Fair play, I was regretting not buying the 25 level boost with the BP but since they’ve upped the XP per game I’ve shot up by using double XP tokens. Think I’ll be level 100 in a month or so.

I'm level 14-15, played 16 hours, but never really focused on the challenges except for Fiesta event. I also never used or paid for any type of boost.

Im only level 27. Have about 30 hours played more or less.
Hate how long it takes for new challenges to pop up sometimes. Did all my available challenges yesterday minus one and more never popped up.

Not had that issue yet pal, luckily mine have always switched out immediately after I’ve completed them.
Only got 2 more weeklys to complete this week. Luckily I’ve had good challenges (play BTB, play quick play, play ranked, get headshots, get kills etc).

The ultimate weekly is to win 17 PvP games in case anyone is wondering.

80 hours in and I'm still discovering new medals. Today it's BOOM BLOCK. Few days ago I had WINDSHIED WHIPER but I have no idea what you need to do to get it.

On halo there is no advantage outside of being able to turn around quicker when it comes to Mous/KB. Thats the issue a lot of PC players including myself are actually having is the huge advantage Console/Controller players have right now.
And there is no fix for console sticky aim and wont be for PC players.
It has been tested and shown with tons of evidence of how bad the aiming is on PC with Mouse/KB vs controller.
Please stop with the hyperbole BS. There's even people using CHronus Zen which is basically cheating and hard to detect on console servers.

I'd prefer Bots in both. Lopsided teams is never fun.

There is basically no counter to having a bot on your team in slayer though. Its a free 15+ kills to the enemy team.
Usually in Halo, the team with only 3 players have a slight advantage in slayer if they play smart. Less targets for one team (less chances to score), more for the other.
Now for objective modes you completly are screwed with less players - so ide still keep the bots there.

You get the "Windshield wiper" medal when you kill someone who is in the process of highjacking a vehicle either yours or a team mate80 hours in and I'm still discovering new medals. Today it's BOOM BLOCK. Few days ago I had WINDSHIED WHIPER but I have no idea what you need to do to get it.

Yup. I just back out now when a bot is put on my team. Fuckin bots going 0 - 9, 1 - 15, or whatever is a joke.
At least when Gears had bots, they were insanity difficulty and would take your head off if they had a sniper or boltok lol. There was nothing sweet about those bots

My friends switched to controller and they are performing much better, while I'm decent with M&K I fail hard on Halo

Seems I either get ~40 or ~130, so looks like some matches are in Australia and some are in Asia going by the region and pings in pubg

Does anyone here have a crash problem? It started to crash recently, after the xp update? It seems to have happened to quite a few people on reddit as well.

When the announcer says that the enemy team is nearing victory in ranked Slayer:
I like this game so much. I even put a stupid weapon charm. A thing that I hate in every other game but somehow in Infinite it doesn't even bother me.
We won

Won 5 ranked matches in a row last night and didn't move up a single bit. Not just didn't move up to another rank, the xp bar didn't even move. Seems I'll be stuck on Diamond 1 forever since they're just giving me no opportunity to move up.

I think they just need to make them more challenging.

It's not just PC. Had it lock up twice last night on SX. Did not happen prior to the latest update.

I got my first running wild medal (15 kills in one life)
Well I got 17 before dying, in big team battle too surprisingly, a mode I'm not too great at usually.

Bots can also be pretty damn scary in the right circumstance. The other night we had one who kept going for the needler and racked up 12 kills by the end

you are literally at a bigger disadvantage if you have 3 players + 1 bot vs 4 players than 3 players vs 4 players.
in Slayer it's all about killing and surviving. a bot can be kill farmed by the enemy team because bots are stupid as fuck. therefore every bot on your team is a burden not a help

It's based off your performance mostly. I've found that if I win and my kd is good I'll go up a significant amount and if I lose but go well I won't lose any. How it works most of the time anyway.

I hope this is a temporary thing. Let's wait for an update then.

Not that then as I'm going consistently positive KDA and 1-2 finish on the scoreboard.
Also interesting that one of the guys I play with is also on Series X and his team lists page shows the team MMR but mine doesn't.
IDappa

Yeah I don't think it is consistent it's just what I've noticed when I go up in rank.
The only place I've seen the team mmr is the after match report and you go to the team line up tab.

Yeah I get it. I mostly play BTB, but I think they could work in Slayer if they made them more challenging.

Yeah it's not there for me but is for him, sent each other photos of the screen on our tvs and it's just not there on mine unfortunately. Seems most of the matches we were getting put against teams with about 100-150 lower MMR - 1350ish vs 1200ish. Probably plays a part in not moving up when we win.
Also yeh bots in slayer are garbage. Had one go 0-15 yesterday lol. We only lost by 3

Yeah I would assume that would be taken into account. Last night one of the games I played so-so but in the end we won and I went up about 12 mmr, turns out the other team was quite a bit higher than ours.

Somehow won a game of Oddball with 3 bot teammates.

it's really hard to balance bots in a multiplayer game IMO. make them too weak and they literally tank your whole team, make them too strong and the enemy team will be pissed that you have an aimbotting AI.
you can't really win either way.
I had matches in Halo 3 where it was 3 vs 5 because 2 people left my team, and we still dominated because ultimately it's all about being good at killing people, and in casual lobbies the teams are rarely well enough coordinated to actually profit from the manpower advantage.
in stuff like CTF or Oddball a bot can be helpful in terms of distracting the enemy or shooting them and help do damage from time to time, but in Slayer they should never be there IMO. I have seen people screenshot their score board with bots in them, and you see like 0 Kills 15 Deaths in a slayer match, and that is just completely destroying your team at that point.

Yes they dynamically calculate higher vs lower in your ranking up or down etc. I have no desire to grind that way. I enjoy BR starts but not the maps or modes of ranked, so I don't bother playing it really.
Bots suck in slayer. We found a tactic that works but it makes for a really boring game if you want to still win. Just follow your bot off its spawn, they're bait and you get easy kills while reducing their negative performance.

I just can't stand all the players leaving and bots filling of social, and also yeah the BR starts are my jam haha. Social just isn't for me at this stage in Infinite.

Is it weird that I found Ranked to be easier than normal quick play? I absolutely killed it my first night in ranked. Idk, maybe I just need stiffer competition because that BR fitted like a glove in slayer.
