#

it would be great if you could play this game all hours of the day but its completely playable for a large window 15:00-23:00 GMT/UTC

#

there's regions that have it wayyy worse then we do

#

i complained before they added local matchmaking but now i dont really see what the problem is. play when most Europeans are playing and you have no problem

Jello People, Just dropping in to see if anything new has occured in the world of Halo Infinite

I've been trying hard to find coating applications for this new visor, color theory is def not my thing

image.png image.png image.png image.png image.png
languid yarrow
#

i can dm you my setup with that visor

river minnow
#

I think you have the gold and purple one if you have the eagle shoulder pads

vapid marten
#

Or, complementary is the wrong word for color theory

#

It's more, analogous if you pick three colors next to each other.
Analogous with purple and blue is a type of red. With both the blue and red closer to the purple on the color wheel.
Complementary is one main color and then another on the opposite side of the wheel. So purple would have green as it's complementary color.

#

difficult to do anything with the coats and visors as they are locked with what they have

rugged quartz
#

Why am I away from my Xbox when the time to show off combos comes?

rugged quartz
vapid marten
#

I mean that it's difficult to pick the right colors when all coats and visors are color-locked.
In that we can't customize the colors ourselves.

#

Dark red for instance is a complementary color with dark teal

#

The late level visor in the Battlepass is quite Dark Red. As a visor only it's a very small area of the whole Spartan. A Dark Teal coat could work with the splosh of red in the face. However It'd probably look better to have a Coat which has both elements. Not certain that there is specifically a Coat with both Dark red and teal.

the way the fracture core shows the visor colour on the chest peice... i feel like they should just have an option for chest peices on all cores: grey, match coating, match visor

is season 4 being shown off today?

wide trout
#

I wouldn’t count on it but there is a slim chance

analog salmon
#

i just dont get why sidekick slayer is a thing on cliffhanger. i like the map but i never experience so much camping and quiting in any other map

#

and somehow the only time i get that map in quick play is sidekick slayer

#

the dang bot literally spawns and picks up the sniper and heatwave right in front of me. without that dang bot i would have won easy

#

so how do you mute people in game? seems like this simple feature has been needlessly complicated

Hey, I remember reading this steam post about some dudes microsoft account being locked after signing into infinite for the first time and well, i’d love to play this game but really do not want to attach a phone number to my account. So uhm does this game force you to have a phone number connected?

wide trout
#

It forces you to have a microsoft account

#

The same one you use for xbox

olive brook
#

Yes, i know that but like does it force me to have a phone number attached to it?

#

Since some modern games have well, questionable security

ruby knoll
#

I don't think you need a phone number for an ms acvount

olive brook
#

My current one doesn’t have one, and i’d like to keep it that way since phone numbers aren’t exactly the safest

inland minnow
#

well you can always... try. just try loading into the game and see what happens.

does infinite specifically require you to have a phone number associated to play like some big name free to play shooters? no, it doesnt.
will microsoft pester you about 2fa when you go to log in to infinite if you don't already have some form of 2fa set up? perhaps. but that's not a given, and if it's going to do that, it would happen for you on your next ms account sign in regardless of what exactly youre signing into.

olive brook
#

Thank you, I absolutely hate having to login to stuff with my microsoft account since I’ve had quite a few terrible experiences with them

#

I also have some form of 2FA set up with my gmail address, but sometimes it does ask me for a code on a new login, and sometimes it doesn’t so i have no idea whats that about..

devout kite
#

The new teleport equipment will be a game changer in ctf and oddball

analog salmon
#

surely it wont be usable with ball or flag

devout kite
#

I feel like 343 should allow the pro players to test the new equipments to give feedback

onyx latch
#

I'm pretty sure they do.

celest heron
#

they have an internal pro team

stone star
#

yeah and its a crappy way to test game balancing

#

cause then the only feedback they get is that of the pro esports players and what they want

#

where's the feedback from the casual player

wide trout
#

Nobody said that they only listen to the best of the best players

celest heron
#

you think only pro players test stuff?

stone star
#

true

#

well, I may be wrong but wasn't one of the biggest reasons for the DMR being added was for it to be the new starting weapon in comp?

#

and they balanced it around that more than anything?

celest heron
#

no

stone star
#

that's what I heard

#

so it's not the starting comp weapon?

tepid latch
#

No

stone star
#

if it's not then that's odd cause I remember people complaining about the battle rifle a lot

tepid latch
#

its still the Br isnt it

stone star
#

I thought they would have changed it by now

analog salmon
#

its not a comp weapon without descope

tepid latch
#

Dmr i think replaced the pistol as a starter for BTB but idk if thats permanent

analog salmon
#

i think it was just meant to replace SK in BTB and also be a alternative pistol

#

basically replaced mangler in ranked

stone star
tepid latch
#

cuz of its similar feel to the h5 mag

analog salmon
#

its hard to know how long they had the bandit conceptualised for though. maybe it was always in the works or maybe its something they came up with in the first year to switch things up

#

apparently it wouldnt work in competitive halo with a 1.4x zoom and no descope

stone star
#

but they have the sidekick

analog salmon
#

not starting

#

sidekick is a funny weapon in ranked tbh

#

so much RNG that using it is basically a gamble

#

i dont really understand the game enough to know why the bandit wouldnt work right now as starting weapon for competitive but it seems to be the consensus

#

like your ability to shoot your way out of spawn and such

#

i know the game has a major problem on bigger maps with sidekick starts in social

#

to the point that people are consistently quitting chasm and cliffhanger social slayer matches

stone star
#

I just thought it would have replaced the BR since apparently people were complaining about the BR a lot

#

and there wasn't a suitable replacement in the game

analog salmon
#

some people prefer Halo 5 magnum starts over the BR but the Bandit isn't quite that i dont think

#

even with changes to the Bandit, a lot of people would still prefer the BR

#

Infinite plays well with BR starts in general

#

i get not wanting it starting weapon in social but at higher level of play the BR works well

#

if anything I think the BR is specifically designed as a competitive weapon

#

with how its AA is tuned and such

stone star
#

I didn't think the br was a suitable comp weapin given how easy headshots are with it thanks to its recoil

analog salmon
#

true

#

its kinda made the game all about team play, positioning and team shooting rather then your aim

stone star
#

You don't have to aim at their head to get a headshot, their torso is best cause it's a larger target and the recoil will cause the third bullet to hit the head anyway

analog salmon
#

it helped they turned the AA down though

stone star
analog salmon
#

when they nerfed the AA i think it increased the aim skill gap a decent amount

#

people started missing shots and such

stone star
#

Right

analog salmon
#

i personally like where it is right now but that's probably because im not the best by any means

#

I've heard even some pros say they should just switch up the starting weapon to add variety

#

honestly at my level i wouldnt mind br, commando, or bandit. Sidekick would need a rework to be a ranked starting weapon though, far too much rng

stone star
#

I don't play ranked

#

Too sweaty

#

And I don't like when the casual game is influenced by ranked play in games

analog salmon
#

i find the sidekick in social so frustrating. makes me wanna throw my controller at the wall whereas in ranked i die cause i got outplayed or my team mates are sleeping

onyx latch
#

Imagine thinking the BR would get replaced by the DMR in comp

#

Ha, couldn't be me

stone star
#

Cool story bro

onyx latch
#

BR literally got its own special version of a nerf (IE, the lack theorof) to work "as intended" in comp.

analog salmon
#

like i call myself a casual sweat because i find the game more relaxing in ranked. ultimately im gonna tryhard and sweat whatever mode i play cause i like winning

#

well i like close games or winning lol

stone star
#

I'm a casual sweat as well but I just don't play ranked play

#

But I get comfortable with a games mechanics so I can do well without really trying

#

But in ranked play you're like, expected to try

analog salmon
#

imo its a mentality thing. people take ranked too seriously, act like you having a bad game is somehow the worst thing that happened and you should be ashamed

#

in reality its just a game

stone star
#

Fair

analog salmon
#

though its hard to avoid people with the overly serious mentality and it does get to you

stone star
#

I think people just get too into the ranked grind and always trying to rank up

analog salmon
#

yeah 100%

#

i hit Onyx in S2 and after that there's nothing really to play for other then a higher number so i just stopped taking it seriously and play for fun, but man i have to consciously filter out the people who lose it every time i have a bad game

#

might as well disable the text chat tbh

#

and mute toxic people in vc

stone star
#

I think I'd just troll em myself tbh

analog salmon
#

you cant really because then you will throw for the other 2 people

stone star
#

Oh no I don't mean throw the game I'll still play, just troll em in text or vc

#

I find intense rage to be hilarious tbh

analog salmon
#

i mean really anything but muting them will distract you from the game

stone star
#

But I'm not taking the game seriously to begin with

#

hence me not playing ranked

analog salmon
#

toxic people basically just screw themselves because they are distracting their team mates

#

i dont take it seriously but i respect that its ranked and people want their team mates to do their best

stone star
#

I do take ranked im some games seriously, mainly if I am playing with friends

#

But this game, na I really can't

analog salmon
#

its a competitive mode and you are going to care about your performance if you are playing that mode, but i think with halo you just cant take the whole thing super serious because of how inconsistent most halo players are

#

like outside of really high levels i dont really know many people who are consistent in this game

#

and that means you have to be able to have bad games and not let it get to you i guess

#

look at the bigger picture, look at your overall performance

#

and sadly in halo there's always gonna be people giving you a hard time in ranked

#

its annoying but i do think you can casually enjoy ranked if you can filter them out and just enjoy the competitive nature of the matches

#

i personally find i get much more satisfaction out of my play sessions because every match is close. social i have some really great matches, but so many are dull

#

and playing social its like your just hoping every game to have an actual balanced match

#

but 4/5 arent

stone star
#

yeah

#

oce is hard to find a balanced game anyway cause player pop is so low

analog salmon
#

its hard to even find ranked games solo in europe tbh

#

there's only really a few hours i can queue

#

and we're probably the most populated region outside NA

stone star
#

trying to play right now but since it's middle of the day and people are at work I keep getting 250ms games

#

btw how many games are we allowed to quit before we get a temp ban?

analog salmon
#

quite a lot not that i encourage it lol

stone star
#

I do cause there's just no point playing on ping that high

analog salmon
#

you should be able to choose "local" and only get servers in your region

#

though i think it might only be a "prefer local" since i got a North American server today

stone star
#

Oh damn I had it on expanded

analog salmon
#

yah the local option is a huge improvement for the most part

#

you might have to play more peak time though

stone star
#

Of course

crystal iron
#

I wouldn’t recommend local

#

Unless you’re queueing later in the evening you won’t be finding games at all

#

Ranked is dead here, only way to get games would be queueing with a West US player for 150+ ping games

# stone star how was it a backsmack if it went straght into my torso

I imagine it's a bit of latency. From your end or theirs. And maybe even both? Like those times you get step back into cover and get shot "around the corner".

And I think the "back smack" is a server glitch. It doesn't know how to reconcile that the two players now occupy the same space. So you end up with your opponent technically behind you. Hence the back smack.

Frustrating. But what can you do.

I guess 343 could tidy up their net code to look for these situations where your opponent is facing in the wrong direction for a ninja.

stone star
#

I just watched it back in theater, turns out he was never even facing me

#

he was still in front of me but his back was turned, so I guess on his end I was in front of him or something

#

still that shouldn't be happening on 20ms servers

languid yarrow

stone star

languid yarrow
#

#

either that or u live here 24/7

left snow
#

You're at 20ms. But they might not be.

And the fact that you were facing in the same direction at least lends itself to who the server got confused.

stone star
#

if they weren't on 20ms that would be very odd

#

I'm in Australia, our population isn't very high

#

I'd assume if someone was gonna be geofiltered it'd be to US servers

left snow
stone star
#

also odd that it would go with the higher ms connection instead of the lower one

left snow
#

Fair point.

I think Halo netcode tends to favour the aggressor. Usually the one who fired the shot as opposed to who was running away. Here it honoured the melee.

What's the point of them implementing a career progression system if a good chunk of it just gets skipped because they accounted for previous playtime? If someone played an ungodly amount of Halo so that they start off already done with the progression system, they now have nothing to progress. Even starting out halfway up leads to having half as much stuff to progress and those people would complain that they have less stuff to do. It's a no-win situation, so the best solution is give everyone an equal start.

I would've been more annoyed if they had me halfway through already considering how much I've played.

I'm fairly sure you're familiar with Godwin's law?
A theory of my own is that the longer a person participate in different discussion online, the more difficult it becomes for them to label something as sarcasm.
Because a person will be subjected to more and more people who genuinely mean something while appearing sarcastic with what they say.
I'm sure there's already some fancy name for it but I haven't bothered searching because I like the feeling that it's my theory for the time being.

This time it's not the case though because the contents of your response is far too hostile and targeted for it to be anything else but a direct attack.
Which is quite out of touch, even for this community, yes people have their differences, and tumultuous scenarios can arise, hot air vented, harsh words traded and whatnot, but I've always felt that there's still a feeling of belonging together, a bond shared over a common interest. I'm against sprint, someone else is not, but we share our best intentions for Halo regardless. This feeling is not present here.

What I saw was an opportunity for a small innocent joke encompassing the issues Halo Infinite's had since its release combined with the feeling many get when they are bored; feeling that time passes slower. For all intents and purposes, Halo Infinite has been slow on many things, from Co-Op and Forge to prolonged seasons, which has also led to quite a drip feed of content.

No matter how much you pride yourself in your time keeping abilities, it doesn't change anything about what people think of the Progression System and its lack of checking a player's game history. Merely derailing the conversation and going off-topic. Often a sign that you don’t really have anything to add to the actual subject.

#

Does it matter to the Game Progression which isn’t in yet that the game wasn’t release 2 years ago? No, it doesn’t. Blowing up over half? Now that is incredibly petty and unnecessary. But I guess you succeeded in your objective to divert attention from the subject.

What’s amusing is the completely nonsensical response to my joke. It’s like you took it very personally, and I’d even wager that 343 employees could laugh at it and find some sort of recognition in it. You know, some jokes are fun because they’re absurd but there’s still some sort of self-recognition in it. Oh look at me, explaining the concept of “jokes”. Explaining the joke ruins the joke, but does explaining jokes ruin jokes overall? I’ll take my chances with you, doubt much would be lost.

As much as it pains me to admit, I am a human being, for the time being, and subject to the reality my brain creates with the inputs it gets from my many senses. Time seeming like it passes by at varying speeds is a very human sensation that practically everyone has experienced. So what “reality” are you talking about? Yours? Yes, I am detached from it as you experience it, I am part of it as an aspect of it, but it is not “my reality”. It shares a lot of inputs but I will never know how you truly experience it. One thing which seems to be lacking is the normal human sensation of flow of time in different situations. Draw your own conclusions from that if you will. I’m certain there are plenty of other human sensory phenomena that could be disregarded as “detached from reality” and “delusion”, like maybe sense of temperature, which is actually just acclimating and sensing temperature differences, or sense of speed.

There are many reasons to act out like you did. This time however is not the right occasion, or the reason. I suggest you have someone take a look at it.

vapid marten
# ruby knoll Your mind is a potato forgotten about long enough that it sprouted

Out of all the vegetables you chose to insult my mind, that has to be one of the poorest choices you could’ve made.

Here, let me explain it to you so it’s not lost on you.
A sprouted potato can, and should be, planted to form new ones (The new ones are actually clones of the original). Extremely little effort for more food, who says no to more food?
In addition to that, the potato is probably the most versatile vegetable we have.
You can do so many different dishes with it, and snacks. It goes with basically everything you can put on a plate, and there are so many amazing variants of it.

I’ll gladly accept that my mind is like a sprouted potato, because I can work with in so many ways, like I will do with my real life potatoes currently growing in my backyard.

Been thinking about this for a qol update for MCC. Could they make it possible for Forge Monitors to noclip through only forge placed objects? The monitor cannot clip through terrain of course but can seamlessly pass through forge placed objects/structures.

Wonder how the shotguns gonna work in Infection, will it be cranked up to the one-hit-KO of the previous shotties or will we have to rely on actual team coordination to survive...

crystal iron
#

Even if I don't necessarily need a career rank to play, I am a little bit disapointed for the folks who like this kind of system. Especially since the rewards are cool but could be better imo but mostly because Customs Games & Forge don't count. That could be another incentive for people to keep forging and playing in customs. I really hope they change this in the future if it's possible.

God I really wish Team Slayer with BR would have a much lower weight.

#

especially if quickdraw is going to be a capstone challenge

glacial tartan
#

Because the playlists in HI are designed to maximize engagement (play time) by not allowing players to pick exactly what modes they need to complete their challenges.

#

(Copy pasted from a Reddit thread discussing why the match composer isnt in HI)

obtuse storm
#

I was not discussing match composer

#

Team slayer with match composer would still queue the variant types

glacial tartan
#

Why?

obtuse storm
#

because they are team slayer

glacial tartan
#

It doesnt in MCC

obtuse storm
#

if you queue swat you can get swatnums, dmr, or br

#

the same for the other variant types

#

variants of a mode are still that mode

glacial tartan
#

You said Team Slayer thats what threw me off

obtuse storm
#

yes

#

Team Slayer has AR/Pistol, AR/BR, and BR

#

in infinite

glacial tartan
#

But in MCC you can choose precision (BR/AR) vs automatic (AR/Pistol)?

obtuse storm
#

not when it was introduced. and I admittedly haven't played MCC in a while

glacial tartan
#

No problem

obtuse storm
#

but yes. the weighting of modes skews way too hard to AR/BR

#

and more often than not it's a map spawn rotation without a pistol

analog salmon
#

right but isn't that the challenge being ill fit to the current state of the game

#

they did AR/BR starts based on player feedback/data

#

i dont think the sidekick is particularly valuable to Halo Infinite's gameplay myself. Feels like one of the weakests aspects of the weapon sandbox. But I still play Quick Play which is always sidekick starts

#

i do think challenges should be designed to be doable in multiple playlists though

#

that challenge would have made wayy more sense when the sidekick was starting weapon in BTB, Team Slayer and Quick Play

analog salmon
#

IMO they really need to curate map-mode combinations better, have fixed weapon pads for specific map-mode combinations. Its a lot of work but it would improvement gameplay a ton imo.

#

Part of what makes ranked great is every map has sensible weapon pads based on the fact players are starting with BRs every time

I know. but then I have to contend with objective modes

If you feel pressure to play a playlist you don't enjoy vs. a playlist you do enjoy because you have to pick up a pistol in the playlist you do enjoy and may not see that in the first game...you care more about dress up than the actual gameplay. Resist dumb fomo. The challenges are so, so easy in this game that you should not ever feel pressure to play a playlist you don't enjoy - you'll easily get the challenges done simply by being aware of them and playing playlists you enjoy.

I used team slayer in order to get the sidekick

#

I believe team slayer it’s a one and three of getting the AR and sidekick

The reason why I asked if the watchdog coating is still obtainable post launch is because halo 5 is currently on sale for $5

Why is the MCC for steam, have no crossplay campaign

#

Or splitscreen

wide trout
#

I can’t think of a single FPS game on PC that has splitscreen support

sharp meteor
#

More so crossplay

wide trout
#

That said, crossplay campaign is something that has been worked on, so think, for a while

sharp meteor
#

Why doesn't it work as well as multiplayer?

#

Or as smoothly ig

#

Borderlands 3 has it

wide trout
#

I’m not a 343 dev, I couldn’t tell you

#

Different games work differently, it’s unfair to compare two

coarse dagger
#

MCC games were originally built to work with specific consoles, and weren't built with PC or crossplay in mind. Updating these old games requires rebuilding a lot of networking code (essentially shifting networking models, from what I understand) and quite a bit of time

glacial tartan
#

tbh the campaign networking is pretty similar imo to how it was back in the day, ignoring the high number of crashes in H2 / the memory leak in CE

coarse dagger
#

Oh, the other thing to mention is that system specs can play into this as well. For example someone playing from a hard drive vs a friend on an SSD. The closer you are on specs, the easier it is to play - again, in part due to the games being designed for a single system

sharp meteor

That make a lot more sense

I can, however, tell you that you're giving in to stupid fomo designed to make you want to whip out that wallet.

signal ivy
#

brb buying credits

vapid marten
#

There sure are aspects of the game designed around fomo, but it's been quite amended by recent changes, such as having access to many bundles through the customization screen, and as you yourself pointed out, having easy challenges, which were also decreased in amounts per week and made to not be reliant on game mode or playlist. IN addition to all of that, the weeklies are, outside of the extra active challenge slot through the premium BP and swaps ( which can't be used on the ultimate challenge ), not subject to any monetary transactions in any way whatsoever. You can't skip a challenge, or speed up its progress. You can't purchase the weekly reward and as far as I'm concerned no weekly reward has been for sale as of yet.

#

The only fomo around weeklies is completing them inside their timeframe, no amount of money pumping is going to speed up that progress.
Fomo with challenges is designed to keep players engaged longer with the product, other Fomo is aimed at the players' wallets.

Bottom line though. It doesn't matter what input someone is using. They have a skill rank... And as long as they perform at that rank it's all good.

If my opponent is a P2, it doesn't matter what input they are using. As long as they perform as a P2.

Who cares if they would be a P1 (or even P3) using a different input.

onyx latch

That it's bad

#

Huh. Only 3 people on my team went positive last match, I was one of them.

#

Sadge.

analog salmon
#

Problem I have with heavies is that it justifies normal BTB having no vehicles. There’s a middle ground.

#

I think they were trying to find that with vehicle drops and in theory it could work if it wasn’t so easy for one team to take both tanks for instance

#

I remember the BTB flight being pretty good

#

On fragmentation

#

Which is because the drops are close to either base and hard to steal. You drop 2 tanks on fragmentation and both teams usually have a tank

#

But I also think there needs to be more hogs ghosts and banshees in each base for regular btb

#

I’m sure there’s people who love the chaos of heavies but I think most people just want more vehicles in btb and heavies is the only option

onyx latch
#

I frankly prefer BTB having minimal vehicles and next to no tanks.

analog salmon

I just like maps like oasis that offer space for both vehicle and infantry combat

What are peoples oppinion on the additions coming in season 4 of Halo Infinite. I have concerns about the new equipment being added.

open umbra

You mean the quantum translocator?

open umbra
round forge
#

I feel like the translocator was something I was initially against given my experience with the promethean knights in Halo 4-5 but was glad to see the had tried to genuinely balance it by adding the trail. I'm more concerned about the threat seeker as I feel like that one is rather overpowered and could completely break the balancing of the game.

open umbra
#

I think in open area yes, but in closed area it seems kind of balanced for me. Because you can't see the enemy highlights through walls which means you need to venture inside the room to check for enemies. And that is kind of dangerous since the enemy player might already noticed that (if their HUD also have the highlight effect like the one being detected by the threat senor) and set in a high alert on the every entrances.

left snow
#

The threat seeker looks ok. It appears to only light you up if you are in the room it's detonated in. And only for a short period.

And do we know if said enemies are visible to your whole team - or just you?

Career Rank really needs more rewards than just emblems. No one is going to grind ranks without something to look forward to besides a tiny .jpeg

celest heron
#

then they'll just play normally and not grind

Career rank should have exclusive rewards like armor and coatings, or a secondary currency similar to Halo Reach credits that allow us to purchase cosmetics from the armor hall. It would especially incentivize those who complete their passes early.

Im sure there are more players but the point is the same - as populations drop, its harder to match "like" players.

I am not asking them to make it like ranked, all I want this have gold plat diamond together or something narrower gap

not onyx 2200 vs guy on his first game

when I create a new account there are plenty gold and plat, diamond players until you win too much

everyone get a token for participating in a game here is some xp. we all play this game because we want to win and sure social is not important like ranked but you still want to win or atleast you dont feel like its a 1v4 all the time that I can always fighting 2 or 3 people at the same time which is not fun even if you are good

It’s just compatibility, like wine

i think Infinite compiles shaders on the loading screen though so not sure about the stutters

which is why you get those insanely long "waiting for other players to load" sometimes

finally getting a series x. if it doesn't help with my Infinite problems, I'm going to uninstall it. just tired of this crap.

Apparently that issue was a bit deeper than they could get to.

#

Reset bug doesn't exist on PC though 😎

celest heron
#

mainly referring to aiming issues and some other things. Edit: actually I won't need to uninstall since I'll finally have the space, but I'll just stop playing.

young glen
#

I'm not sure what you mean by aiming issues, but the increased FPS should make it a lot easier to track your targets.

analog salmon
#

What are you playing on now

#

And what controller

#

Something worth trying is a bit of outter deadzone

#

If your controller has zero outer deadzone and you have it set low in infinite you can never be able to reach max turn speed which will throw ur aim bad

#

Also if your mouse has drift that will affect ur aim assist

#

With controller

celest heron
#

I'm on xb1 with low sens and high outer deadzone cause everything feels too fast for me so I'm trying to make it slower.

analog salmon
#

The regular Xbox One runs the game at 30fps without proper frame timing

#

Same with One S

#

Probably never gonna feel right

#

Increasing outer deadzones increases sensitivity

#

Because you are narrowing the usable range of the stick

#

There’s a bit of debate in the competitive scene whether low or high outer deadzone is better

#

But the main thing is you understand what it actually does to your stick

#

I would say leave it default on both sticks

#

If your aim doesn’t feel right

#

Most games have a decent amount of outer deadzone and MCC has some fixed amount you can’t adjust

#

And whether it’s beneficial to reduce or increase it isn’t clear cut

#

Personally I use default sensitivity and acceleration in MCC, and in infinite I turn acceleration up by 1 notch to 3

#

And then I zero out inner deadzone because my controller has zero drift

#

Not sure if inner deadzone effects the sensitivity but you want it as low as you can tolerate pretty much. Default is wayy too high and if you need it that high, you probs need a new controller

#

Arguably inner axial deadzone helps on the movement stick to strafe faster but there’s no solid consensus.

#

Infinite will never feel like MCC whatever you do though, so if aim for that you will just mess stuff up

celest heron
#

well I just went 5-15 so I'll try it.

analog salmon
#

Other then inner deadzones the defaults are a good place to start

#

343 made them default for good reason and most pros don’t deviate a ton from them

celest heron
#

oooh, it just showed up.

celest heron
#

that's cool, get the ultimate done and none of the customization is working when I browse the colors.

Combining BTB heavies with regular BTB was the worst decision ever.

left snow
# analog salmon Arguably inner axial deadzone helps on the movement stick to strafe faster but t...

Axial deadzone is how far the stick has to move off the horizontal or vertical axis before it translates into diagonal movement? So you would think it should help with strafe?

A higher value makes your move stick act a bit like a D-pad. But I've seen articles argue that both high (15) and low (0) values help your strafe!

Max Threshold is the key. It sets where the stick registers as maximum (it's functions a bit like an outer dead zone). So a high value lets you hit maximum speed faster - which is what you want for a quick strafe.

#

There is a YouTube video by Above Average Cody - where he goes through the stick settings. He suggests having your move stick at MTH 15 and ADZ 0 to help with strafe. And your look stick at MTH 0 and ADZ 12 for aiming.

analog salmon
#

The counter argument is more range on movement gives you more LS aiming precision

#

And you can still wack the stick left and right for fast strafing in cq

#

I’m not entirely convinced it makes much difference and my aim is my weakness so I just go with standard LS

#

Aggressive strafing might even throw your aim itself

#

But if your aim is spot on with a small LS movement range you have nothing to lose

devout kite

I think this epitomises 343's struggle to keep the community content content 😂

Fans tend to compartmentalise. And they resist change. Passionately.

It's not helpful when we end up catastrophising every change though.

Why do I have to rely on having a party to even stand a chance in Halo. Soloing in these games is the worst idea imaginable :,,]

left snow
#

Teaming up is more fun. Especially with friends. But going solo is ok.

What's your W/L difference solo vs party?

It shouldn't be hugely different. Squads have an MMR weighting applied. So shouldn't stay too far from 50%.

From my data it doesn't seem too bad. Solo vs 4 stack is nowhere as one sided as people have been claiming.

open umbra
# devout kite A wasp is easy to take out

The best counter weapon to air vehicles in my opinion is actually the Sniper and the Shock Rifle.
Hydra / Rocket Hog needs to be in range.
Skewer need to calculate the trajectory. The further you are, the harder you're able to hit the target.
Disrupter is efficient to EMP if it's in range, yet in BTB it seems the weapon rack has less chance to spawn it in thanks to the sidekick (especially in Deadlock).

sullen anvil
# left snow Teaming up is more fun. Especially with friends. But going solo is ok. What's y...

From what I’ve gathered (and this is only from Infinite because none of my friends play MCC :,]), partying with friends or having a full fireteam is 10000% better than going solo. The matches are a little bumpy at the start, but later fine tune themselves and are fairly balanced.
When going solo, I nearly lose every single match and I see that I’m getting worser teammates and harder opponents and I don’t know why it’s doing that.

#

I don’t know the exact W/L ratio but all I do know is that having a full fireteam feels a lot more fair and balanced than going solo where I’m always guaranteed to get stomped on

left snow
# sullen anvil I don’t know the exact W/L ratio but all I do know is that having a full firetea...

If you look back through I'm sure you'll find it balances out. I've recorded nearly 200 games through Season 3 and it's really not that bad.

Anecdotally CTF is a bugger to play vs a 4 stack. Or even a 3 stack. Anyone on coms is a huge advantage to co-ordinating attack vs defence.

What I think you'll find is that a full fireteam is more fun and rewarding. The game applies enough weightings to the teams to keep it fair and balanced.

sullen anvil
#

That’s probably very true

#

and all of this torture was happening over on MCC

#

one night I decided to grind out the last like 12+ games for a challenge- it was killer workout or something but that was hands down the most soul draining experience of my life

#

literally got shell shock from that

#

made me fear matchmaking for like 2 weeks

#

Idk what goes into MCC match balancing but all I know is that it absolutely hates me

Just curious, which iteration of Magnum would you want 343 to bring back to H:I? Since we already have similar weapons compare to the HCE, and H5 version (Mangler => HCE, Bandit => H5, Sidekick => H5 Gunfighter).

Forgable Campaign?
Campaign Matchmaking?
Just a thought.

smoky wave
#

Matchmaking campaign? When the game can't even have games unless is H3? Even then that's still not happening, same goes with Forgable campaign
The H2 E3 Demo I imagine is still on works since they announced that article about modding the old archives stuff

And Forgable campaign why would you need that tbh, modding is already there

Campaign Co-Op Crashes constantly (particularly H2, cant use vehicles)
Halo CE campaign memory leak
Playlists stale / abandoned (H4 Squad Battle? H2C HC?)
Missing rotational playlists (multi-team, community forge playlist?)
Message of the day has a playlist schedule thats months old
Halo Online maps (reactor/diamondback)
Fix/scrap the exchange (waiting 50+ weeks for a single item)
Steam deck MCC crashes after 1 game every time

A handful of potential changes, ranging in difficulty, that were discussed on Halo Waypoint for years. The most simple possible updates - playlist changes - have been ignored for years. So while an MCC update is supposedly incoming, expectations continue to be low.

#

Fingers crossed we can finally knock some of these off the list 🙂

open umbra
#

Wow, that's really a lot of issues.

The game has come a long way, looking forward to the next release. I dont have my full list anymore since Halo waypoint was nuked

Is campaign co-op one appeared for the online co-op only? Or splitscreen also have that?
Since I've played with my older brother with splitscreen and that never happened to us.

#

the crashing seems to be network based, so on LAN you should be fine

But I do experienced the longer loading for each section in HCE and H2 campaign.
And some mission in the playlist takes immensely long time to load, especially the cross-game playlist for the H2 and H3 missions.

Has anything else been said about a match composer? The lottery matchmaking system has thrown me off so hoping it’s on the way👍🏻

analog salmon

very early stages

#

cant remeber the exact words used

#

but not certain

final raptor
#

Godspeed👍🏻

#

I will play so much more when it happens

#

Even have some friends that would play again

analog salmon
#

should have been a priority for launch honestly. It's such a huge feature of MCC

glacial tartan
#

343 and learning from past experiences doesnt really go together 😛

final raptor
#

Yeah I honestly think it’s better than the veto system

#

I always thought a map filter with a match composer would be a decent idea but now I’m thinking it would split the fanbase negatively. Not a bad idea on paper but maybe would be up front

#

Keep the split to modes only

#

I am lost for words at Paimon’s Sorcerer map. They should hire him as a level designer if possible

analog salmon
#

they really just need to start with meta playlists. Some way to search multiple playlists at the same time

final raptor
#

Agreed.

analog salmon
#

i.e. "Quick play" would search a few "standard" playlists

final raptor
#

Yep. At least separate objective and slayer modes. Add in social/competitive/hardcore option.

analog salmon
#

the only down side is that the Quick Play option could become skewed towards Slayer if a lot of people are queuing Slayer and not any objective modes, but I'm sure they could take that into account with how Quick Play works

#

basically what happens with MCC if you just select all playlists, you get a ton of slayer

final raptor
#

Yeah I think quickplay would do fine without a hidden veto system. But maybe the only playlist to do so

#

I think with the recommended maps on the game, we’ll thrive off being in more control of what should be in matchmaking

#

May be some underrated maps that go unnoticed but guess the competition is so good that it doesn’t matter much

analog salmon
#

i should do a concept in photoshop of how i would do meta playlists, basically the UI showing:

Arena Quick Play

Team Slayer
Team Objective
Community collection
BTB Quick Play
BTB Light
BTB Heavies
Action Sack
Team Fiesta
Rumble Pit

#

only leaving modes like FFA, Swat, Snipers as not being in a meta playlist

#

basically you just have a choice, choose one of the meta options for faster matchmaking times, or choose a specific playlist and perhaps have to wait longer

final raptor
#

Yeah. Also not sure if the rotationals are helping. I know they’re limited on server stuff due to player count but permanent variety is better than taking stuff away imo. Idk I’m not at 343 so cant see the numbers.

open umbra
#

So...if all the features are here, Match Composer can be used for the initial search, after the first match in the Pre/Post Game Lobby the players can use the Veto System to choose which map and mode they're going to play with.
Initially the maps/modes will only be those which were selected by all the players in their own match composers. If the first veto failed, the system will show all the maps/modes other players chose. At this point of time, players can either remain the same or have the other maps/modes enabled once or permanently, which can give the veto system more combination to make for the lobby.
The only gripe is that due to the match lobby almost always being held up, the match composer for this method has a higher chance being used as a filter/reference for the veto system only.
Again, this is just brainstorming. Any thoughts on this?

"So they're ready to go when they join"

Good for you then.
But sometimes when joined in the middle of the match, it'll show the 10s death screen of the previous person who left.

Thanks.

#

Maybe I should drag my challenge idea post to here for the discussion.🤔

analog salmon
#

really just need some degree of player choice. Doesn't need to be complicated. The composer makes up for the lack of veto. Neither and nothing to replace them is just such a huge regression in the matchmaking experience.

#

the challenge I assume is getting it to work with SBMM

#

since MCC has basically no SBMM at this point
