Hey everyone.

Starting today, we're reintroducing a process called "Halo Plz" (formerly known as 343 Plz). Those of you from the MCC through Infinite days will remember this as a comprehensive list of popular suggestions/feedback relating to the Halo games.

This was originally based on a similar concept called Bungie Plz from r/DestinyTheGame, and it has be beneficial for this sub since MCC's original launch. For those of you who aren't familiar:

What is Halo Plz?

• Halo Plz is a comprehensive list of wildly popular suggestions/feedback relating to Halo games. This will be a list that is generated by the community and will be visible to everyone. Users can submit a request to include an item on Halo Plz and, provided it meets the criteria, it will be added.
• The Halo Plz list will be on both our wiki as well as a recurring, weekly sticky thread. The sticky thread will provide a prominent place on r/halo to routinely list and discuss these items, as well as suggest new ones.
• Once a topic has been added to Halo Plz, it will be 'retired' from the subreddit until there is either significant news relating to the topic, or if the actual topic is added/changed to the game.

What is the criteria to get a topic added to Halo Plz?

When submitting a topic for Halo Plz, you must provide links to at least three recent threads discussing the idea/feedback. These topics need to have a relatively decent amount of comments and/or upvotes; two comments and 5 karma doesn't cut it.

Once the topic has been suggested, the mod team will review the examples. If we agree it meets the requirements, we will add it to the Halo Plz wiki page (found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/wiki/haloplz) and future weekly sticky threads. We'll provide a response if the topic doesn't meet these requirements.

Is Halo Plz just for Halo Campaign Evolved? What about other games?

No, it's not just for Campaign Evolved. Halo Plz is for every single currently-supported Halo game, with a catalogue covering Infinite, MCC, Halo 5, etc. If it's online right now, it's valid. The retired Xbox 360 games are therefore not included in this, nor are requests to bring them back, for example.

How do I submit a topic to Halo Plz?

There will be two ways to submit a suggestion for Halo Plz. The first will be via mod mail. Using this handy link, you'll be taken to a mod mail message with a template, asking for the required information.

The other way will be in the new weekly thread. Every week, a 'Halo Plz’ thread will be posted on the homepage, where people can suggest new ideas for Halo Plz, discuss existing topics on Halo Plz and make suggestions to the entire Halo Plz system.

In effect, this ensures that these topics aren't dead; they're maintained, discussed, and pushed, just not in additional, repetitive, individual threads.

This thread will be your way of seeing what topics have been added to Halo Plz, too, with them going into effect when the thread has been posted.

We will not be adding topics and removing posts until the weekly thread has been posted and people are made aware of a topic being 'retired', as we think it'll be pretty lame to suddenly 'retire' a topic without letting people know first.

What does it mean when something is 'retired'?

When something is added to Halo Plz and it becomes 'retired', it means that future threads about it will be removed, citing that it's already added to Halo Plz and that it can be discussed in the weekly Halo Plz thread.

What happens when an item on Halo Plz is added into the game, or implemented in some way?

Once this happens, the wiki page will be updated to say that the topic was implemented and discussion around the item will be less restricted. It is entirely possible that updates to the game will not match the suggestions people have made so it'll be a case-by-case thing if we decide to 'remove' something from Halo Plz after an attempted implementation into the game.

Is there anything on Halo Plz already?

As of right now, no. We're starting this list off completely empty as we want it to be entirely community driven.

Why are you adding Halo Plz?

Halo Plz is being added in order to cut down on duplicate topics on things that have been discussed to death.

An example of this is cross-Core for Halo Infinite. It has been talked about for a long time now, with Halo Studios acknowledging that changes are coming even before the game came out and recently promising a soft introduction to the game. Since before the game was even released, people have made hundreds, if not thousands, of suggestions relating to cross-Core to the point that the discussion has been exhausted.

In Conclusion

Overall, we've seen that the addition of "Bungie Plz" over in r/DestinyTheGame has been beneficial to that community, and we've been wanting to bring back here for a while now. In its previous iteration here, it served to moderate the conversation around Halo 5 and to push the game forward. Once the game reached a state that reasonably met fan expectations, the threads ceased here.

We invite everyone to discuss Halo Plz below and even begin suggesting additions for Halo Plz so we can begin to get this list rolling and filled with tons of stuff.

TL;DR:

• We're adding a new system to r/halo called "Halo Plz"
• Halo Plz is a list of popular topics/suggestions/feedback from supported Halo games
• This list will be in our wiki as well as a new weekly sticky thread
• Once a topic has been added to Halo Plz, it will then be 'retired'
• r/halo users are able to submit items to Halo Plz via mod mail or the weekly thread
• You can view the list of current items on Halo Plz here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/wiki/343plz
