Really love the MP in Halo 4 but I like Big Team and it’s getting ruined by the community voting Exile and for that matter Ragnarock over the other maps.
I’ve had this game for a month now after being disgusted with the poor effort by Treyarch on BO2. But in all that time I think I’ve played the other maps available to Big Team a maximum of 5 times. It’s seriously got to be about a 2% chance of playing a game on any other map.
I know that you’ll never do this but it would be so much less boring to play if the voting system were taken out and the maps were just in a rotation.
Don’t get me wrong I like Exile and I like Ragnarock too but I really don’t want to play them 20 times a night knowing there are at least 3 other maps available.
You have to understand that the community are mindless idiots and will pick the most popular map EVERY TIME. Give the designers of the other maps their day and let us please play on more than 2 maps.
Yeah,I completely agree with you. A lot of times I want to play Longbow but then Exile/Ragnarok shows up. It ruins the game.I hope 343 does something to this.
But I also like Meltdown, Vortex, and Shatter…but I rarely get to play on them because of the two above.
And too much of the same map is boring no matter how much you like it.
They should do it like Halo 3 did, where they gave you ONE option…“Hey, you wanna play THIS map?
No…?
WELL FINE, you’re playing on THIS one then!”
The only thing you really got to CHOOSE in Halo 3 was if you wanted BRs or Not at spawn.

Solution get friends to join in and impact the votes more or you could plead with the players in game to vote on a different map. 343 does need a map lockout system that gets rid of a map after 2 votes.
All my friends are playing black ops 2. I refuse to follow suit and pander to peer pressure so I traded for Halo 4 because it seemed to have a far better rep and I enjoyed H3.
Appeals fall on deaf ears.
I honestly don’t think with so few maps available to the mode that a voting system is needed. Rotation is the most logical way to even the spread and while I know it’s unlikely my voice has at least been heard on the matter both in game and here.
Just play on different playlists to freshen things up, it adds a bit of variety to your game and you won’t be sick to death of the same maps popping up.
I’ll freely admit that I’m a poor team player so objective games are not my strong point. I have few people on my friends list who have the game and less that actually play it. Big Team allows me to run lone wolf to my hearts desire. And frankly I don’t see why all the maps aren’t in the rotation as they all seem big enough to cope with 6 to 8 players.
But then perhaps I’m just too used to COD and GEARS where I’ve played multiple maps in each game type rather than one possibly two if you’re lucky.
Can’t see myself learning to love playing one map over and over and over and over…or indeed having to play games I don’t like just to see some variety.
I think an easy fix to this would be to change big team slayer into big team battle objective. that away people wont only try to vote for their favorite map all the time, but they will vote for their favorite game mode to. So basically it goes something like " do i want to play slayer on exile or CTF on meltdown". Dont know about you but i would definitely choose the latter. 8v8 CTF is the best.
They could still keep the voting system but instead having all the the maps equally likely to one of the voting options, make the probability of Exile and Ragnarok less likely to be one of the options so sometimes people have to choose from 3 maps that don’t include Exile and Ragnarok.
I just thought of a better idea (possibly?). In the menu of War Games, have players select the gametype that they want (like we already do), and then have them select the map that they want to play on. After these two choices are selected, have the players match up with people that also voted for the same map and gametype. This way no one would be unhappy that they are playing on a map that they don’t like!

Haha a lot of us are with you man. I agree though, they should at least make it so the map you just played on isn’t available for vote again and maybe reduce it to two choices. Honestly 3 is ridiculous I have yet to see an even dispersal among three options.

Um, no. 16 players on the standard 4v4 maps (save for maybe Complex) would be utter chaos, especially Haven and Adrift. Throw in instant respawn and it just becomes a game of pure luck and near-instant deaths. There’s a reason why there have always been small team and big team maps dude.
Getting sick to death with Exile? im sick to death with the teams i get on every map. I’m constantly carrying everyone and i still lose. Especially on that map. ALthough im very good at all BTB maps, it just drives me insane on the players im with. No desire to win.
