Good Job 343, now keep it going

So, we now know that Infection is coming in the Memories of Reach update, which is great. I’m pretty excited for this, and I applaud 343 for releasing 5 gametypes for this game.

  • BTB - Grifball - Assault - Fiesta - Through custom games, Oddball and Ricochet - InfectionGreat job 343, but we need some more. If you want the fans to stay for a long time, longevity is needed. Warzone Firefight is coming soon as well, but only 6-7 gametypes are not enough. If you want people to continue playing, you should release around 10 gametypes by the last update.

Here’s my idea:
The final update, which has Warzone Firefight, should be a GAMETYPE BUNDLE update. This should only be 3 new maps, two warzone 1 arena, and have a few new weapons, but NO NEW COSMETICS. We have enough already. To top it off, the update should have 4 new game types, which makes 5 when you include Warzone Firefight.

Thoughts?

maybe an online custom games. so you go to play the game and it randomly selects someones custom gametype that the creator decides to upload and before the game starts everyone gets to se the options. maybe hard for servers but would be pretty fun.

Its incredible to think something as simple as assault was not in the game on release.

I wish they’d just hurry up with a permanent ranked Team Doubles!

How was it not available on launch after the Halo 4 slip up (to not include it until several months later) we will never know…Miss team dubs :frowning:

I think all the cosmetics are almost finished (or already finished) so asking 343 to take them out would be pointless. If you asked this sooner, there’d be a bigger possibility. I think we’re getting one more warzone map for a total for 6.

If this happens the modes I’d want would be:

Action sack (permanent)
Team doubles (permanent)
Multi-team (permanent)
KotH (permanent)
+warzone firefight

Cool!

Well, I kind of agree, but not really. In order to make assault, you design the bomb, make the bomb spawns, make the area of planting, code it in, get the announcer, the SFX, etc.

Ame-Wait, ranked? Um…
Wait, why not make 2 playlists-one ranked, one social?

  1. I meant no more NEW cosmetics. Plus, I doubt 343 would come read my post and implement this. I’m just making a suggestion.
  2. I agree with everything else. They already added doubles TWICE, why not make it permanent?

Good on 343i for releasing those modes but I honestly think its too late.

Had some great memories playing doubles, we need that back

I think we need a new game-type in Arena.

All I want is some sweet EOD armor.

I gotta get an external HD just for Halo 5 with all these updates. As it is right now, Halo 5 takes up over 70gb.

great job 343 you released 5 gametypes for this game that were featured playlists at launch from your prequels…

Remember when sequels were supposed to add more content rather than add it back? I do…

At this point maybe just don’t find a way to mess up Halo 6 as much as you did 5 and 4…

Call me a pessimist all you want but congratulating someone for putting in something that should’ve been in game from launch is sad. Mechanically this game works well, but everything else about it is about as mediocre as mediocre gets.

It’s unfortunate, but I agree with you. The mechanics are 2nd to none. But overall the game very stale very quickly.

Well fortunately I don’t get into FPS games much anymore. They all feel the same old sprint fest and shoot. I will say though its sad because I always love Halo and 343 just keeps -Yoink!- me off.

Well, you could always join me in the wonderful world of indie game design, where you have no fricking clue how to do anything. /sarcasm

Oh, and uh, yeah, FPS games seem to be taking notes from each other, leading to generic gameplay, it seems. It’s why I bought CS:GO and am planning to buy DOOM, because I want something that feels new and fresh.

Yea I just built a gaming rig. The only thing keeping me on Xbox was my friends and Halo. Now I don’t really like Halo all that much and I can talk to friends through windows 10 so I’m happy. Halo Wars 2 hopefully won’t suck though otherwise I may just give up on Halo in general.
