Fix what we have, then once we get that right, either:

A) Introduce more of the same.

B) Make the changes for ranked Halo 4 playlists.


Amen.

Um, Arena is ranked. All they need to do is add SWAT, MLG, ect.

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

Step 1: Remove jetpacks and the terrible asymmetric maps from Arena.

Step 2: Add MLG Arena.

:D

Well we've got several great maps sitting in the Anniversary playlist just waiting to be taken advantage of for Arena games. Doubt we'll be seeing them any time soon though.

MLG is already testing with them. Screw Arena.


I should play more MLG, really. Never really got into it though....probably because I lacked a team, and also am not too amazing anyway.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

Do people still play Arena? Just curious. I know it's population was anemic before, but haven't checked it in some time.

Yes people do. It takes forever to find a game sometimes, but I find it more entertaining then other playlists.

- remove AAs. seriously.. we have like what...1-2 playlists w/o AAs. we need some more. AAs do not promote ranked or competitive gameplay.


With the possible exception of sprint off-spawn, and evade pickups.

- remove community maps, caged/uncaged. some maps from commnity selection are bad, while others are well done. the caged variants are garbage.

Yes.

basically, if you remove AAs, reflection and sword base will play much better.

Sword Base would actually play worse. If jetpacks aren't involved then the map is really easy to shut down. I'd just remove it.

- add 1-50 halo 2 style. it was really succesful

Yes.

- add classic settings/TU updated settings. again. promotes competitive gameplay. no 3sk pistol though.

No, don't use the anniversary gametypes. Use zero bloom.

And some of my own ideas:

-No radar.

-Return of the arena standard weapon set.

-Return of the veto system, instead of the voting system.

-Require the noble map pack so Anchor 9 can be seen regularly (preferably a space-free version). It's an excellent map.

-Replace Asylum with a better Sanctuary remake. They're out there.

-Just about every map could use a rebalance. Countdown should use the MLG weapon set. Zealot too.

-Remove Sword Base and Boardwalk.

-All that would leave us with just Zealot, Countdown, Powerhouse, Reflection, Asylum/Sanctuary, and Anchor 9 as standard maps, plus the possibility of Uplink, Dammy, Prisoner, and Beaver Creek, and maybe Hang Em. Which I have no problem with, but some may crave more map variety, so a couple of fresh forge world maps might be okay.
