my 360 ate my h4. i have the money to replace it, but i dont think its worth it…
i used to play halo for the skill it took, but in halo 4, its so cheap you dont need skill. i guess i’ll just list my problems…
the assault rifle is overpowered. no question. its a noob weapon. regaurdless of its aim assist, it will always be easy to use due to its automatic nature. its range is simply way to high along with high damage. the power and range on this thing is simply too much. i understand that its a close quarters weapon, but halo has always been skill based. not class based. shall i die every time i come in colse range, so be it. but dont kill me at mid range!
plasma grenades. what a way to render skill redundant. now instead of aiming and strafing, just chuck a nade that you spawned with. it was a terrable idea to spawn with these.
boltshot. more like the bull sh!@. you know why…
active camo. this ability pushes campy behavior rather than stratigic map movement. it should be a power up. not a spawn.
DMR. big team slayer is all about camping. or ANY large map. the second you walk out of your “base” or “area” you get sniped. this thing needs more bloom.
not many power weapons. in halo 4 theres not a lot of POWERFUL weapons to be faught over. BUT there are PLENTY of UNBEATABLE weapons that win the fight every time. such as the saw. these things are wildly OVERPOWERED. there are plenty of guns like it. when you get in a 1v1 with them, you lose. its not a matter of skill. the fight was one sided. you didn’t have a chance. wasn’t even a fight as much as it was a SLAUGHTER.
jet pack. an advantage you spawn with. renders map movement and control useless.
ordanance. random. the game hands out unfair advantages at random. 'nuff said
plasma pistol. the last thing i remember of this game was a noob with a pioneer helmat “noob comboing” me with a melee before teabaging me. what a way to say -Yoink- SKILL. not to mention what it does to vehicle gameplay.
map diversity. one can only play exile or ragnarok so much! i play ctf mainly, and exile is all you play 90% of the time. not to mention that its a bad map. blue team gets a gouss hog at spawn, while red team gets NOTHING that blue team dosen’t. on a side note i’d like to say the gouss hog is ment for campain only. or if in mp, it should be treated as a tank and is ment to be placed in the MIDDLE of the map.
replay value. it took me 2-3 months to reach sr130. had reach scince day one. im only a general. the comendations are ok. but people constantly complain about the plasma pistol commendation. i dont blame them. theres just not much worth playing other than the fact that “its fun”. and trust me. my last few matches, were ANYTHING BUT FUN. or MOST of my matches period.
i think i missed something…
i guess the reason i just cant play this game is because theres so many ways to justify dying other that that guy was just BETTER than me. when i die in reach, i expect to get out dmr’d or multi teamed. in 4 i die from some camo noob with a boltshot. ANYONE can camp. but few can aim and strafe.
i dont think i can play this game anymore. its just too frustrating. i pray halo 5 is better. i really do. but for now, i have to settle for cod. I HATE COD! but if all my friends can adapt to it, why cant i. all my friends were die hard halo fans but quit for the reasons listed above. many say halo 4’s population issues were because of the replay value. but i think many of those people didn’t get bored, but simply rage quit.
im a competitive gamer. and i WILL admit it. in order for me to like a game, i have to be good at it. i was pertty good a reach 'twards the end of its life cycle. but in 4, the game favors scrubs. camping/ar charging is NOT skill. anyone can do that. i previous games these methods were THERE. but they were not as powerful.
bye till halo 5, 343. but for now:
RAGE QUIT.
