I gave Halo 4 a shot

Games Other Halo

I rented this game and have been playing since Wednesday. It was fun at first but got boring rather fast. After Reach came out I pretty much decided to never buy another halo game but then I heard that they were bringing back the 1-50 ranking system so I decided to give it a shot. There is literally nothing to really do in this game except play games and get infinite amounts of experience to level up and unlock…nothing. Heres a few concerns that I noticed with this game.

-Why would we have to unlock emblems? They are pointless in this game, and should just be removed. OR we could have the option to see emblems instead of tags!

-We need a spawn clock for all gamestypes! It should be universally the same time. Slayer game types are just stupid now.

-Vehicles suck…mainly because of plasma pistol. Please add the Gauss cannon warthog to Ragnorak (only makes sense since you added the Mantis).

-I’m really not a fan of joining a losing match. I would like to start every game fresh.

-I have been playing team slayer pro and I really don’t like how it tells me that the sniper is there and that it does not spawn after the initial start(unless randomly). With that said it can make a difference in the victory if you spawn into an already begun match where both snipers are already taken.

-Why are we told which direction we are being shot from?

-Why does it say where the flag carrier is?

-Why are there so many frigging weapons, many of which are one shot kills!

-Where is double team, and big team CTF!??

-Why do I feel like I die really fast?

-Why do we only get one grenade? really? One grenade is good for 1 fight, and if you win and see another guy coming at you, well you stand no chance as your shields are most likely gone and you die.

-I want to use the BR but the DMR is just so much easier to chill and just mow down everyone accross the map.

-The more this game relates to Halo 2, the happier I will be.

-Hurry up with that 1-50 ranking system! I could care less about playing a countless number of games to unlock a pointless piece of armor or emblem background. At least allow unlockable weapon skins but none of this nonsense that gives you an advantage over someone else because you’ve played 10 million more games.

-I don’t understand the whole emblem unlocking thing either. Remove them all together? Hell no. All should be available from the start. And where is my Halo 3/Reach Phoenix?

-This appears to be an issue with a number of players. Remember, you have the option to “repent” for you death by not respawning right away at your choice. Other than that, it’s up for debate.

-Yes, vehicles are way too easy to get rid of. Warthogs will rarely last more than 20 seconds from matches I’ve played. Everyone has the chance to drop in Spartan Lasers, which is nice because it becomes a gamble when using a vehicle and forces you to actually drive strategically. A buff would be nice.

-I understand the frustration of joining a losing match, but I’d rather have the chance to join any match and help my team out than be forced to deal with quitting players and an uneven team fight. That’s just me though.

-Not sure on this one. It’s more of a beacon, so players know where to go for the weapons they want. It can be annoying to still see the beacon yet have no weapon there.

-So you know where to look, where to defend from, and where to shoot back at.

-So we know who to kill and where he’s at.

-Good question. Most of these weapons have drawbacks to them, some more obvious and potent than others. Binary rifle makes you target #1 when people see you scope in, the Incinerator is pretty visible and again, makes you a target when seen. The Sticky Detonator has limited range and you gotta make sure you are somewhat close to your target when in the open. The Boltshot? It’s only useful close range, otherwise it’s a waste of a weapon in a fight.

-Good question as well. I hope they add these and more playlists as permanent additions, as all I hear is the word “rotation” and I don’t really like that.

-Headshots headshots headshots. At least it’s not nearly as fast as like BO2 (no hate, just an observation). Here you have a fighting chance, just be wary of where you are and what you do.

-Grenades are meant more to dig out campers, psych out incoming enemies or deal with clusters of enemies. Besides, I think you only receive one grenade if you choose the Promethean one.

-This is also a present issue. The DMR is pretty much superior to the BR. What needs to be done, if anything, is still up for debate as well.

-No comment

-The more dedicated you are and the more time you put in, means you should receive something. Nothing totally game changing, but something. Besides, if everything was available at the start, what incentive would there be to level up? Again, just an opinion.
