So I was playing for a few hours and it basicly felt like i was playing Reach 2.0.Between all the camping camo users with boltshots or snipe to jetpackers, and then theres all the promethean vison users.I understand they are there to be used but did 343i not learn from reach how much ppl hated camo and jetpack in Reach.But ther did get rid of Armor lock which we were all happy about til they gave ppl an ability to see through objects.Give your opinion if you think this game will end up like reach.
AA’s are meant to give people various advantages… The fact that your enemies get them too though… complete pain int he butt (slight sarcasm :P)
werd
I didn’t say I was mad just making a point that 4 might turn into reach which a lot of ppl hated
nope.
this game and reach dont even belong in the same sentance
sorry bud not even close h4>>reach
Frankly I think the complaints about camo and jetpack in Reach wasn’t as justified as many would like to believe.
343 said they like AA’s over equipment cause they often used equipment without knowing what it was, but that is the side effect of being a casual or old gamer. 99% of Halo 3 players wouldn’t have suffered from this problem after their first 5 games, but 343 decided to cater to casuals and not fans.
I know it’s your opinion, but are you sure you got the right copy? It has a bunch of returning elements, but it really doesn’t feel close to reach.

Casuals are fans too. Take that mindset and go elsewhere please. WE ALL love Halo. I have since Halo 2 when i jumped aboard…
Perhaps I worded it wrong its not the game that I think is turning into reach.Its the players I played against that made it feel like it was.
Play Slayer Pro.
Maybe I was just playing reach kids Idk.Its just annoying seeing the same stuff ppl did in reach in this game.
I think that halo 4 isn’t turning into reach, it’s worse. All the armor abilities have been nerfed to uselessness. The amount of aim assist in halo 4 is horrendous, (combined with the huge amount of bullet magnetism) which makes even the worst player good. The balance of the game was practically thrown out the window(reach had good balance generally). After playing halo 4, I finally realized why the MLG wasn’t going to have a presence in halo 4. I’ve already went back to reach and put halo 4 away, unless serious changes are made, I doubt that I will come back to it.

Core followers before casual in my books. Casuals only play games for cheap quick thrills, which COD offers heavily with a billion unlocks, easy lvl ups and simply gameplay, whereas fans look for more when they play and appreciate good games much, much more. Fans should have priority over casual players
The armor abilities were nerfed for a reason. It was breaking the halo triangle. Now armor abilities add to the game without noobifying the gameplay.

Haha, this is golden, this just shows 343 are a bunch of idiots. It takes one use to figure out what a piece of equipment does, just like it takes one use to figure out what an AA does. It’s not like an AA has a description in the loadout menu? Wow, this is so dumb

Oh so crouch walking around with active camo isn’t noob? Nor is being able to see people through walls? Right.
Equipment was lame as hell. I don’t see how anyone could possibly think AAs aren’t a more refined version of equipment.
Oh and I guess being able to throw a regen field/bubble shield down in Halo 3 and camping your flag it is “totally pro” since it’s not an AA…
This community sucks sometimes I swear.
halo 4 is bad and we should feel bad
I swear, are we all playing the same game? Doesn’t seem like it.
Though Complex and that Boltshot glitch really need to be fixed. Fix Ammo mod to only affect spawn weapons and not give you 8 Binary Rifle shots or 150 percent charge for the Splaser would make this game more balanced IMO.
Oh and yeah, the whole DMR vs BR thing to. Need some tweaking to make the guns more even. Carbine doesn’t seem that useful even with fast ROF.
Beyond those issues, i am enjoying Halo 4 and it’s not exactly fair to compare Halo 4 to Reach (regardless of the fact that it may or may not be the better game) because Reach had two years worth up updates. TWO. T.W.O. H4 only has had one update. ONE. O.N.E. Rome wasn’t built in a day you know (as cliche as that sounds, it is fitting here) and Halo 2/3 weren’t exactly perfect at launch.
