I’ve only seen a few complaints about the game so far, things like the way the weapons like sniper look and sound, or the game not following canon, and it makes me laugh. I’ve been at the ghost recon future soldier forums recently, and before that the gears of war ones. Those games have real problems, and the forums are constantly flooded with complaints about the game being broken.
Just sayin, if the best people can complain about is what weapons look and sound like or grunts looking different then I think you’re doin a good job 343. Halo has always been my most consistent and reliable multiplayer experience on xbox.
Edit: Sniper does look like poop though. Reach sniper looked and sounded best.
What about:
AAs
BR 5sk
Loadouts
No competitive ranking system (yet announced)
Perks
Unlockable weapons
Bloom
Sprint
No Servers
No Elites
No Dual-wielding
Random Ordinance drops
( i don’t complain about ANY of the above,i was just pointing out other topics)
No once can complain about gameplay or campaign because no one has been allowed to play the game yet. If 343i had the balls to release a beta, these forums would be much, much different.

The difference is that those things are about peoples opinions on what would make the game better or worse. None of that is gamebreaking. The game wont be unplayable because the br takes an extra shot to kill, or you cant rank to lvl 50 or whatever the complaints are about. I’ve played games that desperately need servers, but I’ve never felt like halo has needed them.
On the ghost recon forums, the problems are things like the servers constantly being down. Connections being horrendous. Host migrations and server disconnects. People are losing levels on their characters. Problems where they can’t even get on the game and play it how it’s supposed to work.
I’m not saying there’s nothing to complain about for halo. I’m just saying in comparison to other games I usually play and discuss, these problems are minuscule. Halo is lookin good to me.

That’s a fair point. We haven’t actually had a chance to play the game yet, so maybe once we do there will be many problems.

Glad they are back. They add variety to the game and they’ll be better than Reach, I’m sure of it.
Probably will be changed to 4sk cause of the s–t storm being raised over it.
Given the large sandbox and multiple utility weapons, this is great.
There will be one.
Specializations aren’t like perks in other games.
A non-issue as there will be preset classes.
Doesn’t function like it does on Reach. This looks to be mostly visual bloom.
Once again not like Reach, guns have stopping power on H4 that will slow a sprinter down.
Halo has pretty good net code and probably got better for H4. As for hit detection H4 uses hitscan so it being P2P shouldn’t be too much of a problem like it is in H3 or CoD.
Kind of a bummer?
Such a silly/stupid thing that doesn’t work. Glad its gone.

As i said i don’t complain about any of those.
I agree 100% on what you said…exept for Bloom,if you look at the Magnum it is consistent,anyhow it is to be considered a side arm weapon;it’s fine.
> No once can complain about gameplay or campaign because no one has been allowed to play the game yet. If 343i had the balls to release a beta, these forums would be much, much different.
Had the balls?
343i isn’t releasing a public beta for many reasons.
It would take time and focus away from the polishing they want to do.
It honestly won’t help more than a private beta. People play a public beta because they want to play the game early. Not to look for glitches and bugs. Do you think people lined up at E3 to find bugs?
With the community right now, they would just get a ton of opinionized feedback, lots of rage, and many people jumping to conclusions.
A non-biased Private/internal beta would be much more efficient. A public beta won’t get any better results. It would just make these forums more of a mess of complainers and haters who can’t accept even a small amount of change.
343i has already said they’re doing a lot of internal testing.
and another thing, most of the people on these forums who complain, do so in a knowledgeable fashion,
they give us a nice wall of text explaining what’s wrong, why it’s wrong, and how it can be fixed
while on other forums, people just rage the game up, it’s stupid
(yeah, i know a FEW people here do just post hate words, but they are the lesser)
You should see the Mass effect 3 multiplayer forums. Lemme sum it up for you: " NERF EVERYTHING" “Oh this weapon is too powerful… Nerf” “Nerf the infiltrator class” “The eagle still sucks with buff” “people suck at Gold” “MOAR NERF”…

Dont mind if there are counters
Not a problem from what I see in the MLG gameplay
Great, just dont have overpowered combos
We dont know yet
Not a problem, its not like the COD perks that I usually use (Assassin/Hardline)
certain gametypes/playlists will have preset loadouts with weapons
So far on Dmr and Pistol, Dmr is a subtle bloom to prevent spam in CQC and Pistol meant to be a side arm or last resort
8.Sprint was the most used AA in reach so why not make it default?
From what I have heard the netcode is really goood for Halo 4
Reach elites were undermined with no customization and multiplayer canon elites are not practicing in the infinity
Im neutral with this, 343 said things would be broken with dual wielding
Please dont call it random… items drop in certain locations but they are randomized in what sequence they drop
There are subtle problems (not gamebreaking) with these but they are certainly not broken

Those complaints have died down A LOT, it’s really just a matter of opinion if you like or dislike the features you listed and plus, there are classic playlists, confirmed, which cancel out most of those complaints anyway. The new Infinity Slayer will be for people who want a fresh and new experience and also for new players who will probably prefer it.

Well said, but I think the cea sniper was the best looking and sounded the best out of all of them. That’s my opinion anyways.

There is absolutely nothing special about there not being “real” complaints yet. That kind of complaints always come post-release when the actual gamebreaking faults of the game arise. So, I wouldn’t really use the severity of complaints as a measure of how well they are doing with the game. If no major complaints are present a few weeks after release, then you can say they did well.
> Edit: Sniper does look like poop though. Reach sniper looked and sounded best.
Reach sniper looks great, however I have to say, the best sniper sound was the one from Halo CE…or the remastered audio from Anniversary. it feels so powerful.
