Here are some basic ideas for what could benefit/revitalize H3.
The creation a weekly tournament playlist. It wouldn’t be set up like a typical tournament, but rather like other ranked playlists. The only difference is players would be limited to a certain number of games per week, say 25 games per week max. The ranking system would give the player a plus one to their rank for winning and a loss would result in losing a rank. After a player has finished all his games for the week, the player would have a final rank based on some calculation of kills/deaths/assists/objectives scored (I leave that up to Bungie if they consider). For the games played, it would consist of every game type possible in Bungie’s arsenal including, but not limited to slayer, mlg gametypes, objective games, maybe some btb? Basically, have the playlist include every gametype that makes Halo, well, Halo. To make the playlist as fair as possible, each player has to play the same types of games as every other player participating in the tournament ( I don’t know if this is possible, but it would be nice). So for example, every person would have to play slayer on guardian, mlg ctf on the pit, swords on isolation, and assault on last resort, etc… you get the picture. In addition, the playlist would change every week to keep things new and fresh. Although this would take away from other playlists, it has potential to bring back players who quit the game because of the lack of competition and/or fun.
My second idea is to have a place to submit map ideas to Bungie. I’m not talking about an in-game map creator like Unreal Editor or maps players created in forge, but designs for maps that you think would be extremely fun/competitive. This is not saying that because someone submits a design for a map, Bungie must make it, but rather look at and take any ideas they find useful from it and if created, give a little credit to the person. If this idea is created, Bungie wouldn’t have to look at all(or any) of the designs. I realize that plans for new maps are planned for quite awhile, but I still think the community’s ideas would benefit the end reaction towards the new maps are released to the public. There would obviously have to be a limit on the amount of designs a player could submit and harsh penalties for anything immature/ obscene. Perhaps allowing a player to submit one design a month and have a total of three designs in queue before the player has to delete one to submit a new/optimized one. Obviously the designs would have to have some type of basic standards such as scale and a legend to describe things on the map such as objective locations, features such as man-cannons, and weapons/equipment. I know this is risqué and probably pointless, but I’ve always enjoyed coming up with ideas for maps - even if it’s the smallest smidgen out of your design used in a new map - and I’m sure a lot of the community would enjoy this as well.
Feel free to expand on these ideas.
