Its been three weeks and i’m sure all of us got a nice taste of Match making and the flaws that bother us so terribly.
343 said they wanted to change up the formula and make it into “There halo” well lets look how there decisions played out.
With custom load outs, to the ever so irritating ordinance drops, to the lack of motivation to play the game serious, to the small quantity of competitive maps, to the lack of playlists that the community has grown to love, not to mention the minor things such as taking away de scoping etc.
How has this played out?
The forums are in chaos, the population is dropping very fast, 343 has not mentioned much to us to help us settle our nerves.
What does this tell us about 343 when they say nothing to us? I know bungie talked lots more on there forums.
Well that’s enough of my rant on with the positives, the game itself is very fun and has potential to be that amazing halo that we all want but certain things need to be changed i mean fast.
When looking at the forums i hear allot of talk about balance and lack of competitive motivation, and the lack of competitive maps etc.
This game can be fixed easily by splitting the matchmaking into social and ranked this was proven to work well in halo 3 or halo 2, also when the true skill comes out the community wants to see there true rank in lobby’s and they want others to see there 50, this provides motivation and self satisfaction when reaching 50 and ultimately keeps people playing the game and preventing population drops(THIS IS AN M RATED GAME AND IT SHOULD BE COMPETITIVE EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER TRUE RANK IN GAME).
The other crucial thing that needs fixing is the lack of competitive maps we need more balanced maps like haven, or guardian, or narrows, the game will thrive with lots of well made competitive maps(not forge world lol).
The balance say your doing well in infinity slayer you get your first ordnance drop you get damage boost and you destroy sure enough you get another ordinance with over shield and the havok continues this is not balanced and needs tweaking, also adjust the dmr to allow more exiting fights with brs around the map id the dmr is weaker there will be less camping and more excitement throughout the maps.
Halo 4 can thrive if 343 gets more involved in the community and listens to us and follow some basic rules that made halo 3 and 2 successful in the past.
Yeah about the rank thing seeing the numbers doesnt’ define the player’s skill but their performance, but thats just my opinon.
