I was wondering if it would be possible/a good idea if Halo 5 had some way to have a way to find and join public custom games since halo has always had the best custom games of any FPS I know and I think it would be great if playing them was more accessible to more people
the system I was thinking of would be to have an option in custom games to have it “closed” or “open” to public
so its its closed it works the exact same as current custom games but if its open random players who find your game can join you can set player limit to what you want so if your looking for a 3 vs 3 match you dont end up with 16 players
for players looking for a custom game have it so they see a list of lobbies showing the name of the custom gamemode and what gametype it is (ie CTF, Slayer, Assault), what map its on (along the name of the custom map if its been forged) and number of players/available places in lobby
also have a way so players can filter which lobby’s are shown via
- gamemode
- map
- number of players
and allow player to search for a specific name of a gamemode or forge map (ie for those well known custom games like “trashman” “bumper cars” or “Fat man” that wouldn’t make it in a official playlist but still fun to play)
I reckon something like this would be incredible not only for generally playing custom games but also for quality fan made gamemodes/maps being able to spread through the community like wildfire
so what do ya think? good idea? bad idea?
