1 of the biggest reasons why my friends and I quit playing Halo Infinite years ago. We recognized the matchmaking system was manipulative both in ranked and social. Therefore we came to the conclusion "What's the point in putting in the time getting better at the game when the game punishes us as we try to get better."
Yeah I haven’t played social in years because I’d literally get the worst of the worst teammates. Like 3 players all going 1-20 and I’m dropping 45 kills and still lose 90% of the time
It'd be so odd if they would simply find the best connection and get the game started as fast as possible while avoiding matching the same people more than 3x per 15 games.
Also theyve lowered the skill gaps and made the optimal TTK only a marginal difference from the worst TTK with each weapon so the worst players can still kill the best players more often than it should be. So this is mainly a game design issue, its made that way to make the everyday joe noob feel like he's actually decent 😅
the thing about the guy playing on an alt and ranking d5 by throwing has so many factors to it that caused that. I've extensively tested going from new accounts into playing ranked trying to get certain ranks and this one situation of doing your social games in head to head with a friend. Honestly barely scratches the surface, but it just got a ton of attention for what I feel is no good reason. Nothing against the guy that did it, I just think he wasn't well informed at all. Edit: YES, 343i did say that unranked doesn't change ranked, but we allll know that's not true. if I throw my social games, I can place bronze. If I only play firefight, then YES it doesn't impact ranked at all. If I tryhard in my 50 games, I get D5 every time. And yeah figured out ages ago that if I want a genuine ranked experience, I can't go off and play any social modes and stat on that account.
What's even more frustrating is that I!!! HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE 2010!!!! EVERYBODY!!!!!! thought I was wrong, weird, odd, bigoted, misogynistic😂, and/or a "conspiracy theorists." NOW!!! LOOK!!!! I'M NOT WRONG!!!! This☝️doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out
I'm glad this video popped up in my feed! I've been thinking about you and miss your streams. We have been out of internet for two months - long story - but we should be back up in February and hopefully can pop into streams again! I hope you're doing well! You look great and nice streaming setup.
I have a theory that this game will even affect your aim magnetism and make you shoot blanks sometimes if you play too good and it wants you to lose. So many games where my aim will be on point then the very next game I can’t hit a shot.
I will definitely second this. I have 1500 hours and I for sure know that my guaranteed win games feel better in terms of hit reg than my guaranteed losses.
I know this exactly, so ranked swat was a thing for awhile when I started playing it my friends and me dominated and for the rest of Halo 5s lifespan I could not find a swat game
Had to make a smurf so I could play BTB with my friends without it ruining the lobby. I just wanna do stunts in warthogs in BTB why do I have to play that as sweaty as I play ranked when I just want to have goofy fun with kids that don't always play Halo
there will be nothing that can change their trajectory unless there is competition that breaks their practices. So if u wanna beat them develop a game that is better than theirs and have better player retention. Gaming in 2025 is dead. Stop playing and just start working to making a better game than these triple A studios.
You can literally feel the matches in Halo infinite where the system is gonna give you a win or loss. The game feels rigged so much of the time. Also getting like 6 or 7 CSR for a win then minus 10 or 11 for a loss is so unfair.
Is there a way to manipulate it in our favor? Like win a few in a row... then log off for a few minutes or hours to "reset" the algorithm? Then log back in for a fair match?
"You just gotta shut your brain off and not take it seriously" I feel like SOMEONE has been telling you that for years. Can't imagine who. 😆 Just focus on highlights, or k/d for yourself.
And they have challenges like win 3 matches, get killing sprees and play 8 matches these SOB's just want to waste all your free time. The whole system is designed to waste your valuable time in your life how psychotic and dumb its really like mental abuse just playing these systems.
Yepp, so i was one of the top players and i would always have to carry the worst players in the world against good players and i was still winning but it wasnt fun anymore, i had to sweat to make up the whole team, i got many vids and pics of this. Then because i kept winning i no longer could get games unless i was with a mate, i gave up. I use to rival mint blitz all the time, called him quit blitz because he would quit matches but i moved on from halo especially being in the oce region who already has longer que times, it was ridiculous and my time was not respected.
Left a similar comment on mintz video but I may as well say it on this too. Pattern I’ve started to notice and hopefully I’m not alone, losing matches you had a higher chance of winning puts you against harder and harder teams. I swear the system gets convinced you don’t belong at that rank. Case in point I lost a few ranked snipes games that halo tracker said I should’ve won. Immediately after those losses got multiple games with unranked teammates against people much higher or 4 stacks. It’s demoralizing and feels like you’re locked into the system throwing or giving you a layup instead of actually feeling like you’re improving.
Snipedown was saying this years ago…lol crazy man…so sad…this and micro transactions have ruined halo for me…had to start playing other things to get my chill on after work
High level gaming is the only area I have seen where the best of the best get upset they can't destroy low and intermediate skill players over and over all day. Blows my mind. It's like the NBA and College teams being upset they never get matched with middle school girls teams... Gaming will never feel like it did when you were 15 if you are 30. There are now thousands of people working at making a business out of gaming. If you don't like it go do something else. I can't imagine whining so much.. you do know people still work in coal mines right? If you have managed to make a living out of this that's amazing but why do you think it should be easy everyday.
i just can't stand the massive cartoonish outline on players, i wish if you turned your setting to no outline, you didn't have one and no one you see has one either.
They are fake. When halo 1 came out it was projectile now its hit graph which means the shots dont shoot and hit targets you get an algorithm on a mesh screen that registers like duck hunter because theres no other way to stream data like on lan. Really sad stuff😅
mints blits is years behind in noticing where multiplayer is. kinda crazy since he only plays halo cause that was the first franchise to do it outside of call of duty. i kid you not its been atleast 5+ years now since we had the social part in our multiplayer games
guess now a days your always playing against the system/ skilled based matchmaking and the competitive games always put you in a disadvantage making you purposely lose man i heard cod is a lot worse then halo in cod they go as a far as damage skill based the better you are less damage your bullets do
It was 27 games in a row for that halo 3 50… good times
I am so burnt out, I'm tired of the games needing me to give 110%. Just let me sit back and turn my brain off.

back in the original modernwarfare 2 my highschool squad had a more than 150 game winstreak. Good luck doing that today.

Firefight does affect ranked on a new account, tried it myself.
The pros have a huge Community to play custom games with and they rarely play online

When HEADSETS stopped coming with the console . That’s when things changed in my opinion
I have a theory that this game will even affect your aim magnetism and make you shoot blanks sometimes if you play too good and it wants you to lose. So many games where my aim will be on point then the very next game I can’t hit a shot.

This is why I stopped playing CoD as well. The matchmaking is beyond rigged over there
All games are doing this now unfortunately. CoD, Halo, Fortnite, even Marvel Rivals have these awful matchmaking practices

I’m burnt out, I’m stuck at p6 dimond 1
I'm very tired out of this game, just trying to get a decent game is a challenge.
YAY, I knew there was a reason I loose and it wasn't because I suck 😂😂 Bring us back to 360 days
Is there a way to manipulate it in our favor? Like win a few in a row... then log off for a few minutes or hours to "reset" the algorithm? Then log back in for a fair match?

QUIT SPENDING MONEY AFTER THE PURCHASE on all games....gamers are killing the industry- we gave them a reason even more to be greedy!
I am not just burnt out lol I left months ago
i just can't stand the massive cartoonish outline on players, i wish if you turned your setting to no outline, you didn't have one and no one you see has one either.

Na the major problem is the GAMERS!!!!! keep buying game drip they'll keep producing sheets games... .
guess now a days your always playing against the system/ skilled based matchmaking and the competitive games always put you in a disadvantage making you purposely lose man i heard cod is a lot worse then halo in cod they go as a far as damage skill based the better you are less damage your bullets do
gah damn Halo infinite looks bad. looks like fortnite or some shit smh
Wokeness, DEI, and feelings > logic are the three top reasons
Look at Halo's development team. Online gaming is still alive and great with real developers not these woke cess pools you call 343
