Clans

[Ignurance/Education]

This may have already been asked before and I apologize if that is the case, but who wants to see clans again like in Halo 2? I never understood why they took that feature out.

I'll like to see it come back. They haven't said anything about it so there's a 50/50 chance. But if they isn't it won't bother me. Clans were still formed and competed against one another in Halo 3 and Reach. We would probably just do that again.

I think that would be awesome!

I comletely agree here... either way its not going to change my interest in the game.. but it would make it a lot easier to manage my community's division/s as they grow and more divisions are needed to form for management of members for competition ect...

agreed it would be good to see it come back. but the prob with clans are this...

1. wars involving people glitching for overload in that clan

2. spamming communications

3. security to accounts risk

4. cyber commandos that blab too much

 

But one big reason why they too it off is because on the old system we didn't have communication between the games. (as much)

But now we got that big time on the 360, however we do have the want for it to come back to this game that would mean people will get but hurt untill it is on all games.

 

Another good reason why they got rid of it is because enemy clans would glitch for overlord. this would give them the rights to promote people to that permission level. That would wreck a clan if they did that.

 

However simple steps can be made to fix this problem and more. Even to the ability to set up different ranks with permissions within that rank.

 

so yea i hope they bring it back!!!

I actually posted something about a possible clan gametype, where clans fight each other in objective-based story-driven matches similar to Gang Wars in Max Payne 3. I included details involving the structure of the teams, the possible developments of the war between two clans, and even the backstories of each mission. My post is called Awesome Halo4 Gametype Idea, with tag "343 should hear this."

I think they said that they were going to add more social features to Halo Waypoint. I think they used the word clan a few times when talking about it.

[DoctorB77]

It would be really cool. But I wouldn't get involved at all. I hate stupid politics in clans. I would only join one if there was a clan for this forum

I hate how serious some people take clans. I never join them in any game.

[SatanicBagels]

They confirmed that they were improving features to support clans in Halo 4. You should probably expect what you remember from Halo 4 or perhaps they will add even more in depth features to the game.

We should change the name from clans to Squads, because it is a military game, not warcraft.

Yes but squads is more for teams of 4-5 soldiers in it. Perhaps it should be called a batillion (or a fleet for sanghelli clans).

Yes your probably right. Or they could call them battle groups....

I never had Xbox live when I had Halo 2, so I don't know what they did to help out with clans. Could someone explain what they did?

I do too, that's why I made sure that the clan I was joining was laid back and light on rules before joining. Your typical modern clan is a breeding ground for drama which I despise considering the purpose of video gaming for me is to have an enjoyable experience.

They had a simple system where you could invite others to your clan and you could give them ranks within the clan. Your clan was easily accessible with the push of a button. It was all contained within a simple menu.

[Dinosaurdaniel]

I hope they bring this back and hopefully add a playlist to face other clans. i think that would make it would be alot of fun for people who are actually interested in clans and trying to make you and your clan more powerful.

[Playa]

i would love to see a clan system. Inever played H2 online, but from what ive herd with a little tweaking, it could be a great idea that would keep people coming back for more.

[SykoWolf]

They should have a ranking system you can employ for clans

More specificaly, it was basically a 2nd friends list. You know how you have a tab for friends, messages; well you would have another for clans with up to 100 members that acted exactly like a friends list. You had an "Overlord" that had full control over who can be in or out of the clan.

 

I'm sorry many of you had bad experiences with clans. General rule of thumb, unless the clan has a active forum, dont join it. Many clans have communities with the same believes shared with 343i.org. And dont have restrictions as long as you enjoy playing with the people in the clan and respect them. Personnaly, with Podtacular we have a recreational clan and a competitive clan. One for people that just want another f/l of 100 people that play to have fun and to be able to join our events and the other for people that played to win.

[Tallgeese]

Personally after the whole Clan deal with Halo 2, clans became too serious and a joke in my opinion. If you want to play with people, play with friends, just join as groups like people learned to do in Halo 3 and Reach. Bringing clans back wouldnt bother me at all, I just wouldnt participate.

[SykoWolf]

Clans are fun, but only when done properly. None of this Ultra serious BS. Sure you can have ranks and order, but its not a real military so dont act like it. Clans allow competitive gaming to go a step further suhc as by having all out clan wars which in practise are quite fun, cause your fighting to win, not just for fun. Bragging rights help too
