343 Industries, I know stuff seems rough right now, there’s a lot riding on you, but you must understand, the Halo community is a Family, we fight like a family, we have fun like a family, we’ll rebel like a family, and we’ll stand together like a family.
There’s still time, to save this family from a crysis. We just need you to trust the family, as we wouldn’t do anything to destroy what Halo is. Family comes first after all.
Yeah 343 kind of feels like that outsider who comes in, whether it be a new girlfriend/boyfriend, and has done one thing making half the ‘family’ fight with the other half all the mean while seating in the shadows and playing the “I thought it was the right thing to do”
343 need to acknowledge that the community isn’t happy. Bungie was great at getting back to the fans.
343…you guys are -Yoinking!- -Yoink- when it comes to feedback and speaking to your fans. Sure you’re great at doing campaigns and copying other games, but this isn’t another FPS, this is Halo, it’s a fine balance of having fun with your mates as well as wanting to win. The trilogy had it, Reach had it for a bit, 4 seems to have fizzled out for most people though. Going into a match isn’t to win, it’s to grind the XP to level up in my opinion.
God I miss the days of Halo 2 and 3 when online gaming was simple, no unlocks, no grinding, no terrible level designs and poor performance with the network and UI.
The more I think about it, the more I’m gob smacked at how so many wrong decisions were made. You had the muliplayer guys who made 2/3 so great at CA, you have the guys that made the trilogy so great at 343…yet they all dropped the ball on so many things.
EDIT: Please for the love of god take those links down, that -Yoink- is not welcome on this forum.
Yes, there are some problems with the game, but people are so stupid thinking that the changes they want will happen the next day. Give it some time.

And cursing them out is going to make them respond in a mature way…how?

I know, it’s childish and pathetic, but sometimes swearing is a means to express how urgent something is.

It probably won’t. But, plenty of people have been mature on here in their complaints, and still gotten nowhere. You’d expect it to degrade to cursing.

Well I’m still hoping for some fixes/updates to the game. Not just for multiplayer, but for the Filebrowser, custom games and theater mode. With 343i continuing to work on Spartan OPs episodes and the upcoming map pack, all I can do is hope that they’ll come out with a bulletin to address some of the issues/upcoming fixes/updates to the game (besides just giving us a single playlist to playthrough the week in).
Don’t give me an ETA, just give notice that “hey we know such and such doesn’t work properly, and we are working on it” or “were working on some new additions but haven’t any more info to give”, just something. The filebrowser was a huge part of why I like Reach and I loved going through theater mode and taking screenshots of the campaign (being characters, enemies or scenery, I would sink hours in trying to find the perfect shot).
Halo 3 now seemed so much simplier. I just really hope that those awesome moments I’ve had with Halo 3, I could do the same with in Halo 4. Time will tell.

100% this.
This is exactly what everyone wants really, the only thing the Halo community is all following. We just need some intel saying that they are looking into it and realising that the choices they made were terrible. We don’t need a date for when it comes, but we do need them to acknowledge us!
We want Halo, not Halo/COD/Battlefront.
This is my philosophy behind a game’s sequel. If you strip the new features you wish to add to the game, that be dynamic lighting, new weapons, new maps, new campaign, whatever, are you left with the previous one in the series?
Following that, Halo 4 doesn’t pick from where Halo 3 did. They Did something substantial. They changed the CORE mechanics of the game. Recoil, flinch, locked zoom. Perma sprint. These are all thing that in theory would be fine, in a new IP or a branch off the Halo games, not the direct sequel to a pre-existing trilogy with a pre-existing fanbase
