When H5 launches would you like to see a map/gametype selection process similar to the H5 Beta or Halo 2 where the map and gametype to be played are pre-chosen (not by players) within a given playlist?
EXAMPLE:
You decide to hop into Team Objective then you would start a CTF game on Truth right off the bat, no voting required.
It could also be Bomb on Empire. Either way, the point is there would be no voting with changes being handled by server side tweaks that 343 could put out to optimize the system.
I have also heard people having interest in the veto system from H3. My cousin brought this up to me at work today.
yes voting should go and veto should return or they keep the rotation system a la Gears 3. Voting has lead to the same maps being played to death and some maps literally just never being played. When Halo 4 first came out it wasn’t uncommon for me to play Exile 6 times in a row. At least with the veto system there would have been a chance for meltdown and vortex. The veto system allowed for more and better variety which kept the game fresh. Why have 10-15 maps at launch if I’m only going to play on like 3 or 4 of them because that is all anyone will vote for? Same with the MCC. With voting your gametype and map would vary hugely depending on with whom you were playing. Some people will only vote halo 2, halo 3, etc.
Voting also gives disproportionate amounts of power to party teams since they will all normally vote along the same lines, giving themselves an even greater advantage considering matchmaking systems still favor putting parties with random and calling it fair.
Yes please with the veto, I am sick and tired of people picking the same thing over and over again, there are other maps try them out get out of your comfort zone -_-
No way. Vetoing sucked because you could always get thrown into a horrible gametype or map like Assembly. I’d rather either keeping the large amount of choice that voting gives or have absolutely no choice in the matter like Halo 2.
I voted yes on this. I’m so tired of playing the same maps/gametypes in the MCC over and over again. I don’t care if Veto returns or not, as long as Voting disappears.
I like the idea of the players being able to choose what they want to play.
Democracy!
That being said, sometimes a single map and game type is the only thing that the players choose, which gets very, very annoying. If the community ends up being like that then I’d rather not have a voting system in place.
I would like to play on all the maps. Playlists with dedicated servers that load from a list of maps, maybe one veto option to skip to the next map, and give us a vote on Slayer variants or in an objective playlist three objective variants to choose from.
