Like an older halo game? That must’ve been a lie.
Random ordnance? That must’ve been a lie.

There used to be a lot of cool unique weapons! Now we have a new sniper, a new shotgun, a new rocket launcher, a new DMR/BR, and a new half-pistol/mini shotgun. Just old weapons with new skins! Where’s my ****ing plamsa launcher?
Also, I’ve shot knights with binary rifles on normal, only to have them warp the moment I pull the trigger, or just be immune to damage as a watcher puts up a shield AFTER the shot. The campaign is broken too.
And rock dumb AI, even on legendary. Knights either walk backwards into your combat knife or spam binary rifle or incineration cannon >;o
Stuck at level 70 are we?
Spartan OPs gives more XP than wargames?
King of the Hill has no actual hills? I’ll explain that later in a different thread.
Um… yeah, you could probably help extend the list. Even with the forge world maps everywhere, I found there was about twice as much content in Reach as H4. That’s rather sad. I didn’t even pay for Reach, but when I paid full price for H4 it was a letdown. Last time I pre-order anything from Microsoft.
And still no orange visor? WTF.
I’ve been lied to SO MUCH about this game and all it’s email promotions. And Spartan Ops sucks. It’s just the same spartans with the same weapons killing the same enemies on the same maps… Feels like a toned down campaign with an annoying radio chime! Think about it. Think deeply about it. And you might have to pay for that someday… Yeeeah if Halo 5 doesn’t pick up the pace Halo IS gonna die. Well… The new Halo, at least.
No problems with perks or loadouts though. Except LE buyers get exclusive perks which is BS… so yeah.
And the DMR? It doesn’t need slower RoF. It just needs a more bloom. Not as much as in Reach though, because it needs to be stronger anyways to compete with the BR and H4 weps. Just a tad bit OP right now, nothing major.
What about Hardlight shield? Well… it’s an armor lock that has been SO nerfed it’s not as useful as the other abilities, and extremely situational. You can’t even recharge shields when you have it out… And it could at least have a bash melee attack or something, that wouldn’t be OP but it’d be pretty cool! I mean normal damage melee btw. A “Face Basher!” medal for +5 points when killing somebody with it.
I’ll be doing other stuff then I guess… Call me back when Pioneer comes out. Hopefully the game will be patched so much by then, that it looks like a glorious Halo quilt. Heh wow, this is a long post. Well anyways that’s why I don’t like Halo 4. The game is lacking in every department and the devs are liars. That’s not a good sign.
Oh btw I think it’s a good game… Just not a great game. It’s no match for Halo’s past.
