Halo was all about equal grounds and fair play, now it’s all about DMR’s and playing as cheap as possible. I’m all in for innovation but at least keep the simple formula of halo.
- Take out load outs, they suck spawning with plasma grenades, plasma pistol + bolt shot is absolute BS. Starting with plasmas seriously, have you not learned from heretic(halo 3)? You should only be able to pick a preferred automatic for normal slayer, and preferred precision weapon for a mode like slayer BR’s.
2)Weapon Balancing: DMR nuff said. I understand that you are currently fixing the problem but that’s no excuse, a patch like this should have been in effect at least 2 months after release (im being nice). Call Of Duty patches weapons faster, and they don’t even care about the community.

This is halo not COD, stop stealing elements from other games and putting them in here it wont work.

Maps, almost all of them suck. There’s not many arena style maps, there’s mostly big team maps. I love big team but come on, at least have an equal amount of small to big maps (not in between like you guys did). In previous games each map had a sort of gimmick like halo 3’s elephant, sword base’s map design, last resort’s falling bridge and spinning wheel. Small things like this make the game fun and entertaining. Halo 4’s maps are either missing symmetry, weapon balance or just plain replay value. Halo 4 also lacks maps like sandtrap, or avalanche. I would understand if there was no disc space left but Halo came in 2 discs so there’s no excuse.
5)Ruined machinima: Watch sofallenfilms’ video “halo 4 rant”. There’s no animation for anything and it looks plain dumb. Plus the text still appears in theater mode like wtf.
6)Theater: You cant watch campaign nor spartan ops videos honestly? Why?
7)Vehicles: What happened do falcons or hornets? Those were so much fun to use. Why take them out?
8)Weapons: Even in reach, there were unique weapons that were all interesting and fun to use. In halo 3 there was dual-wielding. Add duel wielding back it’s a small thing that just enriches the overall experience and it looks badass. In Halo 4 most of the guns are either different variations of an OG unsc weapon like the scatter shot.
-
Armor: I like most of the armor from the game. The problem is earning it, most armor is obtained by winning games in a certain game mode thus needing a good team to win. That should be in a RANKING SYSTEM not unlocking armor. Another thing commendation are either to hard like protector DRFT of not worth the struggle like Contoured SHRD. Also instead of making 2 sets of each armor,why not just make more different variations of armor. Perhaps giving the player the opportunity to choose between spartan 4, 2, 3. Just for variation sake. It would make appearances more interesting and unique. When I even get armor from a commendation i don’t feel rewarded i felt like i wasted my time.
-
Weapon Skins: When you say that you are adding weapon skins to your game, no one expected just one extra skin per gun. A good idea turned into a marketing scheme.
-
Playists: Omg guise. U really screwed up here. This is one of the things where you SHOULD copy for previous halo games. Ranked + Social Playists. It’s so simple
-
Ranking: If it takes me only 5 days for an mediocre player like me to reach max level there’s a big problem. The mountain dew thing didn’t help either.
13)Campaign: ill give you one point, campaign was fantastic
14)Map Packs: now, it’s the worst idea to release a map pack only a month after the previous one was released. In a way I liked what bungie did in halo 3 where you needed the maps to play core playlists (they gave players some time before doing so). Do it also…
15)Something New: Why not give medals to halo players in halo 4. Ex. your reach rank is shown on your player card in the lobby. It’s awesome to see someone’s legacy.
- Soul: Overall this game lacks soul. And if you don’t know how to put your heart and soul into something you created. PLAY Bioshock Infinite, I emplore you. Sure the game looks nice but it doesn’t have that soul, baiscally it was rushed. Halo 4 was a great example of a rushed game. As a game dev postponing the game for another 6 months is an act of love for the community not hate, because it shows that you want to give out the best you can give. And I know that you tried but giving out forge island but seriously, that should have been given launch date.
Overall, I keep trying to enjoy this game but I can’t. It dosen’t work and quite frankly I feel like playing Call Of Dmr Modern Solders 4 rather than a fair halo game. now I know that halo 4 was a big project so some things can be missed but honestly out of the hundreds of people who worked on this game, NOT A SINGLE one of them noticed that something was not right? Do you guys want to know why Halo 4 server are under 40 000 and Cod 750 000+. Because Treyarch makes Call Of duty. You made Call Of Halo 4, no one wants that we want HALO 4. I want to feel like I’m playing halo, is that so much hard to ask even considering that you WORKED with bungie?

2- don’t play it
3- sell the game
