I am finall selling/trading this broken game, i have given it six months and iv only seen minor improvements

CSR has actually made it worse as now in every single game i play i come up against parties and clans as the try hards wont play alone in fear they loose their precious rank and i can see why the last two games i played half of my team left on both occasions leaving me to be raped not only in the game but also my rank which is just UNFAIR

actually that sums halo 4 up perfectly the game is just unfair, people no longer start on level playing fields and the dmr is currently the OP gun which is only now being addressed, ordinace drops are unfair, jip is unfair and stupid why do you think people want to join a game in which the team is being slaughtered and the other team is running around with an abundance of power weaons, whatever system pairs teams against each is clearly broken as i keep getting low levels on my team against high levels

I really have given this game alot of time iv played Multiplayer for more than 140 hours but its an effort every time, theres not one thing i enjoy anymore, in reach and 3 i played alot of BTB, however 343 seem to think people wanted BTB to be like heavies from reach you know the playlist that eliminated all skill and handed power weapons out as if the pennies, this seems to be the philosphy driving this game which i will no longer even support, i cannot wait to see the next dlc numbers as i bet only half of the 40,000 still presently playing buy it as id say the vast majority of them similarily to me bought either the limited edition or the war games map pass

Actually speaking of which heres a community question for you when was the last time you got a map selection consisting of maps from the first or second map pack??? where are they i paid for them but yet i cant play them WHY?

I read somewhere on these forums a very intelligent point that went something along the line of 343 is made of people who have played halo but not of people who have experiencing of making a halo game not one person in 343 actually worked on the gameplay or matchmaking experience of previous halos and it clearly shows now heres another point what experience does the lead multiplayer designer have oh let me see yeah thats right he designed CODS multiplayer ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that explains it, now b4 people rage im aware that BRAVO was brought in to try and get it back to traditional halo but has he succeeded, whats has happened, all i see is 343 stalling and doing a damage limitation exercise i mean gears got thier weapon balancing issues sorted within the first month we have had to wait six and ill gaurantee you they make a mess of that to

i genuinely feel robbed, 343 promised alot and failed to deliver on any, heres a quick list of the things that the community nearly all acknowledge 343 got wrong

(1)loadouts (2)JIP (3)BTB (4)forge (5)custom games (6)CSR (7)AA’s (8)personal ordinace (9)theatre (10)vehicles (11) Clan support (promised but not delivered)
(12) match making system in tterms of pairing teams of equal skill

i doubt many of the community will argue that 343 got any these right evrything in this game was only half finished as if they said “ahh that’ll do them” well 343 based on ur games numbers NO IT WONT DO and when BUNGIE releases their new game i imagine your population will drop further and ul be competeing with other games just to stay in the top ten of the xbl live charts

This is an end of an era i feel as if this is 343s effort at an arena shooter then this game will never return to former glory something even mr holmes said at the GDC as they are targeting a new demographic (CAsual LITTLE KIDDIES WHO LIKE TO FEEL SPECIAL WITH THEIR POWER WEAPONS YEAAAAAAAAAAAH)

Dont beleave me tha 343 have no intention of returning halo back to its former glory read this article: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191234/making_halo_4_a_story_about_.php?page=3

oh but i will remain on these forums just to see if im proven right in which 343 continue to turn their back on old halo players and cater to COD fan base

if youv made it all the way through this rant kudos and if you have also had a simiilar experience can u specify below what was the final straw for you with this game mine was CSR

bye

agreed and whats funny is they are targeting a lower age group but the game is rated M

I love halo to its core but honestly Halo 4 is so boring so much BS that i cant even have fun anymore.

Yes i am a tryhard but whats the point now when the other team can get snipers and use camo while im stuck with a needler

Wow, I wouldn’t have expected you to quit. It’s sad but I understand. I rarely play my Xbox anymore because of this mess. I’m actually not renewing my Xbox live or getting the Nextbox anymore. Halo was the the only reason I ever played. Now I have no reasons at all. Sorry to lose you. But I don’t think you’re turning your back on Halo, I think 343 did that.

lol, i understand all the spelling mistakes if you are angry
and i cant argue your points because, really its fact
i still love and play halo regardless, i do have my issues with it though

ALL we can hope for is that 343i learn from their mistakes as they dont seem to listen to their fanbase much

Completely agree they have made this game specifically for little children who dont have the attention span to learn how to get better at the game or (b) the dedication to put time and effort into a game to become better

halo was one of the last games which actually required skill to play well but this game has taken that away and with it a massive chunk of the community

nothing would make me happier than to see 343 learn from their mistakes and make halo 5 the best halo game yet but i will no longer support this game as i think its a shambles

Agreed

You know I agree with you. Only thing is there team is made of people who have worked on games before. lol But yeah dude totally feel you on the problems.

343 dont have any1 from bungie on their team which was responsible for the gameplay of previous halos they are taken from other games such as COD which is why IMO the gameplay has changed so drastically

OH dear god just please read this as it yet again proves 343 havent any intention of returning halo back to its roots as they HATED IT

My post on making the early dlc maps PLAYABLE got deleted by some self righteous mod trying to hide the simple fact that I paid for a product I can’t actually PLAY. If that happens with goods bought from a shop you are entitled to a refund. I wish I didn’t waste my points on that pass now. It’s a bad joke.

please visit this thread which reinforces why i dislike halo 4 and 343 and why i am no longer willing to support either

K, bye!

While I respect the game and think it’s great and better in some ways than the past games…they really muffed up the traditional feel we all expect from halo.

They added a bunch of crap that doesn’t belong and as much as I hate to admit it it’s kind of depressing. 343 went too far in terms of accessibility. By doing so they made the battleground hell sometimes. Because of ordinance, everyone can theoretically have an incinerator cannon or beam rifle at the same time, obviously anyone can loadout with a mini shotgun, and vehicle wasting plasma grenades and plasma pistols.

And the aim assist is noobishly high. Not to mention JIP is utterly cruel by placing people over and over in half-over already won games, and instant respawn makes the game too fast paced.

I know they understand they made some serious mistakes but I hope they aren’t oblivious to the fact that almost EVERYONE agrees they strayed much too far from the original formula.

Even Halo: Reach felt a lot like Halo. This game, that feeling is barely there.

ohhh nooo… waaa… sniff. halo is now more than a battle rifle, a sniper, and a rocket launcher on a tiny boring symetrical map.

I know you’re upset, and you have a right to be, but this little bit was a bit hard for me to read/digest.

To make points like this easier for others on the waypoint to read, perhaps use the bullet function. =] When you click reply(not the fast reply link), it will be in the top bar of text editing options, just to the right of the “Create Link”. You either do an “Unordered” or an “Ordered” list to suit your purposes.

Here’s your points in both lists so you can see the difference:

Unordered:

> - loadouts - JIP - BTB - forge - custom games - CSR - AA’s - personal ordinace - theatre - vehicles - Clan support (promised but not delivered)
> - match making system in tterms of pairing teams of equal skill

Ordered:

> - loadouts - JIP - BTB - forge - custom games - CSR - AA’s - personal ordinace - theatre - vehicles - Clan support (promised but not delivered)
> - match making system in tterms of pairing teams of equal skill

This way you can better organize your thoughts and complaints, and make it a bit easier for 343 and other forum goers to see what’s making you upset! A lot of people for sure agree with you on many of them.

Hope that helps a bit with organizing your complaints! :]

all you did is list everything that made h4 h4. i ( and plenty of others) wanted these changes and 343 delivered
