Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer won't have map voting or veto system

4.6
It looks like Microsoft and 343 Industries are taking the Halo series and shaking it up to bring players a new experience. Halo 5: Guardians won't be featuring splitscreen or LAN support in the game's multiplayer or campaign, there are some that agree with this and some that don't.

It turns out that Halo 5 won't have another feature from the games of old -- there won't be any map voting and veto system. Replying to fan questions on Twitter, Josh Holmes the Studio Head at 343 Industries revealed that the maps would be using a simple rotation process.

Holmes did not specify whether the maps would be randomly selected or maintain the same set rotation over and over again. If it's the latter, it's no better than the voting and veto system - in that system we had the chance of experiencing the same map, over and over and over again, but at least we felt like we were in control. With a set rotation we get to experience the same rotation of maps, a random selection would be so much better.

Bio The no split screen. Why? Made gaming on Halo 3 the perfect game to play with friends. Think 343 is out of touch with that.


What's worse is that they announced after 130K+ preordered it, assuming split-screen was apart of the package...

The releases this year are a disgrace, hopefully Fallout4 /SW Battlefront won't dissapoint.

I'm thinking the same thing, everyone one votes the same map lol, so it would be cool to play differen't maps all the time.
