I had same experience.
Hated default control scheme, didn't even like bumper jumper control scheme either, clicked to Halo 4 control scheme and everything clicked.

I also turned down the sensitivity to 4 because I'd put it up to 7 and that was just too much...

i should probably try adjusting sensitivity as well, aiming is a bit hard for me at the moment [but that's probably because all i've been playing is Titanfall on PC since March... lol].

Played a few games and deleted. Doesnt even feel like halo, just feels like a generic fps. And the match making is even more busted then mcc

I could not agree with this ridiculous statement less. The "hate your guts" bit is also a tad childish no?

Yeah very cool game mode. There is some smart people on the mp team that are def esports fans....

Not to mention salaried Pro players in house. Breakout feels like their game.
 
BR starts definitely improve this game. Maps are too large for AR/Pistol starts and BR is far more rewarding weapon to use. BR starts also have a higher emphasis on map control.

Ranked Slayer needs to be BR starts
and no motion tracker

I wonder how this game would play if it had Halo CE grenades. ie: they don't blow up unless they are rested.
Click to expand...

The grenade explode timers in this are random as hell. Sometimes they just skim passed players and explode 20 metres behind them others they bounce and explode not even a tenth of a second later...

Even worse is all that horse shit on the floor of regret making their bounce stupidly random... I would have thought 343 learned from their destruction of The Pit that having random garbage on the ground is NOT a good idea...

Yeah I understand, but is there some kind of magic number to strive for? Since there is this number behind your semi pro ranking.
Click to expand...

I have seen most pros around 1850 to 1900 ELO recently so I'm assuming around that. Just an assumption.
 
Just played the new update.

I like this game now. Somehow dedis are actually working, and the new map lighting is much better.
 
Got in a breakout match with two players who were terrible against a whole team because I'm stuck in Iron 3, almost Bronze 1 when I feel like I should be at least bronze 2. Gah.

So you're upset that players are learning to use the defensive moveset? Keep playing, you'll get the rhythm soon. Stick together and take cover when you are in trouble - let your teammates clean up the kill. Don't be upset about K/D. Surviving is the name of the game in Halo. Sounds like you just need to stop going solo-dolo ans expecting to win. Ever.

You are the problem. Everyone here whines about quitters and you admit to doing so
multiple times because you can't hang? Weak
;)

Oh I admit to quitting at times. I really can't be assed to play versus obvious premades. I honestly invite you to play a round as a solo player versus a premade of semi-pros or whatever, there is absolutely no point to it.
 
Lost another match, lost 19 points despite carrying my team. This is bullshit. They really need to fix it so that your own performance matters more than team performance.

But it's team slayer, the point of the playlist is to win as a team. I do think that the first place player on the losing team shouldn't necessarily lose points though.

Why is it my fault I get fucked over my everyone else on my team? Its not the same team I'm playing with over and over, it's randoms. I can only do so much when the rest of the team isn't doing anything and I still get punished for it.

If you really are better than your teammates you will eventually rank up and get better teammates.

That's the problem though, I've been climbing as much as I can but then I get matches where I die out early each round because I'm actually trying to get a kill or two and then the rest of my team hangs back and is quickly picked off one by one.

I climbed from Iron 3 to the very edge to Bronze 1, and then got a few matches like those and now am at the bottom of Iron 3. It sucks so much.

That's the point of matchmaking. If the game notices you doing particularly well, it's going to match you with less-skilled players for a more even match. The goal of matchmaking is to make games a close as possible. If the game ends 49-50, then the matchmaker did a good job.

Is your team quickly picked off one by one because one player in that team was overly aggressive and chased for kills?

Team slayer in halo is team based obviously. Get some decent friends to play. Winning should be the most important statistic because it gives incentive to team play and winning. Personal stats are cool but rank should hinge on winning.
 
I played early access without any issue loved it. Ever since the beta access for everyone started I can't connect to any games. Much like the MCC needed to access it.

I don't like the Ranking system the way it is currently because it only focuses on Wins and Losses. You gain or lose the same amount of points regardless of how you performed. If your team wins, the guy/girl who went 5 kills and 10 deaths should not receive the same amount of points as other team members that did significantly better. Same for a loss, if I pull 20+ kills with just a few deaths, I should not lose the same points as another play who only had a few kills and double digit deaths.

There should be more factors at play to determine how you rank down and up.
 
Karma for bitching about bad teammates.

Agree. I don't argue with losing points for losing but losing the same amount as someone who went -12 is ridiculous. If you pull your weight you should have less points taken away. Also it doesn't seem to matter how close the game is. If you lose 0-50 you lose the same amount as you would 49-50.
 
Ranking system seems weird. I have a decent KDR most games (2.0-4.0), but always play solo so my win ratio is all over the place depending on what matchmaking decides to pair me up with. As a result, I'm stuck in bronze ghetto for what seems like forever.

Yep, same situation for me with Silver. If you're not partying up you risk not moving through ranks which kinda sucks.
 
I just can't get the hang of nades at all. I'm constantly dying from them and never killing anyone. In fact, I think i've killed about 1 person with a grenade in 4 hours of playing, and I threw it by mistake!

Other people's nades feel like they are magnets to my armour.

I'm ranked Onyx1, i'm doing badly, don't seem to be dropping any further though :(
 
On one hand, the ranking system being based around team win/loss is great. It’s get good, or die trying. On the other hand, you just might stay in the low level ghetto forever even if you put in all the effort. This all assuming you’re playing solo. Some kind of personal performance compensation could help that at lower ranks, but at higher ranks the team win/loss is king.
 
neogaffer1 said:
You say that like it's a simple thing. Everybody I know is PC master race.
Click to expand...
And everyone I know is either horrible at Halo or PS4/PC master race. And that's why I soloque. Losing ranking points because of bad teammates is irritating but it's much better than people KSing everywhere and only thinking about their K/D.

Possibility of getting stuck to low rank ghetto is pretty low after ranks stabilize.

that's good, im glad you are enjoying it (seriously). it doesn't "feel" like halo to me though, gunplay is way different. maybe i just need to play it more when i have less in my backlog

i was exaggerating. but they botched mcc enough for it to be considered one of the biggest failures of 2014 in gaming. after several months you STILL cannot consistently get into a game. the h5 beta took me 25 mins to get one amongst a sea of "there is a problem with the halo servers, please try later" and "could not join session" errors. i realize its a beta but given the state of mcc i have no faith in it working properly at launch. i'd love to see otherwise though. but when no other multiplayer games have this problem i'd say its a pretty big issue that they need to fix

anyways, not trying to shit up the thread was just posting my opinion earlier. keep enjoying the game if it's your thing!

This X100000000.

Such a damn useless addition. I'm just jamming X trying to skip it after every death. Please remove it or at least give an option to disable it. I can never tell if I get a kill after death, assist after death, etc.

I like the Destiny cams. They could work.
