Please Fix Halo 4 For Competitive Players...

Games Other Halo
1

I’m Tired of playing Spartan of duty 4 id really like to play Halo again… please

Remove instant spawn from future ranked playlists and make it optional in custom games so competitive settings are actually possible.

Re-add the “X” where your teammates recently died this is a pretty crucial aspect.

Re-add Markers on the sides of the screen showing where team mates are on the map so you don’t have to be facing their direction to see their indicator.

Make it so Weapons/Grenades Regularly spawn on the maps again. I’m sick of Running out of DMR/BR ammo when I’m on a streak.

Make it optional to be able to drop the flag and also optional to not carry a pistol with the flag so flag running is actually part of the game again.

I’d like to see Power weapons not randomly land in front of my face and instead spawn on particular parts of the map again so map control/Power weapon control is an aspect of the game again.

Increase the Radius/damage of grenades… seriously… I don’t know how many grenades I’ve thrown at someone with no shield hiding in a corner… and gotten hit indicators and no rewarding kill … -_-

Options to Disable sprint as well personally i like sprint. it speeds up game play just a little bit and i feel its balanced because if you run into someone while sprinting and they are not you are punished by not being able to get the first shot or two. but it should still be optional.

Please show ranks in games when / if ranked playlists come out. It gives people something to strive for and feel proud of and makes games intense. and feel so much more rewarding. Personally i loved Halo 2’s Ranking system i remember being 14 and always going on bungies website to check my progress bar and not everyone with an IQ over 60 could achieve a level 50 rank or never achieve it if you decided to play a lot of social matches before you tried to get a 50 so the xp ratio made you have to win 40 games in a row… i remember it being hard for me to progress into the 30s back in halo 2!..

Also i love the BR but its useless in this game. it doesn’t matter… with the amount of aim assist in this game literally not letting me pull my Cross-hair off of an enemy a skilled DMR user will always beat a BR at any range…

Also please Bring back Doubles… and a lot of playlists that everyone loved… and not “rotational” … why is it so hard for 343 just to make people happy lol

I Really feel as if 343 Did not finish the multiplayer aspect of this game and just kind of threw it together and put it on the disc and shipped it out. There are so many tweaks the multiplayer needs that should have been self explanatory… just look at Halo 2 EVERYONE loved it… and it was so simple and fun everything worked the glitches made it even more fun. and it was exciting to watch… I don’t understand why its so hard to not just work from this basic concept. its like they are afraid to move backwards and they keep trying to add more and more to Halo which makes it not Halo.

Those are just things that I can think of at the moment im sure there are tons more that you guys could think of… please add them here! and i really hope 343 reads these… and i hope they can fix a lot of the issues before some date in 2013 i wanted to have fun when i first paid 60$ for the game and brought it home not get my moneys worth months and months later…

Especially instant respawns. There’s been far too many times were I’ve carefully flanked the enemy team only to have 2 people instantly spawn behind and team Br me. For the love god remove instant respawns!!

You know what OP… Your absolutely right.

Lets just ask them to take back every copy of Halo 4 they sold and remake it just like this.

5

You’re forgetting to add callouts on the maps like they did in Reach.

Guys, I hate to say this… But this just isn’t going to happen. Maybe some of these things will change, but It’s highly doubtful that all of this will change. This is Halo 4, not Reach, not 3, not even 2 or 1.

If anything like this happens it will be during a title update, something we’ll have to be patient about. This game has received so much hate and rage from so much of the community, most of it just mindlessly calling it CoD (not that I’m saying you’re doing it mindlessly, mind you).

They KNOW already. They know, that people are irritated with some of the changes to the series.

I commend you though, for being thoughtful and constructive with your rant. I’m not trying to be super negative, nor am I saying 100% for a fact these changes won’t come. What I am saying though, is that we have to be patient.

It’s just that this is a new game, and I don’t mean that in the “It was just released” sense, but the “It’s an entirely new experience”. Games change, and people need to change with them.

This is Halo 4, if you really want all of that… Go back to Reach or 3. That’s not meant to be taken as some sort of insult, or -Yoink-, or anything of the sort. It’s just advice, because, well… This isn’t those games, and it’s not going to be those games. If you want it to be though, just go play them, and stop wasting your time here until the game is something more like what you would want to play. If it doesn’t become that though? No big loss, you still have the games you actually want.

Nobody is forcing you to play, nobody even forced you to buy the game, you obviously dont’ want to play Halo 4 though, so don’t.

I’m not saying have a mass recall on all halo 4 copies lol just release updates to the game adding these features. you know… so Halo 4 actually stays in the MLG spot light and isn’t removed like Reach was.

I would go play those games over halo 4 if there was more than a whopping 500 players online at a time now lol. the shift won’t go back to an older game unless they make Halo 2 playable on live again… and that will never happen because they damn well know they would lose a ton of halo 4 players that go back to playing Halo 2. because it was the best. Period

It is hard to say if they can even fix all of theses things. I agree we need these changes but it might take over 6 months for all these changes to be applied to the game.They really just should not have messed with the games formula in the first place.

It is sad that I bought this game for 60 bucks launch night and have only played it for ten hours all together including story.

I pray you will be completely ignored.

Exactly… i feel they tried to fix things that were never broken… or are trying to steal some COD Players by adding COD features…

I was so looking forward to playing Halo 4 after how bad Reach was. Because i thought 343 was actually going to listen to the community my only explanation for this is that they were in the COD forums lol. or they did and thought “well lets not do any of that at all! and make people very unhappy” lol

12

Instaspawn alone made Halo go from slightly competitive to very casual shooter. If they remove it from all other playlists and keep it in Infinity only, that would be a huge improvement.

I pray you will be completely ignored.

Why will you people not let us have our game?

Because this game is 10/10 and your game was called Halo:Reach and most of the people saying this are just bungie loyals, look at this poll https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm1694998_Halo-4-is-not-a-good-game-at-all-BUYER-BEWARE.aspx#post1694998.

I think they said they will be releasing a playlist update on Nov. 13th–Call of Duty: Black Ops II–you might have heard of it.

Ok first of all my game was definetly not called halo reach. LOL
And second your poll doesn’t say anything about how good this game is. And third you kids need to realize that this game is a smack in the face to anyone who liked halo for what it was. I know I have played more halo than you so it means a lot more to me than it does to you.

17

No you haven’t I finished my Halo:CE-Halo 4 so I know halo what your talking about isn’t Halo.

Bungie loyals? LOL They -Yoinked!- up when they made Reach. Load outs KILLED it for me, -Yoink- is dumb and is not what Halo is about. Halo had 3 minute battles over a damn rocket launcher and camouflage. Now? You spawn with camo and luckily get rockets from a “care package”.

I think, we, TRUE HALO FANS, need to realize that we’re never gonna get Halo 2 back. Why? Because if we keep playing hot garbage like Reach and all of it’s clones we will end up hating it. It’s FRUSTRATING and I hate that this dork I quoted, thinks we Halo veterans don’t like Halo 4 because we’re Bungie loyals and does not realize the essence of Halo multiplayer. This type of thinking signifies Halo’s death because this is what 343i will appeal to for money.

Hail Halo 2, the last true Halo installment (multiplayer). Hail Halo 3 MLG, the last try for competitive Halo.

As for maps with weapon on it, ('m already hard at work doing that. got 2 maps done right now, working on all the rest. I also have a classic gametype(no ordinance, no AAs, no loadouts), and a simplified gametype(set loadouts like reach, everyone with the same weapons, no ordinance). When I get them all done, they will be on my fileshare and I’ll post links on the forum(need 343 to fix the damn file sharing on their site too).

I’m going to address these in order, by paragraph, starting with your instant spawn comment.

Why would you complain about something that hasn’t happened yet.

This would be nice, but isn’t necessary. If you want to be competitive, you should be learning call outs and accurately describing where you die and where your opponents are in relation, not “ON MY X”

See above. You should be communicating if you are talking about competitive.

This would be nice.

I disagree, but this is personal preference. Don’t make it sound like they did something wrong just because you don’t like it.

Map control is a part of the game, have you played Abandon? But power weapons would be nice to spawn regularly, which I am pretty sure they do already, just not as often.

It’s not the developers fault that you think you are playing Reach.

I can agree, but it seems pretty superfluous. It’s balanced, so why fix it?

This would be a nice feature, but once again unnecessary.

Sorry dude but all I have to say is “Cry some more.”

The game just launched, and I know I am happy with the options. As opposed to flooding matchmaking with playlists, they give solid options which everyone likes which quickens matchmaking times and solidifies the community experience.

This game feels more like Halo 2 then any other Halo. I honestly don’t know what you are talking about. And of course they are going to keep new things, that’s what progress is. Halo 2 is never coming back in the way we had it before, ever. You gotta get over it and just have fun.

To say that this game isn’t worth your money is ridiculous. You have a full story with co-op, spartan ops and full multiplayer. You can make maps and share films. You have your stats with dozens of details posted online for your enjoyment. -Yoink- if this game isn’t worth your money I wouldn’t recommend any of the Final Fantasy’s, the first two Assassins Creed would be terrible too, all of those don’t have multiplayer. -Yoink- the first Halo would be bad man, that only had LAN.

Y’all gotta calm down. I have my gripes, and I will share them, but I don’t expect or need them to be fixed, it would just be nice.
