Some headshots remain undetected, terrible BR range (BR should be 4 shot kill to compensate), DMR allows precision at long range and spammed rapid fire at close range (it is also very random sometimes), almost impossible to headshot someone from behind because of bad hitboxes (expecially at medium range with a BR), grenades are piss weak (and this is amplified by the fact that an icon comes up showing you where the nade is, so avoiding it is too easy), armour abilities are useless now, the new armour abilities are boring/bad/useless, boltshot beats weapons like scatter shot at close range for some reason, poor forge environments compared to Reach and even Halo 3, lack of game modes, current game modes are not very good (also filled with glitches like being frozen after capping a point in domination), gameplay is now quicker yet the time it takes to raise your weapon after sprinting is still very long, all loadout CQC weapons suck (such as the supressor), getting sticks are pretty much only possible at close range since grenades travel so slow, un-predictable grenade movement (throw one under enemies feet and could end up 10 meters away from where it hit the ground first), bad grenade physics (too bouncy), ordinance and loadouts suck (if they are going to rip off call of duty they should at least do it well with great kill streaks/weapon customisation and etc), vehicles suck because of the map design (vehicles can only run down small paths, which makes vehicles easy to destroy), too many advantageous possitions on maps means easy camping.
It totally is, I’m trying something a bit different and trying to find some above-average to good people to play with and see if that makes a difference. Hit me up with a friend request and we’ll see if we can’t make this game turn into the Halo that we love so dearly!
i just read your first sentence and stopped reading because thats the biggest problem i have. seems like more than half of my 1v1 encounters, one of my DMR shots doesnt register, and i count out the shots, land the final headshot and then move on only to realize the person is still alive and then i end up dying because i have to turn around and try to finish them off. and ive gone back in theater many times to play it back in slo mo to make sure i landed all my shots and i did. sad times. thats what really bothers me. when i outplay someone, they dont die, i know they were supposed to so i move on and then they kill me o.0
Matchmaking is a complete disaster, we do pay for our Xbox live subscription and 343 have’t integrated dedicated servers into halo 4. I mean that is probably the biggest mistake they made with the multiplayer.
I recommend taking a break until the TU. I’ve been playing the God of War Ascension beta and Black Ops 2. I can’t even finish a full match in this game anymore without getting bored or having to quit because of game breaking lag.

This. Even Epic Games realized this and switched to servers for GoW3 1 1/2 years ago.
Really, about the headshots from the behind is impossible? This is the easiest Halo game to get headshots from behind, and you don’t even need to hit their head, just in the upper back area, near the neck, to get a headshot from behind. You sure you’re not talking about Reach?
When I play as a random, i get mad sometimes, the lack of teamwork, communication, silly players. To each his own, I guess. So I told my friends that i needed them to start playing again. They listened, so every night between 6 and 8 of them get online to play with me now, and I will say this:
It has been one of the most pleasurable experiences I have had with halo in years, the swearing, the properly executed/failed tactics that bring laughs and shouts of being blown up in a hog, to the banter between games about the last, have resounding affect on me. Granted, there are some things that could be better and I truly believe 343i will come correct. I can wait, you know why? Halo is the only FPS i have ever played and it will remain the only I ever play. Broken or not, we share a bond that wont be shackled by quirks or a new development teams shortcomings. I strongly feel it can only get better. When one is at the bottom the only place to go is up.
HOLY HELL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SUCKING YOUR OWN PIN BRO.
Yes, many of the problems you have stated and a few more are present in the game. However, some of your statements were just pure hate and were not justified. It seems that your just one of those people that complain about everything. ARMOUR ABILITIES are useful, at least in my opinion they are. id rather have the jet pack then without one. What would you have different in the loadouts, different loadouts for different gameplay styles makes sense. LAG is an issue, but 343 will no doubt fix it up later on. 343 makes players use grenades more STRATEGICALLY. and i am capable of sticking people fine with plasma just fine. maybe you need to stop complaining that the game isnt spoonfeeding you kills, and understand that certain amounts of skill are needed.
Ultimately, if you dont like it, DONT PLAY IT. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but is seems that you are spouting hate left, right and centre. Take a break from the game and watch a movie.
if you dont like Halo 4 multiplayer mechanics, go back to playing previous games that suit your styles.
About the headshots not registering at times: this happens to me frequently and I know it has cost me several kills. There have been times I know I hit all my shots, yet it’s like everyone is a 5-shot pro these days and lag is occasionally causing me to be one step behind.

What game have you been playing? Are you sure you aren’t talking about Reach? It was extremely easy to get headshots on opponents with their backs turned in that game. In H4, you must have pinpoint accuracy to pull that off and it’s extremely difficult even with the DMR. Your best bet is to hope you can pull off 3 more body shots before they sprint away behind cover which seems to be a popular and loathsome tactic in this game.

BR should not be 4sk as it would then be fast enough to overwhelm AR in close. DMR fire rate should be reduced so it fires 4 shots in the amount of time the BR fires 5. Removes its ability to kill at closer ranges unless the BR guy misses more than the DMR guy.
Well we have these big–Yoink- power packs on our shoulders, of course our heads are harder to hit from behind. If you don’t like it, stop being a coward and get in a direct fight.
Grenades are far from weak, stop having no idea how to toss a sticky or how to combine a frag with a BR headshot/AR pulse.
Armor abilities make this game, armor lock was for bad kids and I’ve got more than a mild suspicion that’s your real complaint here.
Yes on Reach, no on 3. Halo 3’s forge was godawful and only has merit because it was the one to introduce forging to Halo.
Not only am I pretty sure this was intentional, but it works. You don’t send one guy alone to cap an occupied base for a good reason.
I don’t know about you but CQC is my strong suit. They kick -Yoink- when you learn how to not stand still and mash the trigger down like a scrub.
Sounds like you have no idea how to use a grenades, they are pretty effective in Halo 4.
Ordinances are fun because it reduces power weapon camping, loadouts are fine.
If BR’s should be 4 shot kill to compensate for range (which I don’t disagree with considering how fast the DMR fires), the Carbine should be a 6 shot.
But I still think it’d be better for them to just nerf the -Yoinking!- DMR.
