Constant state of war, of one, with all.

What if Bungie split up the multiplayer gametypes to reflect the type of gamer? In PDZ you could pick between tactical and deathmatch types. Example: You go into multiplayer on the main screen and it gives you the option of Darkops and Deathmatch in PDZ. This would separate the people that like to run and gun and the people who like more of a thinking game.

I see alot of people say they only play Rumble Pit, Slayer, Team Slayer and the other variations. I assume that a the case where they like individual achievment. Maybe this locker room of gametypes can be called Battleground.

I also see alot of people that want to play Capture the Flag, Oddball, King of the Hill, Race are just a few examples. Maybe these are not the best examples, but you get the idea. Play as a team, communicate and make strategies. This camp could called ONI Ops.

Pros:
a. You separate the people that play the game into their play styles. I find two main play styles: Run and Guners and Strategists.
b. It wouldn't be hard to understand, I mean, there are two options.

Cons:
a. There will always be those people that are confused/ alienated by something like this.

NOTICE: For those of you who have played Perfect Dark Zero multiplayer, you will know what I am talking about. I am not suggesting a copy cat multiplayer, I am just using an idea and building.

I know this and as I stated above, I built on an idea.

These seems to be alot of people that don't even play anymore due to the little kids taking over. This way of sorting would help you make the decision of where to play.

I personally think its a wonderful idea, would make me happy, and my friends to get together for those larger games, though in CTF and Bomb we always play as a team lol.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

Good idea.

When I first read this I was hoping someone would suggest an age restriction of some sorts. I hate playing with lil kids that never shut up. I must have muted 1000 people by now.

Hi Everyone,

Came back after a little time off. I like what you are saying marsman0013. I think maybe this should be specified when you make your online persona. You know how we all piced our colors, logo and so on and so forth.. Have another field that asks you age and maybe a few other identifiers to help you fit.

I think there should be a vote player out option, it works great in alot Pc and xbox games. It would also work out better if we were able to chose the servers we play on, so those of us who like strategic could stay on that server, and the host can kick out any kids messing out the match. This matchmaking system for Halo 2 makes online play annoying and sometimes not fun at all. Bungie better seriously try something new, or at least give those of us who want to chose servers a choice, and others to go through the matchmaking system.

Halo is a run and gun game. Objective matches are probably as far as "thinking games" are going to get in Halo 3.

agreed. I myself get a annoying kid maybe one out of 10 games, most the time it's some rude adult instead.

That is a good point powerofthepeople. That would be a simple solution.

This is for BlockBurner:

I know that and so does everyone else. I just think we should finally seperate those of us that want to play the game slower, want to communicate and play as a team opposed to those people that want to play slayer over and over and over. run and gun gets boring quickly with me. the cool thing about halo is that even though it is more geared towards frantic gameplay, we still have an option to play tactically
