Same. I check about once a week. Very frustrating.

1. PREGAME LOBBY, now with the addition of quit bans being implemented as well as the match composer there is no reason to hide player names in the pregame lobby, if people dodge they get quit banned now. Myself and many other players would like to see who we’re playing against, also a highest rank achieved next to player name would be nice to see in addition to reavealing names in pregame lobby.

2. RANKED GAMES. Fix the ranked matchmaking parameters, a party of 3 35+ players searching together should not be able to match a team of 4 level 10 solo searchers, this should have never made it into an update.

3. Exp progression system like in og halo 3 in addition to ranks

4. Ranked playlists OTHER than just halo 3. There are a total of 7 ranked playlists and 4 of them are Halo 3..there is no CE team arena or halo 4 arena when there should be. Halo 3 doesn’t need 4 playlists

5. Ranked ffa playlist other than just h3, h3 ffa should not have been implemented it should have been multiple halo games crossgame ffa, with it being ranked and now with quit penalties quitting would not be a problem. Many of us have been suggesting this for months now, it’s the only playlist that would do well with crossgame.

thanks

Currently blood gulch is living in the BTB playlist only.

What are the chances of that being changed in the future? Blood Gulch CTF is great for 4v4. Sadly, I didn't even get a chance to play it during its very short time in the 4v4 playlist.

Just a note that if you've already posted something in last month's thread, you don't really need to post it in here again. 343 collate all the feedback and add to their relevant backlogs :)

Any chance to add a Classic Variant of CTF for the Halo CE BTB maps as well? When I mean Classic I mean no banshee's or scorpions just warthogs. Heavy's are great in Halo CE BTB but it'd be great for just a classic variant as well to mix it up. For the heavy variant in Halo CE I would also suggest turning on the fuel rod and flamethrower as well.

I also noticed in the November update that Halo CE BTB was mentioned to have assault as an option but you can only do that in Customs. It really is a great game type in a 8 vs 8 setting and a ton of fun. Ideal Assault gametype is Multi Assault, 20 minute time limit, any CE BTB map besides Hang Em High and you can do either Classic or heavy variant, vehicle reset time to 10 seconds. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to the next update this month.

Can we get ffa for halo 2 in the match composer?

I’m not sure if it’s just me but on Halo 2 Classic I feel like the hit registration is off. Mainly on the sniper and battle rifle.

Minor issue: When someone else is hosting matchmaking searches and we are sitting in the lobby, the only person who can check post game stats is the party leader until they resume searching or until players leave the host to sit in their own lobby.

• MCC HALO GAME: Halo 3 and Halo 4 (and probably Halo 2 Anniversary)
• ISSUE/FEEDBACK: Action Sack & the Extra Game Modes
• ADDITIONAL INFO: Action Sack in it's current state is a bit of a mess, especially the 4v4. It's currently being used to host a series of actual Action Sack gamemodes (Ninja Assassins, Fiesta, Punchout, Splasers, Hammers, Paintball, Husky Raid, etc) and.... the rest of the game modes that don't quite have the outcry and population for their own dedicated spot on the composer like the other modes, but are still game modes that people want to enjoy and play. This leads to several problems

1. People See Action Sack, But Don't Realize What's Inside of It: Action Sack is a well known playlist in Halo. It's been a playlist for a long time and in many of the Halo games. It's been ingrained the community's mind that Action Sack means fun, silly game types that you'd play during a custom games night, party games basically. Fiesta, Hammers, Swords, Assassins, these are the game modes that people think of when they think Action Sack. However, there's more than these party modes in MCC's Action Sack. Regicide and Dominion are notable examples of a game mode that shouldn't be in Action Sack, yet they. But Action Sack's description doesn't make that clear. It doesn't clearly define what game modes are in the playlist. I understand it'd be a lot of game types and modes to list in the playlist description and that checking the "Maps and Modes in this playlist" feature while queuing for a game gives an idea of what's included, but you actually need to start matchmaking to figure that out.
2. BTB Action Sack is NOT Action Sack: Currently, 8v8 Action Sack supports Heavies for Halo 3 and Heavies, Dominion, and Regicide for Halo 4. None of these modes are Action Sack game modes, they are game modes that many expect to be in a normal BTB playlist. Yet, 8v8 Action Sack makes no mention of these game modes, so many will ignore 8v8 Action Sack because they think it's 8v8 party games. And once again, people who do want 8v8 party modes will be left confused and disappointed when they load into one of these games.
3. Several Game Modes are Still Missing from Online Play: VIP, Extraction, Ricochet, and Territories, at least from what I've seen, are currently not in matchmaking at all. Why? Why are some modes thrown into Action Sack but others aren't? I'm not saying they should be thrown into Action Sack with the others, but at least they'd be playable online then.

The Solution: It's simple. Separate Action Sack from the extra game modes and create a separate option named something like "Objective" or Grab Bag" that contains Heavies, Dominion, Extraction, Regicide, VIP, Territories, and any other extra game mode currently not in MCC that one would find in a normal, traditional Halo playlist. Action Sack stays Action Sack, and probably looses support for 8v8 or is given actual 8v8 party modes. And these game modes are given proper treatment.
