Subject: Halo 4 Multiplayer - The Good & Bad?

.
Question: What are things you can't stand or really like in Halo 4 multiplayer gameplay?
.







Aside from the campaign and graphics being awesome, and a definite upgrade from Halo: Reach. Also the music was really good in Halo 4.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

I disagree, ODST was great.

The shielding is worse, in my opinion.
I liked health packs.

The Campaign was great though, and in a game that doesn't have MP the shielding doesn't really matter considering the rest of the game was spectacular.

And the FF was WAY better than Reach. It was actually entertaining.

I agree the Halo 4 campaign was excellent. The music was excellent and the graphics are excellent

BUT, the multiplayer made me put the game on craigslist after I was done with the campaign.


- Sharks vs. Stingrays though?
- grenades the power and sound
- weapon drops
- nerfed DMR
- Over Powered weapons
- Kills were more satisfying in Reach.

I was talking about ODST.

But Halo 4 is better than Reach.

This is related to Reach, how? Go to the Flood forum to discuss Halo 4.

Nerfed DMR? Are you joking, it needs to get nerfed. The goal was to eliminate AIO weapons, all the DMR did was -blam!- at everything now. There are like 20 threads on waypoint -blam!-ing about it. Although the carbine is even better, most people just haven't used it ;)

Grenades needed a tone down in reach. If you can place grenades, you can still strip shields.

Weapons are just faster now, more like h2 except without a one-gun-beats all. It's a faster paced game, reach was just slow.

Kills being more satisfying? Sounds like someone entered the series late and has the reach syndrome. Do you miss the grunt birthday party or something?

And for sharks vs stingrays, get over it. It's a design flair to not have red and blue boxes in the game start. At least it looks 'punk'.

Weapons do sound like -blam!- though. Go into a game with active camo and a carbine, activate camo, fire carbine. X Wings!

The grass is always greener. No one will ever be happy with something new.

Sure that even you can figure that out ?!?

reach is dead, people want to discuss the new and;
- some have trouble adjusting and come looking for answers,
- some come to compare (in the same way as re-released music title)

Plus to be honest ... what else is there to discuss about reach?

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

The bad
-All the maps suck except for Haven
-BTB sucks
-Hitbox is huge actually bigger than Reach's
-You literally don't have to aim at the guy to get a kill only a little part of him.
-Guns are unbalanced
-All the weapons sound like -blam!- and don't sound futuristic
-The campaign was generic and some of the parts were rip-off of star wars. Even Halo Reach didn't go that low. I actually don't remember any good levels from the Halo 4 campaign it was boring and just plain bad.
-The music is less than average in fact I could barely hear it because the awful weapon sounds
-The sword when turning on sounds like a lightsaber and not like the energy sword
-The armor looks like -blam!-
-No Race
-No assault
-Forge is worse than Halo Reach's forge(I can't believe how they could make it worse)
-Trying to play the game competitively is awful could actually be worse than Reach
-The enemy and friendly ai are the worse in the series
-No firefight
-No reason to try and survive in spartan ops
-Aim assist up the ass like there is no tomorrow(easy kills with sniper)
-Too much light it hurts my -blam!- eyes
-The skyboxes suck
-It feels like I don't even have to try to aim to get a kill
-Customs suck and are officially dead
-No campaign theater mode

The good
-Spartan ops(maybe)
-Graphics

I am already bored of the game. This game seriously sucks.

Oh we are talking about just multiplayer. Well everything about the multiplayer is bad except for Haven.

Health Bars, Halo: Reach vs Halo 4


What happens when you strip shields in Halo 4?
Is it one shot to the head after that or a couple body shots
until death?
Halo Reach sure had that figured out.
After shields are gone its one shot to the head or you take down HEALTH BARS with body shots.




Again, I'm not saying halo 4 multiplayer is good or bad, but I just wanted to talk about the differences.

What are you I don't even... have you ever actually fired an assault rifle before? It more of a crack than a whump. Also, the weapons seem extremely quite.

And who ever said Halo was supposed to be like real life? Did the Prometheans tell you that?

I hope you enjoy this video of the weapons sound recording for Halo4.



Of course, common sense is that there weren't exactly recordings made of of real life weapons for covenant/promethean weapons.

Then why does the pistol sound like it's clicking as opposed to firing?

Junior Dos Santos, know the name, he's the future.

BLACK POWER!

Negatives:
No doubles playlist, its annoying having to play 4-8 versus 4-8 every game.
No snipers, swat or mlg yet.
No ranked ex: 1-50, arena etc
Ordinance drops
Unable to drop the flag in CTF, you pick it up by walking on it.
Being able to pass the oddball.
Not unzooming with ANY gun after you get shot and hit.

Halo 4, in any playlist other than Slayer Pro, feels like Fiesta (from H3) but with set loadouts. The ordinance drops really add to much randomness to the game IMO.

Pros:
No bloom
Good maps with COLOR. Not everything is silver and boring like Reach was.
Loadouts, no more AR starts.
AAs are balanced for the most part.
While sprinting and being hit you slow down. So no more sprint sword bs.
Jump height, movement speed and grenades are more like H3.
Sprint and the instant respawn like cod feel okay in this game.

Wow, really. The campaign was excellent. Amazing, in fact. They could not have done a better job.

I think the verdict is still out on whether they will eventually integrate a 1-50 system.

The unzooming when hit was really good in Halo Reach, so I might agree with you on this point.

I'm getting used to the ordinances.

There's supposed to be a 1-50 style ranking system to be implemented next year.

This.

However,


I could continue this list.

I enjoyed spartan ops, has had a lot of replay value. Campaign was really good, especially the last few missions, but i'm not wanting to go through it again any time soon.

Matchmaking is worse than reach. Armor abilities and loadouts are a mess. Sprint is way too quiet.

Actually got so bored of H4 today that I went back to reach lol.
