When someone stats that during their research they’ve seen that between 90-95% want to have visual ratings shown in game, then you must assume that is a fact based on their studies. Now if you have proof to disprove that claim, then go right on ahead. At this point, I’ve seen the same thing. For every 10-20 people I encounter, 1-2 people say that visual ratings would ruin the game.

People wanting visible ranking has bee widely suggested for a long time. You saw the thread poll asking the community if they’d want “this” or “that.” X’s aren’t the only thing the got a high percentage rating. It showed the majority wanting visible ranking. I’, not going into whether it has to be 95% or not, but just clearly the majority. The poll is legit and has been taken to multiple forums communities. I believe that even if people that don’t go to forums were to cash in as well, they results would be more or less the same (majority). X’s may not have had everyone beyond the forums, but it still got 343’s attention and changed…

The outlying question is whether Halo is a democracy?
Is 343i compelled to do what the alleged majority desire? I understand that you have to keep your customers happy. But as an artistic enterprise, should not the artist maintain control? Isn’t Halo now the vision of 343i? Or is it communal?
The movement for visual CSR is strong. But I completed the questionnaire from a couple of weeks back, and I found the questions to be loaded.
That is just me. I am perfectly fine with social and ranked playlists.
I am not fine with numbers being pulled out of the air like 95% of ALL players wanting CSR.
And then using this mythic number to show that 343i is treating their customers like -Yoink-…

Here are some things I want to point out in relation to your post.
-
No one’s asked me to share any data before but the data itself would do just as much good as me telling you the results. The data and conclusion is only as good as the source that claims that data is accurate. You can choose to believe what I’m telling you or you can ignore it and write it off as you have. Perhaps you may choose to do your own study to ensure it’s credibility? Anyways, I’m not sure that you can post files on a blog…and I don’t really know how to create a website nor do I have the desire to do so for the sake of proving a point with hard data that can just as easily be disputted as my conclusion that I’ve posted on this website.
-
“Mythic” implies that you know it didn’t happen…which I know is not possible. Also, I never asked you to believe them…but if you are going to dispute them then perhaps you should do your own study.
-
Your argument is based on assumptions…one of which being that Microsoft and 343 have even doing a study on CSR’s. You give companies far too much credit. Most companies are not run as efficiently as possible…even successful (in terms of profit) ones. There is a term that I cannot recall at this time that stands to explain the idea that “listening to logic and common sense or a hunch for a certain business decisions far out weighs the benefit of conducting a study to know for sure whether that choice is the right one. Such studies costs thousands of dollars and time”. If they going to do a study on CSR, then you’d presume one on competitive game play, map quality, etc. I feel safe in assuming that they are not doing all these full proof studies.
So in the end here, don’t trust that MS and 343 even knows that 90%-95% of the Halo base want CSRings back. To be honest, my sample size is not large enough to say for sure that’s what the population once…but it certinaly indicates it. If you couple that with the many complaints on this forum, and the idea that adding CSR’s would only increase the player experience overall…then it’s a no brainer and I don’t see why we’re hear arguing about 90-95%. Even if the % was less it would still benefit the game as a whole.
- I’m proud that you’re a graduated from Grad School, kudos. How old are you? I’m curious to know how old everyone is that’s still interested in Halo. I’m personally 28, with a family, etc, and I still play the game alot…Halo Reach that is, lol.
This is the reason why I refer to them as 343 Ignorance rather than 343 Industries now.

My sentiments go out to you - I actually sold my xbox for a brief time in order to put my priorities in order. That lasted for only a year once I realized that there is only a small sliver of time that I can play this game like crazy before the kids are too old to be watching it…altough I have girls so they probably wouldn’t even watch me play…

Wow… That’s why there is such a divide. Most of the “competitive” players come off as jerks to me. By the by, because people don’t want what you do does not mean they are newbies or not that good at halo. Wow… Just wow…
Either way I don’t think anyone can argue against the fact the current gameplay is bad enough that the population has dwindled drastically, probably quicker than any other Halo title. Obviously 343 didn’t do something right and they are not making any efforts to change it. So I guess we all know which way the game is headed, if you don’t like it don’t play it, there are plenty of other developers that do listen to their community. I won’t be buying any more 343 games.
I wonder how long it will take 343 to realize when they turn their back on the community we will return the favor. Halo 5 sales should be amusing.

Every time I see people compare Halo 4’s population to Halo 3’s, I honestly think about digging up this 2000 worded arguement I put forward about why this was. But then, I remember that no one even bothered responding to it. And the same would happen here. So, I’ll try this in a shorter way.
HALO 3 was BEFORE the big boom of CoD and Fifa and several other popular franchises.
Halo 4 is AFTER and now is struggling against games are extremely popular and have most of the Halo fans who left. If Halo 4 was like Halo 3, it would be far worse.
The market DOESN’T WANT Arena Shooters anymore.
Ok? Got it?
Oh what am I saying, of course not.
343 needs to swallow their pride and admit (and change) things wrong with Halo 4.
I haven’t talked to a single person over XBL or the internet that thinks adding de-scoping would be a bad idea, but yet 343 straight up said they won’t put it back in and won’t give an explanation. The only thing I can think of is because they don’t want to admit they’re wrong about things like that.

You mean Halo 3 was before they changed to the Reach style of gameplay that is done so much better in other titles,
Halo 3 was the last popular Halo because it was the last one that felt like Halo.

Ok and your point? They are right. You do realize that this community site isn’t made up of every halo player in the world right? I get the impression everybody thinks that this community is the only community that consists of halo players, I mean, really? There are probably more than half of halo players who don’t get on here I would guess. The worlds made of of billions of people. Not every halo player is on here.
Just because we vote on here that we want something, doesn’t mean that others want it. To me that sounds like you don’t care about any other halo players out there that don’t get on this site, which to me sounds selfish. What you fail to realize is that majority always rules, and that they need to take into account a good amount of peoples opinions, instead of just this site.
And just because a player is a casual, means they shouldn’t be able to offer a opinion? Really? Last time I checked those casual players paid 60 dollars/paid money for this game too, which means they should get just as much a opinion as you should. Now you just sound entitled…

That was completely underhanded. Shame on you xjlm.

I assume you have sources to back up your rhyme?
Sometimes I do feel a disconnect from the community and 343, but lately, it’s been better. I feel that 343 has been making changes, all of which, have been in favor of what the community has wanted.
There are still many issues in Halo 4 that we want addressed. Some will be, some won’t be. I don’t think we’re getting ignored though. However, at times, it feels like 343 could be a little better at responding.
I won’t judge though because I’ve never been in their position and don’t know what it’s really like to have a passionate community criticizing every aspect of the game. We should keep criticizing, but remember that there’s a difference between constructive criticism and complaining.
