The Challenges and Impact of CSR in Halo 4

A lot of players struggle with the individual ranks system in Halo 4, particularly those who are new to the game. Many find that it's not necessarily going to work out in their favor, especially since the individual ranks are used in team games. Even as an individual player, it can cause issues within the team. Some players don't pay much attention to CSR because it's too much of a hassle to look up and access within the game itself. They find that it's pointless trying to keep track of their CSR through external websites or services.

On the other hand, some players enjoy the challenge of having to carry their team in most games. This can lead to more competitive matches where teams work together to overcome each other's strengths. However, this also means that individual players may have to deal with teammates who are not as skilled, making it difficult to succeed. This aspect has become a major point of contention among Halo 4 players.

One player, King Slayer 023, shares his experience of playing with less-experienced teammates. He finds that most of his games are more challenging for everyone involved, and he often has to carry the team to victory or defeat. Despite this, he enjoys the game and believes that good teammates can make all the difference in close matches.

Another player, Mario Ball 29, shares a similar experience. When playing with a high CSR, he finds that his team is not as skilled, leading to frustrating losses despite his own efforts. He notes that getting good teammates can sometimes lead to close matches, but ultimately, it's still a challenge to succeed.

Despite the challenges and issues that arise from using individual ranks in Halo 4, some players believe that CSR has not improved the overall experience of the game. They argue that it has made the game more competitive at the expense of fun and enjoyment. In fact, they claim that CSR has made the game less enjoyable for many players.

One player, Nori, shares this sentiment. He believes that CSR did not fix anything and may have even made the game worse. He notes that while CSR may have improved some matches, it also created more challenges for individual players and teams. The point he tries to drive home is that in order for Halo 4 to be fun, the developers should prioritize making it enjoyable rather than focusing on competitive play.

In contrast, Nori thinks that previous Halo games were not perfectly balanced but still managed to be fun to play. He notes that Halo 2 and 3, for example, had issues with balance but were still enjoyable despite these problems. The issue with Halo 4, according to Nori, is that it tries too hard to create a competitive experience at the expense of fun.

Another player mentions that CSR has ruined their love for Halo due to its emphasis on cheap tactics like using jetpacks. They find this aspect of the game to be frustrating and believe that it has made the game less enjoyable overall.

The use of used games is also an issue that affects the gaming industry as a whole. A video from Totalbiscuit discusses how used games can hurt the market and console sales. According to Totalbiscuit, the Xbox One's refusal to accept used games was a major point of contention among gamers and ultimately had a negative impact on the game's success.

The topic of used games and their effect on the gaming industry is an important one that requires consideration from both gamers and developers. While some console manufacturers support used games, others do not. The debate surrounding this issue has sparked heated discussions among gamers, with some arguing that used games are essential for a fun and immersive experience, while others believe they can harm the market and console sales.

As we look to the future of gaming, it's clear that the challenges posed by CSR in Halo 4 continue to be an issue for many players. The debate surrounding used games and their impact on the industry is also ongoing. Whether or not used games are important to a console's success ultimately depends on individual perspectives and experiences.

In conclusion, the use of CSR in Halo 4 has created challenges and issues among gamers, with some arguing that it prioritizes competitive play over fun and enjoyment. The debate surrounding used games and their effect on the gaming industry is also an important topic that requires consideration from both gamers and developers. As we move forward, it's essential to prioritize making games enjoyable for all players while also exploring ways to support console sales and market success.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone and welcome back to forum friday yes indeed or actually for a lot of you this is welcome to forum friday as many of you probably have no idea what this show is or you've only seen past episodes as this is a series that's been on hiatus for probably a couple months now as towards the end of the spring semester i kind of had to stop making it as i did not have the time for it with finals and things like that but the series is back back indeed to those of you who are new to this show this is forum friday this is the show where i ask discussion discussion questions every friday to you guys well hopefully every friday and i redraw comments in the video and go over my thoughts on the subject from the previous video the gameplay you are watching is some medic team fortress 2 gameplay from chu actually this is her perspective of a couple matches that we played just getting some footage of her and because she plays as medic and a couple other classes that i do not play as so i wanted to keep that in there i wanted to show some of that off because some people didn't believe me that she even played team fortress 2 apparently even though we've streamed it a couple times but whatever so what would normally be last week but last episode of this show i asked you guys what you you know what your impressions at the time were about csr and halo 4 the competitive skill rank now it has obviously been a long time and impressions will have changed and so i'm gonna kind of go over mine and read girl's comments and we'll just kind of see if any if anything is different so far then let me know in the comment section below as well as well you know to the next question going to the comments in the video coolslamtv says i love your voice well thank you thank you very much bladesvi says i don't really mind i'm more individual because all my friends play odd sad face that is very sad indeed you should convert them to halo or convert to cod yourself nobody wants to be alone but even still um a lot of the individual ranks are not necessarily going to work out in your favor and so especially since the individual ranks are in team games and so even though you may be an individual player it's still to me it causes issues within the team dt flips says i don't pay much attention to csr because it's too much of a hassle to look up need to be accessible from the game itself yes in a world where i just want to hear you say that yes i agree it needs to be accessible within the game it's kind of pointless seeing it from the just from waypoint or using like quickcsr.com or anything like that even if it's just in your service record not necessarily like next to your name like it was in halo 3 but something like that i don't know in a world where in a world where csr did not fix anything halo players are doomed in a world where i don't know if that was any better shorthand king slayer 023 says while a little convenient having it on waypoint only i find that most of my games are play more of a challenge for everyone unfortunately that means i have to carry my team most of the time to victory or defeat but it doesn't matter it's just as fun also when i get good teammates and the other team is also good you can get really close matches and then mario ball 29 replies to him and says nori that's what happens to me when i go like 30 and 2 and we lose because my team are effing mental alright so again i want to hear if these opinions have changed in the past few months because the game has changed and you know it's been a while but to me in my honest opinion csr did not fix anything it may have made some matches a little bit better for people but to me if anything it might have made the game a little bit worse because the game is now less fun the point is something i try to drive home over and over and some people who started with reach or four you just completely miss it but in order for halo 4 to be fun you have to make it fun you don't have to make it competitive you don't have to make a balance for competitive play you just have to make it fun halo 3 wasn't the most balanced game in the world halo 2 was not balanced at all halo 1 was not balanced at all but they were fun and halo 2 and 3 got adapted too competitive from the already fun game and were fun in both competitive play and just goofing off halo 4 you have to either be tryhard or you're getting your ass kicked and it's not fun csr made that worse who are now going you know they're you're either faced up against people who are using cheap like jet packs all the time like i i i'm pretty much stuck to basically like snipers or swat because of how many jet packs i encounter because i cannot stand jet packs like jet packs have ruined halo for me or you have people just going try hard all the time and getting dominated by those people is not very much fun and so if anything to me that just kind of ruined the goof off factor especially once you get up into the higher csr ranks because you're given team because you're still matched up with teammates who are pretty much all over the place so you can get matched up with teammates who have the worst csrs in existence and are not good players at all versus you know 35 through 50s and you just get on because your team doesn't know what the hell they're doing as mario ball said i don't think it made anything better i don't think it did anything for halo for accept appeal or if he's like five people so that's just my personal opinion moving on to this week's question topic of the day use games or of the week rather use games what do you all think about used games i will direct you towards a video from totalbiscuit talking about the what i consider a lot of truth that nobody acknowledges about used games and how they actually really hurt really really hurt the games industry and this is in reference to of course the xbox one supposedly not accepting used games and the ps4 probably too um and just what do you what do y'all think about used games and their effect on the market and whether or not they're actually all that important to a console you know for a console to support used games let me know what you think in the comment section below as well as if you have any further thoughts on csr now that it's a couple months in thank
