Bringing some issues to light.

Games Other Halo
1

So i have put a considerable amount of time into halo 4 and id like to bring up some issues that i have seen.

Wrong ORD drop: Basically when a drop spawns it might say spartan laser or sticky etc, but when you reach the item it turns out to be something else. For me i keep having stickies show but a binary rifle spawns instead and spartan laser shows but grenades are there instead.

Broken ORD tags: Has happened with me on both world drops and personnel drops, basically the indicator that a drop is there stays way longer after said weapon has been picked up.

Splatters: Kind of random on this one pretty sure its due to lag. But i can sometimes hit someone full speed and not splatter them but i can nudge a team member and accidentally kill them.

Bad Spawns: Before you jump to conclusions i don’t mean spawning near enemies. my first issue is in big team matches or complex i have spawned right infront of a teammates vehicle path and nearly killed or killed. The second is i have had spawns flip for no reason. For instance yesturday i started a match on solace sniped 2 enemies on the other sniper tower only to have them re spawn behind me. My teammates were only half way across the maps.

god mode?: have had issues where people will take several shots to the head (no shields) and live. This is to the back of their head. Or times where the shields don’t break even when landing all my shots. This happens to me frequently with the BR. Not sure if its due to lag or the BR itself.

Stickies/melees not connecting: i have had perfectly lag free matches where the stickie bounces off the enemy or where the melee animation and sound goes through but it does nothing.

Boltshot OHK range inconsistency: what i mean is sometimes i can hit them a little out of melee lunge range and get a OHK sometimes i will point blank with a charge shot and it only strips shields. Maybe due to lag.

melee lunges: Issues where it won’t lunge even at point blank and issues where i go for a back sack but it makes me lunge at someone else.

mantis stomp: i have been killed mid jet pack by a mantis stomp when i was far off the ground. I have also had issues where i stomp an enemy directly infront of me and the manage to live and jack me.

Flood JIP: spawning in on no team but has aim assist on me making it possible for both teams to kill me even though it may be a betrayal. And people JIP with weapons that arn’t supposed to be in flood like DMR’s and AR’s.

Boltshot instant reload glitch: self explanitory.

those are all i can think of ATM. Love halo 4 but hoping to see a fix to these soon.

You know bumping is against the rules right? Explain the Boltshot instant reload glitch to me. I only play Spops and have heard about it a couple of times.

Also, the lack of many options in custom games. Seriously, you can’t even change the zombie’s weapon!

basically there is a button combo to make it so the boltshot is reloaded and ready to preform another charged shot after the first one. I don’t know the combo but i have seen a friend of mine stumble across doing it.

That is an issue. But i ment like bugs and stuff that need to be patched. Should have worded my title better /:

I’ve actually witnessed the spawning issue many times on the Ragnarok multiplayer map. My friend usually grabs the sniper rifle and posts up on the front of the base near the gravity lift, and i hang around the back of the base to cover him on foot, or in the mantis/other vehicles. During this process i have seen the enemies spawn in the back corner behind our base (Red Base). I didnt understand how they could be spawning there, especially since there were up to 3 or 4 of our teammates still in or around the base. Just wanted to post up my experience here so others can check it out, hopefully a fix will come in the future .

Glad im not the only one. I can understand spawns flipping if you have taken over the enemies base. But just because i may have a line of sight on a few spawns shouldn’t mean all of their spawns are in danger.

Sounds ridiculous. How do people even figure this stuff out?
