Game Types
A big part of the halo we all know and love was the huge variety of game types. 343 needs more game types. They probably know this and are working on it. I don’t blame them at all for sending out a few playlists to get the final version tested. But if 343 really wants to increase the popularity of halo, it needs the following game types added soon:
-Infection
-Team Doubles
-Multi team(3v3v3v3)
-An official Esports playlist(Ill explain why if team arena is the esports playlist, it needs serious adjustments)
-Team objective(without breakout)
-Headhunter and assault should come back not at their own playlist but because they were such fun playlists, and headhunter may be the most intense playlist ever seen in halo
-Team Snipers
Loadout
The assault rifle and magnum are like the trademark weapons of halo. I think in general they ve done a decent job on weapon balance. Ive killed players using ars, brs, dmrs, magnums with those weapons. So i don’t think that one weapon is all powerful. However in the competitive scene and other certain playlists, I’d love to see a chance to choose whether you want to spawn with an ar/magnum, br/magnum, dmr/magnum. Thats just an idea I thought is throw out for the rest of you guys to decide on.
Team Arena(“esports playlist”)
If team arena is the official esports playlist, remove the motion tracker. Its never been in the pro scene before, it shouldn’t be here now. You need some new objectives for the pro scene as well.(HEADHUNTER)
Ranking System
The idea for this ranking system is superb. However its pretty darn broken. I won maybe 4-7 ffa(free for all) and got onyx. Then i go win 8-9 of my team slayer ranks and get diamond. This is broken. This ranking system is swarmed with unkilled players playing 10 matches and being put in plat or higher because they got carried. Personally, I think they should make it so you cant get any higher than gold 3 off your placement matches. Because i have never seen anyone lower than gold in this game. Some of the people Ive played with, should not be the rank they are. In other games like League of Legends, COD etc, gold, plat, diamond and higher are such revered ranks and are difficult to obtain. Those ranks should be for the people that are good themselves and have grinded to get to the rank they are. I want to feel my stomach drop(so to speak) when I see a diamond or an onyx player on the other team. With this, there needs to be a bar that shows your progression in between the divisions within a tier(Ex. gold 1-gold 2). 343 please read this, I think there are some solid ideas and complaints here.
