Great job on the game, but I have to say game types in custom games is lacking, specifically the lack of Griff Ball, Odd Ball, Infection, and games like Ninja Assassin’s to name a few! I also believe that a few features that would be cool in custom games like the ability to set a default color, armor to spartans for games like ninja assassin’s would give a more unique feeling to people’s creations. I think being able to do somthing like what you did for the Ninja Assassin’s Match Making game type in Halo 4 would be cool for the game type, and the ability to carry those same features to other game types would be somthing cool! The use of special weapons like the mythics would be cool aswell. I’m not saying you should make all mythics free to use in Custom Games/Forge but I think it would be a cool idea to be able to unlock them on an account and then be able to access them for use in custom games. I know I would be a lot more willing to grind out Match making games to unlock those weapons if I knew they would be also available in the games I create with my friends! I know I’m not the only one that feels this way and I’m sure adding these couple things would improve longevity to the game as a whole. I think that these changes could bring the community’s creations to the next level, and help the community create even better creations! Correct me if I’m mistaken but I also have noticed there’s no way to look and play others creations through Forge and Custom Games as of now. I understand that Forge just came out but wanted to put this out there in case by some chance this was somthing missed.
I would also like to request the ability to have permanent playlists! I like your weekend Playlist ideas but of those games so far I know that many want to be able to play those competitively all the time, me included. I think you could keep the weekend idea but use it a bit different, by having all gametypes permanent to choose from when playing Match making, and then picking a game type from the list to have as your weekend Playlist with the xp/req boost. I beleive this would still give players a reason to play those specific game types as they do now.
