The Five stages of Denial

Games Other Halo
1

Denial: “It can’t be happening” (Seeing Halo 4 MM info for the first time.)

Anger: “Why me? It’s not fair” (Playing Halo 4 MM.)

Bargaining: “Just let me live to see my children graduate” (What many “old school”

Halo players are at, however 343 have shown no sighs of caring.)

Depression: “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?” (Full understanding of Halo 4’s

MM and Campaign.)

Acceptance: “It’s going to be OK.” (Stopped playing halo 4 and moved on)

The facts are the Halo we knew and loved died when Bungie left.

So, “so long and thanks for all the fish!”

What

Oh I’m good then I do not give a crap about MP at all and campaign feels like halo

4

I think you’re in denial that you can’t accept change.

Halo 4 campaign story in my opinion was excellent.

The Bad stuff:

  • The join in progress feature.
  • Glitches with main menu after games of matchmaking.
  • Spartan Ops challenge not working.
  • Freezing of screen 20 seconds before putting you into an already started game.
  • Campaign audio at times does not continue while subtitles do.
  • Statistics not correctly appearing in Service Record.

You guys screwed up by not having a BETA for multiplayer and it is showing. No other Halo game has had this many problems on a lunch day and the days to follow. Oh, and not to mention the issues people had with playing matchmaking period on day one.

Either 343 is only interested in counting the moolah and current numbers on the game or just flat out don’t care.

Someone’s mad.

Bye! Don’t let the door hit you on the -Yoink- on the way out!

Every Halo has had launch problems. The servers always get overloaded with people and 343 needs a little time to correct and do you think Bungie really cared when they LEFT us and gave us Reach?

In my opinion, it died with Halo: Reach, not necessarily when it was passed on to 343i.

10

Hahahaha thanks you’ve made me realize they’re not gonna fix it anyways so who cares

11

I’m currently at Bargaining, 343 seriously needs to put in a gametype that is reminiscent of Halo 2/3.

Reach BTB wasn’t that bad, although the rest of the gametypes left much to be desired. The forge was outstanding too. All of the forge maps on this are horrible, and too small to make a decent racetrack or survival map on.

12

Personally, I love this game, me and my mate had a blast playin campaign earlier, MM is fun and competitive, and overall good game except forge and custom games but fair enough, don’t like it don’t play it…

13

Change is good when the changes they make are undeniably better, in this case they most certainly are not.

14

I don’t get it. You obviously want to say that Halo 4 is a great game, and maybe the best Halo to date, in the SP as well as in the MP, but somehow what you write does not really bring that message across…

15

Yes Bungie messed up with reach but I still believe we all had high hopes for Halo 4, I know I did.

Never have their been such problems on launch day such as this.

  • I have never seen with a Bungie game campaign audio dropping out?
  • What about your stats in campaign not counting?
  • You get the main menu theme after a game and are stuck there with no way to leave it?
  • What about the join in progress feature dumping you into a CTF game when the scores are 4-0 other team leading?

You may be the lucky one who hasn’t experienced any of this in H4, but others have and we aren’t going to sit back and just prey that 343 will fix them without us telling them what we are experiencing.

This is a forum and stating what is occurring is a given.

Amen to that brother, high hopes quickly diminished. What a shame.

18

Then leave.

Many of us are love the game and understand that 343i is trying its best to fix problems.

If you are going to be so dramatic about it, go take a nap and buzz off.
We’ll enjoy the game, and the work 343 continues to do to improve the experience, while at the same time, being thankful for what they have done so far.
