Terrible spawning (in SWAT I spawn next to the opposite teams many times and get screwed and die)
There’s lots of lag spikes in games and I have good internet connection so obviously the host or main connection is really bad sometimes and makes the game less enjoyable.
The combat system was really annoying to get used to. I feel the skill of a Halo player has now vanished, for instance, back in previous Halo games I could turn around after being shot at from behind and still have a chance to beat the opposing player, now that is extremely difficult after the enemy has already gotten 2 shots on me…
I’m not sure what to really blame but whenever I play Halo I don’t enjoy it like I used to and it’s really sad to see the game switch companies and then become in my opinion, stupid.
Yeah it’s easy to say “Well don’t play it then.” But after supporting Halo and loving to play it like I used to, I don’t want to give it up to silly reasons but it really isn’t that great anymore.
And also; 343 should get some contact info going or a complaint box because they are really annoying
"Halo 4 is a good game, but it is not a good halo game.
So I’m playing halo 3 right right now and I’m typing this out on my iphone 5. This thing is it’s taking forever to write out because I’m finding matches a lot quicker than I do in halo 4. Halo 3 is rocking 10,000 + right now and I’m having loads of fun. Ok got to go back in a game… Annnnnd I’m back. God that was awesome. Ok back to what I was saying, halo 4 basically sucks. I’m sure this have been done before but I’m just going to make a list of what made halo an AMAZING multiplayer experience.
At the start of the game everyone rushed for the power weapons. After a few minuets each team tries to control the power weapon spawns. (CRITICAL)
There was no stupid flinch mechanic
No random ordnance, no Cod point ordnance
Everyone started the game the EXACTLY the same (CRITICAL)
No boltshot, no jet pack, no Dmr, no AAs, no custom classes, no game ruining sprint
No cod perks.
Infection is fun. Playing Jenga was awesome
Vehicle were actually useful (worthog is a beast)
Proximity chat was awesome
Maps are actually good
No super auto aim assist (CRITICAL)
No grenade indicators
The X
Medals stayed on the screen for more than a second and served more of a purpose. Medals looked pretty.
I could drop the flag and not accidentally pick it up.
To sum it all up, 343 took halo and made it into the noobiest (if that’s even a word) game I have played next to cod. Wait what am I saying, halo 4 is cod.
I honestly love seeing halo 4s population go down every week. And I think it is hysterical that microsoft signed a deal with virgins only win gaming for this stupid tournament. I really want to like halo 4 but its just god awful in its current state.
What is there to discuss? Do you think 343 needs it add/take away some of the features above in order for halo 4 to be good?
Well back to halo 3. Flame on. Please feel free to leave a comment.
MODS- THIS TREAD IS MEANT FOR THE HALO 4 FORUM NOT HALO 3 FORUM
JPD354 has spoken.
Edit: I came in with a fresh mindset; I gave halo 4 two months. The things 343 added made halo a nooby experience. They didn’t add the things they did to make halo better but just to make it easier to play. After 10 years of halo, I can say I hate the new “halo” if you can even call it that."
I agree with every point. But also, it’s more than becoming CoD… It’s also World of Warcraft with hellhounds, it’s starfox when going through a mission and having to fly and dodge crap and all that, it’s star wars also in that aspect. Halo 4 is an okay-good game, but by no means is this a game that is Halo.
When will people just learn to accept that just because they don’t like a game, doesn’t mean it’s bad? I don’t really like Mass Effect, but you don’t hear me calling it a bad game. I’d have to be braindead.
