Voting between three/four options is flawed because the community tends to only pick one map/gametype. Reach was terrible with this in BTB because it might as well have been renamed the Hemorrhage Playlist. The same situation applies in MCC, you're guaranteed the community will vote fucking Valhalla 9/10 times despite it being such a bland map. Having Veto means you can't just play the same map/gametype every time; not everyone wants to play CTF on Valhalla every single match. With Veto you might get Slayer on Relic, or Dominion on Longbow, or Assault on Last Resort.

How is the veto system any better? You never knew what you were getting once you vetoed a game type.

The only thing they need to change is allow you to change your vote and it will be fine.

Hemorrhage was arguably the only good map with all the other shit maps in that game and I'm sorry you didn't have any friends to play with to help you vote for your favorite map in BTB in Reach.

Go play Social Slayer right now in Halo 3, veto the first map that shows up, and tell me if you get a map that's not Last Resort/Narrows/Construct that comes up next. Social Slayer was the most populated playlist back in the day so I'm using that as an example.

Having Veto means you can't just play the same map/gametype every time; not everyone wants to play CTF on Valhalla every single match. With Veto you might get Slayer on Relic, or Dominion on Longbow, or Assault on Last Resort.

The Veto system was flawed. If Team BRs gets vetoed, then the next gametype would always be Team Slayer no matter what. If Team Duals gets vetoed, then the next gametype would always be Team Slayer. There was no variety with the Veto system. Again, using the Social Slayer example.

I've seen more variety in the gamemodes I'm playing right now in the MCC than I ever did with Halo 3, also stretching across all 4 games.

God having several voting options is shit in comparison to Veto. It's garbage in MCC and the only detriment to Halo Online.

They're getting rid of it in the MCC update.

Oh boy can't wait to be forced to play some meme shit like slayer on prisoner or literally anything halo 4.

They're getting rid of cross game playlists I'm pretty sure, because as part of the rework you can choose to only install certain games. If you don't want anything to do with Halo 4, you can uninstall the game entirely but keep CE, 2 or 3.

All of these issues with veto can be solved by simply making it choose a random map and gametype combo.

It was okay at best. There was nothing wrong with either Boneyard or Spire (Boneyard being the best BTB map before the Defiance map pack was released). Regardless of the community's feelings towards a remake of Blood Gulch, it was not the only map in the playlist.

I don't know about you but the Social Slayer playlist was varied quite well for me whenever I played. The only issue I had with Social Slayer was BTB maps like Standoff and Valhalla being in there.

You have to take into account both the map and gametype before you mash X. I'd gladly veto Team Slayer on the Pit if it meant I got BR starts on Isolation even though I hated that God forsaken map. And I've seen poor variety from MCC; I can't remember the last time I played a H2/H2A map, and almost half the BTB playlist is H4 maps. Funny though how Halo 3 still gets voted for the most in BTB, regardless of how much 343i pushes their H4.

Imagine thinking an update to a broken game 4 years late is going to revive the game to the point where having 5 team slayer playlists is feasible.

I just want them to take out KoTH from BTB and add more Neutral Bomb, Splockets, and Heavies maps

The smart thing to do would to be put MCC on Games with Gold tbh

I thought I was the only one that enjoyed spawning at the beach base and getting destroyed by the other team from the Splaser hill.

Halo 6 confirmed.

Dead on arrival

Spartan Charge and Ground Pound are being removed. Now just get sprint and Halo 5 will be perfect

How is it whenever I boot Halo 5 up the custom games have somehow gotten WORSE from the last time?

They really gotta take KoTH out of BTB. It's not a game type built for teams.

When is 343 going to announce battle royale in halo 6

I'm not even buying Halo 6. They done fucked up with 5. I'll play MCC again when they fix it.

Otherwise I'm sticking with Halo Online.

I won't either. I just expect more crappy battle royale shit at this point, Activision jumped on the trend already Microsoft will too probably. Imagine Warzone but free for all, gross.

Battle Royal, Microtransactions, the very things that are killing modern gaming.

Right, its just a game mode, and if its actually done right it can be fun. Blinx 2 had a great Battle Royal mode, however, Fortnite popularized it to the point where now every developer wants to do it, which is going to kill diversity in games. Capture The Flag was already in Halo, so that isn't an issue. What makes Halo unique is the community game modes that exist like Grifball, Swat, Infection, and VIP even. Adding Battle Royal is going to take away that uniqueness UNLESS 343 reinvents Battle Royal.

Hell, can we have fucking Chess in Halo back? That was actually fun in Reach.

how will the addition of new content take away that uniqueness
