I wish Halo had map voting for all MP games.

Map Voting is one of these things which is remembered very fondly but unfortunately has a really negative side to it as it usually sees the same small % of maps and/or game modes chosen to the detriment of others. This ends up with a very imbalanced population and a widening skill gap between a more casual fanbase who never get to play the lesser played maps and aren’t quite so familiar with the more played ones.
It also means that when new maps drop they either very quickly dominate or get instantly forgotten in the rotation- with very little else.
By instead leaving map rotation to a dev-controlled factor it is actually better for the players and matchmaking more generally.
It’s actually quite counterintuitive but it does work out in the end

I’m right there with you on this one. I’m a full supporter of Map Voting AGAIN.
i kinda like playing on maps on random. It stops from playing the same 4 maps.
I’m all for a voting system for maps in multiplayer. What would be even better would be if they could somehow build the system so that if one map has been played 3 times to another map’s 1 play, it would automatically default to that lesser-chosen map, just to ensure that a full rotation could be completed.
I liked map voting, but also understand the argument against it. Maybe they could do like they have for custom loadouts, where some playlists use it and some don’t. Like maybe social playlists auto select map for play balancing and ranked playlists allow map voting for more control over your competitive experience.
Going forward they defo need to implement it back into halo, it makes games boring being forced to play maps or gamemodes you don’t want to play, at least the the players get a compromise?? most people quit if the map or gamemode selected is trash, which in the end ruins it for everyone.
Kinda on the fence on this one… I remember when map veto used to be a thing, and most often than not we always played the same 4 maps and 90% of the time it was a slayer game type (because most plebs can’t do anything other than point and shoot with zero awareness of any sort of objective play… But that is a rant for another time lol) and it was usually fun but then got old after awhile playing the same maps over and over.
On the other hand random map selection saw most of my random team mates quit because either they can’t play/hate the map that’s loading up or don’t want to play said map, which in the end makes for an unbalanced game and frankly annoying for the team which just lost either 1 or 2 players.
Personally I think they should leave vetoing maps out indefinitely, sure this way means that there’s more players quiting matches but at least we get to play almost if not all the maps on rotation. And hey, sometimes I take pleasure in the fact that sometimes quitters get that long ban hammer hahaha
It has been so long since map voting has been around but I think I would like to have it back again. At least for certain game modes.
