Why should try and play Halo 4 again

Games Other Halo
1

BR is 4 SHOT KILL

Carbine is 7 SHOT KILL

The Light Rifle has also been buffed

AR less aim assist and 3 shots less to kill

Storm Rifle less aim assist and 3 shots less to kill

Movement speed increased to 110 % which means truster pack has a meaning now

DMR IS NO LONGER THE WAY TO GO WEAPON :slight_smile:

Population is a little bit growing

Halo 4 is more fast paced like Halo 2

Again the BR is 4 Shot :slight_smile:

Static Power weapon spawns are mostly back on all maps

Team Throwdown will be updated monday with V4 Settings

Better CSR Matchmaking

If there are any points I missed please tell me I will edit the post :slight_smile:

On the No sided crippling LAG, if your into multiplayer or Co-Op play for Campaign and Spartan Ops.

I quit playing multiplayer H4 (after ~1400 war games) and switched back to Reach on June 2. Of the ~40 BTB games I have played since then in Reach, I have normal “H4 Type Lag” for maybe 30 seconds TOTAL in those games (in H4 70% of my games are lagged by 0.5 to 5 second range). Other mp games I play also don’t lag - it’s just H4. If I want to have a good lag free Halo game, I go Halo Reach. In the Reach BTB Lobby, there are usually 1,500 players and I get into a BTB Game just as fast as I do on H4 when there are 9,000 players in the BTIS Lobby - so it’s not a number of players thing - it’s not my connection - it’s not the phase of the moon - it’s H4.

If 343 wants to bring back the 220,000 players they lost in the first month of H4 multiplayer - then address the lag.

To poster above me, I have never really had too much trouble with lag, sorry to hear that.

But halo 4 feels way better than before, it is great

Ladies and Gentlemen; First it was the lack of small maps that caused a downfall in players, then it was the lack of ranking system, after that it was the dominant DMR!

Now finally a new excuse and rant-point-for-no-reason has cropped up: Lag. A problem entirely dependent on you and your awful connection, a problem that only effects those with a bad connection. Welcome to the Halo community

Sometimes lag is a legitimate irritation. If they had region filters and best connection options it might solve that issue a little bit.

Everybody looking forward to dedicated servers on the Xbone? I am. As long as there are servers in multiple places in the world to handle the local populations such as EU, US, Canada, Aus, etc.

Obviously your not reading what I wrote. Same connection, minutes apart, H4 lags horribly - switch to Reach - games then play smooth as glass. What more does one need to say?

And my “awful connection” is 8 ms ping time local, 70 ms ping time across north america, 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps from Western Canada - so explain how it’s my “awful connection” again?

You also missed that Reach (and other multiplayer games) play fine - just H4 doesn’t. I have Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST - so I know the “Halo Community” really well - H4 is the problem.

Yeah, I don’t see why people are whining about lag issues. May be their internet, because I don’t have issues, and I hop off my neighbor’s internet. So that tells me you must have dialup or some thing (LOL, jk). I get occasional lag, but that is likely due to someone joining the game that is from far away.

Until a local only search option is included into the game, I can’t play this game at all.
