Wow Never Thought I would say this....

So I love Halo, I mean what an epic story and it’s so much fun to play out the role of MC. However this game has some serious issues in MP. I put together a list and please feel free to comment on this if you agree, those who disagree I do not want you opinion lol! Naw please say why as well I look forward to a little nerd discussion.

Ugly

Instant respawn- Ok this works for COD and Swat only but Halo Slayer, it is an awful idea. A Spartan has shields which need time to recharge after a fight. Honestly if I win a fight I should not worry that the dude I just killed will head shot me right out of the spawn. It’s happened on several maps to me but mostly on Haven. 3-4 sec respawn time please!

The DMR- This gun should be changed to a power weapon. Be honest folks, it is killing map movement and is way to Over Powered. I use it mixed with a light rifle and wow domination! I thought about how to fix the DMR and to be honest I would be happy if it was removed from MP all together. The BR would soon be the typical choice and Halo Slayer would feel more like Halo again.

In Game Joining- This is plain stupid… Look it’s not fair to join a Koth, Flag, Odd Ball or any other Objective game once it has started. Oh wow I joined a flag game with my team losing by 2 caps to 0…fun… With slayer it only shows how team play is no longer the focus… It’s all about your stats now.

Bad

Maps- for the most part the maps in Halo 4 MP are not very good. Bad is a better word for them. Let’s look at the 2 most popular maps, Haven and Raganok (or however you spell it). These two are so popular because of the semitry and limited clutter. They offer good game play and are simple enough. Maps like Complex and Vortex are non-symmetrical as well as too cluttered. Half the time in vortex it takes me a few seconds to just gather where the heck I am at! The result is everyone fighting over one spot…the Middle and seemingly the only place of importance.

Blot Shot- Hey folks you now you can spawn with a one hit kill mini shotgun… Anyone use Camo and the Bolt shot??? I do! Please 343 let’s do the smart thing and remove this from MP.

Mixed

Ordinance Drops- Ehhh im ok with this to a degree. I would rather have no power weapons come from these. Let’s keep the Power Weapons on the map spawns and kill the concept OD’s with rockets, snipers or anything similar. This promotes camping and again 0 map movement.

Team Spawn Relocation- I hate when im spawn trapped however I love to do it as. So a spawn switch to prevent slaughter is ehhh ok with me. Favors the new players and keeps them from getting too demoralized. However any Competitive Playlist will need to remove this function.

Ranks- Yea not having them yet is the result of lazy game designers. I am ok with no ranks if the following changes occurred however I would much rather have them! Oh and don’t do a Half *** job at it 343. If you do put them in, I want to see them in game not only on Waypoint.

Thats what I got people :slight_smile:

Oh and the I never thought I would say this… I bought COD for the first time, fun game but Halo still could rock it’s world.

I agree with everything. I must say that I never thought about making DMR a power weapon so that you can get it only from weapon spawns or Personal ordinance. If I can’t get the Needler at start, then also DMR shouldn’t be starting weapon.

DMR just replaced the BR’s niche. Come on, the BR ruined map movement so much worse in Halo 3 than the DMR ever has. Hell, the BR in H3 made half the sandbox redundant and useless. If you ask me, when it comes to weapon balance this game has got it down so much tighter than any previous Halo.

Yo I totally agree with you last point! Specialization are a sweet idea…but making so only a select (rich) few can play them from the start is stupid…I am capped at level 70 cause there are no more for me to select…this means that all the exp I gain…is useless and counts for jack!

As for some of your other points… I agree on the most part… except with removing the bolt shot…I get kill enough with it…however I suck with it…I think I have like 1 kill with it ^^. As for DMR…bane of my halo life…2shot head…everytime…and with the reply you get the reticle isn’t even over my guy…what gives with that!

I disagree. The BR of past never had the range on the DMR in 4. Come on buddy the DMR is a mini sniper. With Aim Asst omg that weapon is waaaaayyyy to good. Halo 3 and 2 never had the range that the DMR carries. Even with sprint its limited how easy I can kill from distance.
