Common Solutions From the Common Idiot

[l KING GILES l]

Despite all of the problems this game has been having I still really like to play Halo. My biggest issue with the matchmaking is the very limited list of what can be played. Halo CE, Halo 2 Classic, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4 as a playlist to pick and play. But it usually ends up that you play basic team slayer under these categories. On top of that there is a team slayer basic in the categories as well. So 343 has 6 categories for playing team slayer not including Big Team Battle. Then you see these other games like Snipers, SWAT, Oddball (Which comes and goes). My wife likes SWAT and I really like it too. But then to take it off and put Snipers in place of SWAT. I love snipers and so do all of my friends. I do not understand why we can have one but not the other. Instead of seeing 6 variants of team slayer I would like to see actual options. I would like to see the list say something like. Team Snipers, Team SWAT, Big Team Battle, Team Objective, Multi-Team, Double Team, Rumble Pit, Living Dead, Etc. It's just frustrating because right now there are not many variants and I am getting tired of just basic team slayer. And Objective games that I would rather not play like Oddball. I like Oddball but I only like it when I have my teammates in the same party so that I know my teammates are not going to quit on me. In objective games if one team loses a couple teammates they are already at a disadvantage.

Then the other day when I was playing with my friends we came to a voting screen where we could only vote one on maps from Halo 2 classic. We were playing Team Snipers. This doesn't happen often. Other times you get one from Halo one, One from Halo 2 and one from 4. But it's all the maps you don't want to play from those games. I think instead of having such a small amount to choose from that there should be 2 voting rounds. One voting round could be which game (Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4) after a one of the games has won you should get to vote on a map from that game. Kind of like when we got to vote from 3 Halo 2 maps. We like Halo two so it was nice to have more than one map option for the game.

And finally. Stop making us start a new search every time we end a game. Leaving all players in on a countdown unless they leave and then fill the slots. Nothing is more irritating than waiting for games longer than you play the game. Not to mention that making every person search each time has got to be a lot harder for the servers to control. I don't know if anybody agrees with me or not on these few topics but I just want to see the MCC fixed completely. Also put ranking on more than the anniversary. I don't play that variant often at all so I'm a level 2. If I were ranked in other things as well I would be higher than a 2. Please add any additional comments you may have. Thanks for reading.
