Hang on to dem' tights

All I have to say is hang on to those tights. Halo hasn’t been destroyed, it’s been changed. Some of us may not like that, and there are parts of it that even the most “supportive” of us don’t like. But when have we ever ALL liked a halo game (except for CE)… people even had issues with H2. If you get yourselves into the mindset that halo’s death is unavoidable, you are only contributing to the fall.

Yes there are bugs, but what do you expect 343 to patch them all in one day? 343 has patched bugs on a weekly basis and they will continue to do so, these things don’t happen instantaneously… give them a while and things will be patched. As for gameplay elements that you want back, well, halo has changed for better or worse and if you love it as much as you profess you will learn to live with it or leave. I personally have liked almost every halo game since CE, and 4 is no exception.

people have been posting doomsday threads about new big IP’s that are going to “crush” halo, we have seen this before in the form of COD, GOW, BF3, and others; yet halo still stands. It will be just another big IP (Black Tusk’s I am referencing) it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of halo, new gamers join the mix daily.

IF YOUR SHORT ON TIME ONLY READ THIS/ The only one who can make this truly the end of halo is each and every one of you. Don’t blame others, you will continue with halo or watch it die, the choice is yours. You can either be patient or just fess up to not being as possessed with the series anymore and go play another series, it is my belief that others will continue on in your stead/replace you while 343 improves on everything moving forward. If your going to stay to post ideas, and post needed bug patches then be my guest. But quit flaming and whining about change. It’s part of life, every aspect of life in fact, deal with it. If you don’t think halo will die even with you here, then stay and in a few years time we will see what happens.

Feel free to add your comments, no flaming please. Either support or disagree with class. But I hope some of you may see sense in this if you understand any of what goes in to making a game like this work.

You do realize that people have been using the whole “Be patient it will get better” mindset since Halo 3 and it has never gotten better?

Halo 2 Post Patch was the only time they truly “Fixed” a Halo game

Yes I am well aware of that fact. However, not all of us were apparently put of by some of the other halos as most of the people on here. Bug patches have been “fixed” in every game.

The things you are referring to as not “fixed” are debatable in whether or not they even needed to be fixed. ie) Anything not a bug is debatable depending on personal opinion.

So in all technicality every halo game has been “fixed” to an extent.

Funny how everyone is running on hope for this game.

There is only a fine line between hope and change. But that is besides the point. Another point to consider, there are people who think (not entirely my opinion but fairly close) that there isn’t really a whole lot to fix in Halo 4 apart from bugs and glitches. Some people actually like the gameplay mechanic… and that population is sizable. Therefore I doubt halo will “die”.

Learn to enjoy what was added instead of gripe about what is now in the past. Halo 2 repeatedly re-skinned would die quite quickly. It wasn’t designed to be re-skinned like COD was. If that was all that happened the gameplay mechanics would be far outdated by now.

I would almost like that reskin idea actually, but I realize the noneffectivity of it in relation to the majority of a modern gaming audience. And so did 343, once again it comes back to adaptation and recruitment of new fans, not hope.
