I have been a long time halo player for years, usually on the competitive side.
I really like this game, it feels like a halo game, when I join regular games with my buddies, I can start with a DMR. When I play with my more serious friends, I get slayer pro (I’m assuming MLG is working on a playlist).
When a game is created and starts, the teams need to be even. Period. I can’t even play CTF if I don’t have a team of 5 because the game will end up being a 4v5 for the ENTIRE GAME. I just played one where the other team won simply because they had one more team mate for the entire game.
I’m sure this is already being looked at, but the empty games. If a team backs out after the lobby has started then the game shouldn’t start.
Another CTF problem is not being able to drop the flag. It’s a huge problem and has been game ruining(single game) for me. I understand not wanting people to struggle picking up the flag in those close situations with vehicles/weapons on the ground. You might not want people to juggle the flag, but there’s other ways to prevent that.
Like I said, this game has massive potential but there’s a few tweaks that in my opinion are necessary.
EDIT: Slayer Pro is the closest thing you have to competitive matchmaking right now. There’s no excuse to have instant respawns and assault rifles involved.
