When you choose the xbox live option, you should see this -
Ranked -
Rumble pit
Slayer and Slayer BR’s only. I was sick of seeing Swords and Juggernaut in a skilled based playlist in Halo 3. I also think FFA oddball is too random to be in a skill based playlist.
Team Slayer
Team Slayer and Team Slayer BR’s. Standard Team Slayer should make us start with Assault rifles only. Other weapons should be on maps. This is would make the old Halo feel return. No stupid DMR’s spoiling map movement.
Team Snipers
Back to standard team snipers. That Promethean sniper should stay out of ranked games. Online Spartan or Elite style snipers.
Big Team Battle
A mix of BTB Slayer, BTB CTF, BTB assault.
Team Objective
Capture the flag, Oddball, assault and king of the hill.
Team Doubles
2v2 Slayer, oddball or capture the flag on close quarters maps.
Team MLG and MLG FFA.
Foar teh 1337 pl4y3rs.
Social -
Lone wolves.
A collection of FFA slayer, oddball, juggernaught etc.
Social slayer
Social Team slayer.
Social objective
Team objective but not ranked.
Infection
Rocket race
I miss this.
Griftball
Random weekend playlist for teh lulz.
Custom games
Nothing more to say than plzzzzz 343 just give us back the Halo 3 style customs and forge and we’ll be happy.
Ranking system -
I think the ranks should be 1-50 in ranked playlists. Then we should have an EXP count that we can get up regardless of what playlists we play on ranked, social or campaign, and it unlocks cool helmets and other things.
Maps -
We need more close quarters maps. I’d also like to see Headlong return for BTB, Terminal and Turf return as medium maps, and also I’d love to see Lockout back.
BRING BACK DUEL WIELDING
I really miss this. I can understand why Bungie switched from SMG starts to Assault rifle starts, but I think we should still have the option to find an SMG and duel wield it with something. I miss that.
No ordinances, specialisations and other stupid crap in ranked playlists.
I’m not saying there should be absolutely no variety in rank playlists, but we need to get rid of these things if we want a competitive environment again.
Flood/Survival mode idea
I’d love it if there was a custom game type similar to horde mode in Gears of War. I know we have firefight, but this is different.
You get to play with a bunch of your friends against increasingly difficult waves of flood, zombies and other types of stuff. It would be really amazing fun.
Imagine you and your 15 friends, all screaming trying to defend a castle against scary -Yoink- monsters? lol!
