Add more Community Maps to Matchmaking

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Title sums it up, there are so many amazing community made maps that should be added to matchmaking considering there is barely any maps to begin with, which makes any game mode get old fast…

343 and the community cartographers need to collaborate on choosing maps for real arena playlists right now, even if they won’t be used for competitive play. As it is, the maps available are just remixes of each other and people do get bored of it at some point. Hopefully, there can be more arena maps over the next several months like in BTB and Grifball.

This would be awesome, they could even make a playlist and create a feedback system like they did for the Arena map updates. Pick the top 7 or so maps and throw them in the appropriate playlist rotation. This would also be a good reason to have a social Team Objective playlist, so people who enjoy objective gametypes aren’t restricted to just what is approved for the HCS.

Have you learned nothing from Pegasus and Orion? D:

I believe Pegasus and Orion were in Halo 5 upon launch, if they are community maps could you please provide a link where this information can be found? Even if they are community maps, two bad examples doesn’t mean that all community maps are or will be bad.

I would like 343 to add community created game modes, but I think they maybe not do that in a long time.

A community gametype would be the best bet. Easy to implement and test maps for balance. If they’re good enough, put them into arena/big team.

Community action sack would be so awesome

Within the hammer storm preview, 343 promised a permanent social playlist that would feature community game types. No idea where that went since then, because 343 made no update on the playlist at all.

My idea.

  • Scratch Team slayer off the ranked list. Then increase chance of slayer game type in arena by 10-20%

  • Create social Arena. 4v4 Same maps as Arena but add 2 community maps person season which get rotated out the next. The 1 month gives enough time for people to get used to it, but not too long if its not so great. I am looking at you Pegasus… just go away already. Worst map.

This idea.

  1. Helps keep competitive playlist population up.
  2. Gives social arena for people who just want to have a bit of fun.
  3. Supports community growth by adding player built maps. Creating enthusiasm and connection which developers and players.

A big problem I see atm is that the community feels at odds with 343i in so many areas. Letting the community be more involved with the game would help it immensely with creating a bond and maybe restoring some faith. It would also breed great maps as forgers compete to create the best maps possible!

OR this idea.

Create a Weekend social playlist. With.

  • 4v4.
  • All game types.
  • No spartan abilities.
  • Forge recreations of the best maps from old titles.

I also like the idea of a weekend playlist with ONLY community created maps. That would be cool.
