Hey there guys,
Just wanted to push the community in these suggestions. In no way am I right, I just would like to hopefully improve the community aspect of the game. Personally, I believe Halo 3 had the best community ever. One of the main reasons being the custom games and forging. However, Halo 5 is a new game that I feel has kinda died off in the community aspect. So here are a few suggestions, add if you’d like:
#1: TRENDING - Trending should be what custom made maps/game modes, highlights, and streams are the most popular. Most importantly, I think this subheading should be right under the “Community” playlist. Let’s stop the engagement with the halo app, and put it inside the game. For example, top 50 custom game modes, top 50 custom maps, top 30 creators, top 10 clips (weekly) all rated by the amount of downloads. We need to engage back the casual crowd in order to have this game live on. While looking in the file share of some, I noticed not 1 person has shared a map. This is a problem. And I’m pretty sure it has something to deal with the fact barely anyone plays custom games anymore.
#2: Req Points for likes - in the same trending category, if someone “likes” your creation/clip, the creator should be rewarded. This will create a desire for creators to create, and ultimately feel like they’re work is being appreciated. I firmly believe if anyone creates the next Grifball, they should be rewarded. Maybe for each download, 1 req point, for each like 2?
Tell me what you guys think. If you like the ideas, let’s make sure 343 know to implement this into the GAME! Not the app or the website!!!
