The Decline Of Halo 4

Games Other Halo
1

Back in Novemeber of 2012 Halo 4 was released to positive reviews and had over millions of players log on to xbox live at launch which is typically a very good start for a brand new game, but then days passed and the population went into decline and is currently at 18,234 players. The top 5 reasons behind this i will explain now.

  1. Lack of file browser at launch- why was the file browser broken at launch, the file browser had to launch in like january, we couldn’t share our stuff onto that game we couldn’t that really kills the community experience

  2. Custom Games Were Terrible and lack of large Forge Maps- Custom Games were barren and broken flood mode was obsolete in custom games because flood couldn’t carry guns that means no cops n robbers, ghostbusters, and skycastle, and forge maps were hard to build on because of the map sizes

  3. Theater- Ugh when can i start you guys have only multiplayer support on theater that’s terrible, though theater has some really cool multiplayer support but wheres the campaign support oh wait i remember you guys said you can’t implement theater in campaign BUT a modder has actually did this i will post links of proof on that

  4. No real skill based rank- Halo 3 had this in the ranked playlists and Halo Reach had this in the arena, Halo 4 was lacking this and still is and no CSR is not a real skill based rank it is garbage you can’t even view it when you are playing your game you can only view it on waypoint no skill based rank means that your game is just jump in jump out for casuals

  5. Lack of Game Modes- This is my last topic but halo 4 has lack of game modes race mode that you claimed you created recently actually already exists in the game’s code before you started talking about it in fact race has been played by nearly everyone before you debuted it, and mini slayer hackers actually released it very early in the lifecycle of halo 4 and when you said that “lucky indidviduals went into our studio and played mini slayer for the first time” and people already downloaded it into their consoles.

These are my 5 points on this game i’m not saying this game is terrible these problems would’ve been fixed if MS gave you more time i really hope you guys at 343 really take this into consideration and improve your next halo game on the xbox one and I’m not mad I’m just stating criticism here to improve that is all you all have a great day :slight_smile:

Suggestion: Get rid of the words “garbage”, “modders” and “hackers” on your post, or it is going to get moderated and locked.

Halo 4 is a pretty great game now. It’s obvious they didn’t finish it in time. So whatever their next game is will likely be a lot better.

Well you guys haven’t changed in the time I’ve been away from the Halo 4 forums.

Overall they have improved the game since launch, so the title is bit misleading. But I do have to say the change that really hurt them was putting Infinity Slayer/Team Slayer/Legendary Slayer against each other in the playlists. I hate Infinity Slayer and I always have to play for it cause other players vote for it. If only they had a regular team slayer playlist with Slayler/CTF/KOTH/Oddball gametypes in it so I could play halo without AA’s and all the randomness.
