Bring back the 1-50 rankings and make different Divisions (Read big paragraph below for what I mean)
Bring back Clans and Ladders. Clans allowed players to easily meet and make new friends online. I am sure alot of people agree that this should be brought back. What I mean by Clan Ladders, is add a separate playlist from Ranked and Social that can only be accessible when you are in a Clan. This would allow competitive players to play for bragging rights. The different playlists in this category would include 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4’s. All of which have different ladders which reset each month or something.
Possibly bring back Button Combo’s. Although this was a glitch in Halo 2, it added another skill aspect to the multiplayer. It gave Halo 2 a little X-factor for skilled players. Allowing them to pull off kills they normally wouldn’t be able to get.
Bring back the 1-50 ranking system. But also make Divisions. So you are always trying your hardest to improve and get to the best Division you can. For example, say we have 5 Divisions. The bottom 2 Divisions would be for Casual Gamers who don’t try hard. The third Division would be for the somewhat serious players. While the top 2 Divisions would be for Competitive Gamers. You might be wondering, why bring in the 1-50 ranking system, if you have different Divisions. This ensures that players who have been playing for a while won’t play against players who are playing their first match. Also everyone wants to get their level 50 :D. Basically the range for the ranking system would be every 5 ranks or so. So for example, from ranks 5-10 they would have 5 different divisions depending on your skill. Same goes for ranks 10-15 and so on. Rank levels 1-5 should be an Open Division. similar to placement matches like Blizzard has done with Starcraft 2. This idea would give the game that Competitive and Casual feel at the same time. Because players would have to stay on their toes to stay in the top Division. It would also allow the Casual players to get their level 50’s without having to deal with “Try-Hards”. Of course what Division the player is in would depend entirely upon their performance during matches. As they improve they will move up the divisions. If their skill goes down they will move down Divisions. Simple as that. This ensures that the skill range will be rather close for all matches. It also would get rid of any point for “De-Rankers”. This idea would only take effect in Ranked MatchMaking. Social MatchMaking is just for fun with guests. I personally hope something like this gets added in.
This brings me to my next point for changes to the Ranking/Matchmaking system. In Halo Reach players would get a better rating from more kills, but not as much for assists. This encouraged players to just kill steal instead of using teamwork. In Halo 4 please make it so players who assist get just as much credit for the kill as the player who got the kill when it comes to the ranking system. Also, in Halo Reach when someone goes 15 kills and 0 deaths while someone else went 16 kills and 9 deaths. The player with 16 kills and 9 deaths would score higher rating than the player who went 15-0. Please change that for Halo 4. Because the Skill gap between 15-0 and 16-9 is rather large.
Hopefully someone from 343 reads this and likes some of my ideas, but who knows. Anyways, do you agree, disagree? Share your thoughts.

Bloom is another way for accuracy lost over faster ROF. if in Halo 1 for example if you shot ur AR 3 bullets it would always be in the middle on the aimer on the screen but the faster you fired the more in became less accurate. so spamming was bad but because alot of people didnt realize this the would spam and nvr know so Halo Reach actually taught us to fire accurately and alot of people arent appriecating this. its why you are getting kills easier because i can tell where my bullets are going. Without visual Bloom you need to use your “IMAGINATION” to predict where your bloom was.

Bloom was never in PRECISION WEAPONS until Reach. Nobody cares if bloom is on the AR, we don’t want bloom on our rifles, like it has been since Halo Combat Evolved.

ya it may have helped noobs shoot better with an firing assist but thats it really. it should still be an option for CG. Cod used visual bloom and BF and GOW, MoH, Homefront, etc you want me to keep going. if you dont like me having the choice to choose it in CG even though it wont affect you then you can do this.

bloom was on all weapons. the faster you fired the more inaccurate you were. try it with the Halo CE pistol, hold down the trigger and see your results :). and btw AR = Assualt RIFLE
Hey guys, I understand that alot of you have different opinions on Bloom. But this isn’t a who’s right and who is wrong thread. I posted this to share my ideas of ways to improve the Multiplayer for Halo 4. If you don’t have any constructive criticism or helpful opinions, you want to take your internet arguing to a different thread. Thanks.

i understand that visual bloom people dont like because it can cause less skilled players to be more accurate with the assist and im ok if they remove it from MM but id like it to remain an option for Custom Games then to rather remove completely as i might like to use it
My idea for multiplayer is that normal Team Deathmatch/Objective playlists should be for 8-10 players instead of 6-8 players like in Reach. 4v4 is okay, but 3v3 is little boring. 4v4 and 5v5 would be much better. I sometimes have problems finding enemies on 3v3 games.
I’m sure there will be some BR in there somewhere…
> - No Bloom
By bloom do you mean the visual bloom or mechanic which decreases accuracy with rate of fire?
> - Hit Scan
All UNSC weapons (with exception of the Grenade launcher & Rocket launcher), and some Covenant weapons (Focus rifle) have hit scan in Halo Reach. Projectiles are required for covenant weapons for obvious reasons.
> - Melee damage bleeding
I’m fine with this so long as that there is no weapon bleed through.
> - Bring back Clans and add Clan Ladders
Um, if they must…
> - Button Combo’s
–are glitches. Glitches are bad, and in the case of combos (i’m assuming you mean BXR, etc) do not represent skill, and should be removed)

LOL thats what i siad lol some people just assume bloom is one thing.

Not sure what melee bleed damage is but im assuming somethign about shield and health right?
> > - Bring back Clans and add Clan Ladders

i dont care for clans either but go ahead if but make it small so it doesnt take over the room im more interested in H4 has to offer then what klans want

actually these were purposeful glitches you know? they purposely put semiauto and double burst and triple etc. those werent on accident they even put them in Halo 3 but harder to do. and i loved it.

looks nice i have seen it but its too much thought processes of doing too much math and needs more of the motto “get out there and kill em all” so my topic idea is yours but modified to a simplified version for halo 3 and reach mixed with the positive parts.
Why does everyone want that damn BR back? I played Halo 3 today in Rumble pit with my friend and we had much fun and used different weapons all the time, and so did everyone else.
I don’t want 1 weapon in the game that’s dominating every other weapon. It’s annoying and no fun. It’s not that I’m bad with the BR/DMR but I want every weapon to be used and not just one constantly all the time…

That’s exactly why everyone wants the BR back. BECAUSE it kicks everything else’s butt. I personally am not sure if I want the BR back, or whatever.

Well I don’t hope the BR gets in Halo 4. I’d rather have a new weapon with a different name that has the same purpose as the BR. But I don’t want to see a return of the BR to be honest.
I want variation. Fighting eachother with different weapons all the time is more fun than facing eachother countless of times with the same weapon over and over again.
