And you thought halo 4's mp would suck.

2 weeks ago many (most) people were whining about how big of a lag o’dooty knock off halo 4 is… Now I’m seeing threads praising the MP and Spartan Ops. Not so big of a CoD knock off now is it?

Where have you been? They made the BR unlockable. It may as well be a COD clone.

Halo 4’s multiplayer will be average and mediocre at best. 343i seem more content with shoe-horning in useless features in an attempt to ‘innovate’ than in providing a good, solid and sturdy base to work from.

And that’s not to say I’m against some of the changes - merely that 343i are moving away from what made Halo ‘Halo’.

Actually detractors are still around criticizing the game though it seems the recent sparkast alleviated some fears (while still needing a podcast to adresss this podcast). Not that criticism is a bad thing mind you, it isn’t when it’s constructive.

As for me, i like some of the changes but others i am still iffy on like Forerunner vision, Jetpacks, Camo, and a ranking system that’s based on skill (not just how long i can grind Spartan OPs). Not to mention the return of a trueskill system that organizes and matches players based on skill (Reach didn’t have one, you can’t convince me otherwise).

OP, you’re funny.

Only time will tell HOW it all plays out.

THE clip of the BR looks great to me

I just hope it PLAY’S like HALO !!!

> I just hope it PLAY’S like HALO !!!

By the sound and look of things it won’t

As long as i got my BR and a 1-50 i’m happy

now this has nothing to do with cod but all games, especially big titles will infact have laggy servers day one and will be like this for about a week so word to the wise. dont play MM day 1. instead be smart and play the campaign so when you get in you know the story and while people tried to get up the ranks quick in halo 4 and got lagged out the 1st week you will stroll on in with the same game experience since campaign and multiplayer have same gameplay you will catch up quick and they were dumb because people will think anyone will care who gets to max rank first lol does anyone even remember who got to inheritor first? ya i thought so lol

Yeah. It doesn’t even look like a Halo game.

YOU GOT THE WRONG CLIP! THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTS!

Release this game for about the next 10 years over and over again and everyone will be happy…right? I mean no way Halo can become irrelevant if we re release a great, if dated game with absolutely no changes. No one will ever get bored and let’s make it annual release too.

Not to take away from the greatness of CE and it’s huge…juicy…skill gap. Man that game was insane (drools over linked video again). Though that was then and this is now, the playing field has changed. For better or worse, that’s the reality Halo is in right now.

In seriousness and regarding Halo 4: Dat BR.

Oh and enjoy the video of CE too.

Before anyone starts, i hated BR spread from 3, love 3 shot god tier pistol from CE, hated Armor Lock, Jetpacks, vanilla Reach in general etc.

> Where have you been? They made the BR unlockable. It may as well be a COD clone.

Definitely. Because it’s impossible to stand behind the firefight and pick off kills with your DMR start.
Why don’t you use the DMR for a start, and THEN unlock the BR. They’re trying to make the game more of a variety.

And yet if they didnt change it would be like CoD, same game all the time.

Don’t get me wrong, OP. While I’m not as worried now, there are still things that need to be addressed: ranking system, vehicles, etc.

But I’ll wait.

Uhhhh… I can still be awful, Just not as awful as predicted.

I think more people are just opening them selves up to possibilities.

what? When I browser to the last 3 pages all topics are about “COD is Halo, it sucks”, “the new Spartans look ugly” etc.

Complains over complains. Spartan Ops is ok, but who cares? I actually want Firefight. 343i cant tell me that this is a game mode “I” always wanted. How can they even say something like that??? They can speak for us now? Read our minds? Did I missed something?

No 343i, you’re wrong. I want a classic horde/survival mode, not Spartan Ops where you have to pay for DLC to actually enjoy the whole storyline of this mode. How cheap is that, please?

They scrapped one of the most favourite gametypes in Halos multiplayer…for no reason. Oh, I forgot, the reason is the DLC crap coming with Spartan Ops. And no, I dont care if the first weeks/months are free. Fact is: if you want ALL the content, you have to pay for it. And why would you not have all the content? So, they basically force you to pay for it. I understand it with multiplayer maps. But Spartan Ops are missions, and I highly doubt that they will be sooooooo hard that people need to work together. Soon after release people will rush and lone wolfin’ them, even in a team of 4.
