343 please fix objective...

Games Other Halo

I understand that there are those who like slayer gametypes. That’s fine. Believe it or not there are those of us who prefer objective, and not just to farm kills like the slayer lovers. I’ve played Halo since Halo I and the reason I even bought the game (for mac) was because of Big Team CTF. Because although killing people was ok, albeit kind of boring, having an objective to achieve was AWESOME!

Problem 1: Objective games keep being put to the back of the bus as far as: taking away game types, putting them in other playlists with fewer maps/players available, putting them in playlists with stupid MLG type rules etc. Please give the objective players the same respect you show slayer lovers. Also FYI “Regicide” is not an objective gametype because it only involves killing, Duh. It would help objective matters if you would reward people for actually playing the objective more than killing people in an objective game. Isn’t that what all those slayer gametypes are for?

Problem 2: Where the heck is Big Team Objective?

It has been in every halo game EVER(except ODST). What’s the problem? Put it in.

Problem 3: Why did “king of the hill” and “oddball” get taken away as playlists? Put them back.

Problem 4: Where is “One flag”?

Problem 5: Where is “assault”? It also has been in every halo game EVER(except ODST). You have “griffball” which is a type of “assault” give us “assault” back.

I will stop at this point in the hopes that 343 actually read this.

Fix it please. You’re ruining a fantastic game by catering so much to slayer players.

The lack of assault is really disappointing.

By the end of my time playing Halo: Reach, 343 had removed multi-flag and only 1-flag ctf remained… get to this game, and 1 flag doesn’t even exist!?!

One Bomb, Multi-bomb, Neutral Bomb, 1-flag ctf, and neutral flag would be fantastic additions to this game, and, quite honestly, should’ve been included from the outset, as they’ve been in pretty much every Halo up to now.

I appreciate that 343 has tried to come up with some fun new game variants, like Extraction, which is, by far, the best incarnation of Territories ever, but it’s not so good that it should come at the cost of those playtypes I just listed…

Bomb can clearly be introduced into this game, as Grifball acts as a defacto bomb, and it shouldn’t be hard to do round based flag captures, either, which would allow 1 flag. So… please, give us what we’ve always had.

I personally think that there’s too many playlists as it stands.

I can understand that its frustrating you can’t play the objective games you want, but making more playlists would only exasperate population problems.

I do think that Big Team Objectives should be options in the Big Team matchmaking, but Team Objectives needs to stay as it is.

Though Free for All, needs to have King of the Hill and Oddball like it used to, and I think they should just put Regicide as an option within Free for All.

Assault should come back and placed in Big Team, and extraction should be put there as well.

  1. Rename Big Team Infinity Slayer to Big Team Battle and have it contain both slayer and objective game types like it should.
  2. Return Team Objective to 5v5. Also the possibility of using Grifball to recreate Assault exists and I think 343i should explore that.
  3. Add 1 Flag to CTF
  4. Add Multi-Flag to Multi-Team
