I love the Halo series to death, but halo 4 ended up being a disappointment. It doesn’t hold your attention, the gameplay is great, but it is easy to get bored and switch games. Anyways, watch this, tell me what you think, and if you think Halo can come back, we need to make it happen. Halo is too good to die.
“I always try to get that 50 man. And when I got that 50, that was it man.”
Rank like SR:1-130 means nothing.
The real reason Halo 4 is lacking is…
COD BO 2. If I had that game I wouldn’t even play Halo 4 anymore. And those that do have COD BO-2 play nothing else. I check my friends list of those who played Halo 4 and they are either playing CODBO or Skyrum. Send them a message “Lets play some Halo 4” - One responded. “Dude, are you serious? Pop in CODBO 2 and play a real game.”
So I went to YT and watched the complete walkthrough for COD BO-2 campaign.
WOW!
So is Halo 4 not being played as much? Yes, and for good reason which absolutely has nothing to do with a ranking system, nor the lack thereof.
This makes me sad face…
But it’s whatever.
I know I’ll keep playing Halo 4 anyway.
I just can’t stand CoD BO2. It’s so boring!
Even if Halo 4 isn’t the Halo it should be, it’s still Halo enough for me.

halo 4 is exactly the halo it needs to be. halo has always evolved and changed. as a game should. just because people are blinded by nostalgia or are just stubborn is no reason to keep a game completely stagnant. CoDBO2 plays the same as all the iterations before it which is why i dont play it. if someone doesnt want to play halo 4 then dont. simple as that.
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW OP…
Halo 4 was nothing more than a $60 beta…Either work with it, or, get over it and move on…

They aren’t stubborn or nostalgic if they think it works better. Its people like you that misunderstand the others complaints as nostalgia. Do I think Halo 4 is a bad game? No. Do i think Halo 3 was better? You bet your -Yoink- I do! I just think the gameplay, matchmaking layout, forge, theater and customs were revolutionary for their time. Give Halo 3 the new weapons from Halo 4, the forge from Reach, maybe it’s file browser and UI as well the active roster. Other than that i think Halo 3 was perfect.
It was always fun for me, Halo 4 isn’t always fun for me and i attribute this to 3 things
1)Lack of Ranked and Social playlists to separate clans from casuals.
2)Lack of weapon balance in a class based system.
3)The freakin’ lag!!!

well personally halo 3 was fun but had plenty of problems of its own. and its still true that halo needs to keep changing and evolving cuz its practically the only shooter that does anymore. plus H4 still feels like halo and is a pretty amazing game. and the reason i say its nostalgia is because most people started in 3. personally i started in ce and heck id love a 360 version of that to play online just the way it was cuz to me it was “perfect”.

While I will agree with on the lag. (Major in game hick up)
Why have a ranking system? Is it so you and/or your “Clan” can brag about killing a higher ranked opponent “Clan” than yourself(s) while attempting to prevent noobs from having the same bragging rights over killing you?
Don’t be shy. Help me to understand your reasoning for wanting a ranking system.
Weapons IMHO are balanced. You take into combat what that map and the situations which may occur in it demands. Combat tactics. You have 5 loadouts ready to do. You get killed because your weapons can’t reach out there and touch someone. You hit Y before spawning and choose another loadout. But now you spawn and red/blue has overrun your base to the point of close quarter combat. Unlucky you!

Funny you say that actually. No I don’t want ranked and social for my “clan” as you say. I actually hate clans or over competitive groups. Yes I am competitive myself, but I also like having fun, but the clans and groups that take the game way too seriously, ruin the game for people who aren’t as competitive as they are. Halo 3 had the brilliant system of keeping these people separate.
The only problem I have with balancing is the DMR which only needs a little tweaking.
Yes I can see where you are coming from with the loadouts and spawns, but I never had that issue in other Halos until Reach.
