You know that every one saying now that thy should have no jet pack or should it be invisible walls or soft kill boundrys. Or even compleat MM over hall none of it will be taken in affect. 343 has already gone so far they won’t read these and a month into the game take out jetpack. They don’t have the time to change the OB barriers from soft kill to invisible wall or vise versa. It’s nice that you expressing major add on to the game but you should had said them 4-5 months ago. None of what you say now will change what we will be getting on nov. 6th.
actually you are missing the point. Months ago, years ago, doesn’t matter.
343 doesn’t REALLY read any of this for advice. No one person’s rant or opinion is heard or acted upon to “fix” the game or “add this” or “remove that”.
Not even in a popularity contest way. (polls) they make the game they want to make based off of their own ideas of what sells. After all, a game fan-forum isn’t representative of the actual population entire of Halo game purchasers and players.
Anyone on this forum who is sane is well aware of this. We post stuff to see others opinions and play at what we would do if we were game designers. (some of us seem like we’d do a damn fine job with the series). To slay boredom. Halo is interesting! (and polarizing lol)
forum blogging is a great thing to do in one of your open tabs while waiting through ads on other online media or whatever else your doing. if you want to make your ideas reality, then get hired in the video game industry.

To expand on this, also remember, 343 is made up of professionals who’ve honed their talents their entire lives and whose job is to spend years making sure this is the best, most well-balanced, exciting, and fun game it can be. Like he said, some of the people here might have a talent for good ideas and whatnot, but for anyone to think they can make a better game than actual professionals is silly.
Of course, it doesn’t matter much for me. I’m satisfied completely with everything shown so far.
Well thanks for the productive thread, OP. I sure feel informed after reading it.

343i doesn’t come here for ideas or advice. They look for patterns of general opinions to help guide them towards what the community seems to want as a whole. Do you really think a team of educated, professional developers are going to take the advice of a ranting pack of high school teenagers yapping about bloom and kill times? They’re here to interact with the community and check for recurring themes. Sure, they take some opinions into account, but the bottom line is that these people are professionals, and they didn’t get their educations and careers just to let a forum of inexperienced gamers develop Halo for them.
