and it gives out more XP. I don’t really care though since it’s not a playlist that I take seriously.

I get that but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the SMG isn’t very effective in ODST slayer.
Have you checked their SR levels? Any indication of their experience there?
Also, as of this writing, your two latest posts are placed at the top of the thread list, and are spectacularly juxtaposed:
- “Is Halo 5 More Competitive Than it Used to be?”
- “ODST Slayer: What’s with all the noobs?”

It could be related to why they have a low skill level, but people can play how they wanna play.

I know it’s social but I can’t help but wonder how they are having fun. It’s like the people playing aren’t even trying to do better.

A lot of them are lower levels.
Play it with a friend you know like that playlist. I do that in husky and It don’t feel that bad having teammates that kill between 0-5 all game (and never go for the flag).
The SMG has its use in close quarters and sometimes you just want to get that feet first vibe from ODST. Instant gib is disabled so sprinting isn’t that detrimental like it is in SWAT, but running headlong into an open space happens across all playlists. I’m Onyx in SWAT and I still see players going 1/16 KD. There will always be noobs, and hopefully we are strong enough to carry them 
.
SMG has its uses in ODST Slayer. It’s one of the few playlists which isn’t a pistol-fest after the weapon tunings, something I’m glad to see.
I’ll use the SMG every so often because I don’t have the commendation for it yet. It’s one of the easiest playlists to get SMG kills in.
Probably because the matchmaking freaks out because there are so many smurfs who are SR 10 and clean up games with 20+ kills and lots of players SR100+ and really struggle against them so it probably thinks these noobs are god tier players.

I’m trying to finish the Brute Plasma Rifle commendation in ODST while it’s up. To me, it’s the only playlist where that PoC is even remotely viable as a weapon.

Wow, this is good intel, I should get on to do this. How long is it taking you to do the plasma rifle commendations?
Unfortunately, ODST slayer has been taken down. Too bad as it was my favorite Halo 5 playlist. I’m focusing on the Reach flights this week anyway.
I don’t know about sprinting, I typically avoid it; but the SMG melts people in ODST slayer within the right distances. No matter how great your aim with a magnum is, the hail of bullets from that thing in close quarters is harrowing and less aim effort is involved, so naturally n00bs would gravitate towards using it all the time and the more experienced players probably use it in tight spaces or to avoid magnum reloads, while getting that ODST feel.

ODSTs gone, but you can still get some good work done in Super Fiesta if you get your hands on one of the higher level ones (The Scale of Sorpitat kicks butt)

Most people haven’t played the Bungie games because they are too young or got into Halo very late. That’s why they play it like they play their regular social Halo 5 arena games (which, by the way, is not that smart either). I get people running into the center of the map all the time, only to get slaughtered and maybe earn one kill. It’s just dumb.
