Im sorry for another post like this,but this game is a CoD copy cat. Halo use to be all about starting out evenly with advantage or disadvantage. Now it has custom classes,session joining,care package drops and sprinting. To me this is not Halo, Halo use to be about REAL skill where all players started out the same where if someone did well they actually had bragging rights. Now it’s like when someone does well it’s because of a Ordinance drop they called in and just camped with it. This takes place in almost every playlist. The only difference between this game and Reach is it has a BR and a DMR and HAlo Reach was the biggest Halo fail of all time and this game will soon follow if 343 does not change some things up. The maps are trash the servers are terrible the weapons need some update’s. Also it would be a good idea if I could prefer what country I play against because I’m pretty tired of getting matched up with people with a foreign host and that don’t speak english. I expect this post to get frowned upon but I’m not just speaking for myself I’m speaking for a lot of my friends that have been Halo fan’s since the saga began. Something needs to be done.
Halo 4 is actually far worse than Reach ever was.
At least Reach had weapons on the map and no random weapon drops for doing pretty much nothing.
No instant respawn also.

I just went back and played Reach again, to see if I was just kidding myself.
I wasn’t. I really wasn’t. I’ll be staying with the REAL Spartans and their multiplayer, not the uber ‘cool’ high sci-fi things trying to be Spartans with the inferior multiplayer system.
The graphics might not be as sharp and the controls/responses a tad slower…but it’s Halo. Halo like it’s meant to be and used to be.

To be moronic requires him to be a moron, i.e. stupid.
What he is saying is opinion. It’s an opinion others, myself included, share.
You can disagree, but that doesn’t make him a moron. That just makes you rather arrogant.
The custom classes are more balanced than COD’s. In COD, you can spawn in with a rocket launcher, but in Halo 4 you can’t. Session joining is one of the best things they could have done with Halo. I can find a game in Halo 4 faster than I can in CODBO2. Unlike Cod’s overpowered killstreaks, in Halo 4 you can earn power weapons, grenades, or powerups. Sprinting is another great addition, because it was extremely annoying to walk into battle.
How does personal ordnance occur in almost every playlist? It only happens in infinity slayer. Halo Reach was not the biggest Halo fail; Halo 3’s multiplayer was. Halo 4 is the best Halo game ever! If you think that Halo 4 is a failure, you apparently hate Halo and fun.

Oh, wow, another person stating opinion like it’s fact…Pardon me while I fetch the bucket.
Halo 3 and Reach lacked, let’s see, instant respawn and all the lemming/zerg rushing that encourages, kill-cams which negate the point of trying to find a good sniping spot… I’m not comparing them to CoD because, what the hell, ALL games copy from other games sometime or eventually. But I do question whether changing Halo so radically was for the better. I certainly had more fun on H3 and Reach. But, of course, that runs counter to your ‘fact’ of me being an obvious fun hater, hm?

It is a fact that Halo 4 is the best Halo ever.I hate it when people look at a fact and say that it is an opinion.

Hahah, oh damn. I just got trolled, didn’t I? Well played, well played indeed.
Halo is just adding new elements to the game. It still has a lot more options than COD will ever have in its yearly game releases. Just wait for the classic playlists to come by.
You may not like the new gameplay, but some people actually do, even me. Even new people joined the fray of playing some Halo.
My point is that 343 isn’t taking away classic Halo, its stacking new stuff onto Halo, keeping the classic and adding new to experiment something that evolves Halo. Just wait for the classic playlists to come by. You wont be disappointed!
I was never a fan of Reach… at all, but I can say that at this point Reach is a better game. With the right patches, and fixes where they’re needed, Halo 4 could be farrr better then Reach though.

No it isn’t.

Pretty hypocritical. You literally criticize his opinion for being presented as a fact, and then turn around and do the same thing in the same post.
Anyways, Halo 4 keeps some of the old Arena gameplay in the objective modes (minus Dominion, although the bases in that gamemode promote the same map control that Arena games do).
Halo 4 isn´t the Halo I love and want. But despite the downsides, and annoyances. I´m still able to have fun playing it.

Too bad classic Halo has already been taken away.You can’t “stack new stuff” without affecting something.
Lord. Everyone says the same things every new Halo game.
Might as well ignore posts like this when 5 and 6 come out too.
If you have ever played CoD or have even watched a video of it, you can tell instantly that Halo is not CoD. Please check reality and then try again.

People who compare and say ‘OMG, Halo is leik CoD naow, fail!!!1’ are idiots. CoD didn’t invent FPS gaming (nor did Halo, for that matter).
That said, there are aspects of Halo 4 that have never before been in a Halo game. That, in and of itself, is not a problem. It’s when those aspects (such as instant respawn) are jammed into every possible mode, and there is no option for a ‘bit like the last game that you can have a halfway house with’ that there is a problem.
At first I thought Halo 4 was better. In certain areas, like control responsiveness and graphics, yes, it IS superior. But I dislike the complete change of pace, the suicidal rushing on nearly every single game mode. If there were game-types that, y’know, rewarded slower pacing, stealth and tactics (like Reach did in my opinion) then it wouldn’t be a problem.
Who knows, maybe this will become less a problem as new maps come out and patches are put in. I certainly hope so. But, right now, I’m simply not having fun with Halo 4. Which is a shame.
Halo 4 is better than reach because it brings some returns of the halo 2/3 mechanics. But these are just token gestures really. Halo as we knew it is dead. It died in reach. Someone said halo 3 was terrible. Wtf is wrong with them. Sure it had some changes from 2 that where not well received (not speaking about the equipment mind you), but atleast it didn’t butcher the underlying mechanics to emulate other popular fps’
