Concerns i have include;
-
laggy kill cams and/or bad hit and damage mapping. ive watched many of my death replays from enemy point of view. Most of them involve shooting 2 or 3 feet wide of me, or most recently someone who finished me off by shooting the wall beside him and not me. melee kills from six feet away are always funny 2.

everyone is an olympic high jumper. i realize these are genetically engineered super soldiers, but jumping roughly 10 feet strait up from a standing position in combat armor is ridiculous. ive had people jump over my speeding warthog and ghost without jump packs.
-
weapon balance. ive noticed the mid-long range rifles (DMR, Battle Rifle, Covenant Carbine and Light Rifle) have made choosing short range automatics or long range rifles relatively pointless in larger maps. why run through a clip or 2 on the assault rifle or struggle for a head shot with a sniper rifle when i could use my DMR to kill you in 4 or 5 shots from long range? often times without using the scope at all. yes assault rifle is good for point blank, but so are swords and shotguns. all of which you still need to get close to use effectively.

no regular slayer in war games. Maybe i missed something but Infinity Slayer, Big Team Infinity Slayer, Regicide, and Team Slayer Pro are NOT the standard 4-8 player free for all matches that im looking for or they are NOT FFA format at all. Regicide comes close and is in its own way fun. however marking the target to create 6 player ‘run ins’ is not the same as find, kill, fend for yourself.

The load time of the halowaypoint site, lag and such. im putting this out there because i would have liked to check and read other forum posts. See if anyone is having similar concerns. However Seeing as how it took something like 10 minutes and a few refreshes just to get to this point, that would take me at least a couple of hours. i realize that this is Halo 4. i realize it was released on Tuesday. I have to assume that you knew there would be massive amounts of traffic on the site. I never had the issues i have here on the World of Tanks forums. they have something like 40 million members so its not as if they’re working with a small fan base.
Other than that i like the look and the feel of the game for the most part. love the new maps as well as seeing the ones i used to play. the character customizing is not to complicated and makes me feel as if this character is something im building as well as playing.
Anyways thats my piece. agree or disagree be my guest. thats what forums are good for!
