Getting harder to tolerate this game?

Games Other Halo

This is not for the guys/gals who are lovin it up with this game.

So is anyone else having a hard time tolerating Halo 4. I get so frustrated with it that I don’t even know where to start. I don’t like saying this as a halo fan, because I want to like my halo games. The fact that I’m not enjoying it is bad.

The -Yoinked!- up customs
File browser isn’t even working …
Joining In Progress creates more imbalance than it does good (thankfully I found a way to leave jip before joining, I shouldn’t have to do this.

The party ui is garbage.
Dmr God weapon
Pistol shotgun
They kept camo and jet pack. They are just as annoying in Reach. Teams camping with PV and making the game pace very slow and boring.
Personal ordnance granting everyone a power weapon. I’m tired of seeing btb turn into a -Yoinking!- Heavies game.

-Yoinking!- flinch. Makes sniper weapons op, etc.
Too much -Yoink- in loadouts. Things aren’t simple anymore. I find my self changing my loadouts every time it’s a specific playlist.

As my friends put it, “The tried to kinda -sorta make this game like cod.” If we wanted some cod, we’d go play it, not halo. Hey, much of the population 343 tried to grab flocked over to the real cod. Now they are stuck with us, perhaps a split community.

At least cod has been staying true to their formula. Srry if I didn’t touch on things more or went in depth on certain things, but I don’t have the energy and time to spell it all out. I feel like I have vent my frustration somewhere.

I’m on my mobile, so I apologize for some grammar or spelling mistakes. Just want to say that my real life friends, ranking up for goodies, and spops is the only thing keeping my from not playing. I don’t know how much a TU would turn things around. I’m more scared to see what they’ll do with H5 than optimistic… don’t know what much else to say. No I’m not a hater. I’ve tried avoiding game by any means (play another game, not get on Xbox, you name it…). Reach and halo 4 or the only halo games that have caused me to rage. I play to win, not -Yoink- around in competitive war games. Flood is the only chill game type available, and that’s even annoying. Dat thruster…

Anyways I’m out.

It’s sad, isn’t it. Halo 4 had and still has so much potential. They did so many things wrong when they could have easily done them right. Such a pity.

The game is getting harder to tolerate.
The people who don’t want the game fixed are making it even harder to tolerate.

My #1 issue: checkpoints. Compared to CE and Reach, which gave you infinite checkpoints in some spots, every mission of Halo 4 is like Two Betrayals, an absolute nightmare.

I’ve been testing some things out on Requiem (hint: Elite snipers) and I only have 4 checkpoints to work with. One of the checkpoints comes right after another one, making it absolutely pointless! After that, I’m only left with 1 single checkpoint so if I make a mistake with my setup and can’t fix it, I have to start all over again!

just remember we’re on the unofficial beta things can only get better from now on… just remember that, only better it can’t get worse

Not really. The game wont become any better regardless of what he says. The game really is doomed from a classic Halo perspective. There’s a reason it’s called “HALO”. I mean, if a company owns the rights to 2 different games, they can literally swap the names of both of them and call one the other and no one can do anything about it. That doesn’t mean that conceptually the games are different. In the same way, a company that has the rights to a game can change it to the point where it no longer remotely resembles it’s predecessors, so just because they’ve done that and kept the name the same and increased the number on the end by 1, doesn’t mean that the game is conceptually related.

So in essence, it’s become difficult for me to consider “Halo 4” to actually be a Halo game anymore. Truth is, the almighty original has never had a worthy sequel.

I have to agree on some of these sadly, I really dont like how my specialisations are down to 2 now after I got the LE.

What’s even sadder is that a simple public beta test or even them doing a decent test should of revealed all of this. Everyone keeps pointing out the same very basic gameplay mechanics, level design issues, matchmaking mechanics, character development, story line development and a lack of final question.

No clue how game designers could do so poorly.

Have to love spending extra money on a game to have the developers give you the finger and reduce you to a normal copy.

I agree with all of this however I feel it is still a good game with great potential. I am shocked how much instant re-spawns,ordinance drops and map design have turned this game into a camp fest. Flag used to be about scoring multiple flags to win’ not capture one and camp. Having weapons on map used to solve this problem. I hope there will be classic settings in the playlist. Big Team Battle! Team objective Classic! Please 343 don’t let us down. If we wanted to play COD we would just go play that. You have done such a good job with many aspects of this game.
