Please, hear me out, I’ve been playing a lot of halo 5 lately, and I’m really loving it, but there’s a major flaw in this game that has been killing me ever seen I picked it up, and if its not addressed I think it will hurt the longevity of the game.
These custom game options are severely lacking, aside from the fact you can customize spartan abilities fully (Which is really nice by the way), pretty much everything else is a huge step back from halo 4 and reach, here, let me elaborate:
We cant change the types of weapons that spawn on the map - We cant add bonus points for anything besides kills, suicides, and betrayals - We cant select “Random” as a weapon choice (No more fiesta) - We cant make the secondary weapon “None.” - We cant change or remove vehicle spawning - We cant modify players ability to use vehicles. - We cant force colors on players - We cant apply visual effects to players (over shield, speed boost, damage boost, flood) - We cant change weapon damage - Respawn traits are gone - Leader traits are gone - We cant set unlimited ammo or bottomless clip on weapons (The swat game type that’s in matchmaking isn’t actually possible to recreate using the slayer game type in custom games because of this) - We cant set custom game file descriptionsI know the game has only been out a day, but I think its important for people to be aware of things like this because custom games are a big deal, they’ve always been a huge part of my halo experience, and with all the good 343 has done I’m pretty disheartened to see a lack of options that have been present since Halo 3.
My hope is that these settings and more will be added back in later updates, because forge is only as good as the game types it supports.
:::::::::: That said, I (Lantronic) personally think that the matchmaking experience has been incredible. It’s very well done! ::::::::::
This needs more attention. Custom games are severely lacking. Also lacking are player information, post-game stats, and game chat for custom games, from what I can tell.
343! Fix your -Yoink-!
Should change title to “Halo 5 is lacking” but yea custom games is limited and then when there’s an issue with the servers you can’t play the game except campaign how can you not travel the maps offline? Makes no sense the person who bought the game should own the game not temporarily access it through online restrictions that don’t even provide things that were in previous installments.
I hope to God they give us back the other half of the settings and game types by the time Forge drops. This was a huge issue in Halo 4 and now we have less than even half of that. Customs is like a shirt that keeps shrinking every time you wash it.
Every time I brought this up people always say halo is fine stop complaining or just be thankful we are getting free dlc… it’s sad to think that a good chuck of the community is ok with the fact custom games and gametypes took massive steps back words.

Actually, seeing as that would have to be in customs, you could just make it so that everyone agrees to be on separate teams. It’s the best we have unfortunately.

Limits it to 8 players that way unfortunatly. I hate having to police games, people always misbehave lol. Same reason I won’t touch honour rules.
