Press X to team up?

Games Other Halo
1

remember in halo 3 where if you liked your team mates you could press X to team up, and it kept them in the room for the next game.

Well i do, and i really miss it. i dislike how i have to exit, and use round about ways just to group up with good people. honestly, i find shuffling through my messages and game invites a hassle when your time crunching against the matchmaking clock.

ive got more important things i should be worried about, like checking out my new armor unlocks and emblem tags. jk.

but seriously its a team game right? so why no team oriented features?
i mean obviously you dont have Lone wolf on here, and team doubles isnt present either lol.

Now it just forces you into a party with them (like Reach).

Bad Teammates cause my frustration in Halo 4, so imagine my distress when I have to backpack people going 1 and 20 =/

3

Except this game you just sit there and you automatically team up so I’m not sure where your info is coming from…

I agree. I really liked the party up option in 3 and always wished they would have had it in Reach. I liked to party up with a team after we won a game and then see how many we could win in a row.

I miss that option too, and I think it was in Halo 2 also. I hate waiting to wait to see if my teammates are going to stay in the lobby.

In this game, you don’t have to press anything to team up.
Incase you didn’t already know that.

7

i completely forgot about that and surely do miss that, for me every matchmaking game i played and everyone in the lobby talked actually had fun lol

times are different now though, maybe someone could abuse it but then again i dont really see how(not yet)

It’s simple really if you want to team up you stay in lobby if you don’t want to team up you back out…

I thought in reach if you stayed in the lobby with your team there was still a chance they could end up against you in the next match? Or if players from the losing team stayed they could end up on your team?

I agree. Yeah, you can stay in the lobby, but people can end up on the other team, crappy teammates can stay, and if you want to go to another playlist, you can’t bring the party.

Oh, you mean Party Up?

They need to bring this, the Veto system, and Clan Support back.

i like how every third reply there is some dude who says “it does it for you incase you didnt know”

thats cool, obviously you havent paid attention to how it cuts the group in half indiscriminately in two teams so even if you wanted to team up, your playing against the luck of the draw.

also, like someone said above, waiting does not ensure your going to team up with the same people nor let you know if they are staying.

the game functions as is, but just miss streamlined features and options.

It was a great feature and I’d like to see it as well. There is no guarantee you’ll be on the same team again by simply staying in the lobby, so the Team Up feature was fantastic.
