Worst things about the new update

  1. Removal of skill jumps makes no sense. I dont even utilize them that often, but whats the point?
  2. The delay to shoot after a melee has to go, its never been this bad. If u accidentally melee during a fight, u are now pretty much guaranteed to lose that fight.
  3. Guns just arent shooting sometimes now. That needs addressing.
  4. The changes to slide movement techniques arent really appreciated.
  5. Rumble Pit replacing traditional FFA is not good. These modes being added is great, but they shouldnt completely replace the standard modes. Having Ranked FFA would solve this issue, so I can wait for that.

Overall a great and much needed update (although obviously still a lot missing) but it has missed the mark with some of the changes.

  1. I’ll play the Devils Advocate on this one. Skill jump like the ones that got removed were clearly unintentional. I would imagine that if there are skill jumps 343 wants them to be on purpose. Maybe some of the skill jumps screwed up the flow of maps or something??? :thinking:

  2. Not sure what you mean here. You mean if you hit a wrong button and activate an animation then lose because of it? I’m not sure that’s a mistake.

  3. YUP!!! My rockets frequently go M.I.A mid flight. I’ve only had minor issues with other weapons.

  4. I think a good example of why they nerfed this happened during the HCS over the weekend. A pro player grabbed the flag and literally launch across the middle area in like…3 seconds it was super cool though.

  5. I think Rumble Pit is the one that came first! personally i prefer the Rumble! a ranked LSS would be neat

For point number 2, Im not talking about being unable to shoot during the animation. And this may just be a coincidence of number 3, but it seems like once the animation is finished there is a longer delay to be able to shoot than before.

Realistically I wanna see a lot more ranked playlists: ranked LSS, ranked FFA, ranked 2v2, ranked 4v4 attrition, ranked 4v4 team slayer, ranked 4v4 arena (Oddball, KOTH, CTF, Strongholds), monthly rotating ranked playlist (4v4 Snipers, FFA Snipers, 1v1 slayer, 4v4 SWAT, etc.)

Last spartan standing game mode is easily the worst

There’s still not enough content here. No progression system outside a bp of which I don’t care for. No incentive to perform well outside trying to reach challenges…list still goes on. I’m so tired of the maps we had for 6 months.
