Make HEAVIES stay. Ask 343 to!

A sad day is about to occur, a terrible day. Tommarow at some hour one of the best playlists in Halo 4’s history will be gone [for now]. For those who do not know what Heavies is let me give you a small history lesson.

1-Vehicles have always been a big part of Halo CE. Getting a Lan party together and having Tanks on Sidewinder, or Hogs blasting by on Blood Gulch was great.

2-Then Halo 2 comes and a few years down it’s life Bungie creates one of the best game modes ever “Gulch Wars” For those who remember the good ol’ days. You know Gulch Wars, Tanks, Gauss Hogs, Vehicles, Rockets. Was very popular and people tended to love it.

3-Then sometime around in Halo 3 Bungie added Heavies in Halo 3, again the people loved Heavies in Halo 3. Sandtrap heavies was the bomb.

4-Later on Reach comes out and as history would dictate. Bungie added Heavies in Halo Reach. Again with a huge popularity between folks.

5-343i changed this by making it 6v6. However the fact remains it was a good move and 6v6 ended up working fairly well. But what can we gain from this little history lesson

HEAVIES IS A GOOD, WELL LOVES, AND GREAT HALO GAME MODE.

I would say 343i should do one of two things. Either one I think would be good with most Halo fans.

A: Add Heavies as a permanent playlist with more modes and updates. Forge maps, CTF, Classic Heavies, So on. Keep it 6v6.

B: Add Heavies in Big Team Battle as they did with Halo 3/Reach. With a few versions (Infinity Heavies, Classic Heavies, CTF Heavies)

I do think if enough people tell 343i how much Heavies is worth keeping it may come back soon. It’s worth it. If Action Sack can stay I don’t see why Heavies can’t stay.

I do welcome the 12 player FFA they got coming. Yet Heavies should return. It’s one of Halo’s oldest and best game modes.

Question: Did they ever get around to fixing the health issue of vehicles in Halo 4, or is everything still made out of cardboard?

Sniper rifles can still destroy tanks.

I think the ‘weaker vehicles’ is actually what makes heavies so fun. Obviously it’s still a pretty big advantage to get in vehicles, but it’s not overkill. Heavies in H4 actually has a very nice balance with all the power weapons and vehicles.

I think 343 stopped caring about H4 and are putting all resources into H5 (which is okay I guess) to the point where they don’t even take care of their current customers (DLC owners).

I absolutely vote to keep heavies and ditch Team Throwdown for DLC playlist.

Definitely agree with ya there

Almost any weapon can destroy a tank. I’m wondering if that was ever changed?

I agree the weaker vehicles really worked in this gametype. I wasn’t a fan of heavies in H3 or Reach, but in H4 it is really fun. They should add heavie flag too. Make it so you can drive with the flag.

I do think heavies should be its own playlist and not mixed in with BTB because heavies will get voted the most.

It is unbelievable sad that Heavies is gone. Today I started playing BTB but it was only annoying. For some reason the people playing Heavies stayed, even if the game was unbalanced. The 5 games of BTB I tried today (4 JIPs) was so annoying. The last one on Vortex we were 3 againt 8.

Please bring Heavies back!

Yes I really want heavies to return. 343 hear what we want and bring heavies back

11

I agree my favorite mode bring it back!!

There’s no need to bring back heavies as BTB is already heavies
