> A majority of the Halo community knows and understands that Halo 4 fails in comparison to the quality of past Halo games (minus Halo Reach). IF you disagree then I am going to be completely honest with you right now because it needs to be said.
What makes a game exciting for one person is not going to be necessarily true to someone else. For those who enjoyed Reach, it was a great game. For those who enjoyed Halo 3, it was a great game. It is no different with Halo 4. It is purely opinion-based.
> If you believe that Halo 4 is one of the better Halo games ever made then you are either A) New to the Halo series and thus could not enjoy the previous games due to being a gamer in an era where FPS games are very much a disgrace to what the once were.
I will never understand why people can’t see the obvious truth when it comes to making points like you just did.
You want your opinion to be heard, respected, and treated equally with others opinions, otherwise you wouldn’t make the post, but you willingly insult them to the point your opinion and whatever points you may have been able to make is quickly discarded.
For the record, I’ve been through over ten gamertags since I started with CE LAN and I’ve enjoyed every Halo game to date because each one has offered something different from all others including ODST and Wars. Each game has modified and allowed me to rediscover why Halo is such a unique franchise and you know what? That’s why I keep playing them.
Could they be better? Yeah. But that is also just my opinion based on what I want.
> B) Play the game on a casual basis as in if you’re bored or just feel like playing Halo, yet not strongly dedicated to Halo in any way shape or form.
The personal reasons for why someone plays or enjoys Halo is not for you to strike at. I can tell your youthful in mind, so I’ll just give you this advice: your sense of entitlement is only as good as your ability to respect any other persons’ opinion whether you like them or not.
> C) You have been around past Halo’s, but to be honest you weren’t the best at those games nor did you ever understand what made games such as Halo CE and Halo 2 so good (example: The higher amount of skill required to be good at those games and the more even playing field without slow kill times, slow movement speed, and ridiculous random elements such as AAs that ruined what Halo was)
He he he…
Thanks for the chuckle. To be honest, any persons skill level speaks for themselves. Not saying I’m good because the fact is, if you really want to find out how good I am and can be, you’ll step into a match with me and find out just why I can make things work where others on these forums post how impossible it seems.
> Now on to the part where I’m confused.
>
> Why do people keep having this attitude saying “It’s only been 2 months” or “Just give it time”
anything, historically speaking, that has been built into something unique for people has taken time. No way to get around that, and gaming is no different.
> The Halo community has waited for YEARS for Halo to come back to what it once was, we have voiced our complaints and our wishes for YEARS and they’ve fallen on deaf ears time and time again. Sure Bungie was before, but now it’s 343i and in my honest opinion they are doing much worse.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this sense of entitlement, that players feel they built up this franchise, needs to be harnessed. You and others did not build up anything. The current situations involving this is the complaints over the years is a specific criteria based on a single community or entity experience where the diversity present in both gamers across the board as well as the Halo community must always take a higher precedence then the individual community concerns.
> They promised Halo was going back to its roots with Halo 4, they lied.
Check your stats and quotes, they never promised Halo was going to revert back to its roots.
> Now they continue to make changes that nobody seems to want. Since when did people want Team Snipers removed? People asked for a regular FFA and we got Throwback FFA? If the least played gametype gets removed every week then why is Crimson DLC still there?
Crimson DLC has achievements tied to it. That will be staying permanently. the achievements are very specific to be done in matchmaking. This prevents the ability for even custom games to get them done. That playlist now must remain as a permanent playlist. Failure to do so is doing a greater disservice then I care to think about.
As for the changes, you progress things forward, not backward. And when moving forward, you have to consider far too many possibilities just from the human element alone.
> Then we have the Title Update coming up. Why cant you just tell everyone exactly what you guys did wrong and tell us how and what you’re fixing? This whole keeping to the background and not communicating with the community is really hurting you guys.
Firstly, what they are fixing has already been explained from B.S. Angel. they don’t want people abusing the potential glitches any more then they already are.
> As for people who think Halo 4 isn’t dying, being 100k or lower for a population is dying for a big AAA title.
Thanks for your opinion.
> Get that through your head. Sure its number 2 on the list of most played games, but thats only because its only other competition is Call of Duty, which is blowing it out of the water right now in terms of population, even MW3 is pretty damn close to it as well as older CoD games.
Using that argument has proven, over the course of my 1 year and half on these forums, to be more counterproductive then productive. Something to consider.
> Open you’re eyes people. We deserve answers, we deserve a voice to be spoken to us.
>
> Enough making excuses to defend 343i or to defend Halo 4 and actually try and get answers for our game.
‘Our’ game. Thanks for honestly putting your thoughts down, but you have this situation mixed up and backwards. Our game is only the experience we forge for ourselves within the system.
Whether that is being the greatest competitive player in the system to just enjoying the layouts and abilities we can utilize.
We do not help build this game, we do not do the research into the Halo community to figure out what everyone wants, etc…
