Im wondering, is anyone else unhappy with the beta right now? I was looking forward to a more classic style of gameplay, but so far the only thing I like is damage bleed. I know 343 is doing their best to recreate a more classic Halo feel with all these changes, but honestly, I think the only way to do that would be to create a new Halo game with the old gameplay code in it. The maps, weapons, and weapon spawns in Reach dont work with classic gameplay. They were designed to be used in Reach with all the armor abilities and bloom etc, and it seems like changing them is just breaking the game. Anyone else feel the same way?
nope
Nope.
By the way the Default settings with default maps are broken, Spawning with the magnum and slow movement speed breaks the game just with these two things. People don’t realise this isn’t trying to be Halo 1 or Halo: Reach with no bloom, It’s new gameplay in itself where previously unused weapons have become power weapons and such.
Basically it’s a new Game that just needs work, because the default settings just don’t work.
I like it better, but there is still a lot of changes that needs to take place. Like faster movement speed, and higher jumpheight(The TU is almost unplayable without this), balance the weapons, remove the damage you get when falling from big heights and so on …
Default settings on default maps are broken.
The TU is basically the “classic” Halo experience from 1 to 3. Someone calling the “classic” halo experience but hating the beta must’ve only played up to Halo ODST or Halo Reach was their first Halo game.

No, Ive played every Halo game in order. Granted, I joined the franchise a little later than some (2005), but I have played all the others. I know the title update is supposed to feel more like the classics, but it just doesnt for me. It still feels like Reach only the weapon balancing is completely off now.
I enjoy the beta deeeply!
I feel the resources employed on Reach/CEA competitive multiplayer would have been better utilised in making sure that Halo 4 isn’t a shiny turd like Reach.
