A message to 343....

Hi, my name is reece and I have been playing halo since day one of halo 1 when it came out on november 15th 2001. Ever since then I have bought every single halo after it and played online till the next one came out. I loved halo 3 which is by far the best halo game. I am a huge halo fan, I don’t play any other game other then halo and thats why I am writing the message.

Halo 4 is one awful game. it makes me very disappointed to know that this is where the halo franchise went. 343 you have done a horrible job with halo 4, you should have spent more time and effort into making the game better.

The ranking system in halo 4 is horrible, what where you thinking? half the reason I play halo is to obtain a good rank. where is the 1 - 50 system? this is one of the worst parts of the game.

Another thing that I really hate about halo 4 is some of the playlists. my favourite playlist in every halo is swat. not anymore, you have ruined my favourite playlist. is buggy and -Yoink-. at first I thought it might be my connection but since I have the best internet that I could possible buy I new that it wasn’t my connection.

There are plenty more things I could rant about but 343 you really need to sort it out because your losing all your players. you need to listen to what the players want and not what you want all the time. if you listen to the halo community and actually take action you might have a really good game.

343 you really need to sort it out because your about to lose another big halo fan and your losing more.

Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

I haven’t heard of too many complaints with SWAT - I don’t seem to have a problem with it either.

Edit: No campaign, no Spartan Ops - Speaks volumes about this ‘fan’.

Basically another rank complaint thread.

Why do people need a meaningless number next their name. It does not make the game better. Does not make you have better armor or weapons.

Just an imaginary thing that honestly does nothing but help a person who has low self esteem.

It’s not imaginary. It’s actually there in pixels on your television screen.
Also, it has nothing to do with having a low self esteem. It’s about the challenge of getting that number. It adds even more reason to play the game.

Please, visit a proctologist.

Yeah, yeah, yeah we’ve all seen “The Big Lebowski”. Enough with that quote already. If the OP isn’t happy with the game, he can speak his mind. No need for cheesy movie quotes :slight_smile:

as a player who has played every halo game possible, I do not share the op’s opinion.

> as a player who has played every halo game possible, I do not share the op’s opinion.

Turns out the Service Record for OP doesn’t go back any further than Halo Reach.

Because a lot of people like to play to try and achieve a high rank. It has nothing to do with self esteem It has to do with people finding it fun. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean anything.

Could you perhaps provide details? Forums are for discussion, but if all you have to say is that “X is horrible and Y is horrible” without giving any details, then there isn’t much to discuss :\

> 343 you have done a horrible job with halo 4, you should have spent more time and effort into making the game better.

Horrible in what way? Balance?

What bugs do you experience in SWAT that’s ruining your experience?

As a side note: you can still experience lag even if your connection is good. If you’re being matched with players on other continents, or if the game mistakenly gives “host” status to a player with a poor connection, then you’ll be dealing with latency or lag no matter how good your connection is.

It’s also worth mentioning that there were recently some server issues that affected the game (I’m not entirely up-to-date on the details there, yet), which may have affected any matches you’ve played in the last few days. :\

Your rant could’ve have been much better. You could’ve explained a little more in detail. All you touched on was laggy Swat and no ranking system. If you are going to be very critical if them, then at least go in depth.

Also, this game never had rank system. Are you talking about progression sucking. 1-50 will be added in the future, but sadly won’t be visible.

I didn’t to rant a rave at every single problem with halo 4 because there are to many to name. i just picked to ones at random. My rank is not good because I have been playing for 2 weeks. and wont be playing for much longer and will soon be going to halo reach. halo 4 is horrible no matter what everyone says.
