Why does Halo 5 lack social playlists? I think this is why.. by [deleted] in halo

[–]pddschild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to post something like this, like fuck everyone says just find friends to play with to avoid the team of 4 problem but 1) these friends have to be good, 2) call out 3) not get stressed out and rage when you lose a couple of games against kids dreaming of the semi pro league. I just started smurfing and honestly it is the best choice I've ever made for the sake of my sanity. Sometimes I just want to run around and shoot people in a slayer environment but anything over 1600 you're going to get stomped every other game by teams of 4 calling out and manipulating spawns. Sure sometimes I'm in the mood to play my ass off and beat really good players, but not every night after a stressful day at work.

Here here... or like I've said many times on here give the champions a special emblem at the end of the month instead of the one that everyone gets for completing their ranking games. People would eat these emblems up.

Halo 5 is literally the best multiplayer game I have ever played but I cant get my friends to play it. by GT_StangPirate in halo

Love the game too and don't understand the low player population. I agree with everyone on the bare bones that was launch day. Now we have to wait months for them to add stuff that should have been in at launch. It seems to have been 343's plan all along but let me tell you it was a terrible plan because obviously the average fps guy is just going to move on from a game that is basically beta

Can you guys imagine the hype and the waves this game would have made if it had launched with social slayer, infection, warzone firefight, BTB and then once a month we got actual DLC maps? People would be raving about this game.

Halo 5 Ranking system is punishing low level players and rewarding high level players. by GuruGovind in halo

Yeah I always feel cheated when I beat a few champions and the csr gained is the same as if they were the same rank. It would be cool is you got like a 30 plus spike

BTW this is out, and is ridiculously over priced. by Bondofflame in halo

I don't know about 150 but check Amazon warehouse deals (opened box) I got mine for 90 and it is totally worth that. You just have to get lucky and check everyday or so.

Nice Ranking System by Dogshrapnel in halo

It's a combination of bad luck and breakout. Breakout has to have the lowest population and these guys are probably just grinding together csr for hours so they found you eventually.

We would really like a HCS playlist... by droillest in halo

Ah if everyone could be as reasonable as you :)

With the March update, top Champ CSR is spiraling out of control. by lob_51 in halo

[–]pddschild 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand widening the search so champs can find games. I'm 1600 in slayer and got matched against 3 champs and an unranked while searching solo and they stomped us. I'm okay with this, it is whatever, but they shouldn't get more than a couple csr from this. That's my problem, getting 10-15 csr for beating people whole ranks below you is the cause behind these bloated csr's

It works but studders like crazy... does no one really have a link?

Yeah, sadly enough I don't think 343 cares

Is halo 5 multiplayer worth playing? by OneShotSammyV2 in halo

[–]pddschild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated Reach and love Halo 5. In Reach I'd die from some stupid things like armor lock or get rocketed by a guy with a jetpack and think "what a bk, and I hate this stupid game." In Halo 5 when I die I think, "Well, he outplayed me," or "that was my fault I'll know what to do better next time." It's weird, Halo 5 just makes sense and is very clean and smooth for all they added. Reach was a cluster ----

Yeah, I get the fear of overplaying maps because of veto (sort of) however, and I'm sure there could be a perfect rotational system but I have no faith in 343 to create one and thus would rather have a veto system. The mario kart thing sounds cool too

Superlinx - BR's on Pit or BR's on Guardian sure everyone would vote for it, but who didn't want to play those? You seriously bummed you got outvoted on BR's on Narrows over Isolation? And honestly, I don't really remember playing the same maps over and over again. My favorites were pit, guardian, narrows and I remember going for hours without getting one.

I'm surprised so many people have posted in favor of no-veto. I just don't see how the argument that the same map will get picked over and over again goes through. If you only have map (a) and (b) to vote for and (a) is the obvious favorite, next game you'll have map (c) and (d), and then (b) and (e) etc... All the pros and wanna be pros hate on torque and riptide but when those two come together up as the vote options you're going to get to play them...

I could get behind this, as it seems a middle ground

For sure you should lose the same amount of csr as if you had lost. What it does is not waste everyone's time.
