Some people might say its very call of duty like and I can see why. since 3 it has taken more and more steps to become the same play as COD, dont believe me?
load outs - classes
ordinance - care packages
perks - perks
those are among the biggest three but what really gets to me is
-
not all the maps are incorporated in multiplayer
playing haven, adrift, longbow, ragnok, and exile gets boring
even complex, vortex, abandon, meltdown and solace (when voted for) get to be tiring -
the promethian pistol is the most used gun and can be played like a power weapon
there is no reason to use the human pistol, and the plasma is only good for vehicles aside from the occasion quick charge up and beat down
you can take out someone with a shotgun any day -
there are pretty much a minimum # of game types
plus team snipers, grifball, and extraction come and go
what about all the VIP games, all the CTF variations, King of the Hill, Flood (infection) variations, tower of power, shotty snipers, team rockets, juggernaut, team doubles, regular ffa, swords, ect.
hell they could have payed attention to what people were playing on halo 2 and 3 with custom games like President, Cops n Robbers, Troy, even Michael Myers
Also Forge was bombed again, there’s no “foundry” map in Halo 4 where you can scrap everything and make something awesomely ridiculous like Katrina or Fat Boy digging map -
Ordinances are either awesome or dirt
Overshield is pointless in most cases and depletes as if it was actually useful full
speed boost is good with specific weapons
grenades… hahahaha
special weapons disappear after dropped ridiculously quick compared to regular weapons -
the emblems are impossible to see along with the updates ingame on the left side (who killed who)
its either too small or behind the player’s spartan, whats the point? -
there is no point to ingame points/how many kills you get
if you’re on the top of the leader board and win the game, congrats heres the max points we can give you (as if we have to ration these Bananas) 2981
now i still think Halo 4 is still decent in most areas and has some smooth game play, but theres no way 343! could have seen all this and still be proud of what they made. Its very COD like (even though I can’t say I’m not a fan of MWs, Blops, and even COD3 was badass) but Halo was distinctive and different from those games by being futuristic with different weapons, Health/shielding, and game play.
Over all I seriously wonder what Bungie thinks
