In my experience, I've found that this game is far more random than prior ones, mainly in the Infinity playlists, this is due to several factors: 1. Unbalanced Ordnance Drop layouts for each side on two-sided game types. (Probability: 50% chance you'll spawn on the better side) 2. The coin-flip nature of Personal Ordnance. - Probability: Changes based on the map. - Probability: Up to 10% chance you'll get the weapon choices you want in any one drop. 3. Trueskill's weighting system practically devoid from the game. - Probability: Unknown 4. The previously know Halo-nemesis: Lag. - Probability: Differs based on your position in the world. - Probability: Differs based on your connection type. - Probability: Differs based on what Halo 4 itself decides your connection type is. (For example, on Halo 3 my connection is Moderate, on Halo Reach it's Open and on Halo 4 it's strict). You've also got to remember that these apply to the other team, essentially meaning you can't predict or prepare for anything they call in via Personal Ordnance for example, and there's a 50% chance they'll additionally get the better side. This means that doing well outside of a dedicated team or clan that can overcome these obstacles is down to luck more than anything else. Obviously there's a skill-based factor on how you'll do against someone with your starting loadout, but it means nothing when they appear in front of you with Rockets/Variant or across the map with Sniper/Variant. Essentially, someone will eat the death every time before everyone else is aware that an enemy has a power weapon. In Halo CE, 2, 3 and even Reach this would not be the case.

All right, I pretty much created an account for the purpose of this topic. For the love of all that's holy, can we get some BTB Objective and/or non-infinity BTB Slayer with balanced maps? Or even a mix of the two preferably It'd be nice to have a regular balanced BTB Playlist again and I know the community's been screaming out for it for a while. Additionally, one of the biggest concerns with Halo 4 is the removal of a multitude of Custom Game options, this topic has actually had over four-thousand replies on the largest thread on halo.waypoint.com alone and I think it's fair to say, people would like these options back. Additionally, the inclusion of the Race and Assault game types would be nice. Well that's my wishlist to 343i for you.
