I want Spartan Points for winning and scoring the objective rather than just for getting medals. Objective game types and winning are pointless in Reach (credit-wise), because bombing your base gives me nothing. An assist gives me a better payout than stealing your flag.
Objective games and winning (like Charlie Sheen) need to be important again and need to be rewarded generously more than just medals.
Give randoms a reason to plug in their dusty old mic and use team work for a change.
Who’s with me on this?
EDIT: Spartan Points, XP, whatever it is that we get for medals, we should be getting more for the wins and scores.
Yep, i totally agree. Added incentives for playing objective games properly would be an improvement. An increase for winning and scoring flags/bombs/capturing the hill etc. would make the game a lot more competitive.
yeah i hate when some kids like i got 3000 credits and they lost and where at the bottom of the list and i won and was at the top and i got less than him im like really wtf halo wtf
I’d like to disagree with the Spartan points idea, but not the Winning being an important part of the game.
Here’s me saying that people who are bad at the game should be allowed the same chances as players that are better. Because Spartan Points are used to buy armour, armour abilities, weapons, and so on, It’s not fair to restrict people who cannot win as much as others.
On the other hand, I do believe people should be recognized for being good and be given recognition that does not effect gameplay in any way. Much like the Ranking system of Halo 2 and 3.
I absolutely agree. In reach, you were awarded credits based on killing more, dying less. You were never awarded based on stealing the flag, scoring the objective, etc. That’s the sole reason why objective games came short in reach.
Sounds like a great idea, be really cool if there was straight out payment of spartan points to the whole team whenever an objective got accomplished
I think it would be a good idea to have objective games not count towards your service record K/D as well. Often in Big Team and the like people ignore the objective and just go for kills or don’t take chances for fear of dying
I hope that 343i will listen to these reasonable requests. Reach simply rewarded people for having a functioning body part that could get them into matchmaking; games should not be like this. Halo, in the past, has been a very competitive game. Without incentives to use teamwork and win, what is the point of playing a supposed competitive game?
I mean… I guess you will always earn spartan pts. no matter how good or bad you play in the game at hand. The real deal is that you get more pts according to how well you play - “well” being based on the gametype (better K/D spread inslayer games… More flag aptures in objective games… Etc, etc).
Agreed. Winners get the prize. But society has deemed it necessary to give prizes to everyone nowadays because some people might get their feelings hurt.
> What if you suck but your teammates are skilled and win the game for you? Free points?
Yes, and justifiably so.
A bad player is a handicap to a team. If they can win, despite the enemy’s skill and the bad players poor actions, then you all should be rewarded. The bad player should be taken advantage of by the other team, and if they cannot do that, it’s their fault.
I don’t think Spartan points will work like cRs, I think your playing style will earn you more sP, depending on what you do. The new system of obtaining upgrades and weapons wouldn’t probably work if you got a tiny amount sPs. But I do like your idea, it would just have to be balanced so people that lose can still operate smoothly and buy a reasonable amount of features available in the game, the ones that win will just be able to thrive on their winnings and separate themselves from the ones that constantly lose.
