I don’t know how many are in my situation, but I am waiting for competitive multiplayer to pass judgment on this game. I feel these things are must have’s for a true HALO competitive multiplayer.
1-50 Skill Ranking ATTACHED to Spartan. I’ve heard a lot about your skill level only appearing in waypoint, which is BS. There is one reason you play competitive multiplayer, because you want to be the best and let people know you’re the best. Having it in waypoint isn’t the same as having that attached to your player in lobbies.
Absolutely no joining games in session. This will single handedly ruin competitive multiplayer without a doubt. This is bad enough in recreational games right now, but joining a game halfway through where your team has been shorthanded in say a CTF game would be complete gamebreaker, Don’t let this happen.
If you have anything else please add, I’m sure I’ll think of more later.
Get rid of Personal Ordnance, get rid of Global Ordnance and replace it with the traditional Halo Power Weapon Respawn system.
Get rid of Binary Rifle, Boltshot, Suppressor and Incineration Cannon. (Easier to balance UNSC and Covenant Weapons)
Reduce damage dealt by the DMR to vehicles, increase damage dealt to vehicles by the BR and Carbine.
Make the BR a 4 shot kill. Make the Carbine a 7(Or 8) shot kill and reduce it’s RoF slightly. Reduce RoF on the DMR.
They need to get rid of game lobbies after the game is over. You should not be able to beat the same people over and over again. In Halo 3 they called this boosting.
i play “competitively” because its fun. I want to win. regardless of having a number next to my name or not.
JIP is a good thing. I can’t count how many times people have rage quitted in the past because they want to protect their K/D or W/L. granted joining into a losing match is bad. But the idea of JIP is good.

There’s not one “competitive” playlist in this game. My ideas on how to fix it:
NO LOADOUTS
Standardized weapons. Everyone starts with the same weapons and same type/amount of grenades.
No armour abilities
No specializations
Reward map control/teamwork by bringing back static power weapon spawns.
Halo 4 is a fun casual game for 14 year olds that like playing barbie dress up with their Spartans. Unfortunately, the only reason it can be called “Halo” is 343 hired the same actors to voice 117 and Cortana as they did in the real Halo games that were released earlier. Other than that there is nothing remotely resembling Halo in this game at all. If I had wanted the newest CoD I would have waited a week and bought BLOPS 2.
People should be rewarded for being good. Not for play time. XP’s are garbage. Meaningless ranks are garbage. Loadouts are garbage. Barbie Spartans are garbage. It took a lot of work to make a game that was even less competitive than Reach, but somehow 343 managed to do it.

I wouldn’t talk about garbage when there is a bunch of trash coming out of your mouth right now.

I couldn’t agree more. One thing I think needs to be changed is the ridiculous damage caused by the DMR. It should take a minimum of 7-8 shots to kill another player with it.
