Concerns/Questions

[VehementForce]

I had posted these concerns/questions along with my post introducing myself in the introduction forum. I apologize for the duplicates, I just wanted to increase the odds of me getting noticed.

 

Some conerns:

1. Friendly fire against vehicles

-I find it really frustrating when I get that gauss warhog or tank on Exile, and one of my allies gets mad that he didn't get it, then decides he wants to chuck 2 sticky grenades on my vehicle and then shoot at it.

 

2. Website gave me hell when trying to sign up

-I have another account on here, under the <email address removed>. No matter what I did, I could NOT log in to the site. I recovered the password, tried logging in with the sent password, but to no avail. It always just sent me to the same login screen, and would at times not even give an indicator message. I gave up and decided to create a new account.

 

3. The game should provide the option to disable music

-From the woman singing at game startup to the ambient music when waiting in a war game queue, the music is just downright getting old and annoying (No offense). I would really like to see the option to disable this.

 

4. Re-rolling vote selections

I would like to see the option to vote for other options, like in Halo Reach. If I'm feeling like I want to play on Exile all day, I would like to vote for an option to bring up a new choice of maps to vote from (provided Exile isn't one of the choices).

 

 

Now that I got my concerns out of the way, I have some questions:

1. Do deaths by betrayal go on your record? If so, I think they shouldn't.

2. With banshees, I notice sometimes people fire these green explosive balls of energy, how are people doing this? Everytime I'm in a banshee I never managed to do this, despite pressing every button. Is it bad that after 48 levels and having almost a +1000 record I haven't figured this out yet?

3. Are more maps going to be revived from previous games?

for your second question, if you have the standard button layout, use the Y-button. You will see the reticule change shape, and that means you have changed the firing mode of the banshee

Thanks for the response.

I agree with the friendly fire on vehicles. It gets annoying.

Sounds like you got your Banshee question answered. And I'm no too sure about the last question. personally I'd love to see some older maps be remade, but I have no idea.

Do 343i employees ever post on here?

I personally like the music but you know, you could always just mute your TV.......they do make that button now days

...And if I want to hear the game sounds?

This isn't the official 343 site. This is a community ran fan based forum. If you're wanting to contact 343 your best bet would be through Halowaypoint. That is technically the official site of 343.

The friendly fire on vehicles works both ways. If you have a guy on your team take your vehicle and just start betrayal splattering you with it then you can blow it up to save yourself the annoyance. I imagine that is the original reason they made it possible, because a vehicle doesn't require aim assist to wreak havoc, so vehicles become the primary weapons of betrayers in bigger maps.

 

It's hard to find a way to deal with betrayers that doesn't hit a lot of innocent people who just had accidents. Every method I've seen comes with its own set of drawbacks. I think the ability to boot players who betray you is just about as good as it can get.

 

Like many of the complaints I've seen about this game, I end up defending 343 as much as criticizing them. I think it's just really hard to create a balanced response to players just being ***holes.

 

I hate betrayers, I almost never do it deliberately (I will deliberately kill a betrayer because it saves me the trouble of leaving them alive). They are very hard to regulate though. Even in games with absolutely no friendly fire players find ways to be ****s, like blowing up all your team's vehicles on spawn.

I agree that the music should be able to be disabled, even though I personally love it.

 

Also, I'm sure that old maps will be brought back in subsequent updates/map packs.

And yes, betrayal deaths do count.

[Admiral Ackbar]

There are so many old maps I'd love to see again. And I don't really want remakes. I want the maps the way they were but with updated graphics and weapon spawns.

Unfortunately its, in most cases, the players themselves that cause the problems and there isnt much 343i can do about that. The deaths though I dont think should go on your record but the others and negative kills.
