Your MatchMaking "dream" lineup. Say it :)

Games Other Halo
1

So Halo 2,3, Reach have slight changes on matchmaking, from Ranked, Unranked, Community and so on. With Halo 4 for sure there will be the same dividing of playlists.

My dream list

Ranked (Competitive): Focus on smaller game types, team oriented with few FFA types. More Slayer based. With one or two objective modes

:Includes:
Team Slayer (4v4)
Team Objective (4v4)
FFA Slayer (6-8)
SWAT (4v4)
Slayer Pro (Team) (4v4)
Squad Slayer (6v6)

UnRanked (Casual): Focus on bigger encounters and includes more FFA modes and multi team style games. Also BTB.

:Includes:
Big Team Battle (8v8)
Big Multi Team (4v4v4v4 or 3v3v3v3)
Multi Team 2v2v2v2
Double Team (2v2)
Team Fiesta (FFA. has normal slayer modes, but fiesta random weapons are heavy)

Cooperative (Team Work): Focus on team work. Spartan Ops, and Online COOP is here. As well as special Zombie modes (special holidays)

:Includes:
Online 4 player COOP (or w/e number it has)
Online Spartan Ops
ZOMBIES SPECIAL: Only comes out on special holidays. Custom made big zombie modes. With 16 players, more focus on objective type zombie maps.

Community (Fun stuff): Includes your crazy modes. Action Sack, Zombies, And even some MLG and such, Special modes as well

:Includes:
Action SAck Big (8v8)
Action Sack (4v4)
MLG
Team Weapon (such as Snipers, Shotguns, Rockets, Plasma Weapons, Games focused on one or one type of weapon0
Zombies
Holiday Specials (Changes)

So what do you want. I think my list has a good focus and all types of players.

Yet what do you think, is my one good, or would you change it somehow?

Hate to bump but I totally forgot something.

On Community add: Team Classic (4v4) Big Classic (8v8) classic modes, no load outs, halo 2/3 style.

I would really like a 4 v 4 or 5 v 5 playlist that was social slayer mix bag…
Slayer Mix bag would include the following:

  • Slayer
  • Swat
  • Snipes
  • And variations of the above

I just think it would be a nice mix of slayer based game types. just my 2 cents.

Team Objectives

Big Team Battle

Team Snipers

Classic

I also would like to see 343 doing a Forge contest. However, instead of doing several gametypes all at once, do 1 playlist or Gametype at a time. That way, it’ll be more manageable to do.

Only a couple people put Team Objective. Shame on the rest of you.

12

I like your dream list op =]

13

Big Team CTF playlist.

Hell yeah.

- Competitive
- Casual
- Community
- Co-op

Competitive are ranked playlists that focus on your rank (depending on whatever system 343i implements.)

Casual will act more like the Halo 3 playlist and this playlist can be used for people who just want to have fun, but still earn Spartan points so there is still incentive for winning and not quitting.

Community can be pretty much anything, game types like action sack, griffball, etc.

Co-op is for things like Spartans Ops.

I think MLG should be ranked. If not by the same ranking as Team Slayer and such, it could have it’s own ranking. I would love that :smiley:
