I’d rather play Recon Slayer on Halo 3. And that was stress city just to get a rank for a sniper skin. I hate the maps, I hate the spawns, I hate that objective is forced in the damn rotation. To HELL with this rank system and the matchmaking. So close to Onyx yet I’ll get wall shooters and possible hackers or just as stated before, horrible spawns to the point I can’t walk without getting shot or beat down cause I phased through someone.

Ranked is fun IMO. Would be even more fun if there was a ladder for full teams on MnK input.

Yes a multiplayer with cheaters and snap shotters with inconsistent input across different platforms is fun…right.

i dont know how much of that ive ran into to be honest, snap shotters sure, alot of people are really freaking good at halo. maybe ive just gotten lucky but i havent seen any blatant cheating going on, not saying it doesnt exist.

Yes people are good in Halo, but not knowing EXACTLY where I am when I just spawned and barely moved and the ENTIRE team shoots at the same time? Nah sus as hell
you mentioned halo 3 earlier, im gonna assume you are a halo veteran right? thats been a thing in halo for as long as halo has existed. a good team with good communication and map control will do that. especially at the higher levels of play.
You won’t believe the amount of cheaters that have made it to Onyx and are still climbing.
i find rank fun, but at like diamond 4/5 I’ve hit a halt. and I’ve been putting up pretty good individual stats but I’ll get clueless teammates and quitters then derank hard. i’d play BTB but it’s so bad, played 1 match out of my 500 some games and i said NOPE.

High skilled players know where you going to respawn because most of the time they force it when they have map control.

That’s great and all, but prefiring before I come around a corner is not a sign of high skill…it’s Bs. Not to mention, THEY are the ones to get favorable spawns every, single, time. Especially near the objectives.
It wasn’t anything to do by me, not by a long shot, but I’ve played in teams where they have called that a player is heading to a certain window and to start shooting / throwing grenades in 3, 2, 1…
Yes but does that apply when I’m just SPAWNING?
Yep. It does. Watch some of Shyway’s breakdowns of play by guys such as Frosty or Shotzy. They know which spawns are blocked by team-mates and exactly when/where the enemy may spawn.
Good teams use this to their advantage.
343 will be collecting heat map data. They will have a pretty good idea which spawn spots are working and which ones aren’t. And the best way to fix them.
A lot of people I’ve spoken with in-game are having similar experiences. I’ve been stuck in Diamond 4/5 mostly due to quitters, teammates who don’t use a mic, teammates who don’t play the objective, and really weird matchups against opponents across a wide range of divisions. Ranked needs to be fixed asap.

Yea, it’s frustrating and too much of a grind tbh.

Doesn’t explain the prefiring and snapping when I never encountered anyone in a firefight yet.
Lol the amount of times ive seen this comment word for word you would think this is a copypasta

Ranked isn’t too bad. It does feel a little more thrilling since taking out motion trackers which I like. Only thing for me is if they add more ranked options but I’m sure more will come in the future as the game picks up more.
I can’t believe people haven’t had problems with lobbies not being full and it sucks especially when the enemy team starts using the advantage to rack up kills like I had happen in this match. They weren’t even focusing on the ball unless we had it and then it was an easy kill for them. I have pictures but way point won’t let me load them.
