Remember when this game was fun? Like, back when Bungie did it? WTF is their problem? I have to use two programs to get H4 screenshots onto my computer, since they apparently think it’s cool to not fix the file share. I haven’t seen this many cheaters since Halo 2. Mass confusion with the specialization email. Why didn’t they just release the game with them all on there? Just to be a pain in the balls? Buy the game plus the season pass? That’s 90 bucks. Only reason why I’m even still playing. You can blow 90 bucks, or waste it. I want my 90 dollars back, games on my android phone play better than this piece of garbage. First map pack? TRASH! Three BTB maps, two of them bigger clusterf%cks than Vortex? F you, 343. Basically got handed the biggest franchise in gaming history, just to f it up. People banned for no reason, bs. Gave away the maps for free, meanwhile season pass holders couldn’t download them with their pass for almost the first day. Hey, 343… You may have gotten Halo from Bungie, but big whup. It’s not even your game, and it never will be. See the people in these forums? See me, and the other 100k+ players online at any given moment? It’s OUR game, not yours, OURS! You were put in place where you are on OUR behalf, to make a good online game for US to enjoy, and keep it free from cheating modders/ standbyers. Just to ban/ voiceban legit players for no reason, make crap maps, and hand them out for free while SEASON PASS HOLDERS sit with their thumbs you-know-where. F you, 343, your apathy is shameful. You turned a great pastime into a giant $h1tshow. Now, I have two map packs coming to me that I DON’T EVEN WANT. I’ve been playing since '06, on Halo 2, you’re not getting another dime out of me. Sure, 343 is capable of running a game franchise. If you mean running a game franchise into the ground, that is. Thanks for nothing, guys, really. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
The OP is now aware that Bungie is responsible for Halo Reach. The OP is now aware that most of the people responsible for producing Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 are currently employees of 343 Industries.
How does it feel – I wonder – living in a world of childish delusions and self-entitlement?
I’m enjoying Halo 4 much more than I did Reach.
I’m having a lot of fun. There are always tweaks that could be made, but overall I am very pleased with my LE purchase.
It always baffles me how gamers like you have this sense of entitlement. You didn’t help make this game. 343 did. This game isn’t your game, never was your game and never will be your game. Also, if you want your money back do you really think making a thread like this is gonna make that happen? Grow up.
You forget that this is 343’s first game that they have made from scratch. The story is brilliant, the graphics exquisite and the gameplay even better. I will always hold Halo 2 as my favourite, but I would probably say Halo 4 is my second favourite it’s really blown me away.
As for the less intelligent, you bought the game knowing full well that it was not bungie. Why? To post flame? The game is as good as it ever was, and I feel that it will continue to be great. I reckon you’re some child who’s first game was Reach and prefers the comfort of something you barely had a hold on.
youll get some opposition here because your arguments lack a little tact. While I feel the game is very well made, I do empathize with your complaints about the maps. If you remember, however, Bungie loved to map pack -Yoink!- as well. The real reason it was not as transparent as it is with 343 is bungie also made sure to use a lot of user generated content (griff ball and map variants) to populate their playlists.
What is happening right now is 343 is giving us a grace period where people are still mastering the basic playlists. It is up to players like you, who bore with the vanilla playlists and maps quickly, to generate the new content. You are right it is OUR game not THEIR game. You have to use the tools they gave you though, like forge and custom games, to make this game as good as you want it.
343 will most likely start to feature new user generated maps and games soon, hopefully by JAN this next year, otherwise you are right it will bore people and they will move on to something else.
Another reason you may remember Bungie more favorably than 343 is the fact that their were not any other games on the market like Halo 2 and Halo 3. Call of Duty was out, but it was still the WW2 era shooter, and a newer franchise. Now with Call of Duty in its 6th or 7th reincarnation it is a competitor for Halo gamers. Most of us prefer Halo based on its game play and other factors. However the fact that their is something different out there people judge and compare the games against each other.
Either way, TLDR: Forge the HALO you want to play, and if you can make it popular 343 will use it.

Maps are definitely an issue to be addressed. They have a pair or REALLY good ones, and then some mediocre to bad ones for 4v4.

Here’s one more guy who knows what he’s talking about people don’t understand that some of 343i is old bungie employees the people ruining it is Microsoft and not giving game companies enough time to finish the games they make 343i even said before release they won’t have everything fixed so there will be issues on release and are working on them people’s -Yoinking!- won’t fix the game
I think people were expecting the perfect and most complete gaming experience with Halo 4. To bad it wasn’t by the looks of it from all the complaints, but just bashing a company will not help either. I would rather have read a constructive thread that makes me more aware of what players think needs fixing or would make the game more competitive and balanced for everyone.
