I have been playing the Halo franchise since H2 and have put in thousands of hours and have enjoyed every Halo game released to date with H3 being the best. When I heard they were bringing all them back I was thrilled as most of the shooters released lately have been dismal. This experience has followed down the same path and left a bad taste in my mouth. I have had nothing but problems with this game. I cant load the Beta, game freezes up mid play, lag, cant play big team battle and my searches usually take 5+ minutes to find a game.(BTW these are not connection issues) Not what I’m looking for in an online gameplay. Here are a few major issues I find with the experience
Why does no one use Mics anymore??? Halo was always a team game and using mics only enhanced the team play
Never a safe spawn(H2 AE) I always seem to spawn right in the middle of the action and most times I’m killed without taking a step
Need ranking to work. What is the point of ranking if your are playing against people with ranks far higher. It takes the fun out of the game when you are total cannon fodder for guys just padding their K/D
Not sure if I will just give up on Halo or wait and hope that 343 fixes some issues.
