campaign was pretty nice, gotta give them that. they -Yoinked!- up multiplayer though. I havent played reach, so these comparisons are from halo 3.
before anyone says anything about ‘oh, you just suck’, im at +2.0 k/d spread. this multiplayer is just trash compared to what it could have been.
First of all, the fact that when you’re in lobby, you dont get teamed up til after the map is chosen is pretty pointless and weak. I dont get a chance to see my team’s stats (or the other team), cause by the time I know whos on my team, the countdown is already going down and it fades out. please tell me the point of teaming up after the map is chosen?
Recoil is a joke. why doesnt it slowly recover? when you get hit with the sniper, recoil is not only insane, but theres no recovery. it leaves you facing up, and thats a problem. i shouldnt have to totally re-adjust my scope just because i get hit. recoil is fine if it’s done right. Halo isnt a franchise to be testing out -Yoink-. if you cant get it right, dont do it. if you honestly think the recoil thats in the game now is legit, then maybe you should double check with actual gamers.
I play bumper jumper, and i’m not sure if the ‘switch gernades’ button is any different, but to switch gernades you must use the d-pad. okay. well, what if you get a kill streak and you have a choice of deploying a weapon or upgrade? SERIOUSLY? was this -Yoink- even tested out before it was released?
Ammo is sacred on this game. I’m constantly running out of DMR ammo after a few kills, and there are no ammo spawns on the field. Not everyone uses a DMR, so what if I’m the only one using it and I run out of ammo? I dont like the fact that halo 3 doesnt have too many br spawns in certain maps, BUT THEY STILL HAVE THEM.
Picking a weapon to start off with is pretty neat. Putting level restrictions on starting weapons is unreal. I dont play COD much, but I think thats how they have it too. WHY?!?! lets give the people who have more experience with the game stronger weapons. Whos idea was this? Weapons should be free to everyone. Give people a different reason to level up. its unfair and unbalanced.
Armor abilities are pretty cool, but invincibility? people abuse this like -Yoinking!- crazy. also, the fact that you get this ability everytime you respawn is pretty lame. its too strong of a power-up. shouldnt be an armor ability, rather than something that you can pickup on the map or get from streaks.
I was expecting halo 4 to be a leap forward in the halo franchise. From what i hear, all they did was try to spit-shine a piece of -Yoink- (reach).
343, stay away from multiplayer. you guys obviously suck at it. pretty sad you have to leech off of other games just to ‘innovate’ a game you were lucky to even mess with. BUNGIE4LYF!!! 343i is a bunch of monkeys given the task to milk money out of a great franchise.
