Does anyone else feel as though we’ve been a bit gimped this time around? Almost we’re missing many gametypes (the removal of Swat killed me), most of the armour is very similar, and there appears to be a very low number of maps available for Infinity slayer. They’ve removed vehicles, most of the weapons are just copies of each other with a different skin, and they’ve usually got pretty crazy imbalances in them.
The thing that disappoints me the most is campaign. I won’t even explain why, but it felt uneventful and short-lived.
Swat is in the game in the form of custom games, and comes to matchmaking next week. Not to mention they are introducing new gametypes and playlists EVERY WEEK. None of the weapons are reskins, you’re just using them wrong. I don’t see the armor as similar at all, perhaps you need glasses? And they removed the useless vehicles.
Though it is true that the number of maps they gave us at launch is laughable.
I miss the Arena style combat, to be honest. I don’t mind the new ordinance drop feature, but the classic arena style, rush the power weapon game play seems to be entirely absent.
The game types aren’t really a problem for me, those are always added in post-release. I love the new armor designs, and I agree, the Campaign did seem largely uneventful, and honestly was.
The only things that happened was the Didact appeared (and probably didn’t die, Cortana appears to be dead/lost, and Chief is reunited with the UNSC.However, I like the changes they made to CTF, and the new Dominion gamemode. I also like the new Forerunner weapons/enemies, the Mantis is a nice addition, and I honestly prefer Spartan Ops to firefight.
agree with 2nd post… and campaign uneventful? for the first time in halo history they actually went in with story and amazing cutscenes. for the first time the action and the story have me interested. i haven’t felt like this since halo ce. and for the first time i actually enjoy the mp. but hey to each their own

I’d rather not have to find 8 people to play Swat with every time that I get the urge. The suppressor, Assault Rifle, and Storm gun all have extremely similar kill-times, and there’s really not much difference in using them. The Covenant and UNSC sniper rifles are back to having almost no difference in them (Aside from the clip/battery). And no, I don’t need glasses. Every other helmet that I’ve seen so far is another helmet with a different coloring pattern or a slightly different shape. Why were those vehicles useless by the way? The UNSC doesn’t need aerial vehicles? Aside from that I miss the variety that other vehicles offered.
