This game is unplayable to me now. Everybody complaining how bad things were post june 3rd. Things are worse now. Spam queening galore. This game has been reduced to nothing more then an arcade shooter. Power weapons, respawn times, and level changes. How long does it usually take for the devs to patch things? I have taken this game of the roster. Every weapon is a spam fast.
I keep reading that “they’re trying to make the game for the casual gamer”… i am the casual gamer and this new TU thing is just a flop. It is a completely different game now. I respect the fact that H4 has many different elements than previous titles but this is unbearable. I am not going on about everything I dislike but it has reached a point were i cannot tolerate it.
Power weapons every 2 minutes or Ordnance Drop, one or the other. What is the point of having weapon loadout now with how in depth the loadouts could be if power weapons are so readily available.
I want somebody to clear this up for me. Was the DMR really that overpowered? Look what the result was out of it. BR now is the only gun being used. Increased RoF for other guns and it’s spam fest. No dynamic to the weapons now. Just pick one and get the trigger finger ready for a workout. Why even put the DMR into a game then if everybody’s rearend is gonna get sore about it?
This TU to balance the DMR just made the whole package worse. Real easy solution for the DMR. Slow the rate of fire down not buff every other weapon. No weapon has a distinction to it now. How can other video games have so many different weapons, loadouts and characteristics while this game has a handful of weapons and they’re all the same. I am completely bored of this game.
How many more times can i say spam?
PS
The sound of the BR is completely annoying.
Best games ever for weapon customizing were things actual changed and affected the characteristics of how it played in MP. Ghost Recon Future Soldier, BFBC2, BF3. Many different weapons and they all have a role and do different things.
Have fun with this game, community. Let me know when things get figured out again. Hatemail, PM or comments all welcome.
I thought the new update was amazing. The starting weapons feel much more balanced now. I only play objective so I can’t comment on ordinance (which I always hated) but the game overall feels much more fast paced and fun.
The current Power Weapon and Vehicle spawn times are too fast, and I feel that the DMR should have been nerfed and a few tweaks to other weapons should have been made rather than everything being buffed.
As for Ordnance, don’t play game-types/modes with Personal Ordnance in them. Slayer Pro, CTF etc.
Finally, you seem upset that the DMR is no longer the “go-to” gun. Good. The problem is, in every class-based shooter you will always have one weapon that is statistically stronger than the others. Which is why old Halo worked so well, yes the BR was “OP” in Halo 2/3, but either everyone had one or no one did when you first spawned. Arena shooters can reduce imbalance since everyone starts equal regardless of play-time.
I personally don’t like the faster kill-times, but I can live with it. My main problem with fast kill-times is that descoping doesn’t exist, which means duels tend to end a lot faster than they did in Halo 2/3.
Weapon balancing is perfect IMO
The map updates however need work
There needs to be a reduction of power weapon spawn timers far too many power weapons in play at one time
Generally the weapon update was good, though BR should be an 12 bullet kill, not 11 (please don’t ‘network inconsistency’ me, 343i should have fixed it by now…) and LR ROF is too fast.
However the power weapon spawns is completely Yoink!, along with removing the scorpion on Exile (WHY???). Ordinance is still ridiculous, wouldn’t be too bad if you only got a minor advantage such as speed boost, OS, ‘small’ power weapons, etc
And dear lord, please fix the sticky loadouts, poeple just throwing nades and getting rewarded for it is not skill!
So funny! I see the light rifle and carbine used WAY more now from my opponents instead of ONLY the DMR. That says “success” like no other fix this game has had yet.
Light rifle ROF is NOT too fast. It is perfect now. BR is perfect. Carbine is perfect. DMR still annoys me but I am content. Now just don’t include weapons in Ordnance and this game is FINALLY a game that my friends and I can play longer than 30 minutes.
Oh wait, you have to time weapon drops? You have to fight for vehicle control instead of it being handed to you at the start of the match? balanced weapons are bad? Yep, this game got way worse.

I need to hire this guy for my overwinded posts. Right on dude. I will consult you next time i flame this update…have you played a game yet against 4 active camo snipers on Haven Infinity Slayer?
I totally hate how powerful the automatic weapons are. You can kill someone with an assault riffle with like half a clip ( don’t quote me I’m taking a guess since I refuse to use it) but its so heavily overpowered IMO. Halo 3 was perfect, you actually had to be accurate with the ar. The only way an ar should be good is to clean up kills or assist other players, not to completely destroy anything in its path. If they do That and take out Promethain vision and active camo being an armor ability this game would be headed in the right direction
