Oh so I open up halo and the first thing im welcomed with is 343 telling me I need to choose between capture the flag , shotty snipers , and Stronghold. The Message Of The Day is gone now tho , I don’t know if the vote was already passed, but either way why should players have to choose if capture the flag gets its own game type. halo is famous for CTF being one of its most competitive and loved gametypes, why should it ever be left up to choice that it gets its own playlist.
whatever happened to having an actual decent array of playlists to choose from like in the previous halo’s.
NOW DON’T GET ME WRONG. I UNDERSTAND THEY CLAIM THEY WILL ADD MORE GAMETYPES IN THE FUTURE BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY THEY DON’T COMPLETELY DROP THE BALL ON THIS ONE , THERE ARE SEVERAL GAMETYPES COMPLETELY MISSING FROM THIS GAME THAT ARE ALWAYS IN EVERY HALO GAME.
why isnt Team Snipers a play list anymore , which held Shotty Snipers as a gametype within that playlist.?
why isnt Infection a playlist from the start, millions of people adore and love infection?
why isnt the gravity hammer in the game, it was in halo 4. does this mean griffball, another loved fan made gametype is not going to be in this game?
why isnt big team battle a playlist from the start?
why isnt Team Classic/ FFA Classic where you play by halo CE rules without new additions a playlist anymore?
why isnt the most popular halo map, Blood gulch in the game from the start?
why isnt Odd ball in the game from the start?
why isnt King of the hill in the game from the start?
why are there so many missing gametypes from this game at launch. gametypes that make halo what it is.I really hope we don’t get stuck to this lame selection of online matchmaking gametypes in the future. the previous halo’s (especially reach because it was the last greatest halo imo) had a beautiful selection of gametypes to choose from in matchmaking , full of fan made maps and gametypes , with crazy stuff like swords/rockets/lazers only FFA . there was never a bored moment because there were so many gametypes to choose from imo.
I mean warzone and breakout are great dont get me wrong. i absolutely love how tense and strategic breakout is and how warzone feels like an all out war.
but I miss odd ball , i miss king of the hill , i miss infection. i miss big team battle. I know 343 selected only the most popular gametypes to put in the game at launch but im sure this went either unvoted at all or really thinly across the board. You just cant choose between all the great gametypes of halo. its what makes halo feel like halo , its what pulls you away from the other stale fps competitors
my point is that there are alot of gametypes completely missing from the game
there are alot of gametypes not in matchmaking that should be
and I expect it all to be fixed in the near future
however the game shouldn’t have even been released missing all this content. I genuinely feel that alot of the people disappointed in this game are disappointed because alot of the key factors that make halo so enjoyable are missing from this game at launch.
Its like the deeper I dig into this game the more I realize the only thing actually perfect is the raw gameplay and the 60 fps. it feels good. but it’d feel better if the game wasn’t missing half of what makes multiplayer enjoyable.
