Apologies if there is already a thread on this, I couldn’t see one while searching.
However,
I’m a huge Halo fan and always have been, I’m loving Halo 4 just as much as i’ve loved all previous Halo games,
But like in Reach. The Map voting system annoys me like crazy,
I do like the voting sytem, don’t get me wrong.
But i don’t want to be playing on the same damn map 7-8 times in a row.
For example, when playing:
Big Team Battle, Ragnarok is voted for countless times in a row. (For me Ragnarok is possibly the worst halo map created, i cannot stand it, it’s boring. Why not remake Sandtrap or Avalanche etc)
CTF, Complex is voted for countless times in a row.
Infinity Slayer, Regicide, Same issues again but with Haven.
etc.
With the exception of Ragnarok, i enjoy every Halo 4 map, but i don’t want to play in the same map up to 5+ times in a row, last night while playing BTB, i played about 6 matches, all of which were Ragnarok, So i’m hoping for a possible tweak in the voting system to disable certain maps from being voted for once they’ve been played maybe 2-3 times in a row, so the MM can be mixed up a bit.
The veto system from Halo 3 or the one they used in Halo 2.
Preferably the veto system so i can troll. The power of the x button cannot be underestimated. 
No but seriously i am glad they locked the votes for indecisive players/trolls but i wasn’t a fan of the system in Reach.
Of course, we don’t have any Forge maps this around too. That can also contribute to why we play on the same maps over and over again.
Were I in control of the system I would disable map voting altogether.
Don’t like a map that you get? In the words of a Marine Colonel from ODST, “You don’t like it, jump your butt back into orbit.” or the lobby, whichever is easier.
The voting system makes it so we see a few maps constantly (Exile on Dominion, Ragnarok on big team, Haven in KotH and Slayer, etc.) and rarely get to play what might be the more interesting ones. I’m rather fond of Vortex for Dominion but people seem to love those Banshees.
I think veto is a better system than voting…
Well… save for when I get matches where everyone vetos BR starts on Gaurdian, and we get ar starts on highground… (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

AR starts on Standoff surpasses Highground AR Starts in terribleness. I’ll take Highground any day.
Well the forged maps could change it up a bit when/if theyre introduced to the MP, but after a while it’l become the same thing with everyone voting for the same forged map over and over,
I also agree with the Veto system probably was a lot better, but as i said, i dont mind the voting, im just tired of playing the same map over and over again
I just made a group in the recruiting forum called the Halo Wayfarer’s to try to combat this very issue. If you are interested in joining the group to vote for more variety in matchmaking hoppers check it out.
Yeah… Meltdown was one of the maps I was most eager to play on before this game was released… Well, I’ve now played this game for 3 weeks and I’ve played on Meltdown ONCE…

Meltdown is probably my favorite Big Team map and it always seems to get no votes and to no surprise Ragnarok takes them all and if thats not in the selection Exile is always voted.
This is seriously my only major issue with Halo 4
