Weighting of H3 BR/AR starts in social 4v4 is definitely NOT 50/50. I’m constantly getting thrusted into matches where it is AR starts at least 75% of the time and on a map like Snowbound or Heretic it is ludicrous. I would be all for even cutting it back all the way to ONLY BR starts. From what I’m aware H2C social 4v4 is strictly BR starts, so making H3 the same wouldn’t be that unreasonable. There are simply too many maps that don’t play well under AR starts to make the weighting as high as it is. I’ve seen many others on here complaining about it so I know I’m definitely not alone in this opinion...

Additionally, I’m having TONS of issues with blank melees in both H2C and H3. I’m losing many close quarters battles because meless aren’t registering and occasionally the animation won’t even happen. I thought perhaps it was my controller so I switched to two other controllers and have experienced the issues on both of them as well. This particular issue is exclusive to Halo 3, in Halo 2 the animation will always show up but melees don’t always register (which has been an ongoing issue for H2C since MCC’s release). But the H3 melees seem to have gotten worse, whereas before the last update I don’t remember having hardly any problems with them. Not sure what’s going on here but this should be addressed.

I'm probably in the minority that prefers the original starting weapons (SMG on H2, AR on H3, etc) on a lot of the smaller maps rather than BR starts on everything; but along similar lines as your comment, some of the games are completely changed and more or less spoiled by BR starts, particularly in H2C.

Example: The map "Midship" in original H2 was always such a glorious and refreshing change of pace because it was different. You had to get creative with duals/grenades/melees since everyone started with a plasma rifle, and a big part of the game was controlling the map and the power weapons with your team. Now it's just spawn and instantly shoot across the map with the BR, and the power weapons lose most of their value since a BR can easily take out a sword/shotgun unless it's close quarters. Simply put, it's a completely different game than that map was originally designed to be.

Suggestion for improvement would be to look at each map individually and determine what starting weapons make the most sense, instead of throwing a 'one size fits all' blanket over all maps. As stated in the quoted post above, BRs are 100% necessary on some maps, particularly the mid to large sized maps...but some of the smaller maps lose much of their fun with BR starts.

Do you guys still have issues connecting to games in MCC specifically Halo 3 hardcore? My brother and I play from the same house, and every 3 or so games, one of us will fail to connect into a game, and the other will be left in a 3v4. I made a video outlining my issues here https://youtu.be/KSMDmB7aJrwWhen

I watch streams, it seems like no one else has problems like I do and it's an isolated issue. But I feel like we can't be the only ones this happens to

Hey 343, why did you have to go and butcher the infection playlist? Hit registration is worse than pre update and lag is too. And what’s the deal with halo 4 maps being so heavily favored? And even when i do get halo 3 maps it’s not normal brains. Im sick of being patient, it’s been almost 6 months and it’s still garbage.

But you can just disable Halo 4; it's one of the most important Composer features: the freedom.

That doesn’t solve my problem in the slightest. I still want to play halo 4, just not 90% of the time. And even if i just chose halo 3 i would get save one bullet and crap like that instead of normal brains. Among numerous other issues...

Well, you can always turn it off in the freaking game options of what you want to play.

game: h2a

issue: played warlord 6 or 7 times in a row on social 4v4 with h2a selected and gamemodes of slayer, CTF, hill, and assualt

couple days ago I kept getting warlord game after game for about an hour or more, playing at least 6 games. during that time, I stayed in the lobby instead of backing out, and was able to get a different map after I backed out to the mach composer and clicked play again to search games.

disclaimer: I don't dislike warlord, it is actually one of my favorite maps in h2a along with shrine and lockout. I just wanted to point out if there is an actual issue in the game or just a coincidence that I kept getting the same map.

Gamemode weighting is way off in multiple playlists. I don’t know how many gamemodes are in social 4v4, lets say 5, then the odds of that happening in one day is 0.0013%, let alone two days in a row. Those types of things are happening in infection as well. Numbers continuously show this shouldn’t be happening.

I strongly disagree with the decision to include friendly fire in Super Duper Fiesta.

Given the game type’s abundance of power weapons, as well as chaotic nature, it’s too easy to unwittingly (or wittingly) betray teammates. To me, the resulting trolling, retaliatory wars, hard feelings and regret have no place in what is otherwise a good time.

AR starts are making the game almost unplayable. The weighting was said to have been changed to 50/50 AR to BR. Feels like 75% AR starts. Nothing like playing Guardian with AR starts when there is only 1 BR on the map. Doesn't H2 Classic have all BR starts on social? Maybe i'm just having bad luck with the weighting, but the watered down AR starts are getting very old, very fast. I wouldn't mind seeing every game become BR starts with AR as secondary weapon. Those that enjoy the AR would have the option to use it, and likewise to those who prefer BR.
