More specifically, on the multiplayer. What's your take on it? How would you improve it?

Personally, I think it has Halo's base concepts at its core, which is a step in a better direction than reach. However, the maps feel way too large in the 4v4 and 5v5 game types. In addition, it feels rushed and unpolished, and has many gimmicks. With the right polishing, this game has the potential to bring Halo back.
To start, the AR should take 3-4 more bullets to kill, as of right now it is way too effective. The Boltshot should also be toned down, draining shields rather than being an OHK. The DMR should be put as a pickup weapon only, in BTB. The BR should be back at its 4 shot capability (if it isn't already). Ragnorak needs to ditch either the Mantis or Banshee. More of the maps need to be put into MM, it feels like its the same 3 maps all the time (haven, solace, complex [in 4v4]; ragnorak, exile, and whatever that map with the Wraith is [BTB]). Camo should be a pickup only (the way it was in the Halo Trilogy). Halo 4 has potential, but the way it is right now, it's falling by short of its capabilities.

I hate MLP. It is cancerous and pretty stupid to see men watching a show for girls. They can deny the truth but the truth shall prevail!

I've used the all the weapons and I think there need to be a few tweaks, mainly with the DMR.

I personally feel like some of the AA's are too gimmicky and the loadout idea is waaaay too much like CoD (I'm sorry, but if you don't see the clear resemblance, you're blind). I like the majority of the maps but the BR DOES need to return to the 4-shot capability. I wish there was more variety in vehicles; one of the few things Reach did right was include a buttload of vehicles.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Some tweaks here and there, mostly technical though. The core (movement, jump height) is perfect. Just need a few fixes

This is how i feel except i didn't hate halo 3.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

If they patch the DMR, get rid of Ragnarok, Get rid of Join in Progress, bring in better playlists, I would have no problem with it. Oh also an actual ranking system.

  • 11.27.2012 6:12 PM PDT

Remove instant respawn, nerf/remove sprint, fix servers, decrease all medium-long guns (excluding snipers) firing range massively, make map voting a veto system, take out killcams since they are broken anyway.


Then you might have a quality game.

No replayability. Nuff said.

  • 11.27.2012 6:14 PM PDT

I liked Reach a lot more.

Then again, I never believe in playing competitively, since all I do is sit on my rear and play some stupid game.

  • 11.27.2012 6:17 PM PDT

Nerf DMR ROF slightly
Buff Carbine accuracy
Buff splash damage radius on railgun
Buff projectile speed on scattershot
Remove option for DMR/Light Rifle spawns on Big Team Battle
Remove insta-spawn
Add basic weapon/grenade pickups on maps
Add physics objects on maps
Add a real ranking system

All I can think of right now.

Halo 3

This is how i feel except i didn't hate halo 3.


This guy doesn't know what makes Halo Halo. Problems with large non "segmented" maps? Kill times have been too long since Halo 2? Guy thinks Halo 3 didn't improve on Halo 2? What a blind man. Exercising his age and experience as a reason to support his "genuine" understanding of the Halo experience? My ass. The guy only likes HCE because it was his first game and he loved it. When Halo 2 made significant changes to movement, weaponry, and kill times (not even that significant, was still fast as hell), he called it off because it wasn't the same.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

Loads of fun and the best Halo MP yet.

  • 11.27.2012 6:49 PM PDT

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

I'd have more fun with it if I wasn't sick of competitive gaming.

If they patch the DMR, get rid of Ragnarok, Get rid of Join in Progress, bring in better playlists, I would have no problem with it. Oh also an actual ranking system.

I wouldn't say get rid of Ragnarok, but at the moment, it's far too common.

Also Team Snipers is pretty much ruined.

  • 11.27.2012 6:56 PM PDT

"This was a triumph...
I'm making a note here, huge success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction..."

It's good, but they need to bring infection back. Custom games isn't the same without it.

Flaws in Team Snipers:
- Flinch when shot
- No Pistol
- No mongooses
- Literally the only map is Ragnarok
- Everyone camps
- Lacks the Team Snipers feel.

AR should stay as is, it just barely beats out the BR/DMR at close range(whoever shoots first usually wins). The DMR could stand to have its close range capabilities tuned down a bit, maybe turn down the ROF a bit. BR is good as is. Carbine could use a slight buff(accuracy or damage and VERY slight). Boltshot needs to have its shotgun effect weakened, and it's normal fire type strengthened. Active camo should be buffed and turned into a pick-up only power-up. Need WAAAAAYYYYY more maps for matchmaking, same few maps are getting old.weapon spawns shouldn't have random timing or placement(and maybe remove the notification of their locations). Buff the accuracy of the machine guns on the mantis, hog, and stationary mounts.

EDIT:And a buff to thruster pack(outside infection).

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

Then respond with Adapt.

"War, the original crack"
-Albert Einstein

-Remove Join in Progress.
-Tone down the DMRs auto aim or slow its rate of fire.
-Make power weapons like Rockets, Snipers, etc spawn on map like previous Halos.
-Personal Ordinance drops contain things like Shotguns, grenades, power ups, Railgun, and maybe sticky detonater. As well as loadout weapon ammo drops.
-Remove camo as a starting ability. Place it on the map or make it a power up from drops.
-Remove the boltshot.

The only problem is the boltshot, make it that you cannot get a kill unless your literally three feet away from the person. If you get a hitmarker from about 5-10 feet away it drains the player's shields like normal. After 10 feet it disappears and has no effect towards the player, make the Dmr's fire rate a little bit slower but the range a good amount longer. Make the Br a four shot kill but just decrease the fire rate as well, make the auto aim range a little farther as well.

Halo 4 has a great multiplayer, just a few fixes and it will be an amazing game. Even Halo 3 wasn't perfect in the first weeks of release!

By the way, don't not buff/nerf the AR, it's perfectly fine as it is. They also need to add weapon spawns and not just ordnance drops.
