Number 1 Complaint About Halo 4?

Hey there!

Now that I got your attention, I’d like to ask the community what their number one complaint is about the gameplay of Halo 4.

-The Weapons?
-The Movement?
-The Players?
-The abilities?

(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Weapons- DMR eliminating close quarters combat. But I can live with it since I mainly play AGL. Also the Boltshot…

Movement- Sprint. Needs to go. Or at least have the option to disable it.

Players- The people who use the Boltshot and active camo.

Abilities- Starting with them is a huge mistake. They should be map pickups. Jetpack is the only ability that I dislike otherwise. Camo should perform as it did in the first three installments.

Why the misleading title?

Anyways, spawning with AA’s, Sprint, Flinch and Custom Loadouts.

Spawning with stickies and the PP, the ease of use of all human weapons sans the Magnum,and Sprint-I would rather move super quick. Personal Ordinance would be coolif it was just power ups. Also, the Boltshot…

Oh! And regicide.

None of the above.

Instant respawn needs to go and weapon spawn times increased.Removing instant respawn would balance the shield recharge rate feeling so slow, that no so rare event of being instantly killed by the guy you just killed would be resolved.

pretty misleading title there…

ordnance needs to go. or make aa’s arrive in ordnance would be cool too. theres also balancing it by limiting what it is in it by tiers of weapons and how many times you get ordnance.

ordnance needs fixed somehow.

At least change the title now that you have people posting in it.

The topic is about the Battle Rifle buff and you are asking our opinion on everything that needs fixing. By the prophets I am confused.

-Make boltshot and plasma pistol map pick-ups
-Make bullet magnet weaker
-Take out perks
-Just have sprint and take out all other abilities(so basically people only get to choose from different primary weapons)
-MUCH better, more battle-like armor
-Take out instant-respawn
-No ordanance drops
-Better lighting(the spartans in Halo 4 glow0
-More interactive maps(like last resort)
-Take out generating lighting. It gets really annoying to play forge with 2 people or more on the same Xbox
-Bring back infection
-Make Halo less laggy
That about sums up all of my problems with Halo 4(I’m sure I missed a few though)

Bring back descoping. There are a number of elements within this game that I dislike, but the absense of descoping is the runnaway winner for me.

DMR eliminating CQC thats a funny joke.

> Agreed .

> Agreed.
> -Just have sprint and take out all other abilities(so basically people only get to choose from different primary weapons)
> I would rather move faster, but its all opinion. Also, I think the weaker AAs (Everything but Jet pack, PV, and Active camo) should stay in the loadouts, but again all opinion.

> Agreed.
> -Take out instant-respawn

> -No ordanance drops
> Agreed.
> -Better lighting(the spartans in Halo 4 glow0
> Agreed, however the lighting system is the reason H4 lags.
> -More interactive maps(like last resort)
> The new DLC maps have this again.
> -Take out generating lighting. It gets really annoying to play forge with 2 people or more on the same Xbox
> Agreed, but this is because of Halo 4’s fancy lighting system.

-Secondaries and Grenade selection gives too much power to players. I’d much rather keep the PP and BS on the ground and allow players to select what Primary they want. Same to plasma and pulse grenades.

If vehicles are a problem, I’d rather let the drags get the ability to flip vehicles again, and bring the focus on vehicle maps to disable and capture enemy vehicles instead of destroying them all the time.

Removal of Instant Respawning and Flinch

People who complain about complaining or complain about gameplay mechanics because they have nothing better to do than trash a game on the forum as opposed to be civil about it and simply put it up as a “bug report”.

I imagine these people who complain about everything in the game are the same as people who go to McDonald’s and send back the entire Big Mac meal because there wasn’t exactly three squirts of ketchup on the burger and the fries only have enough salt on them to harden your arteries as opposed to give you a double heart attack…

Elites. Nothing jiggles my jimmies more than the fact there are no elites in multiplayer.

I guess just the lack of innovation in the game while at the same time failing to stay true to itself. Disregarding the effects of the new concepts, none of them are particularly original, and other things that define the series, such as music and art, were abandoned.

It’s no easy job creating a new product. People are going to complain regardless of what you do. I’m still disappointed nonetheless.

Hate the game, don’t hate the devs.

> People who complain about complaining

Isn’t that what you’re doing right now?

I don’t throw a fit when people mess up my order either, I just deal with it.

Halo is different as I want to see the game improve, and the forums are at least a somewhat constructive time sink.

My only complaints about the game are

  1. No 1-50 ranking system in game
  2. No firefight
  3. About 10 missing game types in custom games
  4. Customizable load outs (I think load outs should be just like halo reach same weapons just different AA)
  5. Invasion (dominion looks pretty cool though)
