The community demanded a variety of playlists, and 343 complied. You got Grifball, Team Doubles, Team Snipers, Team Objective, FFA, Throwdown, Extraction, and now Action Sack. Sure, there are many things still wrong with the game, and there are many playlists that need to be added/fixed. But they are listening. They can’t do everything at once. Be patient. I feel like 343 is starting to go in the right direction.
Points for trying, 343. Keep it up.
Yup and they are thinking of BTB objectives. I was telling people they would add more gametypes. I know some things can’t be done in Halo cause it’s too late but I know Halo 5 will be amazing and better than Halo 4.
Current Halo 4 Playlists :
Infinity Slayer
Big Team Infinity Slayer
Majestic Team DLC
Majestic FFA DLC
Extraction
Dominion
Regicide
Flood
Capture The Flag
Grifball
Team Throwdown
Team Doubles
Team Objective
Team Snipers
SWAT
Team Action Sack (Soon)
What I’d like to see :
Team Slayer (Slayer and Infinity Slayer) 4 VS 4
Big Team Battle (Slayer and Objectives) 8 VS 8
Crimson/Majestic/Castle Playlist Number of players will depend
Extraction 5 VS 5
Dominion 6 VS 6
Rumble Pit (Infinity Rumble , Rumble Pro , Regicide , King of The Hill , Oddball) 8 players
Flood (with other flood modes) 10 players
Capture The Flag (Multi Flag , One Side CTF , Neutral CTF , Infinity CTF) 5 VS 5
Grifball (Grifball , Grifball Pro) 4 VS 4
Team Throwdown (Slayer , King of The Hill , CTF , Extraction , Oddball) 4 VS 4
Team Doubles (Slayer , CTF , King of The Hill , Oddball) 2 VS 2
Team Objective (King of The Hill , Oddball , Team Regicide) 4 VS 4
Team Snipers (Snipers , Shotty Snipers) 4 VS 4
SWAT (SWAT , Swat Magnums , SWAT CTF) 4 VS 4
Team Action Sack 4 VS 4
Multi Team (Slayer , King of The Hill , Oddball) 4 Teams of 2 or 3 Teams of 3
Team Classic (Slayer , King of The Hill , Oddball , CTF) 4 VS 4
The playlist finally started to make sense when Doubles was out and it’s just getting better . Hopefully everyone will be happy now.

All I’ve been asking for since before this game came out is an in-game ranking system and they have gone cold shoulder on that so I have no reason to applaud 343i for the changes they are making.
Doesn’t matter though, this game peaked at 44,000 today. I think NHL 13’ has more people online at one time then halo does.

You sir know what’s up!
Trying hard or hardly trying?
Throwdown is hardly anywhere near being close to what we really wanted. It’s glitchy, STILL has ordnance that we didn’t want in the first place, and everything is generally horribly implemented.
> “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
They aren’t “trying” They are “doing”.
The ship has sailed. No matter what they do the population will not return. The credibility is gone.

They did say in the bulletin that they were going to start improving current playlists, I would imagine Throwdown is included in this. Stay positive bro.

Why should we give them points for them bringing in Gametypes that should have been in the game since day one? The only reason they’re “listening” is because they just pressed the message button on their forums which they hardly check. I will be optimistic if they add some things for forge and customization. Right now they’re still in the negative score range when it comes from me.

My father uses this phrase all the time. I hate it. You can’t ‘do’ anything unless you are tying to do it.
But personal rants aside, that’s what I mean. They are working on improving Halo 4 and I am happy with what I’m seeing.

It is true that they are trying to give us what we ask for, but can you explain why the population continues to drop despite their best efforts?
It’s well known that when the game first came out, it sucked majorly. But since launch, they have been improving the game, and I for one am happy with the improvement and would like to see them continue.
Is there that much wrong with that?

Thanks , I just took a page from the older books (older Halo games) , how the playlists where back then was great and from the looks of it they are going back there , just need a few more and we’ll have every ideal playlists.

I don’t honestly care about population lol. I’ll still play the game whether or not everyone else does. Populations fluctuate. They do in all games. I’m confident that a good number of players will stick with Halo 4. I couldn’t care less if the population isn’t quite as high as Reach’s or 3’s.
They’ve done the bare minimum, such a weak job done by this “team”.
They need a real leader someone to make things happen, someone to get this ball rolling.
343 get your notepads out and write this down! If I was leading this game by the end of the month halo 4 would please the competitive and casual players.
First I would have every playlist visibly ranked and also have every playlist playable non ranked too (social/training style). Also the ranking system would be very difficult so people are actually challenged.
Second I would make a Classic playlist for each playlist. Classic removes all the bs all the OG players hate like sprint, Jip, ordinance drops, AA’s etc. So each playlist would have the option to play it classic style.
Simple as that.
343 Make it happen!
Halo is a huge universe as a whole. It’s a universe I’ve come to love since CE. And don’t get me wrong, I actually like Halo 4 for what it is, it doesn’t have the tried and true Halo formula because of the switch to a class-based shooter (Reach was the same) but I always adapt and I’m good at adapting.
But in my eyes Halo 4 has so much potential. So much potential. And understandably, when you let someone take a universe you love, and the best they can do is “try,” it’s not good enough. They need to “do,” or even better, “have done.” The trust of the fans of this amazing universe is like paper: once crumpled up, it can’t be perfect again. That’s why we can’t help but question credibility.
I would have rather waited until next year for a completely polished, tested, refined Halo 4 to come out, than the current unfinished product. The core playlists we all grew to love should have been thrown in, no brain needed. But I think Microsoft had more to do with such rush than 343i. Either way, my point is that they shouldn’t have to try so hard or at all. Things should have already been done. And I know that games will always have issues to fix, especially previous Halo’s, but it’s reached an extent much worse than ever before.
> Second I would make a Classic playlist for each playlist. Classic removes all the bs all the OG players hate like sprint, Jip, ordinance drops, AA’s etc. So each playlist would have the option to play it classic style.
A classic gametype for each playlist sounds like a pretty good idea. It eliminates the need to make a ton of different classic playlists.
Of course how well it would actually work in practice is beyond me.
> (Reach was the same)
Reach had forced loadouts. In many cases Halo 4 would be better if it followed suit.

Posts like these just make people sound stupid. I’m sorry, but it’s true. You can’t just make stuff happen. There is a lot of work involved, and it takes time. If you ran the company, you’d realize this as well. Now instead of just demanding 343 do this and that, and then get upset when it doesn’t happen as magically fast as you expected, why don’t you make an educated contribution to the thread and give some constructive criticism to improve the game.

if we get a classic anything at all, I’m sure it will be a playlist with a mix of slayer and objective, like throwdown or the dlc playlists.
