I’m Diamond 2 going for Onyx. The fact that Infinite has only 1 ranked playlist and Halo 3 had 7 to 8 of them is inexcusable.
I’m fine without BR starts in social playlists (except for BTB which requires BR start options) but we need tons more ranked options!
I agree.
We need
Ranked slayer.
Ranked 2v2
Ranked FFA
Ranked swat
Spawns in ranked decide games more than skill.
The need to segregate objective and slayer as well, do away with the current truskill2 system…at least for objective game modes.
Walling is an issue - also called ESP. To fix, they need a massive overhaul of maps that would make walling way less beneficial. They can argue for their maps, and against cheaters all they want, but the end of the day - cheaters win on a free2play game. They can either adjust the maps to reduce impact, or people will simply wall to win. They’d do this by removing clutter. I play this game and get a headache from the amount of clutter on the map.
How and why you would allow custom colors in ranked is beyond me. For social; that’s alright…for ranked, red vs blue. They killed an iconic part of halo and turned it even more into COD. I personally don’t even consider this a halo game. It’s more like some mutant generic FPS game. It’s not halo though.
Others may disagree, but this game feels like it was catered towards ‘wouldn’t it be cool if…’
I don’t want cool. I want competitive games.
TL;DR - Dropped the game as an onyx player because it’s not worth. It won’t be worth, and is a cash grab.
Best comment I’ve read about this game is “343 should go make the game they want to make, because they clearly don’t want to make halo”.
I despise the player outlines. It ruins the aesthetic and acts as Promethean Vision without the need to recharge.
It also hurts customization when you spend all this money or grind for coatings and all of them look red no matter what. Yes I know you can change the outline color but the same problems exist.
Halo 3 had 7 to 8 after years of release. Not on day 1 or year 1. Nice rose-tinted glasses tho.
True. But LW TS and OBJ were ranked from release.
I agree. Halo 5 was 343s only true vision. If they freed themselves from the schakles of Halo they could create an amazing game
Agreed, could definitely use some more variety in the ranked playlists. I also hope they toss some in that don’t automatically rely on HCS settings.
Change it to purple. Since most of the maps are pretty dark, the purple blends im well that I never notice it unless i want to.
It had at least 5 at launch: Team Slayer, Team Objective, Team Doubles, Lone Wolves, Team Tactical and maybe Team Control.
Added BYB, Squad Battle, SWAT, Snipers MLG later.
Not only launching with but still having just 1.5 (they’re essentially the same) ranked playlists is lame. They need more and quick.
Halo 3 launched with 4-5, Infinite technically has 3. In the end H3 only had 6 permanent ranked playlists.
I agree though we should get more. I say abandon the Solo/Duo and have Crossplay full parties always on and just give us more playlists. I’d rather not have 1 playlist split 3 ways and have around 6 full playlists. My pick would be:
Team Arena 4v4
Team Tactical 4v4
FFA 6-8
Team Doubles 2v2
Breakout/Elimination 4v4
Squad Battle 6v6
Although I think Doubles and Elimination may benefit more from when we have more maps/forge.
