i honestly find it funny at first i despised halo 4 only playing it cause im part of a clan but then halo 3 comes out free so alot of people who havnt oned it or they re got it since it was free now are playing halo 3 their are alot more people playing halo 3 then 4 and alot more people playing reach then 4 i hope this comes as a good sign that 343 only cared about money you know bieng contracted by the biggest company of money grobbers their are and take halo 5 ditch the halo 4 style and use halo 5 as a means to bring back halo 2 and 3 stlye and make it better
I agree with the first person who replied. Also, you are wrong. Halo 4 is an amazing game. I prefer it to Halo 3 very much. Though, both are great games. It just feels different. Please don’t attack a company because they didn’t remake Halo 3 and stick a 4 on it.
Halo 4 is different. It’s not Halo in the sense that it deviates from what was once a well established formula of game play. Halo 3 reminds fans that there are options and that you should not be forced into playing the Cod/Halo 4 hybrid. I have had way more fun in Halo 3’s matchmaking than Halo 4’s, as in I actually get on my mic and talk to players and laugh for a change. Oh and we work as a team, normal Joe’s having fun and clicking buttons. when I get Teabagged in Halo 3, I laugh…not so in halo 4. I wonder why.
Where there is a lot of halo 4’s mm that annoys me its still gkod with the acception of remvoving multi team and finally getting the hint that where things succeed in the past dont change them such as:
Btb ctf being in the playlist not just slayer
Keeping original playlists that have been popular from the begining; btb multi team, swat, team slayer ect, ect.
Adding in some randy broad singing at the title screen over the original vocals. Something small but instantly recognizable and puts you in the halo atmosphere.
Even down to the different sound effects for splatters, iwhbyd funny talk during campaign.
Im am glad for a few things they’ve added like perma sprint an ar thats finally useful hit scan br
Not happy about the removal of firefight in place of spartan ops…could have had both.
Campaign was decent and I quite liked it.
All in all bungie made the game and added bits of magic and ideas over the years making halo “halo”
343 has rounded up a team with a handful of bungie members and produced a game that isnt terrible, still enjoyable and continuing on the halo saga for us.
I just really hope they go back snd study the small tid bit of magic that makes halo the game that hits home everytime you pop it in your tray.
Oh abd for gods sake make a 5v5 dlc playlist do we can avtually play the dlc we paid for
I don’t think a lot of people will play Halo 3 for long as they are still charging for most of the map packs and most playlists are DLC required aren’t they? (or have they removed that requirement now?)

Hey, OP. Please shut up. You’re giving all of the Halo 4 haters (like myself) that actually have legitimate reasons why we don’t like the game a bad name. That made no sense whatsoever.
And punctuation is your friend, -Yoink!-.
Honestly, it’s not surprising Halo 3 just got a new surge of population. It’s FREE, it was formerly the MOST PLAYED ONLINE GAME ON XBOX LIVE, and the Halo fanbase has nostalgia goggles so large they have no peripheral vision anymore. Everyone can literally play Halo 3 again; of COURSE they’re gonna -Yoinking!- play it again, especially if they got burned by 4. This isn’t indicative of Halo 4 sucking; correlation does not equal causation.
> I don’t think a lot of people will play Halo 3 for long as they are still charging for most of the map packs and most playlists are DLC required aren’t they? (or have they removed that requirement now?)
Heroic and cold storage are free.
Legendary 1.99
Mythic and mythic 2 4.99
Thats not charging much for halo 3 maps.
Its actually a big reason why I dont play h4 is because I never play any maps I paid for. Only when the dlc playlist was out and the put a requirement for majestic in slayer did I see dlc maps.
Overall if halo 3 had hitscan and the updated networking abilities that reach and h4 do it would be the dominiant halo game.
Some people like myself go back for nostalgic reasons but overall h3has ranks for competetive players and playlist ranks for competetive ans casual players.
As a casual player I loooove the playlist ranks. Gives me a sense of acomplishment where as the player growth system in h4 is good but once your at 130 there is nothing more.
Csr is good if it was visable on your screen and to others by choice.
But seriously OP, please proofread your posts. Just throwing letters onto the screen and hoping they stick makes it very hard to understand what you are trying to say and then make an appropriate response. You might have some quality input in your head, but if you don’t express it legibally no one is ever going to hear it.
From what I can see one part of your post is dedicated to calling 343 money grubbers while simultaneously praising Bungie. Is that accurate? And if so, are you kidding me? (Why does no one ever remember the Halo 3 DLC system?!)
Also, saying things like “343 fail/care only about money/need to scrap everything” without providing any sort of backing is not only unconstructive, but verges on the very edges of flamey.

What are you talking about OP? They did a fabulous job with some things.
Sure they made a game-type that dropped the population in the first couple months
Sure they made load outs but 1 weapon that dominates everything
Sure they made the spartan IV’s look stupid
Sure they made the armor look like space ninja power rangers
Sure the enemies are super easy to kill
Sure there’s no local search option
Sure they made chief talk way too much
Sure they made Halsey look bad
Sure they insulted allot of people with the spartan handicap picture
And sure they offered awesome DLC maps which you only got to play every-once in awhile just to be lagged out.
But the point is they still did a good job!! FOR THE MOTHER LAND!!
But really it wasn’t too bad of a game, they did make it look fancy besides that crumbling “explosion” of that covenant cruiser at the beginning of the campaign.
You people give yourself a bad name by being narrow-minded and hate-filled towards a game that wasn’t Halo 3.5. Don’t criticize people on “giving you a bad name” when you do that as well.
To me halo3 is the worst multiplayer followed close by halo 4. they are different but they both are -Yoink-.
Halo 2 was the best MATCHMAKING AND CUSTOM experience TO ME.
halo 2 had clans
social and ranks
A great voice system (NO XBOXLIVE PARTY CHAT)
Halo 3 removed clans ( I still dont know why)
MM and customs are ok.
social and ranks playlists
terrible communication system because it does not support communication in matchmaking.
they added armor abilities that ruined the game IMO
I wont even say anything about halo 4 because we all know how terrible it is.

Halo 4 is a good game, I’d even give you an “amazing” game if it was anything other than promoted as another halo game.
