NOTICE: This is my opinion
Things that I think 343 Industries should change when they take control over Halo Reach.
- AFKing
AFKing, I think I speak for everyone saying that no one likes this. Personally I like how Call of Duty games deal with this, how after a certain amount of time you are kicked for inactivity, BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT and say this is to COD like to be in Halo or something like this, this is my idea, I’m not sure how long it takes for the ban hammer to kick and temporarily ban AFKers, but I think if you AFK the whole game, when its over and the AFker is in the automatic countdown waiting screen to start searching for a new game, they should be kicked back into the manual lobby and if they want, can AFK on the main screen all night if they like it that much.
- Infection (not the game mode, certain things)
The first thing in this game mode that needs to be changed is Bulltrues, I know its like they can’t just fix it because of the games code or something, but i think they should put their heads together and come up with some solution or compromise.(Bulltrue: Stoping a Zombies Sword Lung on you or another player: aka, killing them when there about to kill you: aka you both shouldn’t die, simple as that.) Also just two people killing each other at the same time, whether its Bullture or a zombie kills you and you somehow kill them too somehow…
Something else, which let me say is a good idea, but is probably one of the most annoying thing I’ve encountered personally on Reach is the, if a alpha or starting zombie leaves, a human is automatically infected to fill its place. I can’t even explain how many times I rush to a really great spots and I’m in my head saying, " Yes! I’m finally not a starting zombie after the first two rounds and I’m in a great spot, at least I can have some fun now- ‘INFECTED! New Zombie!’" All because some alpha zombie quit.
Also, I guess the solution for the “infecting someone but somehow betraying them and getting kicked” was solved by turning off betrayal booting, but that leads into the problem of, “Why do they keep betraying me for no reason!” I think they should make it a 3 betray kick or something because its getting very annoying, and that leads to my next point.
- Betraying
Normal betrayals are on accident, and the “one betray = kick” thing is getting annoying also. 9 outta 10 times I betray someone its because for example i might get into a wraith and somehow splatter a teammate who came out of now where and i wasn’t even boosting, or maybe you just stick an enemy and some teammate kills him and the grenade still stuck to the dead body blows up the teammate leading to a betrayal. It doesn’t matter how the accident occurred, but its getting annoying and i personally thing it should be a 3 betray = kick.
That concludes my 343 wish list, now heres some things that can’t be fixed, but extremely annoying.
- Objective Games
It bugs me how people play objective game modes and now even play them, just go for kills and not even in teh defending type of way. For all the people who do that, you chose to play objective game types, at least play them.
- Quitting
I understand if you quit because you have to leave, but other than that DONT QUIT! It also bugs me that people leave for reasons like “OMG! We’re losing by 2! We’re probably not gonna win so, QUIT!” Or any other stupid reason like that. I know it doesn’t affect you once you quit, but normally it affects everyone in the game who could use the help of teammates. And I know they will get banned temporarily but it doesn’t take 1 or 2 game to get the temp banned, it a few quits which i think almost encourages them to quit because of the lack of consequence.
Theres more, but overall those are the main things in my opinion need to be fixed or understood. Agree or Disagree?
Second post link: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=63961436
If I could change the Invasion playlist I would kick out Skirmish and Slayer, add Breakpoint to the list so the three options are Boneyard, Spire, and Breakpoint, and add one or two community invasion maps (REALLY Good though).
Cause, i like Spire, Boneyard and Breakpoint. Breakpoint you have to go into premium battle and normally its on the first list but some times it isn’t. I think they should add like a second invasion playlist or something. YES! i understand that breakpoint is in the invasion playlist, but thats if everyone in the lobby has the map pack and it happens to pick it. But like I said up top I think there should be a playlist with the three main invasion maps, a few really good community invasion maps, and i think they should of added a new invasion map with the newest dlc, maybe it could have been on Highland or something.
Maybe they could make a playlist called Elites vs Spartans or something that and it has skirmish, slayer, elite slayer, and some new gamemode. And then there could just be a regular invasion with the main invasion maps as the first 3 options then if everyone votes none of the above, it could go to three community forge maps.
Do anyone agree with me or have your own ideas?
