There were things in Reach and H3 I liked that are gone.
No Hornet or Falcon? Whats up with that? No flying Spartan vehicles. Revenants were cool too. a favorite from Reach. None of them anymore.
Forgeworld was great. lots of different areas to build plus allot of room for racing maps. No forgemaps in H4 come even close to the room.
Screenshots online. None so far.I like to copy them and share with friend on Facebook. Also something seems to be messed up in the theater mode. You got to go into another menu to access the recent video, then back out and go to theater
I’m sure it’s coming but so far no Grifbal playlist
Loved invasion and Firefight. Spartan Ops is OK but doesn’t replace it. Not by a long shot.
I just started in H4 so I don’t know if its coming but the folks that have more time then I on the game haven’t worn it yet. I miss my Viking with flame background emblem I had in H3, ODST, and Reach.
I liked being an Elite sometimes. No More of that.
I liked Emile’s skull carved helmet and was hoping it would return. So far nothing which brings me to the next one.
The new helmets look way too alien. I don’t get a Halo feel from them.
In reach DLC was shared on the Device. So far no. I hope the newer maps are cuz I can barely afford to keep gaming. nevermind buy maps for my son too.

I don’t think file share is working yet.
Its coming soon
Maps will be shared for everyone on the console, just in game content like helmets are gamertag locked.
Plus team work is dead. No one seems to communicate which is not the games fault. But even so. Some of the ways you can track your other team mates are gone. The Red X that tells you they died is gone and the arrow that points out where your spartan is hearing the gunfire is gone. Also your team labels used to turn yellow if they were ingaged. Having it on the tracker isn’t the best either cuz they may be out of range. These tools from the last game helped the teamwork aspect even if the rest of your team doesn’t play well with others or have a mic.
Wow, am I really the only person that’s said no so far?
Quite frankly, Halo 4 is essentially a different game, it’s an evolution. Sure, there are thing’s missing from Halo 3 and Reach, not going to dispute that. But simply put, when/if I get bored of the multi-player in this one and yearn for the Halo of old… I’ll simply take out the Halo 4 disk and put the Halo 3/Reach disk back in.

I would have said no too, but I miss forge world.
all the maps are so small and restrictive, you cant forge anything on it.
also some weapons are absolutely useless (suppressor (you’re better off with an AR), plasma pistol (unless you charge&melee), concussion rifle) or too strong (that-one-weapon, you know which I mean)
OP I agree with 2,5,7
I also wish they had put back my favorite emblem

This.
I like the way the game has gone. As always though, everyone on the Halo boards feel they’re over entitled and know best.
Both Halo: Reach and Halo 3 are still supported on Xbox Live. You are welcome to continue playing them if you prefer those games instead of Halo 4.
Sure, some things have been changed and/or removed, but I like the overall feel of Halo 4; it’s new and fresh yet familiar. If I get bored, I’ll go play one of the other games. They still exist, and are still great games, and I encourage you to do the same if you don’t like this one…
Sure. I’ll just ignore that I paid for Halo 4 and got a game that has stepped back a few steps in the wrong direction from those previous games. Halo 4 is a good game but the multiplayer aspect is missing some things. And for the most part lacks improvement in multiplayer and forge. The previous games did improve with feedback. So I’m doing my part to save the mission. I I love the older games but I don’t want to step back. I want to see the game and gameplay move forward. This games problems and major features like fileshare not up and running shows a rush to release. This game was not ready for primetime and that reflects poorly on the new developers and makes the absence of Bungie’s commitment to excellence apparent. Certainly not a seamless continuation of franchise.
Now you done it. I wasn’t gonna be so harsh but I don’t do well with condescending responses
No Hornet or Falcon?
No need. They never really fit into multiplayer imo. Hornet was overpowered and Falcon was slow and unwieldy, it was basically a moving target that. Their place in campaign is filled by the Pelican, which I think is a step up.
Forgeworld.
I’ve not tried Forge yet but I think the different environments is a good substitute.
Screenshots online.
Not something that concerns me so no opinion really.
I’m sure it’s coming but so far no Grifbal playlist
Confirmed to be coming.
Loved invasion and Firefight.
I do miss Firfight.
I just started in H4 so I don’t know if its coming but the folks that have more time then I on the game haven’t worn it yet. I miss my Viking with flame background emblem I had in H3, ODST, and Reach.
That’s really a personal issue.
I liked being an Elite sometimes. No More of that.
I miss it too, though somehow I prefer not having them then what we had in Reach.
I liked Emile’s skull carved helmet and was hoping it would return.
I think it’s something that should stay unique to him.
The new helmets look way too alien. I don’t get a Halo feel from them.
I like them. I prefer them over the Reach ones, not as good as Halo 3’s though. I do think there should be a few more traditional designs but overall I think they suit the game.
In reach DLC was shared on the Device.
This is an error you should post in the issues thread. The user guidelines for the DLC states that it is to be used by all accounts on the console.
I really have no idea what 343i were thinking with that. I hope they get bought in as DLC.
Once again, 343i are idiots for not doing that.
Once again dumb decision, but I think they are sorting it out.
It’s coming in a couple of weeks.
Invasion was great, shame it didn’t come back.
Once again another stupid decision on 343i’s part. Why they didn’t allow the old emblems to be unlocked at the beginning and have their newer more complex ones as unlocks and rewards is beyond me.
Elites were only good for Invasion.
The skull is back in.
Helmets look dumb
Map packs will be able to be used by other accounts on the same console. the only thing that can’t are armours and Avatar stuff.
> 1. No Hornet or Falcon?
> No need. They never really fit into multiplayer imo. Hornet was overpowered and Falcon was slow and unwieldy, it was basically a moving target that. Their place in campaign is filled by the Pelican, which I think is a step up.
They did fit into multiplayer in my opinion.
Hornet never was overpowered if you work together.
One plasma pistol shot would take it to the ground, one spartan laser shot and its down to. In fact, even a banshee can make short work of the hornet.
Falcon was nice but a bad replacement for the hornet.
Fun game types from Halo 3’s Action Sack playlist. (Reach’s Action Sack games weren’t as good as those from Halo 3.)
Forgeworld
Saying “you can still play those games” is a copout. There are some nice things in Halo 4. It’s not a complete step backward. The problem is that overall, in my opinion, it’s not a step forward, which I believe it should have been.
I think of video games the way I think of other software. If I buy a new version of software I’ve used and loved before, I expect it to be a noticeable improvement over the previous version. I assume a few less popular features will have been dropped, but overall I expect the new version to be clearly better overall. Overall I don’t see that in Halo 4.
People will, of course, have different takes on this because different people gravitate to different parts of the game. If you’re a Slayer/BTB guy you’re going to like H4 more than fans of Firefight and Action Sack. If you didn’t use Forge you won’t miss Forgeworld.
“7. I liked being an Elite sometimes. No More of that.”
On the other hand, Elites in Reach looked cool. In Halo 4 they look dull and ugly and the don’t evade. The Covenant in Halo 4 are a real step down from Covenant in previous Halo games in my opinion: uninteresting in appearance or behavior.
“4. I’m sure it’s coming but so far no Grifbal playlist”
This one is a mystery to me. The game has a great Grifball court and the game type seems really cool as well (you can play it as a custom game), but for some reason they apparently decided to not offer it in MM. Seems kind of dumb to me.

The maps as the are don’t really provide a good sandbox for multiple flying vehicles. Plus the need for a UNSC air-vehicle is not needed.
I do miss Forge world though, so many possibilities.
3,4. I’m sure these options will be working after they are fixed.
Invasion was okay and all Firefight did was lag online, even with the best connections. Spartan Ops may be short, but it has more of a purpose than FF.
There a lot of fan-favs that are missing with the icons. Like the Phoenix, many of these were all in a previous build.
Elites were too inconsistent with the hit-boxes. Glad they are gone.
I do miss the Hornet/Falcon and Firefight the most. Its kinda sad without them, I was kinda hoping Halo 4 would be the have every form of vehicle/weapon Halo game. At least for Customs/Forge. I’d love to have the Brute stuff, the Plasma Rifle, the Revenant and other vehicles that weren’t in the game just to have them all included.
