Halo sucks compared to its high profile competition.
But it was Settler that made it completely unplayable for me.
I could write a list of other tings that suck about the game as long as your arm
too.
I just had 3 matches on Reach that were ok. When I put in 4 I got stuck in Settler so I left the match and then got stuck there again so I played for as long as I could bear it. My estimate about 3 minutes.
Settler -Yoinking!- sucks.
Halo doesn’t have any competition. There are no other high profile sci-fi shooters. Just generic copy-paste “modern military shooters” which is a different type of game entirely.
If you hate Settler then don’t play BTB.

To me a fps is a fps but I see your point about the sci fi theme which I like too.
Unfortunately for me btb is the only game type I enjoy and I wasn’t joking about how much I loathe that map. Its a deal breaker for me. May the great gaming Gods hurry up and do a sci fi copy of the generic copy-paste military shooters lol.

Dominion is very similar to BTB except it’s objective based and it doesn’t have Settler.
As for new sci-fi shooters. Well you’ve got Halo 5 next year and Bungie’s new game Destiny which pretty much looks like a copy of Halo.

I don’t like objectives I like killing lol and I fear Destiny may be more border lands then Halo.
Halo 5 remains the sci fi hope. If it doesn’t have 4,s monstrous lag we get in Aus that will be an instant improvement.
I win objective games all the time by doing nothing but killing. It’s easy to win objective games when someone on the team keeps the enemy dead after all.
I’m not a huge fan of what I’ve seen from Destiny so far either, but it seems to be giving everyone else boners. Oh well.
The lag isn’t really Halo 4’s fault. Compared to Halo 3 I have WAY less lag and I live in the middle of the US. I lag about as much in H4 as I do in any other online xbox games. H3 on the other hand did in fact have bad netcode that caused a lot of lag outside of just connection related issues.
Actually, while Settler isn’t the best map, its far from the worse BTB map…
I find Complex and Meltdown the worst BTB maps…
