I have been wondering, what does people don’t like about Halo 4, i don’t understand?
Main reason… Sprint.
Secondary reason… “it’s not halo 3”
Oh, there’s too many reasons to count. Some reasons are rational and have a great deal of logic behind them, backing them up and pushing them forward. Some reasons are irrational, spawned from illogical thinking and a lack of an open mind to allow one to see Halo 4 with enough clarity that they respect the positives.
Plenty of fans just want Bungie back, and have that set in stone as their dreams. Bungie won’t come back, and I would prefer that they don’t since I personally despise them and their decisions. People think that 343i just don’t have the same touch that Bungie did, and I’m inclined to agree. But we can’t expect 343i to adapt their touch to be the same as Bungies–that is impossible on so many levels that fathoming the grounds for considering such an idea would be wasted potential. Instead of asking 343i to adapt, fans need to adapt or be left behind. I’m willing to adapt, even if I don’t like some of the changes, especially in regards to the artistic side of the recent entries, but I’m coming around to it. A main problem is my mind’s ever-changing opinions.
Fans also wanted Halo 4 to be Halo 3.5–fans didn’t want all these new features in Halo. And while I agree Halo 4 would have been better without a majority of its implemented mechanics, I do think that it couldn’t have been the same as Halo 3; it couldn’t have been Halo 3.5 because that would contradict the fans who complain that Halo is turning into CoD, yet protest that Halo can become Halo again if it duplicates mechanics from Halo 3. That conflicts so bad that it hurts me when I think about it.
Then there’s sprint, loadouts, ordnance, perks, classes, etc. People also complain about Halo 4’s story, which I think is the prime achievement of that game. But the plot of Halo 4 is also where it stumbles with an overreliance on the extended lore to fill in the gaps. But the character development and the Master Chief and Cortana’s relationship is where that game excels, and the story is, in my opinion, underrated.
Halo 4 is not going to change now, it is what it is. If people don’t like it that’s ok, go play something else. Let the people who do enjoy it do so, coming to the forum and whinging about it is pretty negative. I think some of the old school halo players didn’t like the random chaos of h4.
In the older halos you just partied up, controlled the spawn points, and pretty well controlled the game. In h4 that doesn’t work, as you can’t predict what weapons the enemy team has. I like the random chaos of h4, but each to his own.
Some think Halo 4 doesn’t fit in with the story, which it does. Many are made because Cortana is gone, which i must stress that one she was designed to fall apart eventually so that the enemy wouldn’t obtain her information. Secondly she wasn’t design to withhold all of the information that she had. The multiplayer was a bit not Halo so many dont like it. Really its little things in the Multiplayer and the campaign people dont like
built in sprint, ordnance drops, perks, op’d weapons, what did i miss?

what he said except about i like bungie, its just they ran out of ideas and have moved on to let these nooby 343i come and take halo for their own
To sum it up Halo 4 just feels too unfamiliar and alien to a lot of people.
Gameplay is drastically different, style is different, the story is different. Contrary to popular belief, that IS a valid reason to dislike the game. Imagine if your favorite TV show suddenly became a different genre that you dislike overnight. Imagine you have a favorite cartoon set in a fantasy medieval land, and suddenly it’s a serious documentary about medieval culture. You’d be pretty miffed wouldn’t you?
Another reason people dislike it is they consider the multiplayer to be less competitive (i.e. challenging and balanced) and thus less entertaining.

Personal taste is personal taste. It doesn’t really need to be rationally justified. Can one rationalize why they like the color blue over others?

I don’t agree, honestly. I grew up playing Halo Custom Edition, and there were so many fan made things that still felt like they actually belonged in the Halo universe. Not just Halo, I’ve seen multiple forms of media where the fans make new content that respects and is faithful to the source material.

> Plenty of fans just want Bungie back,
Bungie were the ones to drive the franchise into the ground after building it up. Fans don’t want Bungie back, they want Halo back.
