It was fun while it lasted...

Games Other Halo

Now I’m always excited for the new halo game, have been since combat evolved. With Halo 4 it was no different, the day I got it I couldn’t wait to play it.

The fresh buzz of a new halo faded quickly, quicker than any other halo game (not including ODST)

I cant really put my finger on it, why is this game I sought after since it was announced leaving such a bitter taste in my mouth.

I loved the campaign don’t get me wrong but any campaign only has a certain amount of replay-ness (most likely not a word)especially after doing it on the hardest difficulty has been achieved.

So I’ve boiled it down to two things, custom games and matchmaking.

I don’t hate them its just a few things I don’t get why they left out or put in in the first place

WEAPON SKINS

If your going to add skins for weapons you should at least add more than just two for every gun. This feature at first excited me, but then I realised there’s no variety, everyone will just wind up with the same skin eventually. For me a weapon skin is another way to make a gun your own, personal, but if everyone has the same skin its pointless having the feature at all.

RANKING UP

  • Too easy
  • nothing really to gain from it
  • like reach, doesn’t show skills just shows how much you DON’T get out of the house

and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was annoyed when they found out that all you get for SR 130 is an emblem.

DMR

I love it, but lets be honest it should not beat a BR a close range

CARBINE

might aswel shoot BB bullets, underpowered compared to the other ‘headshot based’ weapons

NO TEAM SNIPERS

they got rid of team snipers? if the playlist wasn’t popular I would of understood but it wasn’t so WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYY?!?!?!?!

CUSTOM GAMES

The worst options in any halo to date. impossible to make game types such as:

  • duck hunt
  • garbage man
  • ice cream man

or any other GOOD zombie variant because they cant hold weapons, nor can weapons be spawned even when they have been placed in forge.

other miner annoyances are:

  • not having all objective game types in one playlist. looks stupid when only 30 people are playing kind of the hill. plus putting them all in one playlist will make each game different, force (in a good way) people to try new things.
  • Turrets in Dominion need to be stronger, I mean come on! they are meant to be base defences NOT over sized water pistols.
  • no real point in kill cams they rarely work
  • not having weapons sprees any more
  • bolt shot
  • the whole hitting someone directly with a rail gun and it NOT killing them

and I’m sure I can think of many more but I’ve ranted long enough.

so community, what annoys you about this recent halo installant?

thanks for reading.

Still having fun.

Still lasting.

Will likely continue to last, at least until the next game on my queue is released. I think that is in February.

i digress, it has its moments.

Just wish halo 4 had a beta or came out in early 2013. A ton of minor problems that dont get patched quick enough. Still a really fun game, even though its missing custom game options and a classic halo playlist…

This will take up most of my multiplayer playing for the next 6 months. Only a few games im looking forward to right now in the coming year

I agree with everything you said, and feel the same way. I was excited about Halo 4 too, but over time I realized I felt the same way about it as Reach… that I don’t like it really.

I think loadouts, armor abilities, perks, and a lack of 1-50 rank grouped playlists are the biggest things for me, but the stuff is endless the more I think about it. Its actually kind of amazing just how many things are messed up in Halo 4 now and how far Halo has drifted from its Halo CE, 2, and 3 core.

Oh yeah…

Downgraded Forge from Reach

Lack of custom game type options

These are two more huge things I am not happy about.

It doesn’t seem as fun when im playing the game solo, but when i team up with my friend we usually have quite a bit of fun :slight_smile:

Couldn’t agree more, but lets be honest, most games are better with friends just a shame most of my friends would rather play something else because of the reasons in the thread :frowning:
