So it’s clear to see that not everyone is too pleased with Halo 4.
I think in order for this game to be exciting to play and watch 343i needs to change and implement a few things:
-Change the color of player indicators when they are getting hit or when they are shooting (Red for when hurt) (Yellow when shooting)
The current colors make it very hard to tell what your teammates are doing.
-Bring back the red “X” when someone dies
-Take away flinch when scoped in, there is no flinch when scoped out, so why only have it scoped in?
-Take away join in progress. This might be the dumbest thing I have witnessed in Halo 4. I don’t want to start a game that has 2 other players and it’s half way through the game. I start matchmaking to “start” a game not to come into one half way through. It sucks to start a game where the power weapons have already been picked up. At least have an option to turn on to where you will only get matched up with a party that hasn’t started the game.
-Take away instant spawn. There is nothing “Pro” about instant spawn in slayer pro
-Add the option to toggle sprint, or remove it completely
-Remove bloom from DMR
-Assasination animation: They either need to add an option to turn it off or implement a new system where you Hold to animate, let go to instant kill.
-After you vote you can’t back out of a game. This sucks if you are out numbered or are the only one left in the game.
-Add objective game types into a playlist that also has slayer.
-can’t walk and press select (select makes you stop walking)
-Of course better maps
There are plenty of other little things that others will have but I feel like these are some core mechanics the other halo’s had that this one does not. Feel free to comment on what you agree with or disagree with.

Made them highlights, also a title update isn’t going to make this anymore fun since the groundworks are already down.

Thats the chance you are taking for going for an assassination rather than a beat down. There is even a medal for stopping an assassination in progress. If you don’t want to take the chance of getting caught in the act, don’t assassinate, just kill.

You realize it just goes right into the animation even if you just tap the melee button. I’ve hit enemies in the back many times only wanting to beat them down but ending up in a stupid assassination, or them walking it off like it never happened. Thanks to 343!

It makes for faster game play in the slayer matches which I think is fine. None of the objective games allow for an instant respawn so its only instant in the slayer game types which are supposed to be faster paced.</mark>

You are just pressing the melee button too hard… this has never happened to me ever. tap for melee and hold for assassination. That’s how it works. Maybe your controller is broken, or you mash the buttons too hard.
Agree with OP’s opinion except for objective game types being added to slayer. I like that objective games are segregated. I hate them and would normally quit out of an objective game in Reach.
