The smooth movement and general feel is familiar but refreshing.
I was so hating on armor abilities and everything "new " but really it goes well with the game by far the most balanced.
Even though I’m a hardcore / MLG player I still love to jump in BTB and flood which other halos never made me do.
For people that are hating and going back to reach well you can hate and go back to reach. Beacause you can’t adapte enjoy your slow kill times and grey maps with your bloom and armor lock.
Just wait as they update this game more its going to be sick.
No halo can step to this one. I don’t hate I rate.
Feel free to add me for EU MLG/FFA customs hardcore players please .
The Campaign is brilliant but could of done with a few more levels but thats only because it was so good. This game has got be back into MP gaming and I didn’t expect that at all, great job 343.
I just really hate the DMR. If anything slows down the game, it’s the DMR.
They said they tried to speed up the pace of the game and keep the battle going, but the DMR does the complete opposite. It’s part of the reason why I loathe Complex. Get into a Slayer game on complex and just listen. It’s dead silent because everyone is camping behind a box somewhere because the DMR is a practically infinite range weapon.
Other than the DMR, I think they did a great job. I’m not a huge fan of the maps, but I guess I’ll get used to them.

Yup, DMR has too great accuracy at range whilst being boss at close combat…Needs something doing about that.
Solve some major issues and Halo 3 ranks top. Halo 4 is fun but I continue to miss the equal footing slayer matches from Halo 3. I hope an occasional list is a vanilla slayer selection of maps with standardized drops and appropriate spawn times and no custom loadouts.
Loving dominion and the changes to pre-existing variants though. Spartan Ops also rocks!
I think the kill times are too fast, actually. I can DMR someone and before they even have time to react, their shields are down. When team-shooting with them, kills are almost instantaneous.
Hell yeah, this game is great. The campaign definitely took the story to another level, one of the most emotional stories I can remember ever playing. My two major gripes with the game are: 1) problems with the sound in the campaign, especially during cutscenes, 2) the DMR being way overpowered. But everything else is awesome.
I like how armour abilities arn’t as overpowered as in Reach. I barely use mine!
I loved the campaign too, it was brilliant. However, has anyone noticed 343 are taking it in a more serious direction, there wasn’t any of the silly Bungie humour. I do sort of miss it, but I don’t really mind, it’s just different but in a good way.
> I am never going back to Reach. Ever.
> Maybe Halo 3 before they shut down the servers though
You do realize that Halo 3 is a P2P right? The reason Halo 2 got shut down was that it wasn’t just Halo 2, it was EVERY game that was on the original Xbox. In order for them to kill off Halo 3, they’d have to kill off the rest of the games on the 360 as well.
Feels like halo 2? Are you insane? I’m not even bothering with this outrageous topic. All I can say is… OP doesn’t know what he/she is talking about. Bye.
Coming from a day 1 fan, I’d say H4 is my current #3 in the list of best Halos.
Won’t beat CE for nostalgia’s sake (its one helluva drug…I know)
Won’t beat H2 because that simply is really on another level…period
But its so much more fun to play than any of the other Halos. Campaign is finally a great one (with some gripes!) compared to utter lackluster H3 and soulless Reach. Multiplayer is fast and furious, reminds me a lot of how H2 was back in the days.
Simply put, its great.
Its the fresh breath of air Halo needed ever since 2007. Long overdue, but very welcome in my books.
I don’t want super fast kill times… it takes away teamwork… the matchmaking sucks… by far the worst out of all of the halo’s got people popping in and out of games like freaking call of duty, this game needs a title update to remove JiP and give us a region filter for those of us who are not in the US. The guns are extremely easy to use and there is excessive auto aim making the skill gap nothing.
I can go on and on about what needs to be fixed in this game .__.
I agree this multiplayer is maybe the greatest since the original. Not liking the small amount of maps though.
Please don’t overtweak the balance and make the game boring 343, there will always be someone complaining until everything is crap. The balance is great, every weapon has it’s purpose. People saying the dmr is great close range are wrong. It’s good in the hands of someone who can use it and thats a good thing seeing as it’s a skill intensive weapon. The assault rifle will always beat it close range with an equally skilled player though.
Oh and release some more maps without us having to pay out the nose for them. Garner some faith with the community because this map situation is looking a little greedy on your part.
