Hello all, I have been looking on the forums for a while and I’m seeing requiring arguments. So as such I believe I have come up with a way to organize such topics into areas that in my opinion are fair and in such a way that it’ll give a good idea for 343i on what should be implemented and what they should think on.
The first of these is what I call Absolute. These are topics that 343i must take notice of and without hesitation implement them into Halo 5 or a patch for Halo 4.
The first and most glaring problem, in my opinion, is the lack of custom game options in Halo 4. It is truly sad that they either, were not able to put them into Halo 4, or plain forgot too. Either way you put it, its still very disappointing. This is an easy fix all they need to do is re-implement these features and the game will be great (future Halo games/ Halo 4 if patch comes).
The second problem that, in my opinion, is the playlist system. I can understand what they where trying to do they were trying to change it up and keep it fresh while in hindsight they took out playlist people liked and then replaced them with things that they didn’t losing a large majority of there fan base. This can also be fixed easily by re-implanting the playlist system from previous games or improving the current one to were it keeps things fresh but dose take away from core gametypes.
Now I move on to the second type which I call Debatable topics. These are things that have support but are not very much absolute and can be argued from both pro or con very well. Now remember these are my thoughts so please no flames and commonly debate why a topic should be moved to absolute. As well please add topics and label them as Absolute or Debatable.
The first, and mind as well get it out in the open, is the 1-50 ranking system. Now I can already hear the pitch forks being sharpened and cries of ‘HERESY’ but please allow me to explain. The reason why I think its debatable is because its not adding anything that would benefit the game. Now I have heard that people claim it would make it more competitive but in reality it wouldn’t. The reason is because public matchmaking in itself is not very competitive. By proxy it wouldn’t do anything to make it more competitive.
As well there are other, much better, ways at fixing this. We could easily add a clan system into the game. In this system organized groups of players would play against organized groups of players in a system similar to that of game-battles. This would lead to very competitive gameplay as the amount of randomness in public games would be gone. Overall I believe that no ranking system would make match making public matchmaking anymore competitive.
Second debatable topic would be another forge world sized map. Now I remember getting in forge world and going ‘oh my gosh this is great’ but in reality it was just three maps kinda glued together and only certain areas ever got forged. It seemed like a waste of space but I do agree that a big map is needed. Perhaps another sandbox, a basic flat plain that can easily be forged on. ’
Overall thats all please comment and let me know what you think should be added. Volks out.
