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
