The most disappointing thing about H4...

Is not the COD-ified MM or the Campaign. It is the graphics and the animations. Why do guns an bodies disappear so fast in this game? Why does Reach look more appealing than Halo 4 does? Why is the animation not as good as it was in Reach? Why are there invisible barriers that stick out beyond the visible barriers surrounding various structures on the levels? Bungie always took care of the little things as far as animation and graphics go. 343i tried too hard to make the graphics look good but to me it looks worse. They tried to hard to make good graphics and they over looked minor graphical things Bungie never did. Good graphics makes things look papery. I expect much better from 343i when Halo 5 comes out.

On a happier note, the vehicles have the best movement of all the Halos except for the Banshee. And there are tons of things I love about this game but this is my biggest complaint besides the lack of custom game options.

Agreed, but let’s not forget the art design. I still can’t get over how dumb (most) the spartan armor looks. And the fiasco with the emblems? What was that about?

Iknow,Iknow–“It’s a new company and they want to put their stamp on it/take it in a new direction.” That doesn’t make it right.

I completely agree. The assassinations aren’t nearly as satisfying as they were in Reach, it’s very “choppy.”

I actually Disagree with you here. They are good in both games(at least from what I have experienced which is limited) but in Halo Reach the air assination was in slo mo which looked really fake.

But yeah certain animations are very choppy in this game

Thats what you get when you rush a video game that will be an attempt at satisfying 7 million consumers.

We only got two years of Reach which wasn’t enough. Halo 4 should have been released a year from last november.

wow well about the only reedeming thing for me about Halo 4 is that its pure eye candy just my opinion. Spartan armor sucks, female spartan, JiP, killcams, no rank, 2 plasmas, no ranks, rotational playlists, DMR, JiP, Boltshot, JiP, Maps, ordnance, active camo as AA, instant respawn and JiP really suck though.

Welll it does have better graphics but it just doesn’t looks as good to me as all the other halos have.

The phantom kills are the most disappointing thing for me. Even after after watching the films, i still cant see how I die sometimes.

Give them Time. I blame most of this on that God forsaken damn Infinity challenge. IMO its the worst thing to ever happen to halo. It pulled 343 away from us and they payed less attention but look at what we have to look foreward to after its over. Brand new playlists, new spartan ops episodes, and a TU. thats all that I asked for.

Now its time to fix the file browser, add action sack, and well they are kinda adding community slayer with forge test so.

I’am going back to Reach, way too many bugs NEED fixing on this game! Reach played a lot smoother and it felt like it was worth playing, even down to the commendations felt like you had achieved something! Also like you mentioned attention to detail, zoom in on big maps and things just dont appear (or if they do there grainy!) playlists suck too!
Really disapointed with the game!

It feels like 343 really strained the system too far. The game looks fantastic, but some features lose their functionality because of it. Weapons rapidly disappearing is a good example. Plus, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m getting massive framerate drops in BTB because system can’t seem to render everything going on.

I’d rather have a game that looks a little dated than have to put up with things like disappearing objects and choppy framerate.

Yes. Smooth is not how this game runs. I am not sure if it they can TU it to fix it or not but it certainly needs fixing.

Exactly. I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed all of this.

Look guys It seems that not all of you are very keen with Change. The majority of the community Likes halo 4 believe it or not. They have also learned to accept change. so weather you do or not is not my decision but you cant keep living in the past. Your choice

This tired old argument. You wish all of H4’s problems could be reduced to fans not wanting change. Denial.

uhhhhhh what? Halo 4 has the best graphics i’ve seen in video games.

Im not In denial I Really enjoy halo 4 and out of what I have seen the majority of people started to be like this ever since they started changing things. like where it began with reach and how it didnt look like 3 or armor abilities dont belong in halo its the same thing every time Its change.

So are you telling me that change is not the problem with you because it sounds like it is the problem with everyone else

Let’s just save some time with this thread and say everything was disappointing.

All blame on MS for forceing them to rush it.
