This is just a fun thread to list game features we have lost from previous games or will be missing from Halo 4. Nothing serious so no flaming or hate-spewing thanks What do you miss that we have lost?
The biggest thing we lostā¦
Warthog launching
Hereās my top 10:
Sword dodging
Slide jumping
Chopper
Hornet
Jump height
Stealth
Brute shot
Burial mounds map
Ninja jump backwards over enemy for assassination
Ghost fuel tank one shot kill
Honourable mentions from from other replies:
Dual wielding
Slow down effect on CE plasma rifle
Clans & competitive play
Controversial mentions
BXR & Button combos
Sword/rocket extreme lunge (like across the map lunge)
Superbouncing
Flag dropping & carrier waypoint
Not such a bitchy, whiny, douchey etc. community of fans
We lost extra ammo lying on the map (rockets/sniper) which was awesome and added more in game objectives for a team to try and control. Which to me equals alot better gameplay.

I feel as though people undermine the positive impact of power weapon indicators on screen, with more ārandomā drops. In my opinion, it seems like this will lead to better encounters, as teams will have to coordinate and fight off foes going for the same objective (a weapon to get the upper hand), think first rocket struggle on the pit every match, but for every power weapon spawn. Also, less camping on weapons spawns, both benefit gameplay.
On topic, we lost Mark V, my favorite and I will also personally miss the needle rifle, even though Iām very excited to use the carbine once more.

I just meant in Reach it was very rare to land it, where in Halo 3 you could.
I expect with Halo 4 and the faster movement and higher jumps ninjaās will make a glorious return.

I shall miss the above ones too.
The plasma rifle slow down was just awesome in CE, start it right and circle strafe for a flawless kill but mess it up and itās your -Yoink-.
The Flag dropping and waypoint concern me. I could live with the waypoint if I could drop the flag. I could live with no dropping without the waypoint. Forcing both together in CTF seems like a strange setting for me.
I still find myself sweep sniping at times, old habits.

Plasma slow down was so freaking awesome. Just added to the coolness of using a covenant weapon.
Not trying to start a CTF debate but I just donāt understand not being able to drop the flagā¦ like I understand 343i wanting to make Halo ātheirsā but I feel like changing CTF that drastically is just not a smart choice. I feel like the new CTF will result in a whole lot of ties up until the final flag is captured by the team that just happens to luckily get to their base quicker. Iāll stay optimistic about H4 but Iād be lying if I said it didnāt worry me with all these changes to gameplay.
I feel you about sweep sniping. I catch myself doing it in Reach too often haha.
Doing a ninja with thruster packā¦ Omg I canāt wait to figure out how to effectively do that. Imagine running away and the person starts running after you. You stop and thruster pack back and land just behind them and assassinate them. I dream.

This is exactly why Iām excited for thruster pack most. Just seems like youāll be able to do far more interesting things with it than any other ability.

I gotta agree, the ammo only packs made for some fun tactical gameplay.
What do you miss that we have lost?
