Putting problems like the DMR aside this game’s main problem is its just boring. It feels lifeless when playing matchmaking.
They made fun things like teabagging useless. The maps are boring. The weapons are boring. The music is boring. No friendly fire is boring.
> They made fun things like teabagging useless.
If THAT’S why you play Halo, you might be about to just jump right out that closet.
Solution: Don’t play Halo 4.
You’re welcome.
I stopped playing Halo 4… It’s strange me and my friends have been playing Halo consistently for 9 years and then Halo 4 came out and we are already bored and tired of this shallow excuse of a Halo game. But on the brightside Mass Effect’s multiplayer is still a lot of fun, and I have been enjoying Ni No Kuni as well.
So the OP’s saying that teabagging at one point was useful?
That’s all I can think of to say. This is such a non-argument that there’s nothing to debate.
Okay, so maybe OP is the only person that cares about how fun teabagging was. but he’s got a valid point.
I am bored as all hell when I play this game.
And ya know what it is? A complete lack of ranking system that encourages betterment and competition. Without a Visual Ranking System to show people where they are at and give them incentive to move to a higher rank, there is no reason to keep playing. Commendations aren’t for everyone, especially people like me who aren’t going to sacrifice stats and normal gameplay to try to complete the plasma pistol commendation. that’s limited. Just give me good gameplay, competitive matches, and a ranking system to move through and I’ll play all day. /
That’s the issue here.

People like you need to leave. The solution should never be to just quit on a franchise you have been apart of for 10+ years. This is a community that is know for actively voicing their opinions, if you don’t like that, then don’t participate on the forums, or don’t post in threads where you can’t offer constructive criticism.
> No friendly fire is boring.
This is so true . No friendly fire makes the game way too easy, to the point where you almost don’t have to think . 
Please , bring back friendly fire .
> No friendly fire is boring.
You are likely one of the people that caused it to be removed in the first place.
As for the game being boring, you’re entitled to your opinion. Though I would have to disagree. If it’s boring, why not play something else? It’s not like the Xbox 360 is lacking on shooters.

Not everyone needs a virtual number to tell them how good they are. I play game to game in Halo 4. If I win, I did good. If I lose, I did bad. I don’t need a number to tell me that.
All it was in Halo 3 was a virtual -Yoink!- anyways. I’m kind of glad it’s gone because all it ever did was segment the community even more than it already is. Level 50s in H3 acted like they were gods gift to Halo 3 and they did nothing but act like -Yoinks!- to anyone who wasn’t a 50. Like it some how made them a better human being. Not to mention that ranks promote deranking and boosting.
I cannot count how many times I saw boosted 50s and derankers on Halo 3.
To each their own I suppose…
I for one do not find Halo 4 boring in the slightest. Don’t get me wrong, the game isn’t perfect by any means (what game is at launch?), but it is still a great game that just keeps improving with each passing update.
It’s just you… The game is not boring… Maybe you should stick to checkers…
Agreed.
I don’t feel it’s boring. Yesterday I hit 130, so I went to play some BO2, some Battlefield 3 etc. In the evening I played few matches in Halo 4 and man, it was really fun! Today there will be new maps, so I think I will play Halo 4 even more.
Only thing that bothers is overpowered DMR, frame rate issues on split screen and very few maps. Other than that I love it. Much more than I ever did with Halo 3. I like H3’s atmosphere, bright and colorful maps etc, but lately I found out, that when I’m actually playing it, I feel… bored. Even though I spent more time online with Halo 4 last few months, than Halo 3 last few years.

Wether or not he’s one of them, no friendly fire, is boring.
It’s removing depth from the game, Halo 4 is very shallow compared to the other games when it comes to the game mechanics adding depth to the game.

No, that’s wrong, you don’t lose in Halo 4. Everyone is a winner. You just get a small insignificant bonus at the end of a match if your team happen to have more points than the other, and you personally can get a bigger bonus if you personally do the best in the match as well. What’s lacking is a segregation from winning and losing, a so called “incentive to win”, that and a system that promotes team work and team work only.
The only thing that would have been needed for that would be that the only the winner gets XP, and only medals and kills from the winning matches count towards commendations.

Oh? What’s k/d supposed to be now then? A lot of players in the game go to objective playlists to farm kills, not doing squat to win the match.
If anything at all, it just sounds like the rotten eggs in the 50 family got to you and you’re only bitter about that, everyone has gotten crap from those, you know what the secret is? Don’t bother with them.
A visible ranking system would bring so much, altough perhaps not anymore, it may be too late.

Like there can’t be systems implemented to decrease those aspects.

Thank you for summing up why im bored with Halo 4. I just couldn’t put my finger on it until now.

Funny how that it is perfect solution for all those that are -Yoinking!- about how useless Halo 4 is!!!
I agree.
If you don’t like it, then why post incessantly on this forum, and keep on playing?
Everybody deserves better.
Don’t torture yourself 
leave
I don’t mind Halo 4. It’s just the DMR is OP… I wish Halo 4 was like Halo 3.
Oh well, gotta live with it.

In all due respect there are other series such as cod, crysis, battlefield, and gears of war that you could try in order to distract from the wait of your requested updates. If you aren’t liking a game anymore simply play another until this one grabs your attention again.

You are most likely bored since you are rank 112 on the game… LOL!
Remember when the Halo forum was a fun place for people to gather to discuss all things Halo and there was very little groaning and complaining?
Good times. I honestly am at the point to say that its not the developers fault anymore. People just refuse to be happy with anything. 343 could put in a ranking system tomorrow and tons of people will start to say how they are turned off by how competitive the game has become and how they aren’t catering to the casual player.
