do we know what they do with tie votes in halo 4’s matchmaking? reach’s was really stupid because if there was a tie when voting for maps/game variants it always chose the one on top. why don’t they just randomize it?
i’ve also been watch machinima’s 24/7 live stream hoping i can catch something but no ties yet…
Who says it isnt randomized in Reach.
What if wich gametype shows up on top is random?

in reach if there ever was a tie vote it chose the option that is highest up on the list. ALWAYS, 100% of the time. it’s was stupid. if you vote none of the above (or anything lower than the one you were tied with) and are tied for one of the other goptions you know your vote wont win.
I agree I dislike Reach’s voting system. It is really stupid. I hope they change it to making it random if both votes are a tie or at least giving us other selections.

Re-read his post…I think you missed the point.
I’ve been trying to tell people that the playlist order itself is most likely randomly generated; so there already is a “coin toss” in the first place. It just happens before the game, instead of after the tie.

oh yeah i get what he was saying now, i still don’t like the idea because there is no hope if there is a tie, you already know the outcome. and ties with ‘none of the above’ never win.

Yeah, I totally agree with that. Anytime you feel helpless (whether or not it’s true); it just kind of makes people feel crappy.
Personally, I think that in the event of a tie; an entire new list of maps/gametypes should be generated. Generally speaking, when you have a tie, there are a certain amount of people voting AGAINST a certain map (voting for something else just so they don’t have to play X map). So ideally, more people would be happy with a new set.

well, what if you actually want the other map you’re voting for rather than just voting for anything else? i think it’s better to randomize it from there so each player has some hope for their option to be selected.i don’t know, it’s a small thing but i would prefer it

I also hope that when you vote, IT LOCKS YOUR VOTE. This was irritating as other people would spam and choose random stuff.
This was talk about so time ago, and you guys have the same suggest as when it was mentioned before. We could not up with a solution that everyone seem to agree on. It might be better just have the map picked for us so no one would complain about voting.

no it shoudld not, people should have a right to change their mind. also it’s hilarious when you’re playing BTB and all 16 players are mashing buttons and voting for all of maps. hahahaha seeing the votes for all the options sporadically jump up and down like crazy.

that would NOT be better at all, voting for maps is a really good idea. i like having some choice in what i play.
There should be no vote system. I can’t stand it in Reach. It leads to the same game types and maps being played over and over again. I preferred the veto system or take what you get.

From the topics about 6 months to year ago. A lot of people actually would like to go back to the Halo 3 system. Which was veto only. I can’t say I don’t agreed with them.
> There should be no vote system. I can’t stand it in Reach. It leads to the same game types and maps being played over and over again. I preferred the veto system or take what you get.
I agree man. I would rather be forced to play sword base (which I loathe) once in awhile then be playing 100 straight games of zealot which is what it feels like atm.
i agree to dude

Agree, playing Hemorrhage close to 24/7 was not fun. But at least we can quit in this game and search for a new match if the map/gametyp sucks

This is my point. I go so tired of people wanting to play the same maps over and over again. Some of this was contribute to the maps put in playlists too.

No it’s not, it’s utterly stupide. It’s something little children do.

This x1000. It’s either Heavies on some mediocre forge map or Hemorrhage. Just once I would like to play on Ridgeline/Timberline. It’s a shame that map was wasted on Reach. Sure hope 343 can implement DLC better.
