First off, I was underwhelmed with the quality of this title compared to the products that have been released by other studios. On top of that, it seems that they have no interest in creating a game that is fun to play, just one that changes a lot. Flood was a great style of play in multi-player. However, then they created Hivemind, a game that is obviously designed for people who can’t play flood successfully and were getting frustrated that they couldn’t win as defenders. Well, that’s the whole point, so if you don’t like it, don’t play flood. So now we have to vote with people on the same screen for two game types that are effectively opposites. My friends and I attempted to be patient and wait for them to see the error of their ways and either split the two games into separate groups or remove Hivemind, all-together. As I mentioned, they don’t have interest in what clients want, so this didn’t happen. What did happen is that they created a new version called Last Stand and dropped that into the Flood section, as well. This version not only includes all of the worst parts of Hivemind, it now makes it next to impossible for the flood to win. If I wanted a stand-off where no one moved I can go play paintball with my prepubescent nieces and nephews.
As they have never before accepting input or criticism, I am sure this will land on deaf ears. If anyone would like to join me in sending a message, however, I will be waiting 1 month and then, if same attempt is not made to rectify this situation, I will be selling Halo 4 to a far-off land and I will seriously consider whether to purchase another game that 343 Studios is involved with in the future. By the way, what other company in the tech world can exist without a customer feedback email address? This is yet another way that 343 demonstrates their lack of respect and general disinterest in their clients.
