Last night I played War Games for probably 3 hours straight, which I think is the longest I’ve played since launch (usually I quit in frustrations saying ‘**** this game’).
When it comes down to it, all this game needs to jump from a 7/10 to a 9/10 is a few minor tweaks in the Multiplayer sandbox and the playlists available. So far with the addition of Griffball and Community Forge this game has really been shining IMO. I love the new Griffball, I think there is a lot of strategy in 343’s version. I also really enjoy the Community Playlist, it’s refreshing. All 343 needs to do now is add a classic playlist with no loadouts/spring/instant respawn/ordinance and this game will have an excellent variety of game types.
As for balance issues, we’ve beaten that to death. Personally, I think the easiest solution is to simply make the BR kill faster than the DMR (only slightly faster), and make the bolt shot use all of it’s clip on a powered up shot. Obviously this won’t address all the sandbox issues but that’s an easy start.
Keep it up 343, I can see this game starting to shine!
Plus if they dont fix the lag issue this game will continue to lose players a TU wont bring people back if it is still laggy.
As for the br/dmr issue imo. Make the dmr no bloom 5 shot to kill and make br 4 shot kill. would be nice to see this and just remove the boltshot due to it being so OP, noobs get positive k/ds from camping with it…

I personally only lag very rarely, so I don’t think it’s everyone…
Ordinance needs major tweaks with how you obtain them and what you recive from them. Make ordinance more challenging to get have the meter for ordinance reset after death UNLESS the player has achived a full gauge. AA’s need to be put into ordinance drops and power weapons replaced with the starting loadout weapons and custom Loadouts need to be ridden of in MM. Bam there you go thats all that needs to be done on th egameplay side just took care of camo abusers, Boltshot spammers, jatpack brigades and brought back classic halo while keeping the things Halo 4 added now get 343 to implement it.
I almost never have problems with lag. I think the people who are having “lag” issues either suck and need something to blame their lack of skills on or their connection just sucks. Now I’m not saying I’m that good because I’m not. I’m just not afraid to admit it.
Now frame rate drops on certain big team maps, that’s another story. Maybe people are confusing slowing frame rate with lag?
its not frame rate or being bad when u can shot someone 10 times and they still have half shields, alot of people have this problem, ive looked at alot of clips where theres lag just, because u don’t experience it doesnt mean its not there, and saying its just because your bad? 2.3kd so i guess im bad?

I like it but realistically I doubt 343i will make this radical of a change at this point…that’s why I say they need to beef up the playlists and add a classic barebones playlist ASAP, they could do something you are describing in a separate playlist, I think that’s reasonable and would be awesome!
People are asking for a “Classic Playlist”, but remember there was thing called Infinity Slayer Pro which did terrible, which is why it’s not currently being offered. So why would 343i even bother with a “Classic Playlist” when the community won’t support it by in large. Wait… I have a change of heart. OK, not really, but I want 343i to create it just so I can write, “I told you so” when it flops because of low community turnout.
> Slowly but surely it is. Nerf that damn Boltshot already, lmao. Seriously tho.
I agree… I have a hard time seeing how the weapons are balanced when you have a secondary weapon that is arguable more dangerous than the primary weapons and some power weapons. ((((Shrugs)))))
it pulled low number due to a low population. It got about the same population as CTF, Oddball, and KOTH. BTW it will be back so no worrys i love how they are going to change this game from casual to competitive.

I didn’t direct my statement at anyone, definitely not you. So you have no need to defend yourself. Chill. There is people experiencing lag problems, but that happens with every multiplayer game that doesn’t have dedicated servers. not everyone is experiencing these problems. I’m definitely not. I pay for decent Internet, I have a GREAT connection at all times and I almost never get lag.

It wasent doing great but that wasent the main reason why it was taken out. The main reason was because the same people rageing about competative playlists now were rageing about slayer pro being too easy so 343 ( first sign of them listening before frankies appologizing) took it down to improve it they actully said this.

Your first statement is debatable, but regardless, it has a low population. No arguing that. Also, the population was lower than all that you mentioned.
> o love how they are going to change this game from casual to competitive.
The game should arguably has a competitive side from the beginning but I believe that 343i just wasn’t ready to fully implement all the bells and whistles come launch date, at least that’s my story. :=)
> just take ordinance out of the game and put camo and ov back as a pickup.
I forgot to mention that, thats what also something that needs to be implemented. I dont belive we should be just throwing -Yoink- away that could be great if develped in the right way.

I don’t agree with anything you wrote about Slayer Pro. Low community support is why it was taken down along with the others.
no what they need to do is just get rid of ordinance and just put everything back to pickup. the only people who like it is cod fans this isnt a cod game and dont need to be made into it any further.
