I’ve posted a few times in the now 180 page long “Custom game options are unacceptable, 343.” post by TimeGlitch. I’ve read all the arguments and the frustration. I share in that frustration. But, we need to be realistic here, people. 343 Industries is not staffed by demi gods who can snap their fingers and give us what we want like that. They are human beings who are doing their best to make a good game. What their definition of a “good game” IS is not what this post is about.
Yes, all of the custom game types that were in past Halo games should have been in Halo 4. But, they are not. Yes, all of the custom game options that were in past Halo games should have been Halo 4. But, they are not. We need to stop whining senselessly about that and start doing something constructive.
As pointed out by DavidJCobb on TimeGlitch’s post, in past Halo games it has taken weeks to prepare, polish, and make a single gametype playable. Because of this can anyone REALLY expect 343 just to come up with these game types out of no where considering they built Halo 4 in a different way from previous Halo titles? I think not.
Look, we all miss our favorite game types. But, we as a community need to decide on a single game type for 343 to put in the game because we are not going to get them all at once. It’s not going to happen. If we push hard enough for this single game type then, we may just get it. Then, once we have that game type we push for another, and another, and another. Doesn’t that sound more rational and realistic than yelling at 343 for 10 different game types to be done and in the game tomorrow?
Respond to this post, not in frustration (we’ve already had plenty of that in TG’s post) but, with the game type you want MOST to be in the game. Also, don’t forget to vote in the poll. I’ve tried my best to make the polling options as wide as possible.
How about a gametype called Custom Game or Customs. With all the options from previous games, new options and options from other games like Unreal Tournament.
A gametype with all the objectives and modes put together. You could combine gametypes like infection and VIP.
This would take alot more time then simply adding a Race gametype, but I think it would be better.
I made this suggestion in TG’s thread.
And where is the poll? Cant see it. EDIT: Never mind, see it now
@TheAngryKnight: It still takes time, but we should have atleast some patch for the broken options in Custom Games in the Title Update.
idk wtf your talking about but the best game types where always made by the community. 343 should just fix the file search so we can share game types and maps.
need to add stockpile to that list.
not that i’m particularly a fan of that gametype, but it is an important mechanic for forgers since it provided a scoring system independent of player input. by that, i mean, a player does not need to be present at the score location to affect a score change.
this is what made things like hokey goals and that cool skiball map possible.
kinda important.
like another commenter said, you are missing Stockpile. In addition, Insane is nowhere to be found.
I’d say that it’s a tie between Race, Infection and Assault. All three should have shipped with the game. But for the sake of the poll, I’ll say Infection, simply because the L4D gametypes were always my favorite in Reach.
As much as I’d love for a return of VIP (and all of the other gametypes to their former glory) NOW, Infection must come first. Flood needs to be fixed to be more like Infection of the past. Most gametypes were based on Infection, and as long as Flood stays as it is, those gametypes and the other creative dreams of the community will be dead.
