Halo 4 at its core is a good game. But there is still a lot that needs to be done and lots that needs to be fixed.
-First off is Ordinance. The concept is great but it ruins what halo is about. Halo has always been about skill. In every past Halo, players would spawn at equal distance from power weapons and have an equal chance of getting the power weapons. Now we have every person on the map running around with the power weapon which just does not work. They can either remove it, or add another game types that don’t have them. Slayer pro is about as close as we get old Halo play style.
-Next is the DMR. The range on it is ludicrous. You have just as much range as a sniper and can easily take a sniper out if you know where they are. Also it wins in all ranges. A expert with the DMR can win every engagement against every starting weapon. And the lack of bloom on it doesn’t help.
-Lack of classic modes. A lot of what I already hate about this game can be fixed by simply adding classic modes. No Ordinance , no load outs, and no random dropping weapons. Have every weapon in a fixed spot just like every other Halo. What I fell in love with about Halo was that it was a game of skill. Everyone had an equal chance for everything. Everyone started with the same gun, and was the same distance from a power weapon. The player that came out on top was the player who was more skilled.
-More playlist. A lot of game types need to make a return, just to name a few would be Griff ball, a regular free for all, and Slayer without ordinance. These are just a few, and I’m sure others have game types they want to see come back.
That is about all I feel needs to be done to this game. Halo 4 is a great start for 343 and can still be much better with a little work. Thanks for reading.
