Would you prefer the voting system or the veto system?
There’s already an active thread on this topic. Don’t start new threads just so you can cash in on the popularity of another thread’s subject. Bad OP. Very Bad OP!
I made it with the poll so we could clearly work out which idea is most popular
Veto, of course.
a mixture of both?
have two choices, but no “NONE OF THE ABOVE” option
for example:
A) BTB Slayer on Hemorhage (5 votes)
B) CTF on Spire (6 Votes)
(yes i know this is not Reach)
and make it so gametypes that people choose more often show up more often, so that ALL gametypes get their fair share
with something like this, you are not trapped with ONE bad Match, and then forced to veto, only to receive and even WORSE match, with no way to go back

I think the voting system was better for me.
Halo3’s veto system was the “cup is half empty” approach to voting and was not an actual vetoing system.
Reach’s voting system is the same cup but half full approach to voting.
Vote for what I don’t want or vote for what I want?
2B or not 2B?
I get to vote in a democratic assembly no matter what so whatever.

GOW has a system pretty much like this.
Well, they both contain the letters E, V, T, and O… I say vote, but only two choices and both are completely random. You can only say none of the above once and when it’s a tie in automatically does none of the above.
The veto system from Halo 3 was much better. People shouldn’t just get exactly what they want every time. Objective games and Big Team Battle games are always the same gametypes/maps over and over again because everyone always just votes the same thing, and we have too many choices. It’s hard to explain, but I’d much rather experience a bit of everything, and be pleasantly surprised by what the game offers, and take that chance than to just yell to my friends, “VOTE SNIPERS PRO ON ASYLUM!”. Also, you can’t blame anybody for being stuck with a poor map and gametype. In Halo 3, if I the gametype was Territories on Isolation, I wouldn’t be that upset, knowing that nobody’s to blame. It’s simply the map and gametype that were randomly selected. In Reach, I see six people vote for Oddball on Sword Base every. Single. Time, and I just can’t help but to be upset with everybody in the lobby for forcing me to play something so awful. There’s no longer any variety in Big Team or Objective. It’s always just 1 Flag on Pinnacle, 2 Flag on Asylum, 1 Flag on Powerhouse, or Oddball on Sword Base.
Veto system. The power of the x button is unmatched! Plus, it allows me to troll players who want good gametypes xD God i cannot resist pressing x at ANY map with ANY game type even if it pisses off my team.
I liked the vote system better. It just seems more attractive a system that gives you a bit more control over what you’re doing than something that picks out what you play and gives you a choice between that and some unknown other map and gametype that might possibly be worse than the current one.

That’s why the veto system can be bad but, so can the vote spamming on Reach be horrid.
I’m sick of players voting and changing their votes over and over.
I want something mixed between the two, and if you vote your vote stays permanent.
No More Vote Spamming!
Veto>Voting
For me it lies between Voting system or random map selection.
The voting system brings up many more options than the veto system overall so I prefer it.

And yet the same stuff is picked over and over again. Veto sacrifices player agency for variety. Voting sacrifices variety for player agency. I’d rather play an abundance of different things, then be stuck with BTB Slayer on Hemorrhage over and over again. That’s what we have with Reach, now. The same -Yoink- has been getting picked over and over again, and other gametypes have fallen by the wayside.

Oh god -.-
Look familiar?
Generic Team Slayer example
Uncaged: 4
Pulse: 3
Sword Base-0
None the Above:0
In this example, a player that voted for Pulse changed his/her mind at the last second and votes the crappy Uncaged instead >.<
They should use the voting system from reach, but instead of having a ‘none of the above’ option, it should have a ‘random’ option which means when you vote ‘random’ a random map and gametype is selected. Also they should hide everyone else’s votes so you can only see which option you chose.
