So they patched the supernade this morning… 343 takes time out of their day to make a patch for things that take skill and continue to ignore changing things that dont. They need to put that back, the only thing competitive players liked in halo 4. They really only need to make a patch/update focusing on bullet magnetism/aim assist and how easy it is to aim in this game>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWaDwsGb1c0<<< or work on small things like removing the boltshot, everyones favorite pocket shotgun… reducing the power of AR’s holy -Yoink-… or making the BR 4 shot to promote movement not camping : /… I feel like 343 were the kids that were terrible at all the previous halo’s and made a game with little or no skill gaps so no one can truly separate themselves.skill wise. They made aiming and camping easier plus they completely ruined the enire competitive scene.
LOL that’s the same thing people said about Bungie when Reach came out. It’s like everyone is stuck on repeat around here. There are title updates being worked on and we’ll just have to wait and see what they tweak.
One does not simply remove weapons from a completed game.
They just merely nerf them.
The removal of the super-grenade glitch will not ruin competition.
It was unbalanced since the host could not use it.
If one player is unable to do it due to technological rules, then it is unbalanced.
the whole game is unbalanced and unfair… they made a game with random weapon spawns… thats unfair??? why didnt they change that… I never said it would ruin competition, i said its somthing all competitive players enjoyed… like they only thing in this game… and i know they cant take out the boltshot but they should or def look into nerfing like you said
Holy hell, video games are not the NFL. This competitive nonsense is killing me…
Overall I think the game is great. The glitchy things need to be fixed and I have confidence they are working on it. The boltshot doesn’t kill me any more than any other weapon…pay attention to what your opponent is carrying and realize there might be a reason he went to hide around the corner. Resupply should make it easier to clear out the corner campers with nades.
I think there is a broad appeal to the game and that is what games should be made for…THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS, not the people who think they are the Michael Jordan of the video game realm and spend 10 hours a day on their xbox. Those folks will be dead soon anyways…or in a diabetic coma from all that mountain dew and doritos.
How many folks have MLG as their regular job or profession? few…very few. The ruining competitive play garbage reminds of the people who take summer softball leagues way too seriously…its kind of a yoinkbag argument. I think allowing options to cater to the competitive MLG players is a great idea and should be there. Hopefully another addition in a TU. But saying the entire game should cater to that crowd is nonsense.
Im trying to make an argument halo is going down the wrong path. The numbers are going down ever since the release of the game. They need a ranking system and game that requires skill not a game with numerous things wrong with it… this game neither caters to the social or competitive player
> Holy hell, video games are not the NFL. This competitive nonsense is killing me
Your right, video games are more serious and should be held to a higher standard.
Whats supernade?
Man, to hell with “the competitive scene”. I just wanna have fun and play games with my buddies. Wish they made a competitive version to you clowns can have your own game.
Bugs need to be fixed, that was an unintended glitch and was treated as such. Exploiting glitches isn’t competitive and it doesn’t show skill, it does show however who’s willing to exploit the game to win.
Stopped reading after the AR remark…
Never mind, Think it was updated, just the lack of grenade throwing animation is still there when you do it. Did see that they updated the boltshot reload glitch too
Don’t get me wrong, Halo 4 is still so much fun to play w/ friends online. But it was orginally designed as a competitive multiplayer title. It doesn’t matter if people don’t make a living playing it. Much like the way StarCraft and counter strike were PC equivalents of competitive games, Halo was the xbox version of a competitive title. It has become less so w/ each new game. But I guess I can live w/ that and just kick back and enjoy the game for what it is.
> Whats supernade?
It was a glitch that let you throw a sticky (not sure if it works with other nades)across the map.

Yes they did, and it was a beautiful glitch that owned boltshot campers and lift campers because of the high velocity ricochet.
How did you perform supernate
I was a huge 343i supporter before this game launched, but since ive played it from day 1 now, I’m really getting the feeling this series is being perverted by microsoft.
I just want a Halo title, not a blockbuster FPS.
And I still think the AR is weak.
> How did you perform supernate
By throwing instantly as you sprint!
