HyBRiDx Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 So having a single list of playlists seems a bit redundant to say the least especially when you have to scroll to see a playlist, that's not very good in terms of HCI, as you should always be able to see the playlists at first glance. In my mind the way Halo 3/Reach separated the playlists into groupings makes the lists much more manageable and dynamic. Below are suggestions to playlist groupings with suggested defaults and maps for use. CSR Playlist FFA Standard - Mainly slayer with lower chance of objective types. Team Slayer - Basic team slayer Team Snipers - Team snipers Team SWAT - Team SWAT (1 loadout only?) MLG - TBA see my suggestions for playlists as a whole below. (Small maps + community maps) Doubles - See below as well All CSR playlists should playout as classic Halo games (same loadout at start, weapons on map, no abilities? no ordinance, reach kill limit not score) Unranked Slayer playlists Infinity slayer Big team infinity slayer Multiteam Unranked FFA (rumble pit) Objective playlists CTF Oddball Big team objective Skirmish Community Griffball Action sack Flood If you want to add any suggestions or questions please leave a response below.

Daniel Powell Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Halo 4 Experience - Infinity Slayer inc; Infinity Slayer, Infinity Slayer Pro, SWAT** -Infinity Objective inc; King of the Hill, Oddball, Dominion, Capture the Flag, Extraction - Infinity Big Team inc; Big Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, Flood? Playlists would use default Halo 4 settings Throwback Experience -Team Slayer inc; Team Slayer, Team BR's, Team DMR's** -Team Objective inc; King of the Hill, Oddball, Assault, Territories*, Stockpile* -Lone Wolves inc; Free For All Slayer, Swords, Juggernaut*, Headhunter*/Regicide Uses Halo 3 settings, DMR only available on Reach Gamemodes Join in progress is not allowed Sprint and all abilities are disabled; including gameplay modifiers Killcam is Disabled Community content is allowed; Remakes ONLY Ranked - Team Slayer - Team Doubles - FFA - MLG Community Content is allowed Join in progress is not allowed Ranked playlists would have to be tested in order to ensure the maximum team effort experience and thoroughly examined to ensure the best settings are set so some serious game play action can occur. I personally think Ranked playlists should use Halo 3 settings. Community Playlists - Weekly rota of playlists inc; Community Slayer, Community Big Team, Grifball, Infection, Team Snipers, FFA type games and anything the community enjoys Rules of the playlist would vary on what playlist is currently available. e.g. Killcam disabled for Team Snipers, enabled in Free For All. *Gametype does not currently exist, Please note that 343 and Bungie ensured the engine that Halo 4 uses is quite capable of quickly recreating gametypes. So such gametypes are a possibility **Unsure whether it would work or people would enjoy it. EDIT: Infinity Slayer and Infinity Objective could easily be merged into one playlist as could Team Slayer and Team objective in the throwback playlists and a Pre-Halo 4 version of Big Team Slayer could be added to Infinity Big Team.

HyBRiDx Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Seems a good playlist selection though Snipers needs to be in there somewhere Definitely agree with having classic/throwback experience included somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Powell Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Seems a good playlist selection though Snipers needs to be in there somewhere Definitely agree with having classic/throwback experience included somewhere I put it in the Community/weekly playlist slot. Using Team snipers in there would give people a chance to submit team sniper maps, I feel that with such gametypes we should utilize the community to make them even better!

Ah yes i must have missed it there. I think that 343 need to push more to work with the community for maps, gametypes etc in the coming days. Forge is feeling under used so far, and though there is no forge world there are still some forge maps that can used to improve playlist map selecttions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The launch experience and current overall experience would of been so much better if we just had a Halo 4 Beta. We're just going to have to wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyBRiDx Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 This is...it's just perfect... Glad you agree. I am hoping once they stop this ridiculous playlist cycle they might actually give us a good variety of playlists, with decent sorting.
