Waahh waah wahhh I hate this, I hate that.

This forum has to be one of the most painful forums to read on the entire Internet. The hordes of hate threads are endless and so arbitrary. And the arguments behind the hate… Oh wait, there usually are none.

Personally I really like this game and yes blah blah blah I’ve been playing since CE and I know what REAL halo is blah blah blah. I play this game daily, I like its new direction (not a fan of the enemy design though) and I play it for fun. How do the players find so many things wrong with it?
My main problem is the horrible lag but I live in Australia and get matched with Americans 99% of the time. Yes it’s more annoying than anything when I hit a stationary target with a railgun and I don’t even get hit markers (profanities fly mind you) but whining like children just infuriates me and surely infuriates the developers.
I’d prefer to be the guy that cleans out the chief’s suit after a mission over being a moderator on this site, and I’ve heard the chief gets some nasty swamp -Yoink-. Understandable.

Could we have more positive threads people? Like instead of “pulse grenades are crap and useless!” how about “can someone please teach me how to use pulse grenades?”

But…Pulse Grenades aren’t useless!

OT: Their are some flaws, but Throwdown fixed them. When I returned to BTB after throwdown, I got 27 kills in one match. :slight_smile:

In a way, I prefer a twist in Halo’s path. Will I always like it? no, but its new. Just with the style of the game however, I really hope to see bigger maps be made because I always feel crammed.

bigger maps for BTB that is.

I love Halo 4. Just some weapons need some balancing and it can be better.

Then make them if you want. You honestly think complaining about complainers is going to do anything?

Its a lot easier to be negative than positive for most people because these problems in game make ppl angry so they come on here and the ‘tone’ is anger.

I’d like to see more additions to the sandbox, a nerf of the dmr and the return of BTB(I dont care about loadouts, just no ordinance and set the secondary and grenades).

Additions would be all or most of the vehicles featured in past games that the community has wanted for a while. The Elephant!!!(wait, what how did you, how did you do that??? lulz), transport hog, the falcon with all the seats, the hornet and hornet transport, revenant, spectre, prowler, chopper, a unsc fighter type plane and a small covenant transport aircraft (counter to the falcon). The last two would have to be original, but the others just need an hd revamp in the engine.
Additions would also include the weapons from past Halo’s they removed:
original plasma rifle red, blue and repeater variant
needle rifle, just for another covie choice
focus rifle, all about the choices
brute shot(pretty much the concussion rifle but its another aesthetic option)
spike rifle, gotta love these options in customs and forge
mauler, I know its like the boltshot, but they aren’t the same
smg variants(suppressed and normal)
Sentry Beam(remember when we had those cool mini lasers)
rocket pods from 3
sticky grenade launcher from reach
human grenade launcher from reach
spike grenades
firebomb grenades
equipment(because they had their uses and aren’t totally the same as armor abilities)
Have larger forge environments included but not limited to the return of Forge World, Quarry and Apex from spartan ops, Sandbox, a remake of SandTrap, Remade Avalanche, Impact was a good idea, but there is no real way to transport people across the map without teleporters so we would need those air transports then, Breakout, Spire and Highlands were all good maps from Reach and are good for BTB.
If I’ve left anything out from these additions please add them

I almost forgot, theatre in ops and campaign AND THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF THE BOMB!!!

Its all about choice, the weapons don’t need to be really balanced by you, just put them in the game with the damage settings they had in their respective games and leave it up to us how to use them in our games. The things we see are just models and stats and stats affecting stats so these should be easy to add.

This keeps the community producing cool machinima, maps, gametypes, and a lot of other stuff. It keeps the community going and nobody would have any reason to complain at that point except for the lack of firefight, but whatever when we have this. The environments allow for flexible map design, so when they submit their maps to you, you just have to simply review them and if they’re good add them in with the next update.

I’m a mix of competitive and recreational, but I didn’t mention as many competitive fixes because team throwback provides most of it and what it doesn’t im sure you’re/they’re working on it.

I reiterate, Campaign is great, Spartan Ops is good, the lack of firefight is dissapointing but I can live with it, but war games needs a lot of work.

Well, what can ya do? Everybody has entitlement issues. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have my peeves with this game but I still like it overall.

If a lot of people are saying the same thing there is generally good meaning behind it.

“If a lot of people are saying the same thing there is generally good meaning behind it.”

Saying how “Halo 4 sucks and I am never playing it” isn’t helpful. If they want the Halo series to improve with 343, they need to be supportive and actually give them CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. Tell them what you think is wrong and what you think they got right, that way they keep it around or can build on it. Any 2 year old can through hissy-fit like a majority of people here. I keep hearing people telling others to not buy the DLC to make their sales lower. You can tell people, don’t buy the game or the DLC’s to lower sales, but all that does is make it less likely that you will get a good Halo game anytime in the near future. Why? Because 343 and Microsoft are a business, and they will get less money to work with, making the quality of the game suffer. Don’t care if it’s the majority saying it sucks or not. You want a the game to improve, you need more positive feedback. And if it is negative, maybe, just maybe, be more polite about than saying “this is crap” or “if they don’t do this one thing, then the game is ruined.” Try and use some of those brain cells and stop giving us all a bad rap.

However, my point is probably moot because people are ignorant and don’t think. Just b itch and moan like 2 years old. Makes me cry as a Halo fan. Also as a person that this it what society has become. Just so sad and disappointing.

i find it annoying

what i have come to realize is that most haters of this game are band wagon jumpers or if someone makes a complaint about some kind of weapon its because they either lost because of that weapon or because they can’t use it and what I hate about most haters is that they feel the need to say that you don’t know what real halo is or your not a true halo fan.

Everyone has there own opinion of what a true halo fan is and what the true halo feel is. I love halo 4. Halo 3 was my favorite until halo 4 came out. It has its flaws yes but they’re being worked on and i am excited to see what 343 has in store for us in the future.

I couldn’t agree with you more with the exception of the annoying American part, but that is because I am one. lol. I am tired of daily complaints pouring in to the forum, but you know how it is people will never be happy. When Halo is finished people will be complaining that they need a new game. This is a bunch of rubbish that you cannot please the people. 343, if indeed you are reading this post I believe that you have taken a great franchise made her your own, and will continue to do right by her. Thank you.

You anti-complainers are even worse than the actual complainers.
