343, please make sure that Halo 4 has at least a few non-forged maps that are suitable for 1v1s and 2v2s. Think Wizard, Lockout, Midship or Guardian.
Okie dokie Ms.Angel,
This one is for your graphical software engineers out in 343 land.
When you guys decide to do 4 player split screen for multiplayer. Please make sure your coding it so the resolution for the images/graphics on all maps show up for the same as playing a solo multiplayer. This is huge, and i mean HUGE.
Here’s why this is HUGE.
Q: What was Halo built on?
A: People playing on the same screen having a blast on 4v4 match’s or more.
This is where your ROOTS will come back 343, if you make sure that i can play with my friends on the same screen and have the HALO feel again for playing 4v4 with my buds. Then you will succeed not only in gameplay but for the people who love having the OLD HALO CE feel again of trash talking with your pals or making fun of them.
Yet again, If you build(code) it correctly you will be able to have graphical content new and have the old skool HALO CE feel for 4v4 split screen.
Please share this with your software engin. ppl Angel, the graphical support in reach failed in forge-world because they didnt do a software check to make sure split screen worked like solo. I know it can be done. (done it)
Have a good day,
Mr. Hanta
P.S: BS Angel you doing a great job with the community part fyi, i think better then weekly update for bungie.
Forge world is bland. Is it feasible to make a variant with a different color palatte, perhaps night time, and make it downloadable? Sort of like how gametypes can have changes that are otherwise impossible (bloom tweaks etc).
List of things 343I needs to change in Halo:Reach and for the betterment of future Halo games to come (This specifically regards FPS’s).
-
Armor Lock is roughly 1 millisecond too slow as most of the community would agree that it doesn’t immediately work when the respective function button is pushed.
-
10 minute probationary time for matchmaking players who quit out is negligible and not effective enough. Data analysis needs to be conducted with respect to the frequency quit outs occur with respect to a singular player who does not. Simply said I haven’t noticed any reduction in players who quit out in my games and I am confident most of the community would agree to the same effect. To speak mind, a player who quits out more than 2 or 3 times in any given day should be given a 24hr probationary time to teach them that it is not courteous to others to do such an act. This disciplinary action will increase the professional attitude in the general population of the Halo community. Players will be more prudent on whether or not they have enough time for whatever reason, to complete their multiplayer games as the courtesy to their teammates. Lastly it should be noted that lagging out should have no disciplinary action as it is most often not that person’s fault, instead it is usually their ISP or sometimes improper network setup.
-
Accidental vs. intentional betrayals need to be better recognized by the game. Additionally, something needs to be done to discipline a player if they try to damage or betray a fellow teammate who acquires a weapon of favor first.
-
Teabagging needs to be deterred in some way engineering-wise for future Halo games. It’s getting out of hand and is very unprofessional.
More feedback to follow as it comes to mind, nonetheless I most certainly am not done.
-
The Sword needs to be better engineered. The mechanics are not good and most people in the community would agree to this.
-
Why not give out a survey to the community regarding relevant information to bettering the future of Halo games.
I wish that you were able to choose to be an elite or a spartan like in Halo 3. the seperation of the two was a nice try but it doesn’t seem like many people like playing as elites the way they are currently tooled. it would have been nice to have the choice for either and then buy armor permutations for each or if you preferred one over the other you could just level up your elite. the way it is now elites suck. they look cool but function terribly. especially since you can’t co-mingle the two in just regular matches.
> @eul0gy
> only problem i see with that is the bit about betrayals not counting in your k/d or hurting streaks. would be abused to deny foes a point/kill at no penalty, protect from a legit foe kill by betraying to preserve a spree, boost k/d by betraying at low hp to avoid the d ect.
> but other than that(which is fixable)
I see what you mean. I know betrayals are a part of the game so you have to watch where youre shooting, but I just get tired of kids getting their undies in a wad because I took the shotgun or some other power weapon. In one game I even dropped the Sniper for a guy who wouldn’t stop shooting me. He kept shooting me even after I gave it up. Betrayed, no option to boot. There needs to be a way for 343 to detect a player purposely betraying and those which are accidental(ie: you are taking damage from the opposite team and I accidentally kill you with a grenade). Purposely betraying should be instant boot and a 30 minute ban imo, but in reality that might be pretty hard and would cause an overhaul in the Reach Netcode. Who knows.
I don’t really have a problem with anything in Reach except spawn camping and betraying. If they change bloom and AL, I just hope they don’t break it!
One more thing. I was watching a lot of the MLG top 10… Maybe add a nice custom game tag(ie: ODST, AR, stuff like that) for guys who actually have their highlights put in an episode of MLG top 10?
I’d love to see individual Spartan and Elite colors in Invasion. I mean, what other team game makes it that easy to tell friend and foe apart? You’re either a Spartan and your opponents are Elites, or the other way around.

Teabagging will always be a part of the game no matter how much we try to deter people. It’s illegal to have “-Yoink!-” or any form of it in your XBL Motto, or in the information. But it’s acceptable online… aka you can’t be banned for it or even warned for it.
Not sure if this is old news or already addressed, but, when is 343 going to link and fix halo waypoint online via XBL.
I play games, go to Halo Waypoint, via link, and nothing is ever updated, except Achievements.
Games played, kills, Spartan, the rest of the site, and why some of go there, doesn’t seem to ever update.
Is there a fix for this, and something that will be addressed??
Just wondering.
Hey Phat M0nk3y4 here again!
I want to point out another topic that has at this point gotten a soild amount of support.
What I am talking about is Custom Game Browser.
Basically all this is a lobby which allows players find any custom game going on at the time or make their own. Also you can tag your lobby so finding that game is easier. So it could work a lot like the tagging system in Reach.
However I’m not going to sit here and talk about how I want it I’ll let the community talk:
Phat M0nk3y4: An option like this would define the next ten years of Halo. Also would allow for community maps to spread easier.
Conor 419:Flexiblity at it’s maximum, Halo 4 needs this!
A Silent EMU: Yes yes yes yes and yes!
o0MrCheesy0o: A welcomed feature in Halo 4!
Shforteen14: I want to print this out and stale it on every 343 employees face
iKombo: Everyone wants this feature. Everyone since the first Halo did it correctly on the PC. Its time for Xbox to join in 2012
Sisco acendent: Finally some else agrees with logic and common sense!
Chunky M0nk3y4: This should be implented into Halo 4 and it would add a new and very familar feeling that dates back to Halo 10 years ago!

xDMDxCLUTCHx: YES!!!
Atomic Elcipse: Having a way to join Customs/social games with anyone would be huge!
jason86586: This would make multiplayer a much greater expierence!
Killrraid13: And maybe with dedicated servers we could play griffball instead of hostball!
Sacared Jefe: Its about time we have the ability to search for our custom games we don’t all have friends on 24/7! I think CGB would make Halo 4 the ultimate Halo game!
The Papasmuf: Yes I support this 100%! wating for this sicne Halo 2
Blaze 117: Pretty good idea!
King Leonghdus: I hope 343 shares info about their servers soon this could only do them good!

FRI Specter: Yes this is a great idea
AND THATS NOT EVEN EVERYONE EXPECT ANOTHER POST LATER!
Why do we need Team colors for Invasion? It is Spartans vs. Elites, and if you can’t tell the difference between the two, then you shouldn’t be playing video games. To me, the point of Invasion is to create the most realistic Halo experience(In terms of how the battle plays out) there is. And that just doesn’t fit well with bright red/blue people running around everywhere.
I know it is a minor change, but it also is a very easy thing to change. <a>
Ok I just got another crazy awesome idea and you, 343 need to read this along with my other ideas. For the next firefight rendition when you die instead of spawning on you normal spots it would be amazing if you drop in a Drop Pod. Think about it, you can pick a spawn location from birds eye view and during your fall you could make minor adjustments to your landing when you get close. It would be so -Yoink!-.
Please read this forum http://halo.xbox.com/forums/games/f/7/t/17113.aspx?PageIndex=1
I think they really hit the nail on the head with this.
As far as the colors in Invasion go, it definitely shouldn’t be Red and Blue.
Maybe Green and Purple…
But I was thinking Spartans should use their own colors while the Elites are coded to wear the colors that their ranks possess?
(Minors Blue, Majors Red, Ultras White, etc.)
I always though that’d look cool :x
Maybe some new armour permutations and Firefight voices for future DLC. Such as the Mark IV armour from Halo Wars and components from the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL from Halo Legends: Prototype, like the Helmet, shoulders and knee joints.
Can we do something to get Highlands in BTB more. I played a few Customs 8v8 and I feel that is the way it was meant to be played. Can you set it up like Unearthed IF everyone has the DLC for it in the lobby allow it to be shown so we can vote for it at least. It would be preferable to add a search criteria specifically for DLC. If neither of those things can be done can you at least switch around the DLC playlists. One way to do it is to have a BTB variant with Highlands Breakpoint, Tempest and maybe Condemned. Then have a TS variant with all the other smaller maps included in it. Thanks for reading. Keep up the great work !

I second this there should be a search criteria where you can press DLC.
SO it would be:
Rank
Good Connection
Language
DLC
double xp or huge constant jackpots for DLC playlist would be great. The population is so small alot of my friends feel like we wasted our money. If you did that it would give more people incentive to buy the map packs. I hardly play them and i’m sad.
There are two things that I have always wanted to see in a Halo game.
1.) Spartans in more conventional military camouflage. The flat basic colors are cool and all, but I think my Spartan would look a lot cooler with a camo scheme on his armor. Or at least allow for the customization of color to the various sections of the armor. So separate colors for the head, chest, upper arm, lower arm, cod piece, thigh, shin and boot. I think it would lead to some very interesting and very personalized multiplayer Spartans.
2.) A light machine gun. I’m not talking turrets though. I mean a weapon viewed in first person with a large ammo clip (at least 80-100 rounds), a high rate of fire, and medium range. Every other shooter has some kind of equivalent to a light machine gun, and I always wondered why Halo never had one. I like being in a support role in games, and having an LMG instead of a turret would allow for more variety of gameplay and roles to fill in-game. I know the turret is kind of along the lines of an LMG, but it’s heavy, slow, and just generally unwieldy.
Final thoughts, bring the SMG back, it doesn’t even have to be dual wieldable, I just miss using it. Also, HALO IS AWESOME
WAIT, there is one more thing I would like to see in a Halo game. A Pelican in MP. It could be on Invasion maps or something, and could be used very tactically. Also, if it ever does make it in, make it easier to fly than in Reach, that thing we so hard to control.
