Bungie caught so much shite back in the day for non-BR starts on certain Halos because of early momentum basically turning the match into checkmate. You can't swing shite when the enemy team locks down the power weapons and grabs BRs in some early momentum and all you have to work with are subpar spawn options, whereas the BR is Halo's great equalizer. In BTB it may not be as severe due to multiple spawns, but it still does not flow well in BTB where the couple guys with BRs completely outrange most of the lobby due to BR vs pistol.


That's more than fair. I just know that Halo has lost its player base due to the skill gap. Cod is easy. Camp, aim shoot. Halo takes skill and multiple shots or melees to get kills. They have to get new players in or the franchise is done. I don't know what the answer is. But they need to find something to bring in new players and keep them around.

If you want to keep/grow the player base that’s the answer. I think they’ve done a really solid job with the multiplayer. Sandbox is fun. But most people going to move on from a game with like 3 games modes on 6 maps.

Yeah let's make a dead genre game mode no one wants anymore.

They never should have shipped with such few maps and then how they did the playlists was a disaster too.

What if they did this out of political correctness? They didn't want to have a game mode where killing your opponent is the main objective, so they're trying to push it to the back burner deliberately.

Last Halo I played was Halo 4 I believe. But my son is getting into gaming and I downloaded Halo Infinite the other day. Played two matches last night and got owned. Forgot to look around for the battle rifle so I nubbed it up using the standard assault rifle. Brought me back to the good ole days.

Is there a TD Gaming board group that plays regularly on Xbox One?

I almost missed this on the Xbox dashboard but you can download a free weapon skin and it comes with 4XP boosters and four challenge swaps.

It’s easy to miss, but those XP boosters really come in handy

EDIT - OK apparently you need to have game pass ultimate

I checked the playlist and didn’t see anything new so I’m not sure what that small update was yet. I’m downloading the campaign now

@tactical1- it’s only free if you have ultimate game pass which I do not. I’m still using Xbox live gold memberships
