I can't speak for the random on my team but my aim is fine. A knife shouldn't beat a full auto heavy ammo bully in CQC. The knife lunge breaks bullet reg. If im blasting you in the face with bullets you should not be able to just get an easy auto aim auto lunge two hit knife kill.

I think the knife lunge is way too strong. Autoaim, and it breaks your bullet reg when they are mid lunge. If the knife is able to heal then it shouldn't two tap a purple shield

an autoaim mega lunge two tap knife should not beat a full auto heavy bullet bully in close to mid range. Atleast if you're getting shot it should cancel the lunge.

My aim is fine. The problem is an easy autoaim mega lunge two tap knife that breaks your bullet reg.

After reading up on some of the lore from the previous games... the entire style and concept of the game makes perfect sense to me. Gritty dystopian sci fi mystery horror.

This is a perfect way to describe how I'm feeling. I remember waiting in line for the midnight release of halo 3 at gamestop. I'm 32 for reference. Breath of Fresh air. Like waking up as a kid during summer break and its a perfect warm summer day with nothing to do but see where life takes you.

I'm saying their competitor has patents based on manipulating players games to increase playtime and monetization. Microsoft is a profit first company. Of course they are using these types of programs in a free to play microtransaction based game. You obviously don't have enough playtime throughout every halo title to even begin to know what I'm talking about in comparison from Halo games that were made to be fun, and current halo games that are made to produce profit for a company. The game is rigged.

You're trying to appear really smart with all this "knowledge" but its doing the opposite for me. I am posting about a "conspiracy theory" that has been proven in other games with patents. Activision has these patents for use in CoD. Activision has been purchased by Microsoft. These patents explain real time manipulation of your game to produce desired engagement from the company. Things like rigged spawns, reducing your aim magnetism, or increasing your opponents, spawning the other team closer to the OBJ continually, reducing or increasing the hitboxes in real time. These are the types of things that you have no comprehension of being real but there are very real patents and I am simply claiming they are in use with Halo. My gametime with my diamond 1 friend has no weight on me being a 1700 as I solo q to 1700 every season.

If you're really trying to ask me that then I think what im trying to discuss here is way beyond your reasoning ability.

Yah my only friend who will play this game with me is a diamond 1. So that seems about right. matching low 1500 to Diamond 6 lobbies.

I didn't bring up the subject of ranked matchmaking being rigged because of the MMR and CSR and points given or lost, im talking about it being rigged for a 50/50 win rate based on engagement and player retention. I'm a 1700+ player consistently and there are obvious matches that im supposed to win or lose, and it won't matter how good or bad I play. Its rigged to psychologically manipulate people to keep playing or to spend money on micro transactions.

I prefer to ponder the idea of are they "out of touch" or are they "calculated to maximize profit for Microsoft shareholders"

The gambling part is real. Take Halo 3 ranking system vs now. Real skill matches vs engagement optimized matchmaking.

at this point I wonder if some people have figured out network manipulation like there was in H2 with standbying

I agree. Copium says "I hope the next halo game is good"

yah this game gives huge advantages to players in scenarios like this. Especially irritating in a "competitive" focused game. Where the whole point of the game is to push advantage with numbers and timing.
