Halo 4 needs a true FFA playlist. Not Regicide, but Lone Wolves or whatever you would like to name it. Regicide should be included in an FFA playlist but not in a playlist by itself.
But 343 is finalizing an FFA playlist as we speak.
-
I agree with Maximum Clutch where you spawned with your random weapons, and not just a random ordnance drop. I would like to see the original fiesta return.
When I played fiesta, it kind of went like, "If you don't have a rocket launcher, you're screwed." That's basically how I saw it. Jet packing with rockets took over the game.

I love binary slayer. Action sack is great for those fun, laid back games.
-
I prefer Team Snipers but Shotty Snipers is good for a change every now and then. Sometimes there's a lot of camping going on with the shotgun, which I'm not a fan of.
-
I wonder how much this will compete with Halo. It looks promising and I'll definitely give it a try.
-
Halo 4 needs an FFA playlist for sure. I always enjoyed Lone Wolves and Free for All playlists, especially when you're looking for a change from team playlists.

The maps all have very good designs and color schemes about them, and they are all different (as opposed to Halo Reach with the same blue/grey scheme), but smaller maps are needed for 4v4 and 5v5 gametypes. 343 just needs to come out with more smaller maps like the ones on the Majestic map pack. 343 is already heading in the right direction with the new additions of Shutout (aka Lockout) and others.
-
The boltshot is way too powerful to be a secondary weapon. A one-shot kill weapon belongs in an ordnance drop if you ask me, not in the secondary weapon slot, regardless of range. Although, nerfing the boltshot's range is a start.
-
I'm a DMR user on Halo 4 and I rarely stray from that. I don't try to get the commendations for the weapons.
I occasionally do use the BR and I think it's somewhat effective on smaller maps that don't require as much aim precision, but even at that I almost always use the DMR.
-
343 has been impressing me as of lately with all the new smaller maps and the new gametypes. 343 is listening to the community, even if it does take them a while.
I love Team Snipers. It has always been a classic playlist throughout all of Halo matchmaking. I'm thrilled to see 343 put Team Snipers back in.

I know its a large undertaking.....but am glad this game wasn't a cake...it was taken out of the oven way before it was done. Our cash was/is there when we payed for the game ,Xbox live, and our internet......Few problems would be understandable.....but unplayable much of the time is deplorable and unfortunately its becoming the status quo.
There is a lot of room for improvement but I enjoy Halo 4 nonetheless. Good use of vocabulary by the way. Your use of deplorable was superb lol.

If your only argument is "It must be right because someone did it once" then I'm not going to waste time constructing a response.
I get tired of people arguing for this saying "you have no basis" when I just spent awhile making a post that explains things to you. Go look up Trueskill, learn about it, or quit asking for it.
Nowhere in that link does it say "You aren't supposed to see it" but nowhere in that link does it say "You ARE supposed to see it." The choice is up to each developer, and the problems Halo 3 had with it combined with the problems other games DON'T have WITHOUT showing it is the start of my argument. The rest of my argument comes from a design-based understanding of the system and how seeing it isn't part of its original design, so seeing it keeps it from working properly.
I make my arguments based on facts, experience, and my interpretation of those facts and experience. I have plenty of basis for my statements, it's why I make the statements.
Obviously, if 343 or Bungie didn't say anywhere that "the ranking system is not supposed to be visible," then your statement is completely made up and you're basing your statement off your own false assumption. There is no fact in your statement whatsoever. I know exactly what trueskill is and I was there when it was at its finest. It works, and my post explaining the importance of ranks is all the evidence you need.
-
Easy. It's called tough luck. Besides, I barely see anyone spawning that close, though, they do know where I'm going due to instant respawn, which is close enough. I play with whatever is given, so I wouldn't bother if the guy that I just killed, comes to finish me of. Besides, you should expect him to come back looking for you. Again, playing smart.
What if you have nowhere to manuever? It's not as simple as you make it out to be. I consider myself a smart player but certain situations that are caused by these instant respawn kills are inevitable, no matter how smart you play.
-
I think also the fact that instant respawns allow players to spawn and finish off players that they just died from in battle, further strengthens your point for a faster recharge rate. I definitely get where you're coming from.

I have indeed done it once. It was a pretty hilarious experience.
I mainly do that move only when I feel the need to hit my little dance

Thanks man, but don't give me all the credit. I read a lot of peoples opinions on here and on halo waypoint and take what I like. Like Frank said, Halo 5 will be much better, I believe him but its just stupid
I would also like to note that many people who have been voicing their opinions have been with Halo for a long time and advocate the same issues we talk about.
Halo 4 has the potential to be a very good game. The old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Agreed with you as well ProudDrunkIrish, I will still play Halo 4 but there are many things that should have been implemented from the start.
-
Destroyaaa, you are someone that I have always agreed with and I could not have said it better myself on your entire post. I've been right here with you advocating the same points on these forums from the days of pre-Halo 4 until now. Anybody who denies the obvious effects of a ranking system is lying to themselves and/or has never experienced Halo 2 or maybe even Halo 3.
Frank O Connor said that most of the people who play Halo don't care if there is a ranking system or not, or don't care if a game is competitive, or something similar to those. If those people never cared in the first place then why alter Halo in drastic fashion? I'm thankful that we're getting a ranking system, don't get me wrong, but the people who care enough about this game are loudly voicing their opinions everyday to 343 (NOT the people that could care less), so why not cater to those people?
Great post Destroyaaa.

All of those maps would work very well for 2v2. My favorite are the top 3, Lockout (or Shutout), Haven, and Relay. I love the open space, high paced shooting battles. Along with a forged Guardian map, as Jamesw01 mentioned, I would also like to see a Midship remake, with possibly Zealot and Countdown. All of those would play great for 2v2 in my opinion.
-
Team Doubles and Team Snipers should have been in from the start. I enjoy Grifball too, and that should be kept in as well. At least 343 is optimizing these playlists for the best Halo experience down the road (or for Grifball and Doubles at least, as 343 said). Snipers deserves a spot as well, just as much as the aforementioned Grifball and Doubles.
-
I enjoy both gametypes on Shutout, along with most of the maps on the community playlist. Halo needs that high-paced action that can be supplied through these smaller maps. Lockout is one of the greatest maps of any shooter franchise and it still plays great. It would play even better if certain armor abilities (i.e. Promethean Vision and Jetpack) were taken out.
-
I was wondering the same thing and was hoping there was another thread about CSR's absence. Apparently it isn't there. Hopefully it will be released with the new map pack in late February, or maybe even sooner.
-
I would like to see a 1v1 playlist but only if 343 could find a way to eliminate host advantages. Host means a lot in 1 on 1 game.
-
There are ranks that will be visible in Halo Waypoint in the near future, if that persuades you any. The competitive community needs more ambassadors like this guy to help give a voice to 343. I like Halo 4 a lot, but it's funny how Halo was at its peak population during its competitive days (Halo 2 and Halo 3) and when they try to reach out to the casual community with Halo Reach and, to an extent, Halo 4, population decreases. Seems obviously counter productive to try and expand to the other side of the community and expect population increase, and then population drops significantly. I hope you come back to Halo soon sir.

I never said it wasnt a sport. I was just saying that you cant compare ranking a college football team (or any other sport for that matter) to any system that would be usable in an online game like Halo. I must have read past that sentence saying that you werent trying to compare the two. My bad.
-Please, sir. I prostrate myself before you and beg your forgiveness.It's cool. Just getting the point across. You are forgiven. Lol

The red X returns!
in Halo 4
Posted
That's awesome! That indicator always meant a lot to Halo.
I would always be in situations where I would die and tell my teammates "He's on my X! Oh... never mind." Lol
Sounds like those days are over.
