Hi,
My main feedback is regarding ranked Playlists. Of the 6 games that are available in the MCC multiplayer there are only 4 games covered in the ranked Playlists.
There are 8 ranked Playlists and for some strange reason 4 of them are all Halo 3. 2 of the Playlists are different variations of 2vs2 Halo 3.
Being honest this is ridiculous. It seems logical that every game would have at the very least one ranked Playlist associated with it. Currently Halo 4 and Halo 2 anniversary have no ranked Playlist.
I appreciate you don't want too many Playlists however it's current state is extremely flawed for 90% of the Halo community who want to play varied ranked games.
I have two suggestions for ranked Playlists if you wanted them to stay somewhat permanent. Which I think is a good idea as its extremely frustrating working towards a rank to see the Playlist simply then disappear. Below are my 2 suggestions....
Ranked Playlists Option 1:
- Halo CE Slayer (includes slayer variants, snipers, swat and doubles if searched for as a pair)
- Halo CE Objective (contains CTF, Assault, King of the Hill etc)
- Halo 2 & Anniversary Slayer
- Halo 2 & Anniversary Objective
- Halo 3 Slayer
- Halo 3 Objective
- Halo 4 Slayer
- Halo 4 Objective
- Halo Reach Slayer
- Halo Reach Objective
- Big team Battle (all Halo's, slayer and objective game types. Covering all game modes would give this mode lots of map choice etc.)
I would also add a choice of 2 game options per lobby before the game begins. For example the lobby can take a vote on "Halo 2 team BR's on Lockout" or "Halo 2 Swat on Elongation" in a Halo 2 slayer lobby. Just gives people choice and a vote.
Ranked Playlists Option 2:
This Playlist option has every game as a possibility in every mode. The key thing is as outlined above players get to vote on a game type /game / map before the match begins. These are just examples below and I imagine could be refined.
- Team Slayer
- CTF
- Swat
- Big Team Battle (objective and slayer)
- Objective (all objective modes)
- 2vs2
- Team Snipers
- Slayer FFA
Overall I am trying to show that there is in my opinion a better way for the ranked Playlists to cater for a larger percentage of the community. Essentially so there is something for everyone to play competitively regardless of what particular Halo they might prefer.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
Sam
