Halo 4: The good, the bad, and the ugly

As ive stated, I really like this game. It is a step in the right direction. Here are the things I like/dislike thus far:

Like:

*Graphics - They are really improved and much better than reach
*Loadouts - I like the idea and now I no longer have to start with an AR:)
*Spawn/kill Cam - This is much better than me just looking at a loading screen and is good for those looking at what they did wrong to die
*Rank - glad its coming, wish it was already in place though. Seriously get this into the game before the holidays even though I know you said ‘early next year’.
*Scoring - i like getting points for everything I do. I just do not understand what they mean (see below).
*People joining game when someone quits - thank you for this.
*instant spawn - thank you for this too
*AR+BR - I think both of these are great. Maybe they need some tweaks but overall really good.

Dislike:

*No BR+AR start. This makes it so I never have an AR for the most part. While I do not like starting with AR as main weapon, it was nice as 2nd weapon. Now I just never use pistol.
*User interface - Hire someone who specializes in HCI please. This should be a no brainer. The menus and interface makes no sense. As a user I have no idea what is going on and it took me a while to figure out. This will turn off new people.
*Scoring - again I like scoring but hire an HCI person. The numbers do not make sense.
*Game types - need a sniper/swat gametype. I am sure these are coming but get the TU sooner than later
*weapon spawns - seem random and just does not make sense. Some gametypes it seems like the sniper/rocket launcher are there in the beginning and never spawn again.
*Maps - while I like the maps the game has, give us some of the older maps that we all liked from H2, H3, and Reach.
*All caps names and text - get rid of the all caps. No ones name makes any sense that way
*Campaign - No bandana skull. Honestly I played CE several extra times just because this skull made it fun. Just maybe make it hard to get, like you have to beat on legendary first or something. But please add this in if possible.
*Saving - Allow better saving in campaign. Some legendary levels are taking me a while and I do not have all day to redo things if I have to shut the game off.

Just going to add onto the dislikes here since you just about covered all the likes

Dislike:
-Can’t do spartan ops when disconnected and/or not connected to halo 4 servers or don’t have XBL gold.
-Spartan Ops although fun is repetitive currently could’ve added firefight as well.
-No XP from doing campaign and kills in campaign don’t give any commendations.
-Can’t join a friend in mid-match on campaign or Spartan Ops.

all in all, it’s a decent start for 343

Adding my list…

We need more maps - i feel like i am playing the same few over and over. And maps that are more creative with cool themes/colors. I loved how halo 3’s guardian had the green/blue them but then pit was grey/yellow.

more divisions in game types - for instance social and ranked so you could choose what you want…then maybe even an everything goes gametype where trueskill was not calculated at all so i could potentially be playing against pros or brand new people.
