Too much gap between games, i couldnt keep playing the same one for years. Its way too repetative and certain things start to grind your gears. Need this fresh game to spark the interest again

Thanks, i will try something else then.
My go to recommendation is A Plague Tale.
I've played a bit of that on the PC don't really want to start it again.
Edit
Still playing Fallout 4 and have Omno and The Ascent available tomorrow.

Amazingly it does actually reach 120fps at times (obviously in more sparse areas, but still, I love this vrr feature). They just need to sort whatever is causing the stutter for the X that isn’t evident with the S in more built up areas.
For some reason I’ve always been a bit rubbish at Halo MP, though I do enjoy it. Not sure why, as I’ve always been fairly decent at most competitive shooters I’ve played (i.e: Get nukes in COD etc)
Been playing a bit of Halo but getting a game with a reasonable ping is only really possible over peak times in my region.
Halo is the antithesis of CoD.
In CoD it's whoever gets lucky and spots the other player first, which is popular amongst the masses as it makes it so that anyone can get kills just through luck. It's engineered to be this way.
In Halo spotting the other player first doesn't guarantee a win as there is a longer time to kill. This means that physical skills such as evasion, tracking, and traversing the environment, and mental skills such as baiting, behaviour training, and mind-games, have much more of an impact than the very simple reaction time and luck focus in CoD.
Its one of those games you have to put a lot of time in i feel. I have played Halo, COD and Gears of War in the past for 6+ hours a day 7 days a week and it took a long while but eventually i could hold my own
I take your points, but all of those reasons is exactly why I find it baffling that I'm not better at Halo than COD for example, because those things you mention are the things I'm better at than just pure aim.
I only use COD as an example to illustrate that I'm a capable FPS player, and disagree that it's mostly luck - not sure if that's what you meant or not, but that's not the topic of conversation / don't care to focus on that.
FWIW; I have always much preferred the longer TTK CODs, and love the ones people hated (i.e: the ones that weren't "boots on the ground"). After all, I'm an old as balls Quake/ UT99 / UT04 player before "verticality" was a word

Halo has a much higher skill ceiling, so good players can easily and consistently wreck worse players. In CoD, by design, the difference between players is compressed to the point that the worse player can sometimes win over the better player.
Map knowledge, power weapon timing and proficiency, power up use, and teamwork are also very important points that I missed in my previous post.
If you’re regularly losing in Halo then I think you’re not as good as you think you are in all those areas. But I’m only an Onyx level player myself.

Get your mates to download it too, there’s always one that forgets and messes up coop evenings.
