1. 'Age Group' filters: When not playing with a group of friends, I'm tired of finding myself in a room full of mouthy punks. Please Bungie, put your heads together, save us from the madness. I have two ideas in this regard (neither allows for creeps to filter for those under the legal age, nor do they require Bungie or MS to verify age).
1a. Pre-matchmaking 'Age Group' filter: filters for games by user-defined 'Age Group'. If I choose, pre-game, that I want to play with gamers between the ages of 25 and 30, then I will be matched up with other gamers who have set the same preference. Sure people could lie. Sure kids could still get in the games. However, I would think, given the extra step, that the numbers of kids playing up would be less than what is the case today. Oh and to those who say this will make finding games that much harder, I say I would rather wait an extra couple minutes in order to avoid the loud and obnoxious voices which plague H3.
1b. 'Age Group' voice filter to be accessed via in-game menu. Allows similar 'binary' filtering as found in (1a).
2. Opaque Bubble Shield: the bubble shield, I feel, would be more playable if it were opaque from the outside. In this way the player who deployed the bubble shield would be able to see out but those on the outside would not be able to see in.
3. Sniper Rifle Clip Size: decrease from 4 to 2. The difference between those who dominate with this weapon and those who struggle is night and day. Such power should come at a greater cost.
4. The magnums are flipp'n useless... I never pick them up. Nobody ever picks them up. I can't remember the last time I was taken down by one... Why not just put a teddy bear in the game? It would be just as useless as your de-powered magnums.
