What if… Frank O’Connor at 343 Industries called you personally, and said “aight lil homie, we at 343 are gonna let you be the lucky person to tell us to add ONE anything to our game, halo 4. What’ll it be?”
What would be the one thing you would ask 343 to add to halo 4?
Just be straight forward.
> Balanced MP. Functioning MM. Replayability. S2 of Spartan Ops.
Very original.
Let’s see, balanced MP… Now it has it, check.
Functioning MM… Halo 4 has been working since day one… Check.
Replayability… I’ve been playing halo 4 since day one, as a matter of fact I was just playing literally all day. Check.
Season 2 of spartan ops… That would be pretty cool… Uncheck.

No it’s not.
Maybe if CSR functioned as intended instead of throwing me in lobbies with 10s and 40s.
Cute. I wonder if you typed that with a straight face.

CSR is a ranking system, and it does just fine with ranking players. Your beef is with the matchmaking system, which makes matches.

Actually the problem lies entirely with the player count. Which is low because of how UNBALANCED, UNREPLAYABLE, and UNFUNCTIONAL the game is.
Not that it’s the worst in the series. Reach was far worse off. But most of Halo’s demographic that’s now sitting on Halo 3/not playing Halo anymore whatsoever are so disappointed that we put up with Reach for 2 years, PREACHING all over forums that we need the basic Halo formula back, and wound up with Halo 2, that they’re, well, sitting on Halo 3/not playing Halo anymore.
Me personally? I’m content with Halo 4 for what it is. It took Halo Reach, which was an absolutely terrible game. And it improved it to the point where it could make it’s own fun franchise… But it won’t be incredibly popular like CoD or Halo in their primes. So I’ll play it occasionally. But it does NOT belong in the Halo franchise, at least not as a main numbered game. This game-style could get away with beinga part of a spinoff series in my books. Say, turning Halo Reach/4 gameplay into the continuing ODST series?
Regardless, I’ll play Halo 4 on occasion, but I will NEVER touch Reach MM again. And will spend more of my time playing Halo in Halo 3.
