-Team Doubles-
Regarding Gametypes:
-For Objective Gametypes
--Option A: Remove objective altogether. (This I prefer)
--Option B: Remove 1 Flag, Add BR starts to every other objective.
Regarding Maps:
-Remove all Sandbox Maps, or exchange them for maps that are good.
-Add Ghost Town for Slayer
Team Slayer:
Remove Orbital and Tundra, both maps are terrible for competitive play in both layout and spawn points.
Double EXP:
Since you guys don't want to keep adding a playlist every weekend, just add some type of permanent DBEXP Playlist which would be a mix of a bunch of the DBEXP gametypes. This game is pretty much dead now, so there's no reason to not do it permanently, as a "for-fun" playlist. You guys don't even ban for exp boosting anymore so why not?
Other:
Remove Action Sack: Incorporate it's gametypes into the new DBEXP Playlist
Remove Rumble Pit - there's no reason to have this active.
Remove Team Mythic - pointless, the map pack has been out for a long time now.
Remove SWAT - Add the SWAT gametype into the new DBEXP Playlist.
Remove Snipers - Add back to either Social Slayer or the new DBEXP Playlist.
Add a Ranked Team Flag playlist - This is a wild dream at best, but I think it would be really fun. Change nothing from how it was when it was DBEXP.
You guys obviously have no intention of caring too much about Halo 3 anymore, so give it an update at least once. Ideally, quarterly would be best, though. People still play it, and it still has a community of about 50,000 people or so. I'm sure a lot of people would like this change.
The Playlists would be as follows:
Ranked:
Lone Wolves
Team Slayer
Team Doubles
Team Flag
MLG
Social:
Social Slayer
Social Skirmish
Multi Team (Could be taken out, or added into DBEXP Playlist)
Social BigTeam
DBEXP (permanent)
I think this would bring a welcoming, fresh change into Halo 3, while fixing a few of the current issues. Feel free to add input, guys.
edit: If anything at all at least take objective out of doubles, as it is -blam!- terrible. Or at least remove oddball and one flag.
And take AR starts out of ranked. AR is a terrible spawning weapon and in high ranked gametypes it gets completely unfair when it is AR starts. One mistake and it's over, especially when people in different countries are playing each other.
You guys made Halo Reachs ranked playlists all DMR starts, and that may have been one of the few things you did right with reach. Make Halo 3's ranked playlists all BR starts all the time.
edit 3/18/11:
Title Update Halo 3:
Add a LOCALE search
Put your global rank next to your level and move the playlist rank to either the otherside or in their service record.
Doubles
No, it is fine as it is, it would just become team slayer with a smaller team if objective were removed. Besides, objective is fun.
Team slayer
I agree, those maps become such bs after one team starts to control.
Double exp
GOD YES! I hated it how they completely rid of D-EXP. I do remember Bungie saying they would send it off with a bang.....when did this happen?
Anyway, action sack should be removed every weekend in replace for double exp. Bring back some numbers which i am sure they won't do, they're trying to kill off Halo 3 like they did with Halo 2.
Other than that i agree with you except for the playlists. Yes, i would like ranked team objective, but it belongs in Team doubles. Permanent D-EXP no, because thats all people will end up playing. Keep it to a weekend only.
EDIT: Oh and about the local search, there just isn't enough numbers for that feature anymore. Plus there is a function called Search good connection.
