There have been alot of things wrong with reachs customs, some glitchs, and some just bad planning. Some of them are blatantly stupid and make me want to punch bungie in the face, its especially bad with 16 people.
1: You should be able to force teams. There is nothing more annoying than having a red and blue only game, then a idiot switches to pink team, and everyone follows suit. Now you have 8 different colors and cant start.
2: The delay button. This is just stupid and needs to be removed, no question about it.
3: The game should end if the only human/zombie dies. Dunno why it keeps going in reach, bungie sucks i guess.
4: If the settings are one life, sometimes people get infinite lives. This is just so dumb and needs to be fixed asap.
5: I dont know why it was removed, but you should be able to have attacker/defender traits for one sided objective.
6: the Party leader should have the authority to rebalance teams. Nothing is dumber then starting a 8v8 ctf game, then 1 guy quits cuz he sucks. 2 quit cuz they are now down a person, then 3 more quit cuz they realize its unfair. Now you got a 8v2, and have to end the game.
7: When choosing zombies, it should do each person once, then restart the cycle. Johhny shouldnt become infected a second time when little jimmy hasnt been zombie once (initial)
Ill add more as i think of them, please post here, customs will probably be all i enjoy in h4 as im 99% sure MM will suck.
Your wording could have been better, but I couldn’t agree more. Custom Gamers got a fat pile of dog -Yoink- thrown at them in Halo Reach. It’s like Bungie didn’t even test custom game options, or they would have been able to immediately identify a slew of bugs and issues.
343, I hope you didn’t forget about us. We love customs, and we love Halo. Please don’t ignore us this time. Please.
The only thing I’d like to see is the ability to force teams and give the party leader the ability to reassign teams. And being the OCD kind of guy that I am, I’d also like a better system for organizing things. Maybe by tag, or something? I hate going through my File Browser and not knowing which gametype goes to which map or what it is!

Thats almost as dumb as when they removed VIP, it was my favorite mode for customs.

If I had the ability to go to 343 and make one design decision, it would be “Bring Back VIP”.

There has always been some problems with custom games, something that Bungie have overlooked. In Halo 3, it was starting weapons - remember when you couldn’t have most Covenant weapons as starting weapons? I remember that being a common complaint with Halo 3’s Custom Games. Then you have Reach… Better options, but less organized in my opinion.
I’m guessing this happens because there’s just too many options to keep track of, that some just end up getting overlooked. Not on purpose, it’s just something that they completely forget about, it happens. The only thing we can do is hope for less of it.

I just dont see how they are able to forget, i mean it IS their job. I only play customs for like an hour a day and im able to keep track of the problems.
