Weekly balance changes maybe?

Games Other Halo
1

Now this is a few questions for the community and for 343.

Bioware with ME3 is able to weekly balance changes to weapon, enemies ect ect. Now I understand that this is a PvP game but could something like this be put into place for Halo5 that way we don’t have to wait for a TU but just have weapon values stored server side so they can be changed at a considerable pace for balance.

My second question is would we be able to have dedicated servers for Halo 5. Now I understand that our Live account payments go to things like exclusives and early DLC. I would like to think that 343 try and "push the idea to Microsoft to get them for their number one franchise. Maybe even use so of the money from the sales of the game to do so as well. I know it takes quite a bite of money to pay/make a AAA game but not all of it is only for that right?

So those are my ideas/dreams just wondering what you guys think

A few changes that get it right are superior to constant changes that never hit the mark.

Dedicated servers? I don’t personally see the need or care for them. They’re nice but I can do perfectly fine without them.

As the networking is now, however, isn’t a matter of using dedicated servers. If the system wasn’t so badly done it would be fine P2P.

Weekly challenges? No, no, no no no no no…senseless idea. A constantly frustrating and changing (read: inconsistent) playing environment is an absolutely dreadful idea.

As for dedicated servers…will never happen. Everyone is just going to have to get over that. Dedicated servers aren’t a perfect solution, thus not a worthy investment. P2P works great if you can get a cooperative ISP and have some basic understanding of networking.
