Ranked should not be HCS settings

Games Halo Infinite
21

I’m stating how halo 3 worked. I don’t mind higher base movement speed, and enjoy the tournament settings of the games.

Hcs is whatever is played in hcs. Which is good. Standard ranked is something the community would have to actually talk about together in a feedback thread. It is no surprise that throughout this games short life in the past few months I’ve seen a lot of veteran players walk away. Players that liked playing ranked, but hated playing it in halo infinite. So…we have to look at why. Right? These players supposedly like competitive…but…don’t like some of the competitive settings. How can they go on and on about their glory days of getting a rank 50 in slayer…but hate this game and not haven’t gotten that far?

I just laid all that out. Those players played default ranked. Not MLG. The population for MLG wasn’t ever that big. You can’t just cram and force people to like it. They won’t…and they’ll abandon the game…and they have…

Right now it’s a question of does any of this even matter? I took a break from the game because this game frustrates me way too much…the desync, lag, high ping, the ranking system and its loopholes… like bro I got on last night…decided to give it a try. Like in really close to just not playing halo anymore at this point.

Match 1 I win a buggy laggy match with blank back smacks all day…my team has diamonds and a Plat player. I’m playing alone. Enemy team has a 1600s player, diamonds and a gold. I get 0 for that win.

Match 2…mvp on scoreboard…high positive stats…a good game. Enemy team again…has a 1600s player and a gold with diamonds…I get 0…in a match that felt horrible…laggy…delayed deaths left and right…delayed weird from the grave kills…hardly any fun…no pay out…completely shutting a 1600s player and getting nothing out from it.

Imagine had I lost those 2 games tho right? I already don’t want to play this game again. Very close to just Uninstall it. Hardly any play lists for people that like competitive as well…like I want those you’re mentioning bro…but we’re to wait around like complete idiots for some stupid event in season 12 “duh derp hey guys! Get excited for the 2v2 event! Halo infinite will now have 2v2!”

I’m over it man.

Ok I hear you but give me Ideas of what settings would be changed because a higher base movement speed isn’t much to call for a whole nother playlist

It’s already laid out in halo 3 being the prime example of what worked. All mentions in my 1st reply. The best received halo, where as this 1 has the ability to surpass it but is failing on so many levels it shouldn’t.

Your battlepass has a level. Whether you like it or not, that is your progression and is literally no different than the pointless ranks in social lists in older Halo’s.

If you want a rank then play ranked. Why you think social should have a rank is beyond me.

I think you need to go back and read what was said in all my posts before you post.

The comments were all surrounding need/wanting more ranked playlists. There was a suggestion that there was not a need for an objective playlist as they can just play social for that, which is dumb.

Battlepaas progression isn’t great for play progression, most people want to see some sort of skill progression, not just constant XP gains for cosmetics. This isn’t Destiny, it’s Halo. Rank progression is important and has been in all halos with MP

There is definitely a need for more ranked playlists.

This. 20 characters.

Agreed.

@DeadCassette

I disagree ranked should have team objective. It does encourage more teamwork then just slayer. Swat doesn’t need to be ranked thats very much a social game type more than anything.

You’d think that if they were going for a hyper-competitive experience with only HCS available, they would not allow things like social bot matches to affect your allegedly hyper-competitive HCS ranked MMR.

But this is 343, so nah. Can’t have any common sense anything.
