From an experienced Halo gamer and fan, here are my thoughts on what I believe needs to be changed so far in H4:
-
As everyone it seems on this forum has said, instant respawns need to be taken out of objective games or scrapped completely. Ruins map control, everyone runs around everywhere with no care if they die and it’s just a big cluster of bs. From what I understand it can’t even be turned off in customs either?
-
The BR recoil needs to be removed. This is why I believe this weapon is insignificant in this game. Just about nobody uses it, and whoever does is not going to do as well against the DMR. It being 5 shot is fine IMO, but it should not be an inch or two above its original aiming position after firing. Let it have kick and then return to its normal position like in H2 and H3, then it’ll be on par with the DMR.
-
343 needs to add searching options like only finding people that are searching alone if you are alone. Matchmaking is starting to get brutal cause I’m constantly getting matched up against 4s or 5s in obj while I’m alone and I’m losing because of it. This is only going to get worse and worse when the 1-50 level system comes out.
-
Another searching option they need to add is have the choice to not join games in progress. I also don’t like getting losses because I join a game where my team is losing by 20-30 kills or 100 points in king or oddball. Out of all the times I joined in progress I have never joined a winning team.
-
Something needs to be done about Regicide. This has to be the most unbalanced game type ever. I’ve lost so many games while leading the whole game because people kill me and win while going negative or barely positive. We need a normal Slayer FFA.
-
You should be awarded a victory for placing top 3 in FFA like in Halo 3.
-
We need a doubles playlist, which likely will be out soon though.
-
Killcams need to be removed from the playlists until they are fixed. They are just so terrible and inaccurate.
-
Maps NEED weapon placements! I’m out of ammo, where can I pick up some DMR/BR ammo? Wait, I can’t

I really hope 343 makes these changes in this game and doesn’t wait until Halo 5
