Making this thread to list the flaws of halo 4 for a better halo 5. Since 343 can get ridiculously limited sometimes. They’ve done a good job so far, and I enjoy the game, but I just wanted to list all the flaws and let other people post flaws I’ve missed. And maybe 343 will fix the flaws? Who knows, but I hope they use this as a reference.
- Design flaws
-
Sniper rifle [when zoomed in it shows a square scope, however it should show a circle scope since practically you should be looking in to the scope on the left side of the box on top of the rifle]
-
End game cutscene [This is a popular one, chief’s height in the end game cutscene far exceeds what it’s meant to be, appearing much taller than Palmer, when initially he was just a few inches taller than her, she even said that she was expecting him to be taller.]
- Story flaws (most explanations are found in books, but 343 need to find a way to tell people who don’t read the books why everything is happening in the way it is)
-
Explanations needed [better explanation needed for Cortana’s reaction and knowledge of the Didact and Librarian.]
-
Explanations needed [no explanation for why the covenant are back, why they’re siding with the didact, why they’re so different in-game.]
-
Explanations needed [no explanation for why elites are fighting against humans for as far as we know they’ve revolted against the covenant in halo 3.]
-
Insignificant [no reaction to forerunner weaponry, however in the E3 demo Cortana acted surprised when you picked up the light rifle for the first time on requiem.]
- Mechanic flaws
- Small medal flaw [people are able to get the “Hail Mary” badge by sticking someone, dying and then respawning far away from the initial sticky death]
Remember, the lists grows (or shrinks) depending on the people that post and suggest flaws that haven’t been shown yet. Hopefully 343 fixes all mechanical and (fixable) design flaws. Or just use the knowledge and learn from mistakes to make halo 5 even better.
Wah.
