Will 343i Fix the FIle Browser?


Recommended Posts

One of the main problems with Halo: Reach and Halo 4 is that the file browsers were hard to get a piece of the pie with: Either your map was good and everyone local enjoyed it, or the map was pointless and no one enjoyed it, at least that's how it was for me. Before I get to the main question, I must ask, Will the old file browsers transfer over? My answer is, "For the love of god, no!"


 


The file browser suffered from the following problems...


 


> Cluttered, unorganized, and very hard to navigate


> The file browser would update like every month *exaggeration*


> Replicas, duplicas, and '1,000,000 CR HACK's were the majority of files


> Porn (not sure if problem in weird people or 343i)


> Rip-offs, plagiarism's, and false advertising galore


> Modified content (see #4)


> Canvases, source files and untouched maps


> Lackluster categories like map and gametype


> Mini-games > great maps


> Don't even get me started on the Flood variants!


 


And because of these problems, effects occured from the problems...


 


> Everyone ripped off Darth Mind (Speed Halo = Writer's Mind by Darth Mind)


> Content creators stopped making maps and started making mini-games


> Countless remakes of countless remakes were made on top of the originals


> Only sponsored cartographers become popular now


> Plagiarism is okay


 


Well, that settles it: We need solutions in order to prevent


The Master Chief Collection from being diluted...


 


> Make the file browser automatically update


> Organize flles directly by a hybrid between recently added and popular


> Filter and delete the duplicas and mark the porn and mods


> Add 'live tile' screenshots to map variants


> Add a review system


> Allow us to flag incidents of plagiarism


> Create an update dial, so that updated maps don't split up into different 'userbases'


 


That's all I got for now,


what are your thoughts,


what's the problems with the file browser,


what are the results,


and what are better ways to improve the file browser?


For the community, by the community.

Yes

Yes

> Filter and delete the duplicas and mark the porn and mods

Yes, but must be checked by someone. Can't have people flagging for stuff that is not actually there.

> Add 'live tile' screenshots to map variants

Yes, very much so.

> Add a review system

That'd be great.

> Allow us to flag incidents of plagiarism

Now this is where I disagree to a degree. There can be different versions of a map different people prefer and would rather download than the original, which does not have aspects that the other user's version does. What I am saying is that something should be noticibly different that affects the gameplay of the map and then it is not so much plagiarism and more just unoriginal.

> Create an update dial, so that updated maps don't split up into different 'userbases'

Yes.

I do like all of your suggestions though. Especially the review one.
