Hey all. Haven’t been on the forums for a while but I thought I would pop by to put my 2 cents in.
I really like H4 and I thought with all the “extra” stuff 343 put in I would hate it. There are some problems however I would like to bring up.
Problems:
Boltshot super over powered for a loadout.
Large maps. All of the maps are to large. We don’t have small variations in order to play double team or some really close range 4v4. Small 4v4 maps are always good fun. Complex, Adrift, Harvest and Solice could all be used 8v8 which means they are to large for 4v4. Where are the maps like Midship, Guardian, Lockout, Countdown etc. from previous titles.
Don’t Really like the way sprint allows you to run off into the sunset after being hurt. Being shot while sprinting should immediatly kill your sprint and the ability to sprint for a few seconds.
Positives:
Weapon Balance (except boltshot) I have found the balance between BR, DMR, Carbine and LightRifle to be pretty good. Small tweaks a posibility but it works pretty good the way it is.
Loadouts. Nothing to over powered even though I still don’t like them.
Ranking system in the backround seems to be working pretty good. Would be nice to be able to see it so you know what your in for each game though.
Nades. No longer Nukes. Even though they are still powerful (which they should be) they are avoidable.
Overall I think you did a great job 343. I think with some minor tweeking and some smaller maps H4 is an absolutly great game.
P.S. Can’t wait for an MLG playlist. In the setting MLG has right now the game has great flow and fun games.

At least you have the class to admit the game is good. Unlike most of the all or nothing haters on this forum.
For the most part I agree with you, however lets be honest… the boltshot is avoidable… if you are any good, which based on your desire for an MLG playlist I will assume you are. If you post your total deaths and deaths to boltshot I think it will show you really have nothing to complain about in this area. With promo vision and a talented DMR user, it’s pretty simple to make quick work of boltshot nubs… it doesn’t really need nerfing. In my opinion it is good as it puts an end to chasing and encourages careful gameplay.
That aside we are in agreement. Halo 4 is a fantastic game with (like any game) a few minor issues.
Well, the game is good for sure, it’s Halo anyway. But saying “few problems”… coughs it’s like saying that the sea is “a bit wet”. They have lots of work to fix in this game before it can be really what they thought about when creating it…
