What about the good things?

Okay… I see lots of you guys are complaining over and over about 343i and H4 bad things, and I’d like to look into the good things also, because the things that are good are being hidden by you guys. I’d like you to write here a contrast between this things.
This is my contrast about good/bad things.

GOOD.
-It is HALO!
-The new weapons are amazing in my opinion.
-Campaign is prety cool. Legendary solo is really hard. some bugs should be fixed though.
-The online gameplay is really addictive and I thing 343i has done a good work there.
-Infeccion is a nice gamemode, better than zombies in my opinion.
-Forge has really cool new tools and objects.
-Spartan Ops is really cool.
-Really huge amount of armor variations and weapon skins.
-The specialitzacion thing is a good way to make the online gaming more exciting.
-Mantis is really cool.

BAD.
-I don’t like the resources system.
-Maps designs are really poor and dark… Best is Regnarok and it is just a remake.
-Where are the forerunner vehicles!!! I was hoping to see some of maybe many diferent new vehicles for covenant or UNSC…
-Where is the HORNET?!!
-The new genade sucks.
-THE VOTE SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE.
-I don’t understand this new medals… they’re really confusing.
-LOTS OF BUGS IN THE INFINITY RANKING SYSTEM!!!
-The specialitazcion thing is a cool idea… but seriously… they are really poor.
-IMPOSIBLE CHALLENGES???!!! Like 18 regicides in a match? WTF is that?
-The Limited Edition specializations are disapearing
-GAMEMODES PLEASE!!! Team Doubles, Team Snipers, Swords, Rocket Race, Rocket & Hammer (Can’t remember the name), Grifball…
-Where is LONE WOLVES!!! Seriously… WHERE IS IT?
-There are like 24384384 helmets and armors and they’re all messed up, placed all together in a list… really poor and confusing.
-How is it rational to earn almost the same quantity of points always? it doesn’t matter of you win or lose…? Everyone is getting Between 2500 and 3000 Points!

This is my fast analysis of my contrasts of H4… I supose this is a very premature version of the game and lots of patchs will be impanted and so… to fix the bugs and add gamemodes. I think this game should have given some extra moths to fix this basic things. Anyways I think it is a good game… but is very difficult to make a PERFECT HALO. I hope 343i will get closer to the comunity and its affinities. Bugie did it, and they did it by listening to the comunity and giving us what we wanted. Listen to us 343i… and keep working! This game is still amazing.

PD: Sorry for my English… I’m from Spain.

Kudos to you man. I’ve seen people with English as their first language type worse than you. Good job!

I agree with most of your points, but the biggest problem I have is the imbalance of the multiplayer system 343i has set up right now. They really should have had a beta for the fans to play before it all went live, because there are too many imbalances right now imo. If Reach had a beta (a game universally unliked by the community), why can’t H4?

You want us to put in the good too? Well Thanksgiving is coming up so I suppose it would be nice for the community to include what we enjoy, now just what we hate.

So I’m happy with:

NEVER being forced to start another match with an AR because newbs don’t like being out BR/DMRed

Again NEVER having to EVER AGAIN spawn with an AR, that cannot be overstated. Seriously few things pissed me off more than somebody refusing to vote for BR/DMR starts, then at the beggining of the match, they run over to the one that spawns on our side and take it. Great job you twit.

The damn Banshee has been toned down, no more backflip, bomb, backflip, bomb, backflip, bomb single handidly winning the match for the team.

I was a SAW gunner in the ARMY, so I personally find being able to use the SAW in Halo 4 enjoyable. (Okay so it is a sci-fi SAW, but close enough)

In a lot of games, weapons like the SAW have a crazy RoF, but the shots seem to disappear into thin air, making them virtually useless. The SAW in this game actually scores kills!

Some small reward for getting an assist.
The game acknowledges when you get a no-scope with the sniper

I can spawn with 2 plasma nades and a plasma pistol. Make short work of the long term Warthog/Ghost newbs who never learned how to play.

Nice graphical leap on campaign.

No more armor lock.

No bloom brining in tons of randomness (However loads more randomness added in with ordinance…)

You get sprint by default. Always pissed me off how the ability to RUN was “Part of the armor”, what a load of rubbish.

I think that being positive and optimistic is a good thing… This way we can see that 343i has not done everything that bad… Society loves the complaining part and ignores the praising part. I thing 343i has done things bad, but H4 is still a great game and there are many interesting good things in H4. Things change… so H4 must too.
I’m sure they will fix lots of the complaints from the comunity and we will improve the game adding a small piece of sand on the mountain from everybody’s hand.
