Are you saying Halo 2 was a bad game by comparing it with Reach? If anything ruined Halo it was Reach. There were too many changes between Halo 3 and Reach, that it just ruined the whole series.

People really do like to look at Halo 3 with nostalgia-tinted glasses, don’t they?

6

Soooooo, TL;DR: X is OP, Y is OP, Z is OP, Y-Promethean edition is OP, Z-Promethean Edition is OP, OP is OP, Game is OP, Game is glicthed. Oh, and I don’t like Costumes. Costume loadouts are bad.

No, he is not whining. These are facts that are totally true and legitimate problems that are in this game. I was naive and thought that this game was going to be a step in the right direction, and i actually believed it until today. People like you who most likely abuse camo, explosives, grenadier, and the DMR abolutely LOVE the game because youre unstoppable, and can get kills you dont deserve because youre just a little f**king sniper on every single map. The game has so many issues in multiplayer i cant believe it. Almost entirely broken, and its very sad. I had high hopes for this game.

No HALO 2 was a great game it just had a lot of bug and glitch, but thats to be exspected it launched in 2004.But come on its 2012 now.

  1. Not for me
  2. lolwut?
  3. Um no
  4. Reach had loadouts. Halo 4 built upon it.
  5. I hardly use it and rare see anyone use it
  6. Why do you so desperately need a headshot medal for a Sniper kill?
  7. Binary Rifle is a Power Weapon
  8. Reach’s maps were 100x worse

I stopped reading after 9.

Oh yes, because no game has ever had problems and was the apex of perfection with no flaws whatsover. Halo 4 is the first game in the series with real problems the old Halos never had. 343 should be condemned for this and the staff should be fired. How dare they put a gun to my head and force me to play their crappy take on MY Halo series that i have full rights to. How dare they.

I know Halo 4 has problems and not all the features i agree with but come on, why buy a game you know is going to, in your eyes, fail so hard?

11

OP’s statement are all opinions and I don’t agree with any of them. MY opinion is that you don’t listen to him 343.

  1. How is joining in progress in any way detrimental?
  2. No, it’s not. At all. You probably just fail at aiming or stupid and charge at someone using it.
  3. It’s long-range needs to be nerfed, so I’ll give you this one.
  4. Traditional Halo was getting stale and everyone here knew it.
  5. Stop crouching then.
  6. Everyone likes to feel important. This isn’t even a gameplay issue, so I would be deeply appreciative if you would refrain from speaking…
  7. It’s fine as it is. Pretty much the same as Halo 3’s.
  8. Are you seriously complaining about this?
  9. It’s a power weapon. It’s supposed to be OP.
  10. Lots of symmetrical maps. This is good for competitive play, which is what this game is geared towards.
  11. It all keeps the game at a fast pace. Not even that bad.
  12. Either they pick this or a power weapon. I’d definitely rather them take this.
  13. Don’t use them then.
  14. Again…power weapon.
  15. Again, adds more diversity in gameplay. Traditional Halo was getting stale.
  16. People like you who camp and crouch should kill themselves anyways.
  17. Launch week. Read those two words very carefully.

Halo Reach ruined Halo… and 343 thought bungie did a good job somehow… while people complained protested whined cried about armor lock and active camo campers… instead of just taking them out you modified them thinking it would fix it… yeah that makes sense

14

blah blah overpowered blah blah ruined halo blah blah power weapons blah

why do you people fee the need to complain about a new halo game instead of just playing it or selling it?

no matter what was in the game you would complain because for some reason that is your entertainment. everything about everything is terrible and “ruined halo”

this has happened in EVERY GAME SINCE CE.

get over it already.

Well damn, here and all this time I thought hitscan was a good thing and the sandbox seemed fairly balanced. How could I have been so blind!?

17

If every thin is OP then nothing is OP. Welcome to the rules of balance my friend. Your welcome for the Enlightenment.

18

You know, I actually have no problem with any of the armor abilities, Active Camo is negated by Promethean Vision and situational awareness.

As for general gameplay, I would say that the throwing arc/angle for grenades is a bit off… and the “Bullet Stun” that needs to go.

That’s right you heard it here people, I’m a Halo Traditionalist and I’m saying Ok with the direction they took.

So yeah… “Bullet Stun” (Basically a mechanic in game that slows people when they are hit) needs to be removed, and general synchronization between players needs to be tightened up a bit…Otherwise it’s all good!

Anyone who agrees?
