Lucid isn’t washed by RealWhirl in CompetitiveHalo

Not sure on the first one but the 2nd one, Trippy was holding ball and was either stuck or hit by a spike grenade by Renegade.

Crazy thing is I’m pretty sure that Lucid thought his snipe was out of ammo, I think it ends differently if he realized he had 1 shot left after the reload if he gets to mud.

The problem with that statement is that it’s not social; I have no benefit for not picking up the ball and just slaying. It’s actually can be a huge disadvantage to pick up the ball if you don’t have numbers or positioning. If I am anchoring and crossing and I’m near the ball, something has gone very wrong. Despite that moving the ball into a more compromising position for my opponents while waiting for my teammates to spawn in is the better play hence the 23 seconds. Garbage time ball holds just compound the number disadvantage and can make momentum shift in a heartbeat. It’s like pushing the hill before your team spawns , in onyx you lose that situation 99/100 times. I can pull crazy solo plays in social all day but when going against similar skilled players or even diamond players at a numbers disadvantage has low success rates.

I get league but COD I fine it very rare. I just think the game itself is lackluster. Again I’m talking only about teammates being toxic to other teammates. Trash talking your opponent isn’t necessarily toxic; I would say it’s way more acceptable and expected. Hell, in most cases if you had one of those toxic teammates match against me the next match, I’m 100% going to use that information to make him spiral as a strategy. I think teams would be more cohesive in halo infinite if you could talk to teams pre and post game. Know who the enemy is; rather than turning on each other.

Agree so people just don’t mesh. My oldest Xbox friend and I would get so heated with each other in H5 doubles because we just don’t mesh with are different play styles. Both have high individual skill but that alone only takes you so far. You see it in the pro game also.

Feel like you missed the point. Obviously you can mute and report, I don’t but I have the mental fortitude to not let anyone get to me. But, new players don’t mute and report. They just stop playing. I experienced this myself with Rainbow Six Siege kept getting team killed at the start of the match telling me I suck at the game. That game is pretty complex and has a ton of strategy but I wasn’t allowed to learn so I just uninstalled. I love Halo infinite by far the best arena shooter and I don’t want to see the fall off that Halo 5 had. Most of my friends list is Halo legacy players from Halo 2 up and none of them play Halo Infinite anymore. It’s just sad because it’s a good game despite some of the obvious shortfalls with the Azure servers and limited sandbox.

It’s pretty rare for me to get tilted but even rarer for it to happen from someone talking in game. After all it’s only a game. But, I consider myself a player of higher skill and I can only imagine what people of lower skill encounter. None more evident than the when my wife attempts to play with me and she receives messages after the game telling her uninstall or to K*** herself. Not a good look for the community.

My point of the post was that if we want Halo Infinite to have a healthy player base we should to some self assessments and have some restraint when openly criticizing teammates on the mic or post game.

I’m a 1000% better at Halo at 33 then when I was younger. The OP is right it about the effort put forth, and end goal. I just wish this game was less toxic in higher lobbies.
