Aah yes.
i343 has been hard at work fixing the things like Desync, crashes etc but the whole team drops everything and deletes all progress as soon as Pro players make some noise, right?
Removing Coils from the maps hardly requires a big team of people.
In infinite yes…
H2/H3/Reach/H4/H5/MCC - far from it.
Our issue is the lack of playlists. 343 obviously was focused on getting people geared towards HCS World Championships so they didn’t have to cancel all the events.
Everybody else was an after thought…
Pretty sure you can do all those things against someone with a coil as well.
I was using the term free kill a bit loosely but in exactly the same context as the person who I was replying to.
Just fire the multiplayer leads. A lot strange decisions.
343 have no choice but to pander to the pro’s
The game as a stand alone multiplayer has no credibility in the gaming community
Released two years early, bugged and massive population drop off.
It talked about a HCS eco system, we all know this is flagging, Two Orgs dropped out, not because of the game bugs or settings but because financially there was no reward only cost, the game doesn’t carry the credibility or a large share of esports consumers to warrant the outlay.
Every pro that streams is constantly (and rightly) complaining of hit registration, d sync, cheaters
343 have lost the average players confidence and so to avoid humiliation they are doing everything to keep the pros engaged and HCS alive.
The issue is that normal players suffer, with reduced aim assist, weapons withdrawn etc.
You want a skill gap make it 4 shot head shot like other Halo’s
Top 3 orgs may feel it’s worth it, the rest will be gone by the end of the season.
HCS NUMBERS are also massaged if I log on 4 times over the weekend it’s counted as four people watching instead of 1 person watching 4 times.
Im not watching any more, im done 343 have turned their back on the average player to hold on to HCS and avoid further humiliation
I believe catalysts removal from ranked is temporary. From what I have been told the maps rotate every season. And catalyst was huge last season. If that’s the case I think it’s a good thing. You want enough maps so no one gets bored… but not soo many that you never get to play your favorite. I’ve also been made to understand my new maps will continue to be released.
I think the removal from the pit may have something to do with the rocket spawn. A lot of times players die from damaged fusion coils. The coils were inadvertently damaged in the combat. But the kill is inaccurately awarded anyway? Just a theory. But I saw this happen a lot. I’ve been both victim and beneficiary of this… “Glitch”? .
True but an unintentionally damaged coil will eventually blow up. Potentially killing a nearby spartan. That death counts against the dead player. And counts as a kill towards either the last player to damage the coil… or the last player to damage the spartan. This creates a margin of inaccuracy in the truerank system. Was more what I was saying.
The BR is a 4 shot kill for a perfect kill. Are you talking about something else?
Guys. It’s only ranked receiving the changes.
The Br was 4 body shot 1 headshot
Or 4 headshots, there is no
Longer any advantage to putting four shots on the head, just the last one giving a bigger target to hit the first few shots in the body
Fiesta is a core playlist. You are crying for literally zero reason.
I’m impressed. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
It’s always been a 4 shot kill. There was NEVER an advantage to putting 4 on the head. You’re supposed to do 3 to the body, one to the head. The second bullet out of three, of your fourth burst, will kill. That is the point of 4shot. It has always worked this was.
It has always worked this way.
You do not understand what you speak of and it shows.
Fiesta was an after thought. We only have that cause people cried hard.
I only play the social playlists when I do challenges. So I’m not really fussed.
I just want a bigger population and better collection of ranked playlists would do that!
Oh you mean because it wasn’t here on launch? Man I’m really glad everything since launch has been an afterthought.
I think it was… I’m going to guess 343 was forced into releasing in 2021 so they could prioritise HCS and their esports contracts.
Yes and they truly are overpaid for playing a video game that is not a true skill or helpful to anyone else in society. “Pro” gaming is just as disgusting as how much professional athletes get paid.
Are you for real? Are you seriously going to go around decrying things as not true skills, because they don’t contribute?
Do you believe art isn’t a true skill? Did you know that in a lot of other countries, Governments LITERALLY pay their artists full time, JUST to make art? WE in the STATES, used to do that! We don’t anymore. Why was it done? Cultural enrichment.
But I don’t imagine you value that.
But you know what, if you wanna’ talk skill? I’m a welder, professionally trained. I’ve worked as a waitress, a chef, a janitor.
And I can tell you, that none of those skills are any less valuable than welding.
So this rant of yours just boils down to bias against professional sports?
The problem with ranked in Infinite is it is the only thing that provides anyone with any sort of progression. That’s why half the “casual” players, endure it.
343 needs to get over HCS. HCS is trash. If someone wants to play HCS modes, they can do it in custom games.
Okay? So?
Sorry I’m just kind of confused at this reply. What does it matter that you as a blacksmith have done no welding? (Though that is, somewhat surprising?)
Did I mention blacksmithing at all?
