Let’s start a new thing here. Everyone that replies to this post should list two positives about the game and 1 negative. I’ll start us off:
2 Positives
Animations are amazing, watching your spartan run around and seeing every individual part of his body flow as he runs is just amazing. Even when you turn around in a circle your spartan actually moves his feet instead of just gliding around in that spot, it just flows so nicely.
Weapons actually feel like weapons, firing a DMR, BR, AR, and now even the covenant weapons feel so satisfying. Just great.
1 Negative
What ticked me off since day 1 is starting uneven matches. I hate starting the game where th other team has 3 players and i’m the only one on my team, the game could easily balance that out to make it 2v2. Even with JIP this shouldn’t be happening heck, even CoD balances out the teams when it sees they are uneven. Don’t get why it wasn’t this way from the start.
I’m moving this to the Matchmaking forums. The matchmaking forums will be housing discussions for Halo 4 matchmaking. This includes matters related to Matchmaking-Multiplayer mechanics and settings.
For more information why this thread is being moved, please read this for a further explanation. and as always, please feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Moved back at the moment by OP’s request.
The thing is, this thread is really about the whole game, not just matchmaking…
instead of monitoring how about putting resources to fixing all the mess that is 343i
I haven’t played online yet.
Positives:
-
Graphics are amazing
-
Campaign was enjoyable
Negatives:
- No FireFight
Pretty sure there’s already a thread specifically created for positive posts.
Oh, well.
I like the fact that I no longer have to worry about spending so much time on the weekends playing custom games with friends.
I love that I finally have a chance to truthfully say “I QTEd space Voldemort into a giant toilet”
I don’t like the fact that Spartan Ops is free for Gold users.
I think it should be an extra subscription-based DLC, and that anyone who stops paying should be cut off from ALL Halo 4 online services. This isn’t a charity, you know!
I like the ability to choose from a plethora of precision weapons in my Loadout, I guess.
Wow, this is hard. Uhhh… I like the Commendation system in this game a lot.
I absolutely despise the playlist management. If they just went back to having perma-playlists, this game would be WAYYYYYYY better.

You really that dumb? The monitors aren’t developers. That’s like getting pissed off with a roadie because you don’t like the band’s music.
Positives:
— The campaign was amazing.
— Dat graphics
Negative:
— Unbalanced sandbox (DMR, BoltShot, AC,…).
Fantastic Campaign:
I Like how they went into the campaign with this one, how they introduced new terrain and a new enemy as well as the relationship between Master Chief and Cortana.
New Multiplayer Features/Mechanics:
I enjoy what 343 has added to the Multiplayer I feel that most of it gives the game more variety, and now it is less dull as it was in the previous Halo’s it is progressing and getting more enjoyable for the entire community not one particular crowd.
(Loadouts, Ordinance, AA’s, Progression system, More weapons, Player Customization, armor skins/weapon skins.)
The Community:
I feel that the community at the moment is unappreciative and are making the littlest things out to be more important that actual problems, I just feel we are placing so much blame on 343. Also some of our community act as if they are more Important than others and they act as if their views should be taken more serious than others which isn’t fair to the rest of us. I think we need to shape up a bit and stop hating on 343 and blaming them for the game having some bugs, I mean like what game has ever come out perfect? We as a community are also pretty impatient from what I’ve seen on the forums alone.
+ I’m not getting my ghost busted by Armor Lock. I like the new armor abilities for that reason alone.
+ Weapon selection is expanding, even if it’s supposedly “unbalanced.”
- There is still a lack of playlists. I’m guessing this will be fixed in the TU soon, though.
Positives:
-
The Mantis. It’s fun to walk around the battlefield while towering over everyone like a complete badass. Getting stomp kills is very fun, too.
-
The new weapons. Especially the Incineration Cannon, Binary Rifle and the SAW.
Negative:
File browser is still not working so you can’t search for maps unless you know the Gamertag. I’m sure there are some good custom maps sitting out there on people’s file shares waiting for me to discover them, but I can’t even search for them. This is something they should have had ready at launch. This is by far the biggest disappointment I have with the game. At least this will be fixed…eventually.
+1 the game is pretty solid overal
+1 the graphics and dialog or amazing
-1 the damn ordnance system needs to be re-tweaked!
I dont know how many times if got -Yoink- ordnance for doing good but when i do bad i get the god tier weapons. it rewards good players with bad weapons or weapons that dont fit the map or situations very well.
Positives:
Gameplay
Maps
Negative:
Broken File Browser
Afterthought: I actually didn’t enjoy the campaign as much as I did the one in Reach. Maybe my problem is because I’m playing the German version, but that one has really terrible sound mixing in some situations, e.g. Cortana trying too speak but explosions completely suppress her voice. The same with the frequent radio messages in the game: at least in my version they often have just too much interference mixed in so I can hardly understand what’s being said. This made for me not understanding what was just about to happen during cut scenes, so I got quite confused with the storyline. Also I felt like sometimes the whole situation changed without too much of an explanation. So for me, this just cut off a good deal of atmosphere, sadly.
Sorry for exceeding your rules, OP…
