Even when custom games and forge have been fixed people still do not want to touch halo 4 because of how bad customs were in the beginning. I know why they wont come back for MM but for customs its just like H3/reach now so why still complain about it.
I don’t feel welcome… Period.
If I “play for fun” I don’t feel challenged and if I put my heart into it and do too well my own teammates turn on me yelling things like “stop stealing my kills you Tryhard”
Why bother playing a game who’s community harbors a “defeatist/ we love loosing” attitude.
At least in Reach you can find most players are trying to win, even if they are clueless as to how to win… They try. Halo 4 just punishes you for playing.
It’s all good though. I got my Master Chief armor and Master Ball Emblem… So peace. Haven’t played for a month or so then played 2 matches… After this https://app.halowaypoint.com/en-us/Halo4/timzarob/wargames/match-d0e299f8c18ec92e that was the last day I played.
Maybe becuase the average gamer who picked it up is not interested in customs but just wants to play MM has a game gets put in poorly matched games against premade parties and decides they would rather do somthing other then be cannon fodder.
Monstrous Lag
constant black screen scoreboaring
JIP
ETC.
People won’t come back due to the lack of things that should have been in the game to start with. Also I don’t like thing’s being handed to me just because of a few kills. Also the GDC panel has shaken most of the community up. I’m sure you’ve seen that picture of the Spartan in the Wheelchair. If their going to take idea’s from modern shooters then it’s bound to fail.
In short, somethings work in Halo somethings will never work in Halo. The same for Call of Duty and all other Modern Shooters.
Halo 4 is nothing like Halo 3 in the scope of skill and balance.
Really all that needs to be said.

No it isn’t. Lots of options are missing/don’t work so modding gametypes is required (but i won’t talk about that here).

You are just flat out wrong. Sure forge has improved with forge island, but NOTHING has been done about gametypes and custom options. Halo 4 has nothing in the customs department compared to Reach or 3. Have you actually read the custom games thread? What on earth has given you the impression that customs has gotten better since launch?
Many people, myself included, have been waiting for a reason to come back. Some weapon balancing, AA balancing, classic maps, anything. It’s been almost half a year now and there have been no fixes to the core gameplay problems. Instead we’ve gotten three map packs where every map ranges from awful to mediocre. And the competitiveness in the online community is gone. You can’t join a team of randoms and expect anyone to play to win. Everyone is trying to finish their stupid weekly challenges or weapon commendations. Also, nobody uses mics anymore, maybe one or two people per match have their mics on. I’ve been playing BO2 for the past week and in every game at least half of the players have mics, and that’s on the PS3.
I think a big part of the issue could be vehicles. BTB playlists have always been popular, and the unique style of vehicle combat would’ve be a big draw.
Now, vehicle combat is almost gone; they can be taken out by almost every small arm, the PP/Plasma Grenade combo has made getting into a Warthog a waste of time, and seriously hampers the sucessful use of other vehicles. This is made worse with the fact that most large maps are very congested, with lots of place for people on foot to hide and launch attacks without too much issue, and that Objective gametypes still haven’t be added to BTB.
Big Team Battle simply isn’t as fun as it has been in the past.

When did they fix custom games?
Can you disable sprint now?
Personally I still think it’s the lack of a local only search option. I’m not touching the game again until that option is available. I really think it’s the first and strongest reason that kills any multiplayer for a game. Even MW2, one of the most anticipated games in the last decade suffered from this, especially on PC where people lynched the game. But at least they kinda fixed it 4 months later.
Theres alot that has been added, but not much that has been fixed. Adding Forge Island isn’t going to make forge better. Customs as far as I can tell hasn’t been touched.
Because at its core it’s still the gimmicky bland unskilful non Halo that it was in the beginning
There unhappy because they bought a unfinished game and dlc won’t change that for them
Maybe people are playing different games.
Lots of good ones out there at the moment.

As long as customizable load-out, armor abilities, ordnance Drops, sprint, JIP etc. is in the game, I am not coming back. It is not because I don’t like change or innovation, but it must be based on the values of the first games.

Because the gameplay is still poor compared to old Halos.
In one word: Randomness. Randomness is the reason people left and will not come back, people get SICK of getting screwed over and over again. Infinity was the worst thing that ever happened to Halo next to AA’s and sprint.

Because if i want to play COD i have my COD game and play it, don´t need to play Halo to have some COD experience.
Motivation.
There is nothing to come back to it is a boring multiplayer experience compared to the other games.
