    We proudly present the first Halo community infographic.

    [​IMG]


    The response to this survey was really overwhelming. In total there have been 3210 surveys completed! It is very clear that the community wants more interaction with 343 Industries. At Gamersuggestions we want to facilitate this interaction. You can post suggestions and the community will rank them using a like/dislike system, this way developers can see in the blink of an eye which changes gamers want. We think Halo 4 is a great game, but it has so much more potential. Halo has a very loyal and vocal community that wants to help Halo 4 reach this potential.

    For this purpose we have redesigned our site and it has gone live today. As a pilot we have added several categories (such as weapon balance, forge, gametypes etc.) to create an even better overview of which changes the Halo community wants.

    The Halo community is active on several different sites. We want to combine the power of the community and gather and organize all suggestions and feedback at Gamersuggestions. If the community speaks with one voice, 343 Industries will have to listen. We will do whatever is in our power to get 343’s attention, but we need your help! Share this infographic, retweet this to @bsangel, post & vote on suggestions, share our site and do whatever you can to get 343 to listen!

    Pretty good, I'm not sure what the "nostalgia factor" bit was about or what it was portraying but otherwise good stuff.

    Well it was meant as a joke, but it shows that the Halo gamers that started playing at H1/h2/h3 rated Halo 4 a lot lower than someone whose first Halo games was Halo 4.

    Seems to be showing how you rate Halo 4 based on which Halo game was the first one you played in the series. With a clear trend toward rating the new game higher for people who have played fewer previous titles, and the highest rating coming from people for whom this is their first time at the rodeo. Not sure what the takeaway is though, except that people tend to want something they're familiar with and are more accepting of a new game when they're less burdened with expectations.

    Very nice. I agree with most of the suggestions, but it just sucks because it's asking for a LOT and there's no way it will ever happen. :/

    I dunno about you guys, but if they fixed forge and custom game options, I would jump back in almost immediately

    the thing is, the thing that made halo flourish, made it special, was it's flexibility and simple combat, which placed a lot of emphases on strategic positioning, and prioritizing weapons

    In halo 4, the flexibility is gone, the new game components over-complicate things, and now that we have personal loadouts and ordinance, the need to prioritize what weapons you have, and conserve ammo is gone.

    In addition, now that we can call our own weapons, there is no need to explorer the map, and perhaps enter risky situations

    "why should I have to run into that exposed platform to get the rocket launcher, when I can just camp with my light rifle, and call one down right here?"

    am I wrong?

    The 3210 people who completed the survey where Very generous imo(specially with campaign). With most every thing over 50% meaning its a better then average game which is conflicting info since even within the info graph almost entirely comprised of complaints and things they need to improve and asking 343i to do things better, Plus the fact that this info graph exists and it's goal is trying to get spread about to get 343i to listen and improve the game.

    Both indicate the game is actually is doing poorly even within the people who did the survey.

    I also have curiosity on the validity of the surveys and results of the info graph.
    For a lot of reasons, Big 2 are 7.0 overall game score but the average of all the games components scores=65.75. And went to website and the suggestion "Nerf DMR" only had only 2 votes(one negative) suggestion was by someone with the title "Game philosopher" who had a colored name(someone high up in the community) and "Nerf DMR" was the biggest word on the grunt word cloud which makes me think might be some corruption or Bias, Then In the OP says they have redesigned there site so they may have deleted all the previous suggestions since all the suggestions on the graph have over 3000 votes and couldn't find one with over 3000 votes on the game page, Which is horrible to delete over 3000 reviews/suggestions/votes but if deleting over 3000 is justifiable and 3000 votes don't really matter that much then this entire info graph is irrelevant because it only came from 3000~ surveys(which the small size and where the pool came from it questionable to begin with)
    But I agree with most of the points in the infograph and the end results to make Halo 4/5/6/7/8/9 be better and 343i to do a lot better and imo the ends justify the means.

    The scores on Communication with fans and Mulitplayer improvement are pretty harsh imo. I think they have done insanely well at keeping us informed. Better than any other developer that I know of. And mulitplayer is a hell of a lot better than what it was on release.

    Awesome infographic, however I don't think 343 really care about all the stuff they screwed up. They've understood since we first few weeks that people don't like the game compared to other Halos. You don't need to see the future to understand why removing the gametypes would be an issue...
