What do you guys think? Link
Fairly good read. Didn’t feel I disagreed with much he had typed in that blog.
yeah he pretty much summed up my thoughts. Giving ranking systems (wow arena, league of legends, sc2 online, age of empires 2 online at voobly) and supporting the competitive community is what keeps games alive
Well, I’m glad he made the post because he has recognition, but there isn’t anything novel in there. That is to say, the problems are pretty clear for the most part but 343 just does not care about the community.
I mean H2 had ranks and stat tracking galore. For no good reason 343/Bungie removed all of that and things like a standard 2v2, 1v1, FFA SLAYER, and Clan matches.
Needs to be 1-50 rank in every playlist similar to H2. Give me symbols.
We need ranks 1-50 in game
This man speaks the truth. With Halo 4’s populaion decreasing very quickly something has to be done to save this game. H2 and H3 had ranks and were very successful online casually and competitively. Even after 2 years of the game being out it was still pulling in 200k players a night, Halo 4 can barely pull in 120k in less than a month. If 343i would get their heads in the game it still isn’t too late to save this game. Very sad to see Halo die this way. If nothing is done this game will be dead by spring.
Yeah as terrible as I ever was playing Halo 3 I was still having a lot of fun.
You have to admit there was something special about H2 - Ranks visible 1-50 ranks that had to be earned through difficult very skilled games.
It’s so obvious what 343 needs to do. Visible ranks and better playlists, every one wants it and with it halo would be amazing again. The exact ranking system of halo 2 was the most accurate and this time cheating is a lot harder so… halo 2 with no modding, standbying, circle boosting, host booting, or bridging? Sounds exactly perfect. I hope 343 at least reads Ghandis blog because it reflects what is needed and why well enough.

It’s obvious to the players of Halo, but 343i is oblivious to the fact that their baby is just a -Yoink- child of what used to be a great series.
