You know I used to totally be against the drop in / drop out shit but I can see now why it's important to have. I mean, I'm always gonna be playing the MLG gametypes, unless stock Halo 4 is great. But, I can see the casual players just wanting to hop in a game and play.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a warm up match that didn't end? Like, score is unlimited. The only way the match ends is if everyone leaves at the same time. So, you just got on Halo and wanna get into some ranked but wanna warm up for the competition. You hop in the warm up playlist, join a match in progress, play for 5-10 and quit out. Someone else will take your spot right away. Would be pretty cool.

Those endless games are great fun sometimes, I remember i dropped into a h2v game and the leader had like 80 kills in about 40 mins i was 30+ kills infront of him and still donging around lockout.

Yeah, there needs to be a warm-up playlist where no stats are recorded, there's no winner/loser, or score. Would be great.

I agree for the most part, I dont think its the changes reach made that caused people to stop playing halo. I think its just halo fell out of favour. People like to play with friends and if their freinds are on CoD then Cod is what they are on.

Reach's gameplay is fine for the most part, people hate AL and such but people hate specific weapons in CoD and yet its still played.

A heavily in your face reward system for H4 would be great but i doubt we will see something like that. The commendation system was borderline but after 2 weeks id forget they even existed im still shocked when i see one pop up. They need to be MUCH bigger.

Iv got a lot of empty screen for alot of my play time and games like Gears and CoD constantly throw things up on to my HUD and i feel like its worth me playing them because of these notifications.

There are so many guns in COD that the issue is even big. Reach has a limited set of weapons, well Halo always had a set of limited weapons, so thats why it really becomes bothersom.

While the idea behind notifications is fine, feeling like the player is impacting the game for himself and the rest, I feel developers have gone overboard with this concept. The commendation system in Reach was poor, because you lacked the feel that you made any progress. It's more like, ohh look nice and then you don't give a crap about them anymore.

I just can't think of a good reason for it to launch in 2012 other than MS possibly wanting to have a new slate of their major platforms all launch in 2012 (Windows 8, Windows Phone "Apollo", and Xbox).

My original vision of what Arena was going to be. Drop in Drop out matches of unlimited slayer. Career stats and points. Would have been cool.

 

[Striker]

Anything not ranked needs to be that way. No stats, no win/loss tally, nothing. Of course in game it keeps track who won, but once it passes onto the next game, it's wiped out. Bungie opted to keep track of these social aspects in H3 and on, but I don't like it. Unranked playlists should never have any reasonable stats to track because they're all meaningless for competition. These (select) playlists should be for experimenting with new gametypes, guests, and so forth, as well. They've gone overboard in social/unranked stuff in H3/Reach, and it stinks.

Its not the casualness that matters. People would play Halo and it would go up if the game was more accessible and flowing. Its not though.

Stubborn MM details.
-Why cant social be drop in drop out? its social the games DON'T MATTER!
-As soon as someone quits its lopsided as fuck. As soon as more quit it can get super boring waiting around on that one douchebag who doesn't. Add bots in to replace, or keep a unmoving carbon copy of the player to add deaths to his stats to deter quitting. Then replace that person by a drop in player when available
-MM in social with guests and retarded party limits and no trueskill makes all social games lopsided as fuck anyways.

Low FPS and host hiccups are more common. A smooth running game is more fun to play.

CoD
Start game
Choose what you want to play
Play

Halo
Start game
Choose playlist
Larger MM time for a shitty matchup anyways
Choose gametype/map, none of above? wait longer
Get in game
Play. Hope noone quits because they are PROBABLY host. Why the fuck do these quitters always get host? I never quit and have FiOS, I should have host 99% of the time.

I'll go on later.

Nailed it again Juices.

I was talking to some people from here...and Xand P) the other day about how in COD, you can set the multiplayer gateway to be default option, therefore loading the game would take you straight to the MP menu.

It would be cool for Halo to implement this, maybe go as far as choosing a preferred default playlist of your choosing.

It does not have to be exclusive to the MP portion only either.

Giving us more initial options to eventually streamline our experience is no bad thing IMO.

Isn't that actually the resolution of COD on PS3?

Actually that's the res of Star Ocean 4 in Battle.

These are the CoD resolutions:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: World at War = 1024x600 (2x AA)

Glitch or not, I think people take issue with melee bleedthrough and headshot bleedthrough.

Love it or hate it, Halo 4 needs to pick a stance/style and stick with it, the playlists are just too messy now in Reach. It also needs information on the screen while a game is loading that says what the game type is and what that entails. I feel these 2 things are very important.

Wow the Dead Space games are actually 720. I'm sure that helps in how great they look. DS2 is my top game for graphics on 360.

Cool site.

And in the case of Black Ops, the PS3 resolution is actually sub-600, which is what I was thinking off.

Xbox 360: Call of Duty: Black Ops = 1040x608 (2xAA)
PS3: Call of Duty: Black Ops = 960x544 (2xAA)

I agree. All the custom options are nice, but at some point, I feel that a game should be a developers vision, and you are paying to play their vision. The core design mechanics of the game should be clear and consistent throughout the game.

Just looked through the list quickly, but noticed that BF3 and the AC games are 720.

Customs is a place for anything in between.

Plus any bleedtrough in 85%? If so thats not how Reach was meant to be played.

It doesn't matter if your opinion is it plays better, its just another gametype playstyle muddling up the playlists.

Simplify the playlists. Narrow them down. Fix them.

I outlined my major plan to simplify it but nobody listens. Nobody gives a shit.
