Just because it has a few flaws and that its made by 343i and not Bungie doesn’t mean that you should say flat out that Halo 4 sucks, I respect everyone’s opinion, but come on you don’t have to try to rub it in anyone’s face. I’m not implying this for everyone who says the game sucks I’m talking about the people who want to leave the Halo series or talk trash about 343, I respect the people who state their opinion in a mature manner. But people need to let go of the past and turn to the present this is 343s first game so give them a break and stop complaining that its not Bungie.
I agree some people are blowing it up to be a massive fail. I for one enjoy the game. I just see two downfalls in it. 1. Selection of game modes need revamped like the older halos Team snipers,Big team objective etc. 2. The xp cap is not needed. It sucks to play this game then cap out xp and continue to play and not gain xp from your matches/challeneges/commendations
those are my two big downfalls i see in this game atm. Everything else i see people complaining about isnt nothing ha
It’s like a system now haha 
Halo: Reach on realease: People dislike
Halo 4 annouced: people love it already
Halo 4 realease: people dislike
Halo: Reach: people like now
I agree with your post, we are on a forum and opinions both negitive and positive are going to be shared, and people like you and I and many others respect that. But of course that is going to spark a few flame wars along the way.
People expected the game to be 110% flawless out the gate and are overly reacting to the small flaws that it has. If people would have some patience and let 343i get an update or two out I am sure they wouldn’t be so upset. But hey, this generation of gamers has no idea what patience is…
I honestly don’t get what everyone’s deal is with this game. It’s just flat out ignorant to say Halo 4 is garbage and doesn’t deserve to be a Halo game and so on and so forth. I very much think it is worthy of a Halo game and probably the best Halo experience I’ve had since Halo CE which is obviously my opinion.
I understand why people would dislike some aspects of Halo 4 but to say 343i have ruined what true Halo is and completely disregard Halo 4 for the most trivial things is just downright stupid of people. Have some respect for 343i making their first Halo game that took hard work and dedication to make and to trust them with this universe that Bungie has given them.
Again, have some respect that they still even care for the Halo universe to continue it’s story to all of the ungrateful people talking trash about it.
Honestly, I haven’t griped about anything major in a Halo game until Reach, and I’m sure everyone had their gripes with it. I hope the haters will quit trash-talking and start getting realistic about their wishes. This game has so much potential, and only a few major aspects that needs some looking into. It’s gonna take the community as a whole to decide the parts that are actually hurting gameplay, and we need to weed out any of the nit-picking.
I can get over menus not being as easy on the eyes as they were in previous games. Sounds aren’t a gamebreaker for me. Lots of stuff is so miniscule that I don’t even understand people’s thought processes.
I’m hopeful that 343i will make changes to the game within reason if these requests are worthy. If they don’t listen to the fans then I feel this game will start to lose numbers just like Reach did. As far as I remember people really liked Reach from the beginning… I did anyways.

Would you like to know why Halo 4 sucks, Rent it for game play, and buy Call of duty, its bull, they put a xp cap, defeats the any reason to play, 4 days in a row I have caped, and I took time off to play, but I cant play, there is no point, after I hit the cap, if I keep playing and complete a challenge I lose that xp and will never get it back. First time I caped I lost over 6k in xp, idk about the game play xp no big deal, but I did a challenge that gave me 4k in xp and I lost it all, Tomorrow ill finish a monthly challenge that give over 17k in xp, but all that is going to do is cut my play time down by a hour tomorrow, and lets not get me started on the double xp from Mt. dew and Doritos… Way to help me make up my mind Hale vs. COD. If you want to stop boosting, find a way to stop it not mess up my play time. I push to be on top, and after 4 days all I am is lvl 40… F#$% you lvl cap. and F@#$ all you lil boosting -Yoink- that made them put stuff like that in the game… O well 3 days 30 min to COD, Good bye Halo, enjoyed the story, giving ot my friends to play story and they don’t have to buy this game, so they can save their hard earned money for a real game the don’t limit the player…
Who? Oh, these few people who make a hate thread here? Just a handful of people compared to millions that are playing and loving the game right now?
I have found that the best way to view Halo 4 is as a beta sci-fi shooter. It has a ton of potential and in general it’s a good game for just mindless killing. What it lacks though are the competitive aspects of previous titles.
I feel as though sprint, instant respawn, random ordinance, and personal ordinance all make the game feel very random. What exactly does a team gain for having map control? What motivation do players have to move throughout the map? What happened to having a few small arena style maps with static spawns?
Halo 4 has nailed the CoD style casual gameplay right on the head. What they have yet to do though is provide competitive playlists. I thought Slayer Pro was going to be that playlist but it also includes instant respawn and sprint.
I do have some faith that some of these issues will be addressed but that’s going to take time. In general people always find a way to complain but never actually suggest a fix. Here is my fix.
Make a couple playlists that don’t have random ordinance, instant respawn, sprint, dynamic spawns, and AAs. I also suggest adding powerups to the map to provide more incentive to move about the map. I would also make a few smaller arena style maps for slayer/objective gameplay.
I would really like to play Halo in Halo 4, that is all.
I’m having a blast with Halo 4. I come here and i sometimes wonder if we’re all playing the same game.
Opinions, we have our own. /end
BTB broke with H4 and that sucks. The DMR is the only gun worth using, thats not a good thing.
I for one love this game so far. I like the loadout system, mainly in that it carries over to Spartan Ops. I love Spartan Ops as well, I hope we get some more… dramatic missions in the future (taking down another Lich… I like it)
And most of the players I see so far have actaully used the Battle Rifle, even I use my DMR less than that. THe vehicles are fun, I like ordinance drops, overall, I love this game.
The people who like this rather than hate it are out playing rather than being on the forum. THe people who hate it most aren’t playing at all.
> I’m having a blast with Halo 4. I come here and i sometimes wonder if we’re all playing the same game.
It’s all in what you want out the game. Do you care if the game is competitive or do you prefer a more casual experience? Halo has always been a sandbox style game and they didn’t really give anything to the competitive community so they could enjoy it to.
People are complaining about stuff like this
When major portions of the community are either alienated or crippled at the developers’ doing, than people become disappointed and offended.
halo 4 is a good game when you compare it with CoD or gears or some other shooter on the market, however when you compare it to halo 1, 2, and 3 it doesnt take too long for you to realize how bad the game is. halo 4 is hardly even better than reach was, and thats kind of pathetic if you ask me. I honestly would of rather them remade halo 2 or 3 then to see them waste all that time, effort, and money into halo 4.
to sum it all up halo 4 is a good game, but it isnt even close to the first trilogy.
just going to throw my two cents into this let be honest all games now of days have their flaws but really you info the developers about it and they fix it anyway Halo 4 is really great hell the very first cut-scene i thought i was watching a live action clip i enjoy it still i don’t see why people gotta hate on it i’m sorry but if your hating on a game for stupid reasons un-powered gun or AA etc then you need understand it make the game a lot more tactical i like the change since i got halo 4 i haven’t stopped playing it also to the people who are saying it “now like COD” i’m sorry but the game is copy and paste after WaW Halo is always breaking something new to the table even if it is a little flawed or buggy but hey that why you put your trust behind the developers not “oh this game suck i’m going to go rage on a forum and rant away” so to just clear this Halo 4 is a great game with yes it bugs and flaw but help 343i fix those problem in a nice matter on the forum not say its suck etc and to 343i you guys did a hell of a great job can’t wait for the next game
People are just dumb. Everybody -Yoinks!- about stuff just to do it. Can’t please everybody. I like it.
It seems to me that all some people really want is a re-make of Halo 3. Personally, I am loving H4, and without all the changes they are bringing the series would die, no questions asked. If all we get year after year is Halo 3.5, there is no point in the franchise anymore.

Been like this since CE. Complain about it till the new halo comes out then hate that and then love the older one and say it was perfect.
