Halo 5: Guardians Discussion

[TurbTastic]

I've been creating custom forge maps and playing in custom game lobbies for years, and I want to bring more attention to the Major Problems that are negatively impacting the Custom Games scene. In no particular order, here they are:

 

1. Fireteam size allows for more than 16 players, but you can't start with more than 16. Even if you have it on Invite Only, people can still invite their friends and make this very difficult for the host, requiring him to Kick players from the game. This has never been a problem in previous Halo games.

 

2. We need a Maximum Party size option, like we always had. I should be able to set my lobby to a limit of 10 players if I want.

 

3. Add Privacy Options for Open, and Closed. Open would allow Followers and Recent Players to join without an invite. Closed would prevent new players altogether.

 

4. Make it so that Fireteam Chat works in the menu. Try getting players on certain teams in a 16 player lobby sometime.

 

5. After playing a FFA game the players (other than the host) can't see or switch teams. The host has to turn Teams On/Off as a workaround.

 

6. Bookmarked Custom Game modes won't load unless the exact base game mode is loaded first. I get messages almost everyday from followers experiencing this issue. 343 is fully aware (I know from watching Livestreams), and they haven't done anything about it.

 

7. Party Leader cannot Boot players mid-game. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.

 

8. The ability to Change Teams mid-game was added without the option to disable that feature. Ideally, the Party Leader could Enable/Disable this feature mid-game. Starting a match you usually wouldn't want that to be on, but if teams become uneven mid-game then you would want it on.

 

9. Party Leader should be able to change the Privacy (Friends/Invite Only) mid-game. I'm pretty sure we used to be able to do this.

 

10. Party Leader should be able to promote someone else as the leader mid-game.

 

11. When using game chat, you should be able to see who's talking, without pulling up the scoreboard.

 

Had to get that out of my system. Please Like/Comment in hopes that 343 sees this and does something about it. If a certain issue is driving you crazy, then please mention which number it is. If I missed something (major), then please comment about it.

Has Party Chat been randomly crashing for anyone else happened to me 3 times yesterday so fucking annoying.

Yeah, cause you're turning into a fucking demon.

So what? They're still unnecessarily long.

[Hot Juicy Pie]

Yea well doesn't mean I have to like it.

Prison sex rules: No one said you had to like it.

[Lukes]

Looks like a map I would see in Titanfall.

 

It kind of reminded me of Boneyard with the color palette and the ship that was on the campaign level.

I see it as the Doom equivalent of getting into a vehicle. It's the exception, not the rule. And it wasn't what I was referencing to begin with.

 

If you look at the part of the trailer I quoted, you'll see a player picking up Quad Damage with no interfering animation. Other gameplay footage shows players picking up Health and Armor with no animations. That's more like classic Halo than Halo 5's cumbersome pick-up animation which was inserted into the game for the sake of change.

 

Doom may not end up being an exceptional game at the end of the day, but from what I've seen, it at least appears to encourage movement, aggression, and flow. Which is something I want to see more of in games, and what Halo really needs to get back to imo.

Doom 4 MP resembles Halo more than any other IP out there. The movement, pacing, jumping, all resemble Halo to the T. Yes, there are loadouts and the weapons are different of course, but if you're a Halo fan, you'll likely be a Doom 4 fan. The biggest detriments are loadouts and the "monster" pick up. The rest is solid for a Halo game. Now if you're expecting a Doom game from Doom 4, I would dodge it like the plague to save yourself the stress.

 

I wouldn't count on the game's longevity though. If id has proven anything in their history, it's that they can't support a game if their company's reputation depended on it (which it has). We'll see I guess. SnapMap does look promising though.

When you realize you can't just go back to the early to mid 2000's when CPMA was huge.

You know what feels bad man? Running out of XBL :'(. Ah well at least I have Dragon Age Inquisition to play.

I played the Alpha and I agree.

Anyone else search the gamertags in Kampys new montage? 99% bronze players. Extremely dissapointing and that's on top of a sniper that doesn't even need to be on someone to connect.

 

Has anyone made any pistol montages?

 

Edit: mostly gold, not bronze.

[TheIcePrincess]

Really? That's really really sad that someone can't make a montage at their own skill-level, if that's the case. Disappointing is an understatement.

Welcome to montaging? We used to differentiate videos like his as "nubtages" or social, but there's no standards anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most of the big montagers use smurf accounts. You aren't going to get killionaires playing people of your own skill level. Go back and watch any of Kampy's H3 stuff and it's pretty obvious he's playing against noobs.

 

I vastly prefer seeing clips from high level play, but I don't have any issue with "noob-farming" montages, as they are still entertaining to watch and take quite a bit of skill and dedication to make.

It does look good. Ive never really played a proper arena shooter before, so I'm hoping it lives up to my expectations. Will it have a BTB type of playlist?

I would love to see Whiskey get pub stomped.

Ya the demon runes are so stupid. They're so powerful. Only part of the alpha I didn't like. Half the time it seems like you're getting killed by a giant monster. May as well be playing evolved lol.

Idk if its in stream or not (that match specifically) but I know GBs teammates and they'll probably tell us a bit beforehand if they're on stream or not. So I'll just post it here lol.

If you've never played a proper arena shooter before, you still won't after Doom 4. Play some Quake Live, Unreal Tournament, or Reflex if you want that experience. And I don't think there are any plans for a BTB playlists.

They're not necessary either. The game would only improve without them. It's just a dumb gimmick. I really hope there's a playlists that doesn't include them...

[Cooper]

Who's playing for whiskey? Aren't guys like Vetoed in there? Seems like they have some decent guys to draw from.

Please tell me they destroyed Whiskey.

That's still disappointing, in my mind, because those sort of things aren't exactly "genuine", against players like that. May just be me, but I'd much rather see the insane high level triple kill outplay, than a killionaire against a majority of people with no metaphorical thumbs. One feels earned, the other's just... "Eh".

@ G4G has mad delays right now. No one has played yet, no LAN support killing it right now :\
