Just, stop.

Really. Stop. Every thread here is just someone complaining about one feature. Stop. It’s flooding the boards and it’s getting annoying. The first 10 seconds of the video had this message:

“Looks and elements are subject to change.”

So what you’re seeing now may or may not be in the final build. We should be discussing what Halo 4 could be and what it will be, not making a new thread every time something doesn’t contour to your wants and needs.

Halo 4 is going to be great and I know that the people complaining about this game are going to buy it anyways, don’t lie. 343i is doing great.

Oh, and loadouts do not make the game comparable to CoD. Loadouts have been featured in games way before they were in the CoD franchise. Comparing Halo to CoD is sheer bastardization of the game we all love.

Disagreed. 343 should hire the guys behind (ie.) Quake and older FPS to make the Halo 4 MP. Even with a new twist they wouldnt’ ever add perks, random weapons timers and loadouts… 343 just missed the meaning of arena MP. This is SO SO SAD.

Agreed, I’m glad some one actually read that message in the beginning.

They weren’t trying to make and arena MP game. They are trying to keep it similar to Halo.

Halo was NEVER and should NEVER change its MP to arena MP.

whats wrong with the multiplayer ^ they’re trying something new and is that not what there suppose to do since its a new game?

What are you taking about? Halo’s MP has always been arena style.

While Halo definitely defined its own FPS sub genre, it’s still closer to an arena shooter than a military shooter. Therefore we can define it as an arena shooter. Making Halo 4 like a true arena shooter would’ve been a better decision thanwhat they did with Halo 4. Less people would’ve had such negative initial comments, and the game would’ve stood out from the crowd.

Too mainstream, gimmicky and unbalanced. We will be seeing people much less skillful having a huge advantage over people that are good just because they played more. Also, the balance and equality of, say, Halo 2 or Halo 3’s multiplayer set it aside from the crowd of COD clones and it is really sad that the game seems to follow the crowd just to achieve higher success. Damn casuals and their perks :frowning: At least Reach’s loadouts gave everyone the same options… I hope that this element will play completely different to what I imagine, then again- I am in the game mostly for Campaign (multiplayer taking most of my time, still) and that at least seems to be going in the right direction.
