Honestly, I love all the Halo games. Halo 3 was the first Halo game I ever played and I have been in Love ever since. I try to look at each game and judge it on its own merits and thusforth I have enjoyed the series. So far, I really have enjoyed Halo 4.
By no means am I a pro so I don’t speak for all the hardcore people out there. I dabble in everything and although there are things that I think could change, I still enjoy the game. Here are some changes I would like to see.
Overall Gameplay
-I miss waiting to respawn. You could take a breath, figure out a new plan, and if you were lucky, watch someone victory crouch over your lifeless body. The new forced respawn has gotten rid of Exterminatios for the most part which is a little sad. Plus, my guilty pleasure tea bagging has very much gone to the way side.
-The ragdoll physics in previous entries were a lot more amusing in previous entries.I know not a lot can be changed now but I still miss it nonetheless.
-Weapon Sprees had some sort of special place in my heart. I mean who didnt love getting a splatter spree or a sniper spree. It was a nice sense of accoplishment. Medals for eveything has kind of made them lose their significance.
-Classic gametypes. If we had a gametype with no sprint or no loadouts I think a lot of people would be happy. Sure, there would be some tough jumps but a lot of MLG gametypes are on custom gametypes anyhow. Even if Sprint was left in, just a gametype with no loadouts and the traditional weapon spawn system would be nice.
-The variety of the timed ordinance drops is a little stale. I don’t think I have ever seen a hammer or a concussion rifle spawn. It’s always fun to mix things up a bit.
-File share. 'Nuff said.
-Smaller maps. From the sounds of it, the new map pack will feature smaller maps which is refreshing. Sometimes maps like Complex feel very large in 4v4 and the games often time out as opposed to someone winning.
-Completely contradictory to what I just said, Zanzibar. My favourite Halo map, I think I’m the only one though.
-Maybe some throwback armour customizations, like Hayabusa.
CTF
-Flag reset shortened or returned to the original method. It takes forever sometimes.
-Button input for flag pick up. I have no problem with not being able to drop it but it should be optional to pick it up.
Oddball
-A button input for ball pickup. Kind of interesting to see that oddball and CTF swapped the pickup/drop feature.
Swat
- Include the carbine. Who knows, it could be fun.
A lot of the other qualms I had are already being worked on which is awesome! I’m gld to see some forge maps rolling out. Doubles has been announced and Grifball is on its way. Maybe there was some other stuff but I can’t think of it right now. Anyway, what do you guys think of the list. What changes would you like to see? I am very curious because the forums here seem to be very negative. Anywho, thanks for taking the time to read. Cheddah.
