No matter how hard you hold you alway’s gotta let go. If you dont like this game like me then let go. The Halo me and you grew up with is gone. The days of AR start’s and map control are gone. I dont regret anything From Halo CE to 3 I had so many good memories , Carrying my tv over to my friend’s house to play CE and First getting Live With Halo 2 . The Halo I grew up with is gone. I dont get any good memories outta Halo 4 . If you dont like it like me let go . Halo is now for the new generation of kid’s heck im 28 now , I cant play as much anymore and I’m sure if 343is did make it like we wanted it there would be less players. If you enjoy Halo 4 , I’m glad I hope it bring’s you as good memories as CE - 3 Brung me. I’m not raging here I’m being honest. Have fun with Halo 5 & 6. Halo just isn’t for me anymore, I gotta family to bring up and from the days of Halo 2 I’ve grown up .

P.S Good Luck 343i’s :slight_smile:

It’s a sad day.

I’d rage at the punctuation, but I realized that you’re not being an impudent little kid. Good luck with your family, man.

> It’s a sad day.

I quit Last week I play Halo 3 every now and then But nothing will ever replace Halo for me. I’m just trying to get people to stop bashing 343i’s the style they want and I wanted is gone . Arena doesn’t sell anymore and even if Halo 4 was like CE-3 i never get a chance to play it anymore anyway and nor would many of the fans since CE.

Thanks I really appreciate it , me , my wife and little girl all moved house last week and we’re just settling it. As for gaming Ill probably retire . I had a good run Halo CE - 3 defined my gaming childhood. I’m glad I got a chance to play and experience them.

The right call is to try to appeal to campaign and firefight players at once with one single experimental game mode?

All they’re doing is leaving the campaign neglected and screwing firefight by leaving out game changing options. Spartan Ops starts off interesting but then it gets boring real fast. I was full of enthusiasm for Episode 7, 8, and 9 at their release but now all that’s gone and nothing’s left but misery.

So, they made the right “call” by leaving out a local only search option and making the game unplayable for everybody living outside the US?

I meant gameplay wise they made the right call I didn’t realise about that sorry. Maybe it will be fixed later?

This right here is undeniable proof that they made the wrong decision.

this is hilarious

13

I want to agree with you but it just sounds so whiny.

14

That’s a very mature and reasonable viewpoint. We’re both the same age and it sounds like we’ve had similar experiences with the series; one of my most memorable gaming recollections is starting CE’s campaign on Legendary with a friend and having to bring the Xbox to several different places throughout the day until we finished. I also got Live exclusively to play Halo 2.

The only difference is I think Halo 4 is the best in the series. I’m not afraid of change and I’m not trying to recapture my “childhood glory days” (I still play NES for that). It also helps that even though I’ve been hardcore into Halo since day one I’ve been a hardcore gamer before and during, so I don’t have tunnel vision of a game needing X, Y, and Z to be Halo and threfore a “good” game.

I also don’t understand the concept of “retiring” from gaming simply because it’s a hobby I’ve enjoyed for over twenty years. There’s no way one single game I didn’t care for, or two or three or a hundred, would ever stop me from playing altogether. If anything I can’t wait to retire from my real job so I have more time to play. But hey, to each their own; good luck with your life.

If they made the right call then you wouldn’t have even needed to make this Thread.

16

You have noble 6 in your name. I’m done.

Says who? Who has actually tried to sell an arena shooter in the last year or two?

HA

If they made the right call, Halo 4 wouldn’t be doing so poorly.

Halo would sell just as much as an Arena shooter as what it is now - Halo has built up a strong fan base over the years and is now selling because of the name on the cover. The game changes so much with every release that people no longer know what to expect.

they didn’t make the right call, though. they really didn’t. What they tried to do was make a game that appealed to those that played COD to persuade them to play Halo instead. They tried to appeal to the masses with all the gimmicks, loadouts, and commendations within the game. They abandoned What made Halo, Halo. they did this all so that more would play their game, and their fan base would increase, thus knocked COD off the charts, or at least to a lower spot.

what they forgot, apparently, is that Halo players hate COD. We played Halo because it was different than that horrid class based, low skill gap shooter. We played Halo because it wasn’t driven by K/D and maxing out your commendation, but by working hard to get a higher rank, and improving your skills. We played this game because it was more rewarding than COD.

When they essentially turned this game into a COD rehash, to compete with a COD rehash, they lost their core fanbase. They alienated everyone who played this game because it wasn’t COD, to try to win a few players over from it. But again, they didn’t realize that those who play COD do it because it’s easy, quick, and established. They play it because they have been playing it, and have no reason to switch to Halo.

see, in trying to win over players from a competing franchise they lost their core fanbase, thus dropping the numbers considerably. Now that they are seeing that they will never be able to take the core fanbase away from the competition, they realize they’re screw up. It’s my bet that Halo 5 will be much more like CE-3 because of this realization. but at that point, it might be too late.

At any rate, I’m happy for you. giving up gaming is something none of us ever really want to do, but your family comes first. And that’s awesome that you can accept your responsibility. Good luck man, hope to see you a bit around when H5 comes out, but if not, have a good life.
