Been a Halo fan since Xbox Connect. Loved all of the series [except Reach] Halo 4 has the potential to be the 2nd best!!!
Here’s some basis of which to improve if I was 343 Industries;
*Low pop
*Throwing u into a lobby almost done with current game
*Cheating cheating cheating
*Map selection/style
Lets start with the obvious…Low population. Yeah christmas is on the way but with sales as high as they were, where are all the numbers now? Average of maybe 200,000 on friday night! Maybe CoD is partial blame here but I didn’t want to bring the “Halo killer” up so fast. Halo 3 in it’s prime and for a couple months there after averaged over half a million. One night I logged on and there was 1.3 million. What a time it was. Games become harder to find and lobby times longer for the short game to follow. Theres solutions for all of this that bungie captured and 343 almost captures. I don’t have the answers [wish I did] but please bring more people on board!
Lobby time…My friends and I play and search for games.LOL loading game…throws us into lobby half way through, the team we get on is getting wrecked ohhh what fun. spawn into dmr fire across the map. Not only are we ganna get a lose, we are getting spawn killed! Lets back out and search for another 10 min or stick with it…decisions decisions. FML. Halo didnt do this as bad before. If a whole team would quit out they may throw a new team in, thats fine but dont throw me in a game that is 550 to 80 in slayer or whatever it may be. Cod does this Cod is not god. You created this online fps explosion and had the best atmosphere to play it in. What happend? You need to refine yourself and are almost there 343i. There I go again mentioning CoD…getting back on track…
Cheating cheating cheating. I know u can never stop it all. I except the fact it will happen on every game on every platform it’s a fact of life. But lately its going on frequently. Rapid fire is the most frustrating. I DMR a guy looking away from me, get the first shot pull the trigger for the second shot as he starts to look my way but its okay I got first shot second shot both to the head on him,“I got this rainbow I got this”, wide open platform, I already scoped it out, no boxes for him to run and hide behind its just us my DMR his BR and a sheild dropping from my foe, Another potential stat in my War Games Career. Then it happened I can still remember the sweat forming from my spartans hard concentration…he locks on I m locked on, RAPID FIRE he pulls off 4 shots before I get my 3rd in. LOL So pissed imma throw this controller F this F that are u kidding me. My mic icon hasnt been the same since. iknjgiuhberg im still pissed thinking about it. He went on to go 32 n 5 I went 19 n 16. 8 deaths from him alone. The rest of my team suffered the same fate. Have pride in that, random Halo player? Do ya? I just hope you don’t cheat old people out of money or cheat on ur GF or make false claims on insurance. I sincerely hope cheating with a rapid fire controller is ur high peak in that long dark road your on. “ahh sigh” Then there is aim bots!!! ohh getting BR’ed from a mile away and he isnt even scoped in…while my DMR or Carbine is locked on his frost colored visor. I even remember the color of his visor people. Ohh head shot head shot im dead. RIP legit Halo players. There is much more but im already in to deep on this not so touchy subject.
New maps new maps, Great job on Valhallah I will say! U really made that map great. Now on to venting…I play the same maps over and over,BTB Exile and Ragnorok SWAT or Slayer Haven,Abandon, Complex…not saying they are bad but overplayed. There are like 6 maps I’ve never even seen on War Games. Why did you make them? Or did an employee win a bet and got to create a map and then out of anger, since he won, you controlled what maps that got played and said I’ll show him and no one plays his cool map that u got shelled out of making. I know everyone wants new maps but if your creativity goes as far as Solace, please remake Lockout or Pitstop or Construct, or Gaurdian.Solace is my example for map style. Solace is filled with crap everywhere. U can run now as a spartan and now u can either run into a bunch of s*** while your foe runs away or run to cover yourself or look at your radar and get stuck hitiing a box that serves only one purpose, to frustrate you. I’ll jump over it…4…3…2…1 respawn got sniped. The basement has no reason of creation. and the bases are littered with crap. I really want to fire up Halo 2 and play Backwash just to say there is a worse map.
Lastly CoD does it best. If it’s not broke, Change it completly and throw in lag and a quick scope sniper that fires 2 shots that dont kill while he dies from an uzi 6.2 miles away. Makes since to me. 343i and the partial Bungie team that came with. Thank you, you have my support whatever it’s worth. You are almost there I know you don’t want to keep putting out the same game over and over But keep it simple. Halo 2 is the best ever. Refine yourself stay true to your community!!! I love Halo 4 but lacks the last 2 turns to be considered tight! ohh and I know theres nothing you can do about it but PLUG IN YOUR MICS teams dominate and randoms go negative. Talk people Talk!!! drops the mic and throws up the peace sign.
PS I called out all Halo players as him or his or that guy, Ladys you know who you are, thanks for your support as well.
