My review of the Halo 4 beta so far..

As many of you know the Halo 4 beta launched on November 6th and we have had nearly three weeks to test it out and see what we like and don’t like.

The game to me so far feels pretty solid, I’m liking the guns and the loadout options, however the DMR is a bit OP and the BR is a bit UP, the BR needs to be upped to 4 shot kill for when the game releases.

Join In Progress, I had high hopes for this, I was hoping it would put me in games that had at least a very close score line (LIKE KEVIN FRANKLIN SAID) however I find myself joining games in which the opposing team has a lead of hundreds of points. In one game I joined the other team had a lead of 300 points !! I know its crazy and I hope 343 sorts it out for when the games launch. Or even better just removes it all together.

Respawns, these are just awful I find enemies I have just killed re-spawning directly next to me !! 343 please look closely at this before launch.

AFK, despite this being the Halo 4 beta which we have all waited years to play I am finding people simply leaving there controllers mid game thus meaning my team goes a man down, surely it would make sene to have a system in place where it kicks people for inactivity once the games launches, I really hope 343 take note of that.

All in all the game is looking great and this may look a little whiney but eh its just a beta and I’m sure 343 will have fixed all these issues once the game releases. The graphics are fantastic, the maps are awesome especially Haven (I can see this one getting voted a lot once the game launches), the guns are great except for the BR being UP and the DMR being OP.

I’m really hoping the game will launch with social and ranked playlists like Halo 3, because we all know what happened to Reach dont we ??? :wink:

Anyway, the games looking great despite these problems, but I’m sure they will be sorted for when the game launches.

OKAY PEOPLe! we can stop saying beta now… we get your point.

I bet your tears could fill a glass.

Fingers are crossed.

people want an OP br not a potentially dmr… i swear if the br was the … ULTIMATE WEAPON!!! in all the other halo games, noone would mind

Wut r u mean

Not sure what was worse, me reading this or OP taking his time posting his opinion of the official game.

Nobody cares!

Nerf the DMR and add more maps. That’s all I want.

I’m looking forward to the day where you develop a game and gear it entirely so you have a good time at the expense of every other player. Until then, stop whining, grow up and recognise that sometimes things will go your way and sometimes they won’t.

My goodness.

nostalgia, people miss the days with it was br or die

Although I hope to see more fixed when the Beta ends, this was done nicely.

OP has a good point guys, join in progress is a terrible system. Seriosuly think about it, who want to join mid game in a losing match? just do what all the other games did, penalize the leavers.

I think the weapon balance is good. I bet if they did what you wanted and made the br a 4 shot it would be over powered. Br wins the closer, jumping fights and matches on the mids. It loses on the long ones. Jip is nice, it saves a lot of games. I’m sure they will patch the thing where games start with dramatically uneven player numbers soon.

Lol, everyone is getting sick and tired of the billions of threads created on how people hate this game. I honestly love it. Me and my buds always have fun owning and messing around at the same time. No wonder its maybe dumb a**es like you make it so 343 doesn’t read these threads. Same thing every day.

Point made at beta, really.

Dude, LOL man! Yeah! LOL!

Guys I did this for a laugh, I love Halo including Halo 4, I’m slightly disappointed with a few things about Halo 4’s multiplayer however. I’m sure 343 are listening and I’m sure they saw the funny side of this.

Fix JIP
Fix the respawns
I can live with the BR and the DMR they way they are
Penalize or boot people for being AFK
Launch true skill playlists next year (with no jip)

And I will call Halo 4 the best Halo ever.

The only thing 343i needs to do is make a separate “complaints” forum.

Why do I even come here anymore?

Nope. Its the cool thing to say now.
