What are your 3 biggest issues with Halo 4

Games Other Halo
1

Whether you love Halo 4 or hate it (obviously if you hate it), just about everyone has 3 issues that if they had control of the game they would have fixed. I’m just curious to what the general community thinks is the 3 biggest issues since the release of Halo 4. For me it’s.

  1. Instant Respawns- I see where 343 was going with this, they wanted to make a faster paced game. But it simply doesn’t work with Halo like it does with COD because of the difference in kill times. With instant respawn, the guy you just killed can insta spawn, and if he gets a good one simply look across the map and clean you up.

  2. No de-scoping, now 343’s reasoning behind this was that being de-scoped in other Halo games was a jarring experience. I myself have been playing since Halo CE, and never once have I thought, or heard anyone say this about the game. And I as a Halo 4 player find nothing more jarring then playing team snipers and suddenly my reticule is pointing at the sky.

  3. Increased radar size, again I kinda see where 343 was going with this, instant respawns, sprint, it makes sense to increase the radar size. But idk if many people know this, they buffed it by 15m to me that’s a little much. I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure we’ve had a 25m radar since CE, and I think a 30m radar would of been perfect.

Honorable Mention-Unable to pick-up/drop flag in CTF games, I actually like the new system. It kills the argument between the competitive/casual community and adds a measure of skill into running the flag.

  1. Spartan Ops (it sucks).
  2. Only half the game’s maps are actually used in MatchMaking.
  3. The whiny community.

EDIT: Changed #2.

Hateful, impatient, complaining community.

Aim assist on DMR

Multi team isn’t up yet.

  1. Instant respawns.

  2. Imbalanced weapons in loadouts.

  3. Poor changes to the core of matchmaking, (no de-scoping included).

And for an honorable mention. I don’t like people that complain about complainers. When you do this, what you are doing is even less constructive than what they are.

And if there is a significant amount of issues being griped about, <mark>chances are there are a few issues that needs to be addressed.</mark>

Same thing happened to Reach over Armour lock, Jet Pack and Camo. People complained about complainers and complainers complained on, and things actually got changed for the better.

Best thing you can do instead of complaining about complainers is make a constructive thread highlighting what has been done right and suggest any aspects that need polished up. There is always room for improvement.

5
  • No File Share support.
  • No campaign or Spartan Ops theatre.
  • Too much ugly armor.

Aside from those things, this game is excellent.

6
  1. The mediocre maps.
  2. Many classic Halo 3 custom games are impossible to make.
  3. The loadout system means there’s pretty much no weapons on the map.
7
  1. Bland Multiplayer
  2. No 1-50 system
  3. It sucks.
8
  1. Active Camo
  2. Boltshot
  3. It feels very incomplete
9
  1. The UI
  2. Boltshot
  3. Instant Respawn

Problems with the whiny community

People with the standard copy have to wait extra long. For example, I am a level 70 and have gone through Spartan IV, Wetwork, and Operator. I cannot rank up at all.

Regeneration Field

If anyone knows when 343 will give the other specializations to people with the standard copy of Halo 4, please message me on Xbox Live. My gamertag is Tylenul

  1. Instant respawns

  2. The specialization email fiasco. I have been stuck at 70 for over a week now.

  3. Not enough maps, Haven and Roganark get voted over and over.

I only have one issue with ALL Halo games. Even on my 42" HD screen, I cannot read the text. It is not only too small (I have to get up and walk to the TV across the room) but it is so blurry, I can hardly make out what it says, standing a foot away. This has been my major gripe since Halo 1. H4 has other issues, but that is not for this forum.

> 1. The UI
> 2. Boltshot
> 3. Instant Respawn

14

1.The BR is a 5 shot kill not 4

2.No descoping

3.No real upgrade to forges budget or item count(same as reach).

15
  1. Can’t disable sprint.
  2. Can’t disable sprint.
  3. Can’t disable sprint.
16

  1. The sheer lack of customization and innovation throughout all modes.

  2. The dreadful Campaign, including the plot, gameplay, and lack of Campaign theatre.

  3. The utterly dull, bland, repetitive, and boring experience Matchmaking has become.

  4. The soundtrack and ui. The menus are absolutely terrible and unnavigable!

17

  1. Grunts don’t speak english

  2. No CQB armor

  3. No Theater mode for anything except War Games

I think the game is very solid, some of the maps aren’t that good, but the gameplay is great.

18

  1. Lag. I just played a game before posting in this thread, impossibleto play, everyone was “teleporting” all over the place, it felt like I was watching DBZ.

  2. The loading screen saying “game starting” each time a host leaves.

  3. Active camo, so utterly annoying.

19

  1. Almost everything

  2. Mostly everything

  3. Just about everything

20
  1. FLINCH, instead of un-scoping, ruins snipers.
  2. 4 or 5 map rotation per-playlist makes maps repetitive and boring. ( Where is Impact and the gametype Extraction???)
  3. Exp ranking system. Halo needs a skill based ranking system like halo 3 none of this Exp ranking from Reach.

4***. Weapon De-spawn times are WAY to fast 10 seconds and the weapon disappears, removing the competitive aspect of controlling power weapons.
