I am sure there have been many forum posts about this already, but I haven’t been on the forums in a while since mostly it is just people flaming the game for this reason or that and saying it is the end of Halo as we know it. Not constructive criticism at all. I will agree, I have many, many beefs with Halo 4 but I do find it an awesome game.
So, as the topic says, let’s talk about the boltshot and active camo.
The Boltshot
I really believe the boltshot needs either a huge nerf, though I fear it would become worthless, or needs to become an ordinance/map drop, which I fear would make it worthless. It is just ridiculous that you can spawn with a weapon, that except for rate of fire, is so much better than a shotgun. You should not ever be able to spawn with a one hit kill weapon. Ever.
Active Camo
This is another armor ability, in a long list of them, that just ruin the pace of the game and playstyle of Halo. Not only does it encourage lame playstyle it is also super powerful. Even if it has the downside of the random map indicators, the player becomes too invisible, the camo fades way too fast, and it last way too long. This combined with things like the boltshot makes gameplay on most maps horrendous.
Side Note
In a more traditional style of flaming, F Promethean Vision. Who’s idea was it to take a staple of Halo gameplay? Waiting around a corner for that precise moment to get the jump on your opponent, or when running away provide a safe space when you lose them, and it get rid of it with a AA that lets you see through walls. Really? I hate entering a match, getting a good position to play from, and hearing BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP as four enemies use PM and you are boned.
Sorry for the Wall of Text. Any comments or thoughts?
