First off let me start by saying I absolutely love this game, and It's really funny seeing all these negative posts on here about how broken and terrible it is. (Anyone who had a bungie.net account saw the same thing happen for halo 2,3 and reach)
That being said, I think that playlists are probably the most important thing for halo matchmaking, and I think 343 could have handled it better.
-Firstly, I think they completely neglected some really good playlists. I understand that they can only have a certain amount, but with things like dominion and oddball holding entire plalists, they really prioritized the wrong ones. I think they are really beating around the bush by not having a team snipers playlist. Say what you will about team snipers, but eventually theyre going to end up adding it in just like they did in halo 3 and reach because of community demand. They got rid of standard free for all and replaced it with regicide which isn't such a big deal but in my opinion it's a definite downgrade. There's no team doubles which upsets me because it was one of my favorite playlists.
- Secondly, in the "infinity slayer" playlists, the only gametype it offers you is normal slayer. Halo 3 team slayer would throw you options like team magnums or shotty snipers. I think this kind of diversity really adds to a game. In big team slayer it never gives you the option to vote for ctf or anything like that which is a shame because sometimes big team objective games are fun. They made objective games like oddball or ctf their own playlists, which takes away room for other playlists like multi team or team snipers.
- Finally I think there should be a playlist that is closer to classic halo. No choosing your spawn weapon, no loadouts, no abilities, no calling for drop in power weapons.
Other than these issues I think it's a really great game
What do you guys think?
