Based on what I have seen and heard Halo 4 is not up to par in custom games. it has less customization and options than many previous Halo games.
Here is a list of things that need to be added to the game and updated:
-
Flags:
-
Let the Flag carrier drop the Flag
-
add Stockpile game
-
Let the Flag carrier carry the flag on their back like Reach
-
Oddball:
-
allow options to stop people from throwing it
-
AAs:
-
Make sprint be able to be turned off
-
Infection:
-
Add infection as a separate game to Flood
-
Allow infected to carry any weapons spartans can
-
Allow infected to ride and drive vehicles
-
Gamemodes:
-
Bring back VIP
-
Bring back Juggernaut
-
Spartan traits:
-
Allow fall damage to be removed
These are just a few additions to a growing list that needs to be updated via title update. Halo 4 has failed to provide many basic add-ons to support the custom games community.
Don’t forget a ranking system!
> - Allow fall damage to be removed
There’s already an option to turn it off or on.
> Don’t forget a ranking system!
I think that can be added.
Things like new vehicles, etc would be hard to patch into a game like Halo though.

Oh… sweet!
Some of that stuff wont happen because it can’t be done in a TU. A lot of that would require graphical changes in the UI to display those options. That will not happen. Unfortunately we will be stuck with some of these poor decisions.
I suppose they could kind of do what they did in Reach and release a gametype that had some of the setting we want like no sprint and flag dropping but I would be surprised if they did this anytime remotely soon.

There is still many things missing that makes custom games not so custom.
I can do all those things by simply putting an older game in my console, I want a new game.

All of those things not being in just make the game totally different, I want a Halo game.
I can play a new game by putting a non-Halo game in my console.

Actually, Bungie was able to do it easily. They made it so you could carry flags on your backs, heck they made a chess gametype and added it to the game later on.

Hahaha
"Allow infected to carry any weapons spartans can
- Allow infected to ride and drive vehicles"
These NEED to be done. All things else I dont really care about.

It is a Halo game, no offence to you but all you want is an older Halo game, Halo 2 and 3 are history, yes there are changes but it’s needed.

How is making custom games have much less customization “needed”?
I don’t want an “old Halo game”, I want a GOOD Halo game.

You’re not honestly against customization in Custom Games are you? This is what Halo has always stood for.
What the hell is wrong with people these days.

I’ve heard some things about them adding in gametypes(options to them at least) later on or something. Remember seeing something is a weightless source I know, but they did in Reach sorta.

Yes but that stuff takes place in game. I more mean changes to the menu. They said during Reach they couldnt just go in and add a toggle for bloom. I assumed this would be the same.

Well then put in an older game. Custom gamers want a new game with non restricting customs & new options. Think about other types of players before you post please.

These are things that should of been there from the beginning. The biggest part of Halo has always been custom games, but they are getting the least amount of love.

I agree. I am willing to defend 343i on things I agree with or find acceptable, but I see no logical reason for the lack of customization
