I didn’t like that in Halo Reach your guests could join in almost every playlist, it was highly frustrating when people quit and took their guests with them. So do you think that guest should be able to play in every playlist in Halo 4?
They should only be allowed social slayer/big team/invasion.
> They should only be allowed social slayer/big team/invasion.
With only being able to have 1 guest on your account.
They should be able to play whatever they want, not everybody can afford multiple XBL accounts.

Why? What if you have three friends over and you decide to play some Halo?
Guests are half the fun and one of the best things about Halo. Practically no other game allows you to have guests anymore, Halo does, because the makers still understand that people want to play games with their friends. Also, they haven’t taken that great money-grab step of eliminating guests so four people can’t play on one copy of the game.
Anyway, three guests should be allowed in every playlist except maybe whatever the Halo 4 equivalent of Arena will be.

Take turns.
I’m half way, I do like some guests to pwn and laugh at, but at the same time I hate it when someone leaves and takes the guest with them.

Or they have 3 guest and they either leave, or get booted.

I know it’s the most frustrating thing ever, especially when you’re winning then find out that you’re missing 4 players.

Only casual players have thus mind set. Actually, I would say a lot of casual players would still disagree.
Guest’s should not be allowed in Ranked playlists just as it always has been, tracking the skill/rank of guest would constantly be reset after signing out so that would be pointless, also if guest’s are in ranked lists then technically thats an exploit since for example in a TS 4v4 with one guest on one team would effectively make it 4v3.
They are fine in social but anything ranked wise would be very disruptive and ultimately pointless.
Clearly no guest in ranked, but should be allowed in all others…
I love just gamin with a bunch of friends, and in reach BTB with only 2 local players WTF, get this fixed. I know it was lag compensation but come on

Agreed.

Except for big team.
I loved the Halo 3 system where there was ranked and unranked. That system is much less broken then the Reach system. So, my opinion is no guests in ranked playlist if they decide to take the ranked/unranked route. Which they should, wink wink
It should be just like Halo 3. Guests only in Social playlists.

No. It could still ruin Big Team. You have 8 on a team. Some person has 3 guest. Including the real account that’s 4 people. That person and their guest make up half your team, or the enemies team. Then something happens. They either quit the game, or they get booted. Guess what. Your team/enemy team of 8. Is now a team of 4. So that’s 4 people going up against a full team(8. If nobody quits.)
Also most of the time people that have that many guest end up doing horrible. Even if they don’t quit. Your team, or the enemies team is at a disadvantage.
Yes. They’re as entitled to play whichever playlist they want as anybody else.
Also, it would be good to cluster guests together as much as possible, for various reasons.

I can see the arguments on both sides and they do make sense to certain degrees. As usual, the bottom line solution would in fact be separated Ranked and Social playlists. I didn’t appreciate them as much as I did when Reach dropped but that’s b/c I’m both socially competitive but I am a social over a competitive gamer. I really only get competitive with my friends. I like to win. I don’t have to.

With Halo reach they couldn’t have good forge maps in living dead beause 3 guests screwed with the frame rate.
