Yet again we have nothing to look forward to except a broken game… We have still been informed about nothing(TU late febuary)… Rotational hopper? 2v2 only a weekly playlist? a forge playlist but we wanted that incorporated into matchmaking instead… not that hard. only maps that are forge worthy are maybe simplex and dispatch(relay is a piece of -Yoink-)… maybe lockout…
Tu wont save the game cause they wont listen to the community even if they are preaching they will cause they havent done so yet… Halo is an arena style shooter… was made to be a competitive game…
Playlist need to add and keep
doubles
mlg
team objective ( Koth, CTF, extraction, oddball)
griftball
snipers if flinch is removed
Things they need to remove from the game
insta spawn
jip
boltshot
Pods (unless infinity slayer becomes a social playlist which = mindless slayer)
flinch
bullet magnetism/assist aid help crutch handicap… no skill gap
Things they need to add/change
smaller maps forge incorporated… mlg v1 maps are perfect for this, with what ever setting they feel the need to use
static weapons <<< halo was an arena style shooter i thought
br 4 shot … encourage movement
increase vehicle strength
ranks
classic btb… classic everything but btb needs it badly
wow nothing is ever good enough for this community huh?
even after they acknowledge all the mistakes and the learning curve and confirm the fact they are listening and trying to be more communicative its still a mess of threads saying how much they dont care and hate us gamers.
You did see the part where they did state rationally that there are so many differing views and requests on this board that not everyone will get exactly what they want, right?
I’m a little tired of the community and a little tired of Halo 4 right now. I’ve played it so much and involved myself with this forum that I feel so tired and worn out.
I think I’m going to take a break from both and if the TU hits February with the Map Pack, I’ll jump back on to get the map pack achievements and play a bit. But in the mean time I’m tired, I don’t feel like dealing with the negativity of this forum and the random, frustrating deaths in Halo 4 to care about playing.
I’ll be back but not for a while.
P.S. Grifball will be rotated in and out? That doesn’t make sense at all.
We can keep Dubs and Grifball around IF we populate them. You guys keep forgetting that, it’s the reason why SWAT (and to lesser extent Team Regicide) is still around despite being a rotational playlist.
Not only that, if the feedback is in favor of playlists as well, the chances of rotational playlists sticking around go up.
The only time we don’t want them around is if they need better settings/maps. Team Snipers was removed because of this.
your right i will never be happy because i havent played a halo game in a while. sprint and loadouts i can deal with… the rest is a joke and so is this game… they fixed halo 2 in the same time period its probably going to take to change this game and that was 8 years ago…
Reach was a better that Halo 4… but AA’s runied that

When all you get are vague promises and lies, why would the community be optimistic?
doubles is going to be a permanent playlist, why else would they spend their time testing 2v2 maps in forge playlist, its the only playlist that would require 2v2 maps so they’re not going to make maps for a week-only playlist

Wow you call that lies? They genuinely sounded like they looked over the negatives. Changing a core mechanic in a game can be much more extensive than you seem to care to consider. A lot of big changes might be happening. You don’t know. Again, lets not forget that they too have families and went home for the Winter Break. They can’t put work in front of family. They are getting back on schedule, and the dates aren’t that vague. Be patient. It’ll be alright, and if you don’t like what’s happened then that sucks. however, not everyone is going to be happy, but if you can’t give at least decent constructive criticism then your ridiculous comments are unnecessary.
no one knows anything at all… so nothing has changed… i could care less about what their adding in the playlist if the game at its core is still broken. JIP, INSTASPAWNS,Pods/ random ordinances, and long kill times dont belong in halo. IF they dont atleast change insta spawns… i will be done with halo.
Power weapons should be a slight advantage not a huge advantage… No one can rifle or strafe anymore. rely on body shots and no scopes cause they know they have time to switch to their secondary. no reason to scope anymore either its useless now on small map <<< way maps should be like previous halo titles…
Problem.
I will contend that the majority of xbox 360 gamers do not have nor want xbl. I was one since the first xbox with the dreaded Thompson drives. I never wanted to play games online and for over 10 years stayed away from xbl and ONLY reciently subed. Not for gaming but to have access to the net since MS stopped supporting XP. I figure 59 a yr for xbl was far cheaper than buying a New PC and besides Halo 4 had just hit the shelf. More reason to get xbl and play the next installment of Halo campaign.
Which brings us to these updates on Jan 21 etc. Will MS/343 allow these specializations/SP Ops etc to be downloaded without an xbl account? Or does what I consider the majority of Halo players get left holding a 59 doller incomplete game?
Yes we REGULAR [oops… Dirty Word to be using in ONLINE gaming] campaign gamers would like to be able to Specialization Up and play any/all future installments of Spartan Ops without having an XBL account.
Also.[TWC] I have 10 megs of net service and most of the time the lag in Online gaming is so harsh that when youre finally able to return to the game MP slayer the match is over and you had 15 deaths w/o knowing how in the wide wide world of snorts did that happpen? Not to mentoan players who have nothing better to do than to join a match and run over/blow up their own teammates/vhecials. So i am seriously considering that after my years sub to XBL is over thats it for me for I am so aggrivated right now with the way ONLINE Gamming is going that I could chew Iron and spit rust.
