#ReviveTheFight

Edit: Mods moved the thread, even though it is about Halo 3 and Halo 4. If you are on the Halo 3 section, you most likely already know about the attempt to revive Halo 3.

Today (April 8th), we will try to temporarily boost the Halo 3 population to send 343i a message that we are not happy with their product. All you guys that are not particularly fond of Halo 4 or are disappointed with the direction that Halo 4 has taken, this is your chance to make a difference.

We are doing this, not because we are blind Halo CE-3 fanboys, but because we love Halo and we feel that Halo 4 hasn’t stayed true to the Halo formula. We feel that Halo 4 is not a true successor to the Halo franchise, but more of a bastardisation of Halo Reach.

Today is our chance to send 343i a message on how we think Halo 4 should have been designed. This does not mean we want a Halo 3 clone, we want a game that builds off a formula that works and has worked for a decade.

Halo Reach’s forge was amazing, but very bland in terms of colour schemes, it needed a few tweaks but it was awesome nonetheless. Halo 4 has not built off of this, but instead downgraded it and kept the same bland colours. Forge Island is nice and all, but we still have an inferior Forge in comparison to Reach.

Halo 3’s custom games were outstanding, but they definitely needed refining and some improvements. Halo Reach and Halo 4 have both failed to improve our custom game experiences. With Halo 4 almost completely butchering it.

Halo 3’s theatre mode, is still to date probably the best theatre mode in any console game. Both Halo Reach and Halo 4 have both limited Theatre modes usage. Where is the Campaign/Spartan Ops theatre mode at? I don’t know if we have theatre for Forge and I won’t check because today is Halo 3 day.

Halo 3’s multi-player is a refined version of Halo 2’s, so arguably Halo 3 has the best multi-player in Halo. Whether or not you argee with this, it makes no difference, but what I’m saying is, why would we move so far away from a formula that worked?

Bungie may not have listened to much community feedback, but they atleast knew what Halo was. Not everyone agreed with what Bungie thought Halo was, but they got it right on more than one occasion. Halo Reach may not have been a great game, but it still had a few great innovations.

So please, for the sake of Halo, come join us on Halo 3 today. I know CSR has launched and there is a new map-pack but we are doing this out of love for the franchise.

Mods: This is technically about Halo 4.

There have been too many threads created about this already. In case you haven’t realized, every one of them is marked as spam and gets annoying to us trying to sort a decent thread from the pointless rants.

All that’s doing is ignoring the problem, which is Halo 4 itself. 343i already knows your dissatisfaction with the game, you don’t need to leave the game to prove that to them. What does that accomplish? A (theoretically) lower Halo 4 population counter without any constructive criticism, working towards any goal or getting anything done. Rather than dividing the community up any more than it already is, the best thing you can do is organize groups dedicated to reaching out to 343i, or populating playlists that you enjoy in Halo 4 to show what works with the community, rather than ignoring them as a false sign of protest. If you ignore them, why should they pay attention to you?

Don’t do this boycott. All you’re doing is perpetuating the cycle of complaining with no substance, no construction, no ideas, no help, and all that does is make us not look worth the time it takes to listen. You’re only hurting your own cause brought about by irrational anger at 343i, not love for Halo. If you loved Halo, then you would help them help you, not protest them.

Already gone, playing Halo 3. gg.

Implying that this is a rant. This is a thread trying to repopulate the Halo 3 servers for a day. Which we have already agreed on, in another post. But I’m bringing it to the the attention of people who don’t use Halo 3’s forum.

H3 the most boring and worst game in the franchise, no thanks I’ll stick to diverse and dynamic gameplay in H4.

Have you not seen ALL the threads, trying to fix Halo 4?
No, well go read them. We have suggested multiple ways to fix this game… multiple times. There are threads talking about every aspect of this game.

We are being listened to. But they aren’t implementing the changes that are actually needed. A competitive playlist is good, but the game itself has hardly any competitive nature. Ordnance, Load-Outs etc are not good. That is just multi-player.

“Dynamic”. By that you mean random. Ok, enjoy it.

10

By all means, go for it.

However, I don’t think 343i or Bungie track the Halo 3 population any more so I believe this will all be for nothing.

Lol. Halo 4 is down to 35,000 max a day. I think we should stop tracking Halo 4.

Halo 4 has 35,000 at it’s peak. It probably has a population of 50k per day.

That said, it is still poor for a Halo game.

Edit: @Blibinator Halo 3 has a 24 hour population counter.

Why not? No other forms of communicating with 343 seem to work.

Didn’t we ask them to improve DLC launch problems with LE or season pass buyers already? Twice?

I’ll play Halo 3 just to have some big team CTF again :slight_smile:

Good man!

Was Halo 4 the first Halo game you played?

16

I’d play but I’d rather play a better game in Halo 4. Halo 3’s BR is just bad and the aim acceleration is just wrong. Halo 3 was hands down the worst game in the original trilogy.

Boring is Spartan Ops that´s boring.

I respect your opinion, but I never said the game was perfect.

Halo 3 had a formula that worked, regardless of the problems it had. It retained a large portion of it’s player base for 3 years.
