Okay just let me start by saying that 343i has hit it out of the park with Halo 4. You guys did an amazing job with Halo and even my Die-hard Halo fanatic friends think this is a good start. (They had some major doubts)
RANT,RANT
((Now to all the CoD fan-boys, just stop. You all pulled the same -Yoink- with Battlefield. I love Halo, I love CoD, and I love Battlefield; 3 amazing shooters that are completely different when you see them as a whole. So stop complaining cause the things you are complaining about are in almost EVERY modern FPS game.)) END RANT
Now onto my suggestion. (Sorry for my rant read a lot of troll and flaming threads lately.)
File Share:
First you need to get the Waypoint file share up and running ASAP there are a lot of amazing forge creations being made right now and no way to share them easily. Other than that keep it as similar to halo 3’s and Reach’s as possible THEY WORKED
Custom Games/Forge
The complaints about how Forge and the Game editor are weak I don’t really see it, I have played with it a bit and it feels on par with Reach. Now I do agree that we need some of the other game types back. ie Race, Infection, Halo Ball. Right now the Custom Games community feels weak although it is mostly because of the in-game browser being the only File Browser we have. But without some of the more exotic game types we just don’t have as many options.
Playlists
Okay this is where I feel H4 may be the weakest. I love how the game types are a separate but one thing I would love to see is an ‘Infinity Objectives’ game mode where we have all of the Objective game types but with Infinity settings. Next once the File Share is back to 100% (Waypoint Browser) start including Community made maps into existing playlists say the top 10 or so as voted by the community. And even a Community playlist where the top say 15 games and maps of the week as voted by the community are thrown into a Community playlist and we can play them in War Games.
Voting
So for the voting I feel that Forum Threads could be used and each week a new one is created (The old being deleted) along with an archive thread with all the past Maps and Games so people can still download them. But each week people post their Maps and/or Game Types and then the ones with the most +1’s get put into either the community playlist or into the playlist that the map was made for that week. Now if a Map and/or Game Type repeatedly gets enough votes, it is then set a Static until plays and/or votes fall below a set line.
Anyone else with some suggestions feel free to post what you think could make War Games more fun and please as always KEEP IT CLEAN
