Dear Bungie, I would like to start out by saying I have been a supporter of your company ever sense the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved for the Xbox and have played every game of the franchise to date. That being said I think what you have here is a good game that could be great. You launched this title on the wrong foot and have lost a good portion of your fan base. In essence, your marketing plan is flawed. You have allowed Activision, who don't have a very good track record of long, in-depth, detailed, and enjoyable PvE stories, to come in and destroy your amazing track record of colorful detailed in-depth stories where each main character becomes endeared to the player. Master chief, Cortana, Sgt. Jonson, the arbiter, Cpt. Keyes, Dr. Halsey to name a few. These are all characters we will remember because you gave every one of them detailed and colorful personalities. Our ghost... Doesn't even have a name (except for the pet name that "the stranger" gave him "little light") the only other character that i know by name is master Rahool. That is only because he toys with my emotions so much with every new engram I bring him. For the PvE crowd it is going to be a long journey but for those players reading this. Have heart and endure. I have faith that Bungie will pull through and deliver us a story worth our $. Let us just hope it is sooner rather then later before too many of us our lost. Speaking to you again Bungie, I would like to offer you a temporary solution that may save the game long enough to repair your PvE end of things. First, insert a spectate mode on PvP matches. This will allow other players not partaking in the match to join in as a spectator able to see the whole match as it plays out on delayed time (about 1-3 min should be enough), so that they cant tip off their friends of dangers or changes on the battle field. This is something league of legends does and should be simple to institute. Second, insert an option that allows clans to pit themselves against other clans, either by random queue or by direct challenge. This will make clans worth joining and not just an accent under our names. Third, create a leader board so each player (solo) and clan (group) can see where they stand in your PvP world. This will create worth for time spent. A sense of accomplishment for those who climb the ladder. Forth, allow the generation of API (Application programming interface) keys that grants access to all the raw data that details all the stats of each character and clan (API key obtained by clan leader/admins) perhaps for both PvP and PvE. This will allow clans to create their own unique websites and show off their standing, top players, and other stats via linking their API keys to the page. (API key generation would be managed through players profile options and clan profile options.) That's it; with those 4 changes your PvP environment is now ready for MLG. The last thing would be to sanction tournaments all over the globe. Take winners from each division and pit them against one another till you have one champ every year. You can earn your money by hosting live stream of the battles pay per view. Even players who quit playing may still pay to watch their favorite team destroy the opposition. Warning: if you do this Bungie. I strongly recommend that you make the rest of your PvE content free as it becomes available. Players if you have read this far, please comment your additional ideas and I will edit my post to fit them in with credit due.
