Prepare for an Oblivion for which there is no preparation!

Remove the vehicles on maps/gametypes that don't need them. Single Ghosts on Snowbound and Isolation Slayer-type (non-objective) are a bit ridiculous, especially considering there are only one of them. Its similar, but not as extreme, as having hornets in a map... Get the ghost and dominate.

Rockets, Rockets, Rockets. In my opinion, the rockets are there to take down vehicles. Every weapon has a purpose, right? Well, very few people use them solely to take down vehicles. Personally, I would like to seem them removed completely, but I know that is a little extreme. Perhaps the amount of ammo that spawn with could be limited to 1 clip, with some ammo a distance away. If the time between shots was tweaked, it could solve the issue as well. I feel the rocket is overpowered, but I also think it can serve a great purpose at stopping vehicles. Heavy artillery used point blank to take down infantry is a little extreme.

Bungie Favorites...
A great possible playlist addition could be Bungie favorites. Similar to the style of DLC(only DLC maps), Bungie favorites would be matches made up of "playable" maps and gametypes on Bungie favorites. Many people download Bungie favorites, but never get enough people to enjoy them.

Do What You Gotta Do

Posted by: XGC DONKEY LIPS

I literally laughed out loud and woke my brother's baby up. Haha and to make it even more funny is how Al Snow was always a favorite of mine. Lol but yeah...

-Also Bungie I would love to see all the new forge items on old maps like the walls, man cannons, double boxes, etc.

I think one betrayal should not be grounds for booting, I know it's not always like that, it seems random from 1-2 betrayal bootings. But it should be 2 because accidents do happen.

It won't change de gameplay, but I would like to see the black color for armors. Not a dark gray, a pure black. And a new veto system would be nice. The game is already so great, there is not a lot to change.

i completely agree with this guy and just make a simple one vs. one with radar and make it slayer and has anyone tried the br duel? ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN! i mean come on the loser knows where ur at and the winner has a red arrow pointing himself out and no radar that stupid in my opinion just make it simple dont make it so complicated i mean i rather lose to a guy hiding then have to tie someone everyone because someone is too scared to make a move. Honestly ive played about 15 games of head on head and the whole game is opponents staring at each other waiting for the other one to move.

Something totally off of matchmaking that i've always wanted is something where you can choos to have waves of flood and/or covenant come after you and your friends on xbox live. and maybe you could include some AIs in there too. you may need different types of maps than multiplayer maps.
i'd also like to see map variants with more destructive wepons. just for a small margine of games have the wepons scale more destructive. ie more rockets, brute shot, sniper, heavy vehicles, and maybe a bit more damage resistance and speed.

Bungie please add sniper rifles on Stand-Off. I Know theres no Team Snipers and all, But could you please speed up the sniper spawn times on all of the maps. I'm sure everyone would appreciate this because it will make everyone that loves sniping happy and more people will get the chance to snipe = NO more one person hogging snipe . Don't you Think?

- Lower the BR spread or just add a option to do it in customs!
- Fix the bullet registration.
- Allow dedicated servers.
- Add something that makes close range more skillfull/deep.
- Make the spawn system more like Halo 2, it was good!
- A real "flag touch return" option.

An option to veto gametype OR map.

I like BR starts and snipers.

I hate some maps no matter what weapon I start with.

We shouldn't have to play crappy gametypes on good maps or good gametypes on bad maps (Team BRs Guardian, Team Snipers High Ground, BRs epitaph).

And as hundred of thousands of halo fans around the world have said, a freaking snipers playlist.

Also, Indicator over both ppls heads the entire game no matter who is in the lead in head to head, that eliminates camping, but keeps the game fair. I hate playing against someone I can out BR every time when it's a fair start but they always tie it because they can nade around corners and crap because they see exactly where I'm at but I have no clue where they are.

First off, we need some of the more powerful weapons and vehicles on maps in matchmaking, as well as those that aren't used, such as the Gauss Warthog, the Scorpion Tank, the Sentinel Beam, and the Fuel Rod, as well as more Covenant weapons on maps, like the Carbine, and the Plasma Rifle. Weapon lowering on X-Box Live, but only in Custom Games and Forge. Some weapons, like the Magnum, SMG, and the Spiker are underpowered. They need some special properties, or increased damage in order to be used more often. I also suggest a new system of custom weapons. First, you select a map. Then, from the game options, you could select ANY of the weapons on the map. For example, in a custom game on Snowbound, you could make players start with a Carbine and a secondary Plasma Rifle, but on Sandtrap, none of those weapons would be available in the game options. Whenever you switched a map, the weapons would be reset to the Assault Rifle. Also, provide more options for Forge mode. Make stuff float in the air without having to be put on a teleporter. Keep spherical objects from rolling down a hill. Allow more weapons to be put on the map, like increase the maximum amount of weapons on each map by 8, so that you could put down 24 Battle Rifles, or 16 Rocket Launchers. And 2 Scorpion Tanks/ Wraiths or 4 Warthogs on a map is ridiculously low. Increase the maximum amount of vehicles on each map by about 2, so that you could have 4 Scorpion Tanks, and 6 Warthogs on Sandtrap. Also, increase the amount of money on each map. Nothing too drastic. Just add about one or two houndred dollars to play with on each map. Foundry needs more money and a larger maximum number of scenery objects a LOT. Also, as others said before me, make options in Custom Games and Forge regarding your microphone and who you can speak to. Make it to be either No Talking, Team Only, or Everyone. It is annoying that I have to send my buddy a private chat invite whenever we play infection. Also, completely remove the Push to Talk feature, or change it to Push to Talk only when there are more than 6 people in the party. It makes no sense to me why I have to push my D-Pad when I want to talk to my team. Also, make equipment more useful. For example, Trip Mines should kill a player on foot with one mine, Bubble Shields need to last a little longer, Radar Jammers and Flares should not affect the team of the person who deployed them, Deployable Cover needs to be pumped up substantially; it should self-destruct existing after a certain amount of time, it should be able to take more damage, and it should be able to be deactivated at least 3 times before it is destroyed. The Spike Grenade should have a wider area of damage and the Spikes should bounce more, and the Frag Grenade should have its damage and area of damage increased a little bit. The Anti-Air Wraith should be made a vehicle in multiplayer if possible, but only in Custom Games and Forge, as it is not IN THE LEAST balanced. The Transport Warthog would be a very useful vehicle in matchmaking. It could be faster than a normal Warthog, and it should hold 4 players, including the driver and the front seat passenger. The Spectre should be brought back, as it was a MUCH better vehicle than the current Prowler, but you should keep both. The Sniper Rifle should be easier to use, and should be given auto-aim while scoped, since sniping in Halo is way harder than in other shooters. You should make it possible for people to fast forward much faster, as well as reverse the video in Theater mode. You should increase the maximum number of custom files that a player can have total, from 100 to something like 150. The Hornet on Avalanche should be made stronger; its machine guns should do more damage, a little bit lower than the damage of the normal Hornet. DO NOT REMOVE AUTO AIM! It makes it almost impossible to kill anything. Just try shooting at your teammates in Team Slayer. When you switch to the Gravity Hammer, reduce the time it takes you to switch to it. The Hammer is underpowered compared to the Shotgun or the Energy Sword due to its slow swing time, and it is very dangerous to switch to it in battle because you have to somehow rest it on your left hand before you can actually kill anything with it, and that takes like 4 seconds; time that you could have killed something with. Shades however underpowered they may be, as well as those Missile Pod Turrets, should be allowed to be put into Forge mode. The player should be INVULNERABLE when the damage resistance settings are set to invulnerable. That means you, Mr. Assassination, and you too Mrs. Splatter by Fast Moving Vehicle. There should be more armor permutations, even though this is just a very happy dream. Brute Plasma Rifles would also be very enjoyable by players, but I feel that the normal Plasma Rifle just shreds through shields very fast anyway, and taking shields down faster than it is now would just be very unbalanced. Penalties for quitting a game should be more severe. There are WAY too many quitters in Big Team and Multi Team. One should be taken away 5 EXP for quitting any Big Team or Multi Team or Team Doubles game, so as to teach people to STOP QUITTING. I have only played 3 out of like, 30 games of Big Team Battle where no one quit in the entire game. The End!/

I'm like Allstate with a sniper rifle. Your in good hands.

As everyone before and after me has and will state, a RANKED shotty snipers, or snipers playlist would be great. also anyway to establish a better host, or stop the game from switching hosts in the middle of the game, it gets really annoying when it switches and I restart, it has happened more than twice in one game before, so please if there is anyway to fix it. Better spawns as well, and if there is anyway to up the grenade count, we have slots for eight but the most you can carry on any map is six, so maybe add like one additional grenade slot for frag, plasma and spike grenade would be awesome, thanks for being so involved with your community Bungie we all appreciate what you guys do.

Thanks

Sniper Playlist

More Forged foundry maps on matchmaking

On head to head, both players have a waypoint or none at all, on atleast some games.

Likely impossible, but have a custom game finder in the game, but to only be able to get EXP in matchmaking (so matchmaking is still used).

  • 06.03.2008 11:04 PM PDT

there is a huge problem with assault riffle start games. Let's start by saying they show little skill and people WANT BR's. The thing I found that is a problem with AR-start games is when you die you don't start with a BR, but the other team already has a BR so they just overpower you.

Another problem is how somebody with a mauler can kill a sword wielder (If they shoot and beat down). I think a sword should trump a mauler.

Also snipers playlist is a top priority.

I know a lot of people don't like the melee system, but I find it's just find once you get the hang of it.

You also have to spend more time on cheaters. Social games should not give -1 exp when you quit out of it.

  • 06.03.2008 11:04 PM PDT

Tre BEAST.

I actually want the scorpian in matchmaking. second I also want the prowler. And also we need some special new maps like a map with the under water elephant and such we just need new twist.

  • 06.03.2008 11:05 PM PDT

i agree mostly on the snipers playlist. H2 had so many playlists you could choose from. we finally got our swat playlist now we need things like shotty snips and just snipers playlists. more specific playlist is pretty much what i'm getting at
