in this post i will be going into detail about what the old clan system was (halo 2). what the clan system is today (reach, halo3). Reasons why the clan system should be brought back to the game. Possible ideas for the clan system if implemented. Possible gains for the halo series as a whole.
HALO 2 CLAN SYSTEM
for those of you that are unfamiliar with halo 2 clan system i will explain in detail in this section. halo 2 had its very own friends list when you pressed the y button a menu popped up on your screen. this menu consisted of 3 tabs friends, clan and recent players when you moved to the clan tab you had the ability to create a clan or if you are already in a clan it would allow you to send a mass message to your clan. what was so special about clan you ask well in halo 2 the majority of games where played in custom games (private matches) and where would you find people to fill up your custom games- clans. also from personal experience my list would be full of players some in games or some on other game titles entirely this made a clan list almost essential to having fun on halo 2 because of the fact that all of them were playing halo2 most of the time. another feature of the clan system in halo 2 was the sense of order due to the fact that if you wanted to have a clan that was responsible or mature the ranks would allow you to enforce that. Ranks consisted of Overlord, staff, member, peon. Competitive clans in have 2 there was a lot of competitive clans due to that fact there was a playlist called CLAN MATCH where it was your clan vs another clan and it would level you 1-50 just like any other halo 2 or halo 3 ranked playlist.
THE CURRENT CLAN SYSTEM
Those of you who play halo on a regular basis you should know that the clan system in halo reach is a dying art its very unofficial on the only way to get people to join your clan is if they view a screen shot on the file browser and are interested but there isn’t a very well good way of telling if you will fit with them as personalities or game play style. The only really official ranking is the emblem you put on your character. As it sits right now it doesn’t work or at least not very well and I believe that is why a lot of people consider the community to be dying.
not just because of clan but because of the fact that we have to go far out of our way to try and make it enjoyable for us all and its just easier for us to just go play another game that has more of that incorporated into it then it is for us for us to make 15 accounts on 15 different websites to find people that want to be in a clan or just a competitive group when the game we are doing it for use to offer us the same thing but without all the hassle.
REASONS WHY THE CLAN SYSTEM SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK
Top reasons why the clan system should be brought back. Why the clan system should return in halo 4. The community what I mean by that is our community needs something new without changing the game play that we know and love (pre bloom)and what better way to do it then bring back a mega fan favorite that you took out years ago. New people to the game will think you just did what call of duty does but they didn’t have to pay for call of duty elite to get it and it is better that than any way. Plus the old halo vets will give you a pat on the back because they will think that finally you are trying to make a game closer to halo 2 the grail of halo for a lot of fans. At the very least a but kiss to Microsoft because you can advertise that you have all the same bonuses that call of duty elite has but you don’t have to pay for it. it seems like a perfect triple kill to me :).
POSSIBLE IDEAS FOR CLAN SYSTEM IMPLICATION
this is the last part of the post. And I am just spit balling here let me know how you feel about the ideas and post some of your own after all 343 will see this so any ideas could affect the game for you and me so please speak your mind.
1.The first idea is quite plain bring back the clan ranks for individual players and the clan match playlist.
-
Clan challenges – if 60% or more of you clan completes weekly challenges, daily challenges or custom challenges your clan gets a credit bonus (whatever the currency is in halo 4)
-
Competitive clan placements (reaches arena rank system). At the end of each clan season there is a playoff where top % clan plays for swag or some sort of in game item exclusive to the devs.
4.For casual gamers- clan rep, clan rep is given by completing challenges. And searching for matches with clan mates. Rewards would be up to 343. Personally I would want it to be very hard to achieve max rep (equal to inheritor takes long but not based on skill). Some rewards i would like to see would be… i know it sounds really cod nooby but i would love my self a camo for my battle rifle.
- Leaders boards not just for clans but all of halo. To be able to see who is the best clan and who is the best player.
