It finally happened, I dropped a sword bearers shield with a charged plasma pistol and meleed them before they sliced me up.
Sword is an OP fiesta weapon that shouldn’t be in ranked. So everyone GA it because the sandbox team ignores the HCS community entirely.
Sword hasn’t been updated yet by 343
Everything in Halo should be in Ranked. “Competitive” players should just get their own boring--Yoink!- playlist. Whether it’s Smash Bros, Halo, whatever, I’m sick of pros and pro-wannabes taking all of the fun out of games.
I like playing for fun, but I still like ranked.
It’s fine if you want to play a game that strips away all of the Halo elements. The sandbox has a lot of options and it’s okay you want to play the game differently. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but removing certain maps, removing repulsor kills, removing fusion coils, removing swords, etc, should be considered the alternative way to play Halo, the offbeat mode. I don’t understand why a certain subset gets to claim to be the arbiters of the term “competitive” and somehow has their voice elevated above everyone else.
You guys have SWAT already. Now you guys want some other boring playlist as well, but keep your mitts off of Ranked. When I play Ranked, I want to play Halo, not some neutered version of Halo that you call “competitive”.
Actually uh, Ranked players don’t like Tactical Slayer or SWAT as you call it.
Because it’s, decidedly not Halo. They consider it easy, unskilled, twitchy gameplay. It’s not what we want.
Fair enough, but I guess they want an HCS playlist, or whatever neutered custom set of weapons they consider to be “competitive”.
I just want a variety of everything rotating through, game types, weapons, vehicles, equipment, all of it. Of course I want things tailored to promote good gameplay, or avoid extremely bad gameplay. But banning singular items is not it, imo.
Do you think thay nurf it for the new inflation mode there working on for the bulldog?
