Please, please 343; Make multiplayer even!!

Games Halo 5: Guardians

Hello everyone,

First off, this is just my opinion and I’m not the voice for everyone

I just wanted to voice my opinion and hope that 343 team members share my feelings on the subject. Halo needs even, non-random, multiplayer.

The reason why Halo 4 has not captured the long term attention of the majority of hardcore Halo multiplayer fans is because of randomness and an uneven playing field.

Gone are the days of “power weapons and abilities are obtained by the more skilled player”. Now anyone can become invisible, get a sniper, etc. and there is no way of knowing what your opponent has until you are engaged by them.

343 needs to bring back skilled Halo multiplayer gameplay. I just watched H3 on twitch (at work) and the strategy involved was so entertaining. Battling for invis, timing weapon spawns, map control, etc. It all made for an amazing gameplay experience.

Good players know what their opponents have up their sleeve" (rockets gone from map? Enemy team has them! Must be aware and change strategy accordingly.)

We need even multiplayer back for Halo 5 or else people will move on to Destiny, the next COD, Titanfall or some other FPS.

Opinions?

I really don’t think on-map pickups have anything to do with “skill.” It’s about having depth, or a metagame, and predictability from rules. Instead of players fighting for on-map pickups, pickups are just given to players. It’s less interesting. It’s also impossible to know what abilities and weapons other players have, which means it’s impossible to develop a strategy around the game.
