I played Halo 4 when I got it for Christmas. I looked at the cover and knew it didn’t feel or look like Halo then when I put the game in, it was meh…I wasn’t hooked on for hours like the past Halo games. I got bored of the campaign by the 2nd or 3rd level (excluding prologue) and I have yet to complete it (I don’t think I ever will or maybe I will but not anytime soon!). Then the multiplayer was just a COD fest. 343i have made Halo 4 and the Halo series YET ANOTHER Generic COD clone garbage saying "it’s new/different* when all they did is ripped and copied features from another game. What’s wrong with 343i. Why copy COD and make a “codified reach” instead of something like the original halo 1-2-3 graphics/art style, arena shooter, no cod features, unique and fun with good maps. Add stuff like a tornado gun or bubble shield bomb! Don’t copy COD be creative! Use your brain 343i! You have brains! Did you see what happened when you released the majestic Map pack? Everyone liked it. Listen to the community and don’t copy other big time games to get more money and don’t ignore your fanbase. I have a feeling halo 5 will be good whereas I knew halo 4 would be bad (I started on these forums when I saw the first Halo 4 trailer on the day it was released E3 2011) (This is my new account). I know you can make halo 5 a good game so do haters that’s why we plea so much!
I fear I will get banned by the Mods because I said “use your brain 343i!”…hopefully they don’t. I never meant it in a offensive way so ye…don’t ban me Mods! 
…And yes I reached a decent amount online. I reached max rank because I was really trying to win that competition. Didn’t know it was the highest rank till after the competition.
You haven’t even finished the game…

I have though. Beat the Campaign on Legendary, got to 130 in multiplayer. Frankly there isn’t much to keep me interested myself.

I haven’t seen many comments as contradictory as this one. Do you mean replayability?
I love this game. I don’t understand why you people want H3 with better graphics… Blows my mind.

You’ve done everything there is at this point. OP hasn’t even finished the campign which was good aside from anything forerunner related (pretty much anything cortana/chief)

Same thing really. Once you hit the top rank, what is left to do? I suppose I could try and get Commendations, but all I’ll be getting is new armor skins that are barely any different than base armor and no XP. I have no real desire to replay the Campaign either, I’ve only really gone back to look at one room in Composer and give LASO a try.

indeed they need to be specific on what they want in a halo game, otherwise it will be mistakein as them wanting a carbon copy of halo 3.

Okay, fair enough. I am not excited to reach SR130 myself. I’m at 117 right now.

We want an UPDATE on Halo 3 (or Halo 2). This means updated graphics, maps, cooler visual effects yes all of that. But it also means perhaps some new weapons, new gametypes (invasion was actually pretty cool) and yes maybe even some new abilities or equipment - provided they are balanced. Give us some new vehicles, new enemies in campaign - crawlers were cool but knights are a big time MEH. What would be really good is some NEW THINGS! What’s that mean? IDK, something no one has done before, not a borrowed concept from another series - I mean NEW, NEW, NEW. I think someone who calls themselves a “Game Designer” would be capable of designing something completely new.

yes but is there more for its gameplay?
like assassinations?.
I love this game. I still defend it. I had a period were I realized it was bad, but 343 has improved. They have added more gametypes that show they are getting better. The only thing I criticize about the game is that it had no replayability and the story was kinda trashy and bad.

Yes look at halo 4. It used the Reach engine and what you said was what people were saying when people heard about the news on Halo 4’s engine. Look how much they added. COD. They added tons of COD features and made it really bad. When a game reaches most of it’s potential it stays there. It just doesn’t try to copy (Halo 4 copied COD). It doesn’t take advantage of it’s fame either. THIS IS WHAT BUNGIE WAS TRYING TO SAY! HALO HAS REACHED IT’S MAX POTENTIAL AND SHOULD JUST END! BUT -Yoink!- CONTINUED IT AND MILKED THE FRANCHISE. So either keep it the same as halo 3. The original last Halo game or make it worse like Reach (which was still good) or milk it and copy other games for money (like halo 4 did). Wonder why COD is popular? Why, it’s because they don’t change the game too much they add small new things without changing nearly any of it’s gameplay (if they do it’s in certain gamemodes). People expect the same thing with a twist and so keep buying COD. If halo did that it would have been a even bigger success with a sustaining high population like COD. In Halo 4 all they added was COD. Why don’t they make it like halo 3 and add small things like assassinations, bubble shield gun, equipment and heck uhhh crossbows which shoot electric balls of paralysis? (Make halo like halo 3 with small new additions like dual wielding, forge, theatre -stuff bungie did in the past) Why not forget COD. Why ONLY CARE ABOUT THE MONEY?! Bungie didn’t care about the money completely and got what they wanted.
Make halo 5 an arena shooter like halo 1-2-3 and unique and more like halo 3 with an art style which looks like halo and not COD in a star wars skin which barely resembles halo with good maps and with small yet big additions like forge or theater or dual wielding. Bring back all the old guns along with new ones and don’t make the enemies look like reptilians make them look halo and how they are supposed to look not the typical generic sci-fi shooter alien! Be creative too!
If people want to support Halo 4, who are you to say no? I have my own opinions on this game, both good and bad. I highly doubt any one person can convince me to think otherwise and I do not expect people to agree with what I think either.
I don’t see much in the way of discussion value from the OP. We encourage users to be constructive with their posts.
