Games Other Halo
941
  1. remove bloom
  2. remove armor lock
  3. Fix horrible Beat down system
  4. fix ranking system
  5. Fix grenades. They are simply ridculous in Reach. They are far too powerful.
942

To guy above me.

They are NOT going to remove armor lock. That was the dumbest thing I have ever heard on these forums.

You seem to be one of those guys who get all whinny because they weren’t able to kill a person who went to armor lock.
THAT IS WHAT ARMOR LOCK IS FOR! IT IS NOT BROKEN! It’s perfectly fine.

943

Wow this is like the opposite of the Bungie forum, thank god.

  1. Remove bloom or provide a strong tweak.
  2. make AAs a pick up apart from sprint.
  3. Weaken grenade radius slightly.
  4. Nerve AL such as a grenade launcher/plasma pistol destroying it or less usage.
  5. No sword block. I never use a sword and still know it’s no good.
944
  1. Remove bloom
  2. Force sprint on most of the playlists (you can leave them on playlists for the more casual player, for example Big Team Battles).
  3. Remove sword block
  4. Add a working ranking system (people playing against people of similar skill level, teams of 4 meeting teams of 4, teams of 3 meeting teams of 3, etc.)
  5. Nerf evade, jetpack and especially armor lock.

This game needs to be more competitive. Armor abilities and the randomness of the bloom favors noobs.

945

  1. Level System (1-50) Keep it easier than H2 to rank up, but harder than H3.

  2. No bloom on Sniper…seriously Minimize bloom on DMR, keep needle rifle the same

  3. No Armor Lock

  4. Add new armor to "the armory’

  5. Actually -Yoink- bloom all together

946
  1. Remove Bloom or make it better
  2. Less Hemmorhage (Basically 99% of matches in Team Snipers is Hemmorhage.)
  3. When I choose “Chatty” & “Team Player” I actually want people with mics that will talk and will be a team player
  4. When I choose “Good Connection” and “Skill” I don’t want a laggy game, and I don’t want team mates that go -14
  5. Better Servers
947

DO NOT REMOVE BLOOM COMPLETELY, please 343, just edit it slightly.

948

> My five would be:
>
> 1. Bloom - Toggle ON/OFF switch for people that feel it does not benefit their personal gameplay.
>
> 2. Weaken precision/non-explosive weapons’ power on vehicles: when you’re in a Wraith and you get taken out by four bullets from a sniper, it’s a little bit annoying.
>
> 3. Nerf Armor Lock and Jetpack- make them pick-up only, make the recharge time for each longer, make them only available to use after the ability is fully charged, or TAKE THEM OUT.
>
> 4. Implement a 1-100 ranking system - Ranking up was my ABSOLUTE favorite aspect of Halo 2/3 and getting my first 50 was so satisfying. Keep social playlists and allow for Guests to play in the ranked playlists, however prevent the capability of their ranking up.
>
> 5. Slim down the playlists a bit- I don’t think you need both squad slayer AND team slayer in matchmaking considering they both have basically the same maps and have almost the same amount of players. You should make the playlists the following:
>
> Ranked Team Slayer
> Ranked Rumble Pit
> Ranked Team Doubles
> Ranked Team Snipers
> Ranked MLG
> Ranked Team Objective
> Ranked BTB
> Social Rumble Pit
> Social Slayer (5v5)
> Social Objective (5v5)
> Social Multi Team (5 team’s of 2)
> Social Action Sack (4v4)
> Social Infection (16 players, 4 alpha zombies)
> Social Team Swat
> Matchmaking Custom Games- A leader of a party holds a lobby and makes the gametype and map public and up to 15 other players can join to play one or more games with the leader. This makes it more convenient than having to find people manually to play custom games with.
> Score Attack
> 4 Player Firefight

I agree about the playlists but idk about the 1-100. I was fine with 1-50.

949

Remove Banshees from gametypes and maps WITHOUT Armorlock. I just played a terrible game of Temptation CTF, and the other team went wild with banshees. This should be OBVIOUS. Hope 343i is more ‘hands on’ than Bungie is being now.

IMPLEMENT the DLC maps I BOUGHT into Matchmaking. Higher Weighting. Again, this should be obvious…

I’m putting all my eggs in a basket with 343. Please do not make me drop it…

Bloom’s ok. Could be better to combat spammers, but I don’t mind so much. It works perfectly for longrange combat, IMO.

950

Not in any particular order:

  1. Toggle Bloom off/on - or possible fix to bloom. If bloom is removed, slow the rate of fire down a bit.
  2. Revised use of AA’s. For example, make them usable only once after respawn for tactical uses, or have a fixed recharge of the AA’s of 1 minute to ensure people use these for tactical purposes, and not just spamming.
  3. Remove no Bleed-through of beatdowns. aka, I shoot people in the head 3 times then beat down, it is a kill, and not just the remainder of shield is knocked out.
  4. Grenades are tweaked to be similar (if not the same) as Halo 3. This includes the bounce, damage and trajectory.
  5. Ranking System - 1-50 or anything where Rank is affected by skill and not how many games you play.

Close Calls…
6. Maps, Need maps more like Halo 2 and 3, although i understand new maps is a bit hard to ask for in a TU.
7. Vehicle / Weapon relations… Snipers should never powerful enough to take of the plating of a scorpion or wraith. The relationship of weapons and vehicles in Halo 3 was great, as the weapons would definately help, but it would take a while before the vehicle is destroyed. Perhaps make it so the vehicle would be destroyed easier if shot in specific weak-points.
8. Weapon Damage, Increased damage of the pistol, DMR (depends on other plans), Needle Rifle needs a boost and perhaps revamp of it’s entirety. Those are just three suggestions.
9. Sword Block, remove or tweak it. This could be useful, but it is just annoying as it is currently.
10. Power-ups, Perhaps make it so these AA’s can be picked up instead of spawned with.

951

Right, I have been preaching these since Halo Reach beta and am glad that you have given me the opportunity to vocalize my views.

1),Allow us to change the in game volume of the game via our start button, this will purely be for game sound. You may say
microsoft has implemented this system on preferences but all that does is make the game quieter while someone talks in a party. This means if you are in a party where gaps exist, the fluctuating volume makes the system unusable for me. I believe other games have applied this by making voice, game sound and music sound separate. It also allows me to silence the lobby music.

2). Allow me to turn off dynamic cross hair. After playing the game for a considerable amount of time, I am aware that a bloom system exists-I am perhaps one of the few that actually like the system, though agree it could go back to the beta version. However, I do not wish to see the crosshair moving after every shot.

3). Allow bloom to be turned on/off in custom games. Like I have said I am a fan of bloom but feel that with the creation of custom games users should be allowed to play the game the way they wish to play it.

4). Bring in a hidden ranking system. While I appreciate that some players are a lot better then I will ever be, I do not wish/want to be slapped in the face by them regularly but in fact want to play games I can have an input in and enjoy.

5). Open the theatre system to four players rather then just one. Without this open system it forces players to upload game plays to then get constructive criticism. In halo 3 you could look over your gameplay all together, enjoying the epicness of certain situations.

(I have added a 6th, I’m sorry)
6).Allow us to change the colours of walls in forge mode. Currently, the majority of maps created are a dull grey with a coloured stripe going through them making the difference from wall to wall extremely small. A more colourful map would probably look better and would allow communication between players easier.

952

My list:

  1. Fix bloom if it has to stay in the game, otherwise remove it from the game altogether. However, change the DMRs accordingly to compensate for no bloom. If neither of these are possible, then have a toggle for bloom in customs.

  2. Remove armour lock and active camo completely, don’t bother tweaking them.

  3. Decrease grenades blast radius or damage.

  4. Remove the health system.

  5. Introduce a ranking system into the game that is challenging to achieve, like the highest skill system. Its boring just having a ranking system that rewards players who play more. If its not possible then I would have made it so there is no reward credits for people on the losing team so there is actually an incentive to win games, instead of just looking out for yourself and betraying others for power weapons. Not having an incentive to win a game is a fundamental problem which is the root of lots of other problems. In Halo 3, there was no xp reward when you lost. Just make the system exciting again…

953

  1. make spread on magnum tighter. (cant get a perfect kill at medium range while the CE magnum you can get a perfect kill at medium range unscoped.)

  2. Remove bloom from all precision weapons. If unable to do so make bloom a toggle on/off

  3. Individual weapon traits. Example: Damage, round count

  4. Fix meele

  5. increase strafe acceleration

954

1. Bloom toggle on/off. It should be toggled off for matchmaking.

2. Armor lock removed from matchmaking.

3. Bleed trough toggle on/of. Toggled on for matchmaking.

4. Ranked and social playlist, similar to those in Halo 2/3. Ranked having a ranking system also.

5. Individual weapon customization. Such as making the DMR a 4 shot kill, toning down the grenades, etc.

I know that some of these changes are hard to implement, such as the individual weapon customization or the ranking system, but I’m simply stating my opinion, and I know a lot of people would agree with me so that’s why I post them here, even though they are a pain in the -Yoink- to make reality.

955
  1. Remove bloom or do something that makes it more consistent and not a coin flip in battles 2. Bring a ranking system into every playlist , not the arena one but the halo 2 one 3. New mlg map remakes (pit) (guardian) or new improved maps , mlg needs more maps that fit new gametypes to make it less repetitive . 4. halo 3 melee system 5. NEED TO FIX BLOOM (same as number 1 :stuck_out_tongue: )
956
  1. Remove bloom from precision weapons and put on a set rate of fire.
  2. SEVERLY nerf armor lock or better yet just remove it.
  3. Add the Halo 2 1-50 ranking system.
  4. Nerf the mini nukes (frag grenades)
  5. Return the wraith to its former Halo 2 glory and/or power up the revenant a little.
957

I signed up simply to post this comment because i want 343 to fix these problems.
My Top 5:

  1. Remove or create a toggle option (on/off) for Bloom. Preferably just remove it.
  2. Bring back Halo 3 Melee system (3 shots+melee shouldn’t = melee)
  3. Fix the custom games. I loved the options you had in Halo 3 custom game settings. Halo Reach got it totally wrong
  4. Bring back the ranking system of Halo 3 (0-50). The hardcore players like me and many others loved this system.
  5. Last but most certainly NOT least. LOWER THE GUNS OVER XBL! This is VERY important to the machinima community
    Thank-you!
958

Top 5:

  1. Weapons lowered over XBL.

  2. Armor lock removed.

  3. Melee system fixed.

  4. I’d like the DLC to contain the other maps in Halo CE Including the ones from the Pc version such as, Death Island, Infinity, Danger Canyon, etc.

  5. Bring back the Ranked and Social playlists.

959
  1. make jump height bigger
  2. no fall damage

  5. 1-50 lvl system brought back instead of credit nonsense
960
  1. Remove Bloom 2. Remove Armor Lock and Active Camo AAs 3. Fix stupid no bleed through melees, make the system more like H2 or 3 4. Increase mobility 5. Decrease grenade blast radius
