it’s just plain dumb. everyday I’m getting on matches that are close to an end and usually those are lost matches. spartan ops lags almost everytime you play matchmaking attached to it. there’s no online file share browsing. is it just me or this game was made only with us user in mind since other countries are treated the same way as Chakas by War Sphinx (suck it up).
im gonna -Yoink- cause there are always promises unkept
JIP is a spectacular failure. I have noticed way more quitting in Halo 4 then any other game. Add to this the fact the game literally will start a 6 V 2 game when there are 8 people in a lobby?..
Every game there is one person at the bottom with X next to his name.
The spartan Ops net code is just piss poor as was the firefight in previous games.

They should stick to making remakes of campaigns like they did with CEA. Although that still has many glitches such as the green flickering of your screen when you use a needler in classic mode. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
We should have seen their incapability to make a game then. Now they just ruined the whole lot.
I think 343 did a very good job on the campaign and the multiplayer experience. I do really miss the theater mode for the campaign and Spartan Ops but that might still happen in a later update. As for the file share I’d rather have the game now and have this option setup later.
Some corners where cut but this is the studios first full game. Give them a break.
Halo 2 was flawed! there I said it. Campaign made no sense! Multiplayer was shotgun heavy! And the game had glitches aplenty when it was first released. Take off the rose colored glasses of yore!

Completely agree. I think, though it was still a great game, Halo 2 was the worst Halo thus far. Bungie (admittedly) managed their time horribly while making it. They cut random levels out and used cutscenes to fill in the gaps, the cutscenes themselves had horrible pop in, they had to cut the whole ending, the multiplayer was extremely unbalanced and glitchy and modders were rampant. I have a lot of nostalgia for Halo 2 and I probably have some of my best Halo memories with it, but objectively it was probably the worst Halo, quality-wise.
This is one of the few aspects of Halo 4 I have complaints about. I understand it’s intended purpose, but i’m tired of being thrown into matches where my team is already down by 10 kills or so.
Bring back a system that punishes quitters and eliminate JIP, it would be a step in the right direction to better match quality.
> So what, you get a loss tallied to your otherwise meaningless record and you get some cheap and easy XP for it.
Up until launch we had so many dev diaries etc etc saying ‘This will be the most competitive halo yet’ how is a system where you join in the losing side with 30 seconds to go competitive? These issues are nothing to do with personal traits, they are just contradictions on the promises made in marketing this game…
This whole thing gets even worse when we see all of these complaints and not even a fart back from 343i… the weekly updates do not mention or address the community at all! I have grown to despise the nature of the updates, they come across so awful and pretentious. I mean what the hell is BS Angel going on about all the time? the game is receiving so much bad press from the casual gamer right through to the Machinima crowd… and they are just simply ingoring it.
JiP is a great topic, because i believe that a large portion of the community hates this and we can see how 343i treat the community in regards to these issues.
I have never known such a buggy game, every inch of this game has a bug… commendations, achievements, armour unlocks (legendary), loadouts, sr1 reset, servers unavailable glitch, JiP, missing sprint after host migration, Active camo radar glitch, falling through walls on maps, campaign topography missing. just to name a few…

All I can really say here is “welcome to modern business”. Because everybody over-markets everything in order to make you buy everything. God, I hope you’ve never bought a Peter Molynuex game before.
Love how people constantly hate on every Halo bar Halo 2 xD Plus most of the Halo 4 haters hate on the game because it has changes not seen in a Halo game before, yeah its got a shedload of glitches and bugs but thats virtual life for you! I don’t see why people keep comparing to Halo 2 + 3 because you all mention it like you want them to bring EXACTLY the same game out every year?
Just suck it up, if you don’t like it, don’t play it.

True, very true, but this is the worst i have seen, it really does feel insulting for everyone who owns the game… just sitting in silence shaking their heads at their tv and feeling embarrassed at some of the really silly problems with the game.
Fallout new vegas was shambles when it was released, but the reputation stuck, many steered away from that game or simply voiced how poor it was… i have to say H4 is even worse as none of the glitches are fun/funny like in some other games…
What i know, is that for any new progress in level cap and functionality will probably be a 1200msp map pack -_- of about 3 maps… lol

Did you even read the threads contents? it has nothing to do with additions, it is about things not working correctly, being glitched or simple atrocious in in the features behavior.
And yes, H2 was FULL of glitches and bugs… but these were of a different nature, they gave endless hours of community exploration, speed runs and jump skills… not endless hours waiting for a new host to be picked -_-

Nothing to do with additions? This topic was started because of JIP… a new addition to the Halo games right?
Plus I didn’t say Halo 2 had the glitches and bugs (although it had them), I was talking about Halo 4
not even as good as halo 3
