A typical game of halo 4

Two players quit in lobby
Game doesn’t balance teams (or anything for that matter)
Game starts 4v2
Teammate AR rushes into whole team of DMRs twice
In the Span of 10 seconds tells me to shove off when I ask him to play smarter
Quit game

Thanks halo 4

Game two:
Player quits as game starts
4v3
I shoot a player 4 times point blank with scatter shot he doesn’t die proceeds to kill me with carbine
Respawn directly next to enemy player with sword
Quit game

Thanks halo 4

“Hey, don’t goin in there. They have rockets.” FailMate goes in saying “don’t tell me how to play -------” and he eats a rocket then quits. I would say I’m thankful CSR is coming soon but then again, it won’t be visible so how would I know if I’m getting decent matches? Check my teammates waypoint one by one after the match? Lol, good one.

this game is a POS

I really want to like this game
Halo is basically all I play on a regular basis
There’s just too many unenjoyable aspects to this game
I constantly find myself trying to play and end up quitting after 2 or 3 games and normal I will have quit at least one or two of

The lag is atrocious
JIP is completely broken
Instant respawns are terrible
Ordinance drops turn the game into a power weapons clusteryoink

It’s just awful this is not a AAA title

I watched my son playing reach the other day.

Full of guys who didn’t know each other but 1 key difference - most of them seemed to have headsets on.

So he gets in a Falcon as a door gunner with some random piloting,

Pilot was doing okay - keeping it in the air but not really getting good angles for the his gunner.

My son says across his mike “Pilot rotate right I can’t get an angle”

As if buy magic the Falcon rotates Right. The door gunner lets loose and several reds die.

But the Falcon did eat a few rockets shortly after.

  • OMG TEAM WORK! I have no idea what went wrong with H4 but with all of Reach’s problems there is something still in this game that just isn’t there in H4.

That is odd. I think I can count on both hands how many games I had in reach with teammates who communicated, listened, or even had mics

  • red spawn on Adrift in Infinity Slayer
  • rush the sticky detonator, retrieve and fire in direction of blue team member charging through tunnel
  • sticky explodes, strips blue team member of shield
  • shoot blue team member in the head 4 times with DMR
  • die by blue team members BR
  • respawn, pick up a team kill during a shootout in a hallway
  • crouch to recover shield, engage in another shootout and pick up 3 assists despite wasting two clips of ammo shooting blue team members in the head
  • retreat to circle map in attempt to flank assailants in hallway
  • killed by boltshot camper
  • respawn, attempt to rush to team mates
  • miraculously killed by two blue team members who spawned nearby
  • respawn, engage in shootout with blue team member in hallway
  • blue team member keeps ducking behind boxes off to the side near the lift
  • throw a few nades next to the box, no kill
  • blue team member holds out, survives half a clip of DMR, two nades, and is eventually backed up by team mates forcing me to retreat
  • as I retreat another blue team member ambushes me in a hallway with a scattershot

What a waste of 2 minutes of my life.

.

almost always either teamed up with the team who can’t land more then 2 shots with an entire clip or have the situational awareness of a goldfish, and forget it if 2 of the other team is boltshot covering each other

> this game is a POS

this game is a point of service?

My personal favorite:

-Voting finishes, teams are selected
-Everyone on opposing team quits to dashboard before countdown ends
-Load map
-Instant victory
-Return to matchmaking

this is not a gameplay or teammate issue , this is poor aim.

your first choice is to grab a scattershot and rush the enemy team?
thats not 343s fault.

This is not CoD.
Do not rush into enemy if you don’t have “melee” weapon or some specific loadout.
There is the chance of medium/long range duels with DMR/BR/Carabine than use it :smiley:

I think you missed the part where I said I unloaded nearly a full clip of the scattershot into him at point blank range and he survived
I’m talking I was literally 2feet away from him
The boltshot is a 1sk within like 10feet but four rounds of the scattershot within 2feet doesn’t kill someone

And no it wasn’t lag and no my aim isn’t horrible
It’s simply the combination of bad core gameplay and game mechanics among other things

Then spawning literally beside an enemy with an energy sword was just the icing on the cake

u must be mistaking, “unloaded nearly a full clip of the scattershot into him at point blank range and he survived”, for “unloaded nearly a full clip of the scattershot AT him at point blank range and he survived”

u must of did alot of missing, u should us theater more often

And the playlists aren’t helping either . :frowning:

You know the meaning of point blank right?
He was standing 2feet in front of me, my reticule was red

Regardless say for sake of argument that I am absolutely terrible at this game and can’t aim for crap
That doesn’t change the facts that the game at its core is broken

Let’s play a fun game of regicide! NOPE, LET’S DISCONNECT EVERYONE FROM THE GAME INSTEAD. IT SHALL BE FUN I’M SURE

Like seriously: JiP, perks, no skill-based ranks, bad trueskill matchings, not getting scoped out of zoom when shot… and so many other problems that are not even being addressed by 343i. What a joke; I knew I shouldn’t have trusted Frankie the Liar.

  • JiP’d into game on CTF Ragnarok that just started, other team has a few kills
  • first thing I see, a Mantis to my right, Sniper Rifle STILL in our base, and a team mate idling
  • proceed to grab the Sniper and defend the base, sniping toward mid
  • enemy team rides over on mongoose, snipe them
  • enemy team returns on mongoose, snipe the first, railgunned to death by the 2nd
  • jump in Mantis, take up a post between mid/base and get lasered like 35 seconds later

Another waste of 3 minutes out of my life.

Sincerely,

guy with 300+ quits in about 500 games played

P.S. <mark>Love this BETA. So glad I paid $100 for it.</mark>
