Considering 343i is a new studio, it’s incredible how well their first game was.
It was generally praised as being incredibly awesome, however they was many complaints, a few big, the majority minor.
It’s good to see 343i is addressing and fixing/fixed the majority of these issues.
If 343 manages to correct these issue, then Halo 4 will be so close to perfection.
Not everybody will think the same way, there is still people who like the original Halos better. But as 343i intended Halo 4’s experience to be like, it is indeed inching closer to flawless.

Why dont you just pop that black ops 2 disk in the sucker if you hate halo so much? There are hope 343 can fix many of the complaints (forge, playlist, custom games)

Why should we hope? If 343 really was gonna fix those issues, why don’t they address it? Oh wait, it’s because they’re awful at communicating, and because they don’t plan on fixing most of that stuff. They care too much about crap like “Infinity Challenge loool” and stuff like that.

Broken? Only when some little kid rages and snaps his disc in half
Unbalanced? Yeah, I’ll give you the DMR
Unfun? That’s just like, your opinion bro
Noncompetitive? I’m always wearing my try-hard sweat bands, its definetly competitive with my 20 wins today.
Luck-based? Only if you’re playing swat
No incentive to win? I’m sure you like winning
Changed Halo’s core? I see Spartans and vehicles, and guns, and aliens, there’s even a BR!
Removed a ridiculous amount of custom games? HEY LOOK! You finally made a good point! Good for you!
Butchered Forge? Yeah, that happened too…
3 good points:
Balance, only with a few weapons
Custom Games
Forge
Atleast you had some good thoughts in that adorably empty little head of yours.

Well atleast the new forge community playlist gave me hope, yes there is a laundry list of fixes but still, its step to good direction, right?

You shouldn’t praise them for taking one step in the right direction when they took 20 steps in the wrong direction to turn around. I will only give them credit when major issues have been fixed.

Thanks for your post. The insults and lack of logic Halo 4 defenders like Joebug46809 have is extremely amusing.

The best part is that they never suffer any consequences
So was CE, and everyone praised that. 343 is new, give them a chance like you gave Bungie a chance in the first game.
> unbalanced
You’re repeating yourself here.
> unfun
>Opinions
> uncompetitive
I’ve never understood how this game isn’t competitive.
> luck-based
You’re putting -way- too much emphasis on loadouts now.
> has no incentive to win
How about having fun? Or do you need a number to validate yourself to a videogame, because that hints at something you should talk to a therapist about.
> Changed Halo’s core
Guys in power armor can run fast, jump high and shoot aliens while punching them across rooms and flipping tanks. Halo’s core is pretty much still there.
> Removed a ridiculous amount of custom games
This I’ll agree on, but there’s hope they will fix it.
> Butchered Forge
All they need to do is add a Forge World. It’s still better than Halo 3’s Forge by a long shot, believe you me.
I agree that there are a few things in the game that do wind me up a little - for instance I’m getting a bit sick of playing on Haven, but personally I think that it was a good move on 343’s part to try something new - at least with regards to the Halo series. Now they have a lot of great feedback with which to improve Halo 5 and 6!
Whilst I agree that things like personal ordinance drops giving power weapons away are annoying, I don’t particularly mind the idea of spawning with stickies and boltshots. You have to get incredibly close for the boltshot to be effective anyway, and it is far inferior to any decent player with a BR/DMR, and as for stickies? Well they keep me on my toes!
It’s too late to do a complete 360 turn around. I think you’re getting a little carried away with what they can do with halo 4. TU will make it more tolerable. They aren’t going to do what everyone says lol. I’ll be waiting and paying attention to halo 5 closer than any other halo. I won’t be fooled again.

Read Mr 945961624827’s post for more in depth information.
BTW, it’s amazing how you consider “Halo 4 Forge is better than Halo 3 forge” a compliment. Uh, Halo 3 was the first iteration of forge EVER and came out 5 years ago…it would be downright embarrassing if it wasn’t better.
It’s embarrassing how the Forge in Halo 4 is worse than Forge from a game back in 2010
