343, do all of us a favor.

Games Halo 5: Guardians

And leave H5, or Halo or Halo XB1 or whatever you want to call it, open so that you can tweak weapons immediately after launch.

Because I can guarantee that people aren’t going to be happy with the default settings you launch it with.

Yeah, some real custom games options would be nice for a change. We haven’t had anything really innovative in that regard since Halo 3. I’d enjoy actually being able to play how I’d like to for once. I haven’t had that option since Halo 3.

Well 343i will most likely NEVER satisfy EVERYONE. If 343i change default settings it is possible that a average/non-competitive player may not like it and vice versa. And if they are able to satisfy everyone, i’d give them props.

How to satisfy a large demographic:

  1. Add all Custom Games options from previous Halo games.
  2. Improve dramatically upon said options and add more.
  3. Add a proper map editor to function alongside Forge.
  4. Add a working Custom Games Browser.
  5. Add a proper skill-based ranking system to Matchmaking that actually works.

There, that’s the Multiplayer crowd mostly taken care of.

Why don’t they just try and push out a beta this time to hopefully fix those issues pre-launch? I know for Halo 4 they said it interrupts the work flow (or something of the sort), but I’d say it would benefit the game overall in the end.
