By Old King Rob Go To Postjust played a whole fuckin FFA and didn't get any creditYou try restarting everything? Yesterday it was being dumb till I did, couldn't get in games at all.
The being shot around corners and through shit is getting mighty old and it's not even cheaters it's just their shit netcode.
Doing my LASO run and I shot a rocket at the chopper boss who ended up flying away but never registered as a kill so I can't continue and now need to restart mission. Thanks 343
still no cossplay filters for non-ranked playlists

I'd say the desync is a bigger problem than dealing with kbm while using controller. Players shouldn't have demanded SWAT back yet.
By Old King Rob Go To PostWorst mode with this netcode and the "anticheat"
I miss Warzone. I used to love fuckin around in that mode whenever I didn’t feel like playing competitive. BTB doesn’t solve the same itch right now.
Really don't get the logic in shock rifle/brs for one team and stalker rifle/commandos for the other. The former is so much better. Da fuck. Get your shit together 343.
I just don't find myself playing as much as I thought I would. I hit 56 in the battle pass and I slowed up because I know there's nothing after this battle pass until May. The rank system here sucks, the playlists aren't that diverse or interesting (how hard is it to just give people a proper ranked team slayer playlist?), and most importantly, the map pool is small. Playing ranked means I get the same five maps over and over again.
They really seem to have no idea how to keep players engaged or invested in their F2P game. The cosmetics that they're selling are wildly overpriced and there's no way to earn them in-game. There's no roadmap for what's coming in the future, presumably because there's really not much coming until the big update in May. I don't see how anybody sticks with this all the way until season 2 starts without big changes like new maps and playlist/ranked updates.

By Old King Rob Go To Posti cant imagine the state of the game last yearI truly wonder what they would have even shipped last year. Given the sheer number of people and studios working on Infinite, it's bonkers that there's only six arena maps after six years of development. And it's pretty debatable how viable Behemoth is given their own pro scene has already ditched it.

If they don't have some kind of content update ready to roll for like February, they're going to lose the audience. They had the same issues in H4 and H5, where they got a lot better and added a lot of content over time, but the updates came so late that they didn't matter.
Just sad to see. They fucked up with Halo 4 and kinda fixed it with Halo 5 but not quite. Halo Infinite came out hot but lots of questionable decisions and people might just move onto other stuff. I really enjoy the game so I hope people stick around, but 343 needs to fix their priorities. Weekly challenges being backdrops or emblems is stupid. Give us weapon skins, armor coatings. Add more content.
Why do you have an achievement for elimination mode but it’s not even in the game? Where’s team doubles? Where are proper PvE modes, which IIRC has been around since Halo 3 ODST?
Sometimes I want to play Halo but I’m too tired for competitive. I’m Diamond 5 now so I’m around that rank where if I don’t give it 100% undivided attention then I’m not gonna have a good time. I have no other options though, BTB has so many issues and takes 15 minutes to connect to a match and then you might not even get a full match. I don’t like team slayer. Fiesta sucks bc I just spawn with plasma pistol and disruptors.

Kind of sad what 500m budget gets you these days.
The netcode is just to bad for me to play anymore, why do I keep trading 50% of my 1 on 1's.
Why do I try melee when half the time it doesn't connect, yet they charge to me like it's MW2.

They don't even have the decency to remove BTB challenges when the matchmaking for it is straight up broken lol, guess they gotta get that challenge swap money. They can honestly pound sand. The worst are the fanboys with their "bUt It'S FreE" retort to the complaining, would have gladly paid for a game with a large map library, real customization and decent netcode. It's getting real tiring dying around corners and not even knowing just how hurt I actually am because of desync and high ping or shooting into someone with a popped shield forever only to wind up dead yourself. I keep laughing at the passing giving out shit like the shoulder/knee pads one at a time too, way to stretch that lack of content boys.
There should be a mode that's just grappling hooks and rocket launchers. That's the most fun in the game.
I haven't even started the game in a week now.
It's amazing how they wasted the potential of this game.
I would even pay for some premium matchmaking with decent servers & anticheat.

Started up MCC again since I got my Xbox, a few thoughts.
1. Most importantly, holy shit Halo 4 was garbage. Everything sounds like shit and whatever maps they have in this game are awful. I only played the campaign when it came out because that was around the time Hurricane Sandy flooded my house and then I had also built my first PC.
2. Competitive doesn’t seem playable, as no matter what time I search I can never find other players, leaving me to play social. Normally I’m not a fan of, but whatever, I just wanna play some older Halo. Wtf are these maps in this rotation? In Halo 3 I had some shit called Waterfall not to mention I don’t really get any of the actual H3 maps. I think the only one I’ve played on is Cold Storage. In Reach I had some random forge world maps that were never playable in the actual game.
3. I hope 343 gets their shit together for Infinite like they do with MCC, but in a much shorter time. Multiple challenges, PvE, PvP, whatever. Whatever you’re playing, you’re being rewarded.

They ported a trio of maps, Edge, Waterfall, and Icebox, from Halo Online (a cancelled online only game based on H4 released only in the form of a Russian beta) to H3 MCC last year. Of them, only Icebox is decent since it's just a remake of Turf.
In Infinite news, they announced that changes are coming to the store on Tuesday, both in pricing and in content. Sorry to all the dudes that bought the Iron Man colors for $20. This is also the day that they are rolling out the BTB fix, and the next event starts, which will have the return on king of the hill.
It's something, but I'm just craving more maps.

Game banned me again because it couldn't connect me up with BTB, solid netcode brehs.
Ran into a new bug today where my AR was nonstop firing, thought it was my controller but I unplugged it and well, still kept going.
6 years and they still pushed this out. Muh god.

Kinda done with the game now. None of these challenges really register. Had two FFA challenges so I played a whole match and didn’t get credit for completing them (got no progress at all) then I had a challenge for 20 kills so I played Arena and had 25 kills and then only got credit for 4 somehow. They were all human, post game said I had a score of 0
I really enjoy the gameplay, but everything else is just a mess. Customization sucks and you can’t even look at your service record.

I kind of love the gameplay, but gotta get some new maps and a new battle pass. Until then i am mostly a Csgo boy again
It can be pretty fun with pals if the netcode isn't taking shits. Playing by yourself though is a special kind of torture.

343/MS fucked up Halo Infinite so bad they knew their only solution was to spend $70 billion for CoD
It had a ton of hype, and the gameplay is good, but everything else is so bad and people have already moved onto other games.

Nothing worse than getting a FFA challenge because progress doesn't track. Since I've already reached level 100 there's no more swaps that I can attain so I can't waste them
This game needs way more than maps. Crossplay shouldn’t be a thing. Why is there no PvE mode when there has been one ever since Reach?
Attrition has potential but there needs to be either BR starts or at the very least no power weapons. The game mode is only fun on Aquarius as there is no power weapon so it comes down to teamwork and skill. Bazaar is the worst because if you grab rockets that’s pretty much 4 easy kills, maybe more. Splash damage will get you some assists. Generally whoever grabs rockets wins the round

Launching without Forge has really been a killer. At least with that, they could be curating community created maps to help fill in these rotations until they get 343 official ones in. Like, with them removing Behemoth from ranked, there's only five maps in that entire playlist. It's totally anemic.
It's funny that for all the talk of them delaying the campaign, that was at least finished and complete and it's the the multiplayer suite that's bereft of content.

So little options in customs too, bad UI and weird bugs.
Can't make specific vehicles spawn for fun vehicle games. Can't do multiteam. No infection, KOTH or juggernaut still.

By Old King Rob Go To PostHalo died then came back and died againFrankly, we deserve it for getting our hopes up.
It's funny that this content update was supposed to be launching this month, they delayed it to May, and now it sounds like it may not even hit then. I love the core game play here, but they're fumbling everything else. At least the campaign was good.
3 Killjoys as the capstone challenge is pretty fucked up. Basically hope your team mates feed and then you ruin your opponents spree? Real solid challenge that is in no way RNG based or encouraging dumb play in order to then accomplish the task.
A lot of these challenges promote shitty play. Getting kills with a ravager, disruptor, pulse carbine, etc.

Yes, this is broken. You can sandbag in socials to get easier ranked. How much easier? It's hard to say. If I'm a 1600 Onyx on my main, can I use this method to get to 2000 Onyx (CSR)? Maybe with a lot of grinding, maybe not. I don't really care personally. But there's 2 interesting implications here:I figured social would have some MMR consequences especially if people don't enter ranked and they don't want new people constantly getting stomped out but lol at the bots playlist having any impact. smfh.
From a game theory perspective, if you want the highest CSR possible (e.g. rank, Diamond, Onyx, etc) then you want to use this sandbag method, and you want to avoid slaying hard in bot matches. You want to be *better* than the average MMR games you're playing, that way, if you win, you win big (because you'll probably be top frag), and if you lose, you'll lose very small as top frag. Also, if you throw in social, because of the team MMR matching, chances are you'll start getting better teammates (relative to your opponents) because the system wants to give you help.
The other interesting idea is that if you want to play against pros in matchmaking, go slay a bunch of bots on a new account then get into ranked. Your 2000+ MMR might get you matched up against Optic or C9 players ;) Well, the system probably has some breaks in place to not be *that* extreme, but I've definitely seen unranked accounts who have tested this bot method match against the likes of Cratos, Swish, and other pros.
Conclusion:
Matchmaking by 343 is really stupid. Tons of players who over-played casual games will be having a lower CSR than they should in ranked, and a terrible experience getting dunked on. This linkage of social and ranked global MMR means that now we know for a fact that sandbagging works.
If you're reading this particular reddit, I'd recommend just not giving a shit and playing your games to improve. Maybe try shooting a bunch of bots with 20:1 K/Ds if you want a higher chance of placing into pro or semi-pro matchmaking lobbies lol.
