New features for competetive players?

Games Other Halo

I was thinking, is there anything that could be brought in to Halo 4 that changed the core gameplay substantially but still appealed to the competetive players or made the game more competetive, or is the definition of a Halo competetive player someone that thinks Halo 2 was absolutely perfect? Can anyone think of any ideas that could be added that fits into the sterotypical competetive players needs?

Sure, Halo 2 was hardly perfect. It nearly ruined the series with massive aim assist, ridiculous bullet magnetism, and melee lunges. It was only saved by the patch, which fixed the BR spread and also the discovery of button combos.

Ideally, they could take bullet magnetism back down to Halo CE levels, put in Halo 2’s crisp strafe, up the base movement speed to something around 110-120% of Reach, and also get rid of the awful aim acceleration that has been in Halo 3 and Reach.

Basically, need to bring back individual shooting skillgap. There’s a reason why MLG highlights never show the BR or DMR, it’s always the sniper - that’s the only weapon that still has any shooting skillgap. Everybody in Halo 2, 3, and Reach regularly get 4sk or 5sk. In Halo CE 3sk were pretty rare amongst competitive players and worthy of a highlight. In CE you could go 1 v 2 and still win using nothing but the utility weapon, which is almost impossible in any of the games since.

MOST Amrour abilities could be placed on the map and the competitive players wouldn’t mind them. Starting off on unequal footing is the biggest problem at hand.

I could go into more detail on other aspects but it’s been done so many times.
