Hey everyone, it's me, the "bad" Halo player featured in this video! Good news: I've enlisted a few coaches and will be competing in HRL soon. My game has improved faster than a Spartan sprinting with Active Camo, thanks to Shyway's and many others sage advice. Yes, I was that terrible, but hey, progress is progress, right? Decided to dive back into the Halo universe 45 days ago when my son started talking about going pro one day. Thought it would be a blast to dust off the old controller, show him that even us old-timers can level up with some hard work. Spoiler alert: we're having an epic time! I started at Silver 2 and now I'm climbing to Gold 5/6. Who says you can't teach an old Spartan new tricks?

@@_Mutt_ Oh, it's definitely not a "C'mon, dad" situation! My son actually thinks I'm cool because I know some of the pros and, of course, Shyway. We have weekly game nights where it's just the two of us-late-night ranked matches followed by a movie on the projector. It's been an awesome way to bond. We're both pretty competitive, so there's a fair share of smack talk and some heart-to-heart lessons along the way. 😄👨👦

For some n00b gameplay, my tag is "allienord". Had never touched Halo (or any FPS) until May, did the campaigns, and jumped into multiplayer. Currently Bronze 6 but I feel like I'm making small incremental improvements thanks to these videos. One major change I made is unbinding the melee button, I was panic meleeing way too much when I could have ducked out, now I try to be more intentional about keeping distance (or dying to melee when the enemy gets in close 😹)

I hope everyone keeps in mind modern skill-based matchmaking systems (like the one Infinite's social AND ranked playlists) are designed to keep you around a 50% win/loss rate regardless of skill. When it's your "turn" to lose, the game stacks the lobby against you- juuuustt enough that the game can almost guarantee you will lose if you're giving it your best. It does this to keep the worst players winning half their games and also because there have been studies done that show giving players this sense of urgency can keep them playing another game. It's manipulative as hell actually, because most players assume SBMM is giving them fair games, when in reality it isn't always. Basically, don't let it get in your head and stay healthy.

Halo has a very big learning curve. It's all about executing with the weapons you got and need to get BY STAYING ALIVE. Noob players will trade with a melee when they dont have to. Jump backwards and shoot them in the face. Playing Fiesta will help any new player out to learn all the weapons. Everything else is just practice

AI? The game has a built in skill based matchmaking system that attempts to keep you around a 50% win ratio, yes. It will give you games it expects you to win and games it expects you to lose. If you WIN in the games you're expected to lose - or if you DOMINATE in the games you're expected to win, then that means you're improving and you'll level up. If not, then you'll stay around where you were. If you deserve to be an onyx, you'll be an onyx. As punishing as the system can be/feel at times, for the most part its fair, and people end up at the ranks they should.

@Shyway I was in platinum for a while and fought my way up to Dimond two? I think. But game after game, I ended up at the top of the leader board in what seemed like impossible matches, win a match, lose a match. None of them were close. It was either a landslide one way or another. Then I learn about the AI stuff and kinda floated back to Plat. Winning or losing just didn't mean as much anymore.
@charlesmorton9845
3 ай бұрын
@Shyway maybe ai isn't the right way to describe it. Either way, if the game uses a system, it predicts if you're gonna win or lose, then puts you in because it decided it's tour turn to do ether or then that's a problem for me. It's skill based, yes, but if it looks at you, then knows your skill level and deliberately puts you in a match in which you will be at a disadvantage, then it's doing it wrong. It isn't fair to you because you stand a little actual chance of winning. To your teammates because they just get pooped on, or the other team because they don't get an actual challenge. Don't get me wrong I love halo, and infintes game play, but the way that matchmaking is operated actively works against it .
