There are far too many ranked/not ranked discussions, soooooooo, lets make another one!
However, little bit of a twist this time. What would you ideal playlist menu be on launch day? What catorgories would you have? What fuction/purpose do they serve?
Heres mine…
Basic training (win 1, whole multiplayer unlocks)
Spartan Progession (Social playlists essentially, all Sp points earned here, exp ranks for each playlist like H3 social)
Social Slayer
Social Skirmish
BTB
FFA
Multi Team
Competitive (Ranked, 1-100, harder to progress than H3, you rarely see people above 90. Exp but no Spartan points, to help make the two modes unique)
Team Slayer
FFA
TOURNAMENT RULES (Essentially MLG, designed by The Halo Council since MLG is moving away from Halo, used for ELG, ACL etc)
Team Objective
SWAT
Snipers
Team Doubles
Community Play (Showcases the wacky side of Halo, what makes it unique, social rules)
Grifball
Living Dead
Race.
In my menu, I try to keep everyone, as well as creating a distinctive difference. Social is for your xp AND sp, and keeps people happy who want progression/no ranking. Keeps tryhards away. Truskill is adaptive depending on population numbers.
Ranked goes upto 100, to help seperate players more. No spartan points awarded, which gives reason to go to social, and stops “cr boosting” in ranked.
Community playlist helps attract casuals with something that other FPS’s cant offer
