Things 343i could do in a TU

So first of all, THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE!!! If you wanna hate, go somewhere else. I’m going to make a list of things that can be changed in a TU that would make the game smoother and have better game play in multiplayer.

  1. Boltshot. Needs to be nerfed. But not nerfed so much that it is a pointless secondary. I don’t hate on it, but everyone knows that it is very OP.

  2. Custom game options. WHERE ARE THEY?? Add more. Also, make it so that you get more EXP from Forging/ Customs so that more people are motivated to play them a lot.

  3. Add player-made maps into War Games. It would add more variety.

  • Side note: FIX THE FILE BROWSER!!
  1. Rotational playlists. If the playlist does as well as SWAT does, then make it permanate. Just so people don’t have to worry that it will be taken out every single week.
  • Side note: PUT IN GRIFFBALL ALREADY!!!
  1. Forge. Fix the lighting problems. They get pretty annoying. Add in precision editing like in Reach. Make some more levels BUILT to forge on. Just plain, flat area. That is all we want. That has SO much potential. A blank canvas with just FLAT GRASS. That’s it. Not very hard. And it would probably make some of the best maps ever forged if you did this. We all want it and you should too.

  2. The War Games menus. Make the UI like in Reach. Reach had a great UI with the friends on the side and that kind of thing. You definitely have room to put something like that there 343i.

  3. Audio options. Make it so that you can actually change if there is annoying as insert vulgar language music playing louder than the actual game in the sound settings like every other game.

  4. Ordinances. They seem very out of place in my opinion. They make it so that every single game has a million power weapons on it and nobody has to actually use their default class.

  5. Custom classes. Plasma grenades= Crazy to put in to start a game with.
    Ex: PLaying CTF and has the flag and is in a warthog. Gets stuck by a million people.
    They need to go.

  6. Flinching. It doesn’t work out. It is the most disorienting thing in the game. Getting un-scoped when you are shot is how it should be.

  7. Spartan Ops. (Come on we all know how this has to be said.) It’s horrible. It needs more innovative game play with new maps to make it less repetitive. This cut-scenes for chapters that come weekly are amazing, but then the actual game play is terrible and bland.

  8. Drop in/ drop out game play. IT DOESN’T WORK AT ALL!!! It is possibly the worst thing to happen to Halo ever. Half the fun of Reach was doing so well in a team game that the other team quit. It gave a sense of accomplishment to the victors. And it was pretty fun to have all the pwoer weapons in a game and hunt down one or two people.

  9. Dmr needs bloom. Or at least make it a little less accurate. And no I’m not hating on it I use it myself. I am just saying to make it a little harder to kill people with it considering right now it’s pretty much a sniper.

  10. EXP cap. It seems silly. Make it higher or take it out.

  11. Challenges. GET CREATIVE!!! Make some challenges that actually take a while to do not things that an be done in 440 minutes of Spartan Ops!! Halo Reach had GREAT challenges because they were actually challenging. Making a monthly challenge the same as the previous month but with even LESS things to do is ridiculous. Stop leaning towards casual gamers so much in this category.

  12. Commendations. Some of them are freaking crazy. Although there really isn’t anything that you can do about it now.

  13. Campaign. Fix all the glitches in it. There are so many different ways to get out of a level it’s ridiculous. Put some more time into what the outside of a level looks like.

  14. Make it so that you can have more than one person in theater like in Halo 3.

  15. Recently I’ve been seeing and experiencing myself that you spawn without being able to see a weapon but if you double tap Y then you see it and everything is normal again. Easy fix.

Well, that’s a bout it. And in case anyone hasn’t seen it, This , has a lot of great points. For the summary got to the last 15 minutes of it or so. If you have anything you would like to add to this, then post it!! Keep this thread alive so that someone from 343 can actually get feedback from a thread not just complaints! By the way, 343i really has done a great job with game, but people can’t see it because of all the things that are wrong with it.

Discuss!!

Bump… I’m not a bumper normally but this one took a while so I’d prefer if people saw it…

Well that’s depressing.

The list of things that are OK as they are is listed after this colon:

That ends the list folks.

I agree with the numbers:

  1. I want to rebuild boneyard(loved that map)
  2. please 343 return descoping(makes dmr/lightrifle less OP over range)
  3. love spartan ops but I want to visit more locations.
  4. the reach style dmr is wat I want.
  5. tho weekly’s are too easy make them more a challange like: kill 1000 spartans in a week.

But I disagree with number 12.
I hated when it was me against 6 others. (worst invasion games ever)
Glad it is in halo 4

I asked for people that are constructive and care about the game not -Yoink- holes.

Yes but they didn’t do it right this this game. They should only start a game when the teams are even not just because they have a couple people.

I care about the game. When you are given the cure to some horrific disease, you don’t take it and make something that looks like the cure because you want it to be your flavor of it. You give the cure and get filthy rich.

If you’re not going to be constructive then why are you even on this forum?

  1. Promethean vision + grenades + increased range on grenades counters Boltshot easily.

  2. Sure why not.

  3. god no. Reach was over infested with Forge maps. I don’t want to play on 50 shades of Forge Grey.

  4. They’re rotating the playlists to see what people like and then eventually I’m sure they will keep the ones that are popular.

  5. Can’t you use coordinates for precision forging?

  6. I wouldn’t say make it like reach, but I think they should make it better. Why can’t I figure out who is in a party or not on the enemy team?

  7. I’ll give you this one. I agree.

  8. You have to get kills to use Ordnance weapons. They don’t seem necessary in Infinity Slayer but might have a niche in BTB.

  9. Learn to use what you have. You can’t expect to drive into a base and out again easily. It’s a different game. Adapt.

  10. If anything unscoping was more disorientating. You’re exaggerating. I feel impartial to both.

  11. Spartan ops isn’t finished it’s first season yet. Hold the thoughts until Season 1 is over.

  12. It works perfectly fine. You just don’t like that you can gang up on one or two people now because the team quit. I’m sorry you can’t bully other players but I like the Join in Progress system so I don’t get screwed out of a win because people on my team rage quit. Now you’ll actually have to try.

  13. No the DMR is fine. If anything reduce the range it has.

  14. Maybe you should take that as a hint to take a break? I reached the XP cap once by playing ALL DAY.

  15. I don’t see how you can make a judgement of just a month of challenges and connect that to casual gamers. You’re grasping at straws here.

  16. Who cares? They are there for you to play a long time.

  17. People on Waypoint constantly praise Halo 2 for glitches and getting out of the map. They also hated on Reach for the soft kill zones. Make up your mind Waypoint!

  18. A nice addition but unnecessary.

  19. Sure. fix that.
