Is it me or is 99% of the Halo community mad

Games Other Halo

It seems like everyone is pissed off. First no ranks. The small amount of maps which make the game really boring. And now the lack of play-lists to make it even more boring. Not to mention the random power weapon drops and sniper being a weapon that is dropped once a game.

Now all we hear is that play-lists are being cycled to see which ones stay and which ones leave. Has 343 seen black ops 2? I know these games can’t compare but they seriously need to take a look and start taking ideas from them. They have a ton of maps, ranks, and the abundance of play-lists.

Maybe that is why they have such a big fan base. There is a game type out there for everyone…

It seems like 343 is doing everything to try and make this game successful but listen to us. We are the ones who know how to make this game become what it used to be…

I don’t think its just the halo community. Every where I go, majority of the people are pissed off.

If its my fault world, My bad!

nah, just you bro.

Some are trolls, but many have legitimate complaints. I love Halo 4, but it has some big flaws that need to be fixed: most notably Custom Games.

The Halo community is always mad and its really annoying. I havent seen the Halo crew satisfied ever! Play the game and you will get better. I was getting my -Yoink- kicked the first 5 days now I know how to play this game and its a lot of fun. 343 is all good in my book.

I have yet to see one person play custom games in halo 4… in halo 2 and 3 i used to play them all the time… Custom games is a huge disappointment.

When Bungie shut down the Halo forums, all of their assorted detritus and refuse landed here. That’s why there’s so much whining.

That’, and it’s in a gamer’s nature to whine, I think.

I pwn kids all the time. Even now with all the flaws. But it still doesn’t explain why 5 years of work and all we see is good graphics…

fish swim, birds fly, gamers whine.

sounds right to me.

I dont like CoD at all, but i went an looked at the forums on their BO2 site and its just as bad there as halo, maybe even worse. I wanted to see if it was just us. So if you think about it, the two top games out right now are perfect because each has problems.

BTW, i dont think Halo 4 has any flaws, i love this game so much.

I ain’t even mad.

I see where you’re coming from but 99%? Not even close. Not even the majority of players are displeased. I doubt even a third of them. The people you are hearing - the loudmouthed children who whine and criticize without offering solutions or behaving constructively - are not part of the dedicated community in most peoples’ eyes.

Back in the Halo 3 days and even last year with Reach, these people were the ones who were listened to because they were the only ones talking. Mostly everyone else was sick and tired of addressing ignorance or just plain stupidity, and it became a lose-lose situation. Drown out the noise or give them a reality check, whatever you have to do, but I personally I don’t want to see that happen with this game.

As if 99% of the halo community posts on these forums. halo 4 is great

Indeed it is. The fact that we can’t even place weapons on the map regularly is fricking ridiculous! Basic stuff… and it’s broken. Plus, we can’t recreate a lot of the old Infection Games that we use to love, because the Flood can only wield the claw. We need Infection back, and a load of other options that are missing from the game.

LOL I am the 1%!

15% - People who legitimately find flaws with Halo 4 and express these concerns in a reasonable fashion
69% - Trolls
15% - 12yr olds

Huh…

-Maps are unbalanced (ex: Exile, Vortex).
-Spawn system is terrible.
-Playlists and gametypes are both limited in custom and MM.
-Many custom options are gone, common sense options don’t exist.
-Forge missing fine editing and zoom, plus other limiting issues.
-Various glitches in maps, and gametypes.
-MM doesn’t properly balance teams.
-Missing connection options for MM (ex: Connection strength, Local, and JiP options)
-Ordinance drops creating unbalanced gameplay.
-Challenges are not well thought out. (ex: 18 regicides in a single match)
-Spartan Ops are non-downloadable.
-Lack of reward for objective gameplay, or lack of punishment for those that avoid objectives.
-Lack of communication on the part of 343 and Microsoft.

…and so on, and so forth.

Some solutions in order:
1.
Fiddle with Exile and Vortex and test with community until maps are balanced.

Create an explosion or temporary invincibility to those that spawn, place spawns in hidden areas.

Unleash all possible playlists and give the community all our gametypes (ex: VIP, Juggernaut, Race)

Bring back all custom options that were removed and bring in common sense ones. (ex: Capture the flag carrying options)

Bring back fine editing, and zoom. Fix magnets, and allow shields to attach to each other.

Fix glitches, or hire people who can and fire those that can’t.

Implement system that recognizes skill, rank, KDR, and objective medals to assist in balancing teams. In addition ensure that no team ever holds more than two players than the other.

Bring in those connection options. I never want to JiP.

Create playlists specifically for Ordinance drops, and allow ordinance in spartan ops (for challenges). Remove for basic playlists like BTB, and allow weapon placements in forge like previous Halo games.

Fire the nit wit who makes up the challenges and bring in someone with common sense and logic on their side.

Allow the downloading of Spartan Op episodes to HDD.

Either increase reward for objective gameplay/medals or decrease points dramatically for non-objective gameplay/medals in objective gametypes (ex: oddball).

Fire and replace whomever is and/or runs community management.

im willing to go with …20% of the community is mad, and im being very liberal with that 20%

Oh please. 343i has been catering to people like you ever since they acquired the Halo franchise!

Do us all a favor and stop making meaningless threads. If you are that upset on the game, instead of bashing it, go play something else.
