Dislike dying in multiplayer shooters? Put off by the idea of developing competence? Not a problem - join a team. You'll have more people to stand behind when the bullets are flying, and what's more, some of those people may be feeble-minded enough to heal you when you shoot your own feet with a grenade launcher. It's just like friendship in reality!

 

Thanks to the cushioning presence of players whose thumbs are on speaking terms with their brains, the acquisition of skill need never be a priority. Providing, that is, you stay away from certain special Halo 4 playlists. Alas, my fellow oafs - 343 is wise to our coward's tricks and has taken appropriate steps. Next Monday, the developer will add FFA Throwback to the Halo 4 playlists. Its contents: lone-wolf-only variants of Oddball and King of the Hill.

 

"If you've been dominating these modes with teammates, see how the game changes when it's every Spartan for themselves," gloats Jessica Shea, high mistress of Halo Waypoint. Be merciful, Jessica. I've only just worked out which end of a plasma sword does what.

 

The FFA Throwback maps are Haven, Adrift, Complex, Solace and Abandon, and you can bring up to seven other players to the party. You'll need 100 points to win on Oddball and 50 to win on King of the Hill, with a 12 minute time limit. Who's man or woman enough to get involved?

I want to see some Griffball on the playlist, because now with the new oddball changes, it would be freaking AWESOME! But the only chance I get to play is in custom games with only 3 other friends who don't even like Griffball that much. It would be nice to play it once in a while... ::):

Before adding anything new, changes need to be made to fix the problems that are ALREADY here. Most notably, the vehicles placed on the large maps are NOT in ANY way balanced, giving a gauss warthog to one team and leaving a tank just sitting in the middle up for grabs is NOT equal. That leaves the other team with absolutely nothing to fight with but the guns they start with. Exile is the map currently being discussed here but there are others with similar problems like these. I would appreciate taking the time to fix what we already have before adding anything new.

Il be honest, im not unhappy with Halo 4 as a whole.

Its little things like laggy servers (I lose count of the amount of games ive quit to dash on because they dont start) that annoy me.

Ive been playing Halo since day one and 3 has always been the best for me personally, I feel that 4 has done a good job of trying to be like that regarding multiplayer but does fall short in quite a few places.

I for one would like to see some more FFA playlists or even team doubles as they always worked really well for 3 when you cant be bothered to give teamwork lol.

Rank system doesnt bother me much as I just grind away at it having good games and bad, just kicking myself when I lose and not suffering too much because of it.

Well done 343 for not ruining Halo, we'l soon see over the coming months if you listen to your customers and can make the improvements that these long standing gamers are looking for

I dont get the hate that Flood and Regicide are getting and I always found Team Snipers to be boring since the beginning of time but whatever, to each his own. I really miss the multiteam games and Grifball, I would love to see the return of HeadHunter FFA and multiteam. Otherwise the game is pretty solid

doubles definetly needs to be added. lonewolves needs to be added. halo 2 and halo 3 were revered in the gaming community as 2 of the best FPS multiplayer games. listen to the fans bring halo back to the glory days. implement competition with clan battles and a 1-50 ranking system. a sense of achievement and skill progression through adrenaline influenced competition creates the ultimate gaming expierence.
