so a lot of people like or even love halo 4. i am one of those people, but i, just like many others, have a few nit picks and problems with the game. i’m gonna list these things below.
-
Secondary Weapon Icon: now this is something that i know has been in halo since halo2. it was an improvement, so why has it been removed/left out? this is something that 343i MUST put in a TU. i have had times that i forget what my secondary weapon is thinking it’s a pistol/boltshot/plasma pistol and not have the right tool for the job.
-
Auto Objective Pickup: this feature is nice and can make the game more fluid, but i find it annoying at times when you’re trying to fight off the guys around the flag and all of a sudden you’re stuck with a flagnum instead of that shotgun and rocket launcher.
-
Inablity to Drop Objective Objects: i tend to have problems with tryin to get a full/good team of buds to play with so most of the time i get suck with Randies. most of the time those randies don’t know what the word Teamwork means. so i’m left assuating/defending on my own. now if i run in on my own and grab the flag and start runnin back for the cap and have a power weapon, i would like to be able to use that weapon (or armor ability) to be able to carry my terrible team to victory like i could in all the other Halo games. i’m not saying that Halo 4 needs to be just like all the old halos, but there are some things that shouldn’t be changed.
-
Boltshot: … broken. shotgun range is to long and single fire sots are too weak. it should not take a full clip to pop the shields of an enemy player. Debuff shotgun and Buff single fire shots.
-
Plasma Pistol: if it’s gonna burn through its ammo so fast then it should pack a bigger punch in single shot form. i think the current plasma pistol works fine in evey way minus the single fire damage. so buff the single fire shots.
-
Plasma Grenades: i love stickies, but the old stickies were so much better. these H4 sticks just suck balls. it only kills if it’s at point blank range. wtf? i could get over kills with one sicky in halo 3 and reach. i know plasmas are ment more for 1on1 to make it a more percise grenade and have it fall more into that roll it’s ment for, but by doin that it just makes them suck.
-
Thruster Pack: buff it. it needs to be slightly stronger. not much just enough so that you move faster and farther than when you would be sprinting somewhere. i’ve looked at it and tested it, you move the same speed and distance as someone in full sprint. maybe make it be 20% stronger, that might just do it.
Added:
-
Armor Mods: some of them are okay and don’t affect the game very much, like shielding and mobility, but some of them change it big time like the wheelman mod. the wheelman mod makes vehicles slightly tougher and it drasticly reduces the emp time. i do a lot of driving, but i don’t think this mod should exist, the emp time should just be between the unmoded and moded versions.
-
Emblem Unlocks: this is just pure bull. i was a volcano of anger when i got home and started up halo 4 for the first time. i went in to change my emblem and… i have border line nothing to use and none of the stuff i want to use. next time get it right 343i, full emblem unlock on day 1.
-
Challenges: i hate it when one of the dailies is to get like 18 kills in one game with an automatic loadout weapon. by doin this 343i is strongly encourage people to just spawn with an AR and run head on into battle with a terrible chance at winning, which means if you’d like to win that game you better be able to make up for at least half your team goin -10 or more. i like challenges, but some fo them just encourage bad game play choices or boosting.
-
Weapons on Map: how many times have you been in a BTB game and ran out of ammo? for me this happen almost every game. and it’s because i try to use the range weapons at range. with all the kills i’m getting being half way across the map in the wide open i can’t resupply any ammo or scavenge weapons. if there were some weapons setting on the map however, i would not have this problem. i could just walk back to base and refill my DMR, but no, 343i says we have random drops and custom loadouts so weapons on map are pointless… no they’re not. why can’t we have both weapons on map and ordence drops? seems to work fine on the forge maps i’ve made so far.
-
Skill Rank System: i (like many other people) want to see the return of a skill ranking system. now i hated that in Halo 3 i was stuck at Field Major because i couldn’t go past 30, but it doesn’t have to work that way. if the system tracks your performance and wins and then auto updates your skill rank after every game, but doesn’t require a certian skill rank to be able to reach a higher spartan rank then it will work fine. please 343i if not in Halo 4, try it in Halo 5.
so that will do it for now. i’m sure i will most likely come up with a few more things and i will post them then. untill that time please share ur thoughts by commentng below.
