Hello, my name is Adam and I have been making suggestions for games for a while now; such games as Fallout 3, New Vegas, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Battlefield. There will be one short hand version for those of you light readers and then the descriptive section in which we explore the idea further. Short Hand: Refine Halo 4’s match making search and give players more control over it. Descriptive Section: Previously explored lightly by Bungie with “Halo Reach”, the search feature had a slight flaw in that the feature was somewhat slower than the quick search and it had a loophole. If you were in an Xbox live party, you are considered to have a mic and therefore, a chatty player with a mic plugged in when in reality they were sitting in a party by themselves. This meant that as a player searching for active chatty or players wanting to communication to work together more were left with a bitter taste of maybe one other person with a mic and everyone else in a party. This loophole was never fixed and I doubt they ever knew about it. It was a fantastic idea that I am presuming you gentlemen and ladies over at 343 ran out of time or ruled out on the draw board. The good news is you could easily implement this by taking the coding from reach and adapting it to halo 4. I doubt it being a simple UI fix to be impossible. What we would like to have control over? If you are a chatty player and want to play with other chatty players, give us that option. If you are in a party with friends put that player (if the option is chosen) in games with other people playing with their friends. If you are the type of player to keep you’re mic off for whatever reason, give them the option to play with people like that. Close to player skill. Connection Strength. Ect. (post and I will edit with your name as credit to the idea) I intended this to fix the problem me and a friend of mine have been experiencing with running into players who are in party chat and since my friends skill level is way above mine in a party I get put in games where the players I face beat the crap out of me. The vision behind the idea was to give the player the ability to play with like minded people. That being said, it is possible to take this idea further if you wish to innovate. The above idea is more for a post release game but if you could, An innovative idea to take this even further would be to integrate halo waypoint with Facebook and Halo 4 in a way that would allow you to actually put players together based on common interest, skill level, achievements, and likes using information that we Facebook users give away freely. Thinking of the fact that Facebook now has over 1 billion users and that no other game has been smart enough to hit that gold mine deal with Facebook. (Facebook is hurting with there games section and this would help them immensely though that is another idea.)
