Ideas for Halo 4 to 343

Hello, I’d like to put ideas about Halo 4 here and hear your ideas aswell, and hope 343i notices it.

First of all, better playlists.
Halo 3 was amazing with its Ranked AND Social playlists and it’s very dissapointing Reach didn’t had that. Only Arena, but that’s the same as Super Slayer and the ranking system isn’t fair in multiple ways.
Halo 4 should truly have Ranked and Social playlists.
You could search alone, get 3 new and not too good teammates in a match of slayer, objective or SWAT vs a good 4 man team. It’s no fair whatsoever, they die constantly and you have no chance of winning.
That goes for any playlists, Halo would be so much better than Reach if it had Ranked playlists.
Also a playlist like MLG FFA/Rumble Pit. FFA is great but if you want to play it seriously, RP is just not the playlist with the constant AR’s, power weapons, armor abilities and elite slayer. DMR only, like MLG, but FFA.

Second, the search preferences. I can search with good connection and skill on and get a team of warrant officers while I’m an Inheritor from the other side of the world. Noting that they are badly minus in K/D and I am 50.000+ in K/D. It doesn’t make sense.

Third, a mix of playlists and Ranked.
A thing Reach has is you could search in BTB or Invasion and get 7 single-searching teammates vs a 8 man team. All Forerunners and higher and they get Banshee, Wraith, snipers and laser and they don’t go for the flag but squeeze you for kills 12 minutes long. Ranked would, should and could prevent this super annoying thing, everyone quits out after 2 minutes and they get win after win due to no matching playlists/searching possibilities.

Halo Reach is a great game, especially for the casual gamer who plays normal team slayer, griffbal and multi-team who likes to mess around and have a good time but for the more serious gamer there is only MLG, Arena and maybe SWAT.
Every playlist is different with it’s original bloom, 85% bloom and zero bloom.
Playlists are 90% for fun, social. And a tiny but competitive, ranked. It doesn’t match up, Halo 4 should prevent this.

Let me know what you think about Halo 4 and I hope to get responses and ideas from you all. :slight_smile:

50+ KD?

All of these things I could not care less about.
Also, 50+ K/D, lol.

Not sure what these kids are talking about but plus 50k is pretty good.

I would be perfectly happy if they would go back to the Halo 3 Ranking system…their motive to go away from it in the first place was because of buying 50s, host booting, cheating, etc…but people are going to find out how to cheat in any game…it sucks, but its the truth. I think they should stick to a “competitive” ranking system like halo 2/3 had and just do a better job of banning those who do cheat…their probably isnt many cheaters in halo reach because no one really has a motive in reach. The prestigiousness of a general in halo 3 completely overtakes a general in reach…Stick with the competitive “Halo” style and steer away from the non-competitive “Call of Duty style” and 343 will have a lot of happy gamers.

the only thing bothering about halo 4 when watching gameplay is the medals…i just miss the old ones

one thing i hated about reach is its reward system ive gotten a couple perfections but i dont get rewarded for it

also another thing i have to add is i think they should put every weapon in forge from all the halos and all the vehicles and reaches armor abilitys to add alot of variety

and last thing add a sprint only playlist or no sprint and no armor ability playlist

I agree with that, something should do to fix this in halo 4.

> 50+ KD?

50.000 more kills than deaths. Not being a show-off, I never go for K/D just for the win. I think it’s a shame lots of people hoard K/D in team objective, multi-team, BTB and invasion.

I mean the search prefernces make no difference if you put them on or not.

The medals are placeholders.

343 doesnt want it to be like halo 3 they want it to be halo 4 not like any of the others like the others but I do agree on the same rank system that’s really jacked up
