It has been over 3 weeks since Halo 4 came out. By now, I'm sure you've all played Infinity Slayer; the new central take on how Halo multiplayer is played. How do you feel about it? Do you miss the old format of equal starting grounds and predictable weapon pick-ups, or do you prefer the new design of personal ordnance and custom starts? Reach was more or less a stepping stone towards Infinity multiplayer.

Personally, I miss the old format. It feels like the game revolves around the DMR and alternative precision weapons now. It leads to a lot of frustration and lame, unexciting encounters with everyone spamming the trigger. There aren't many weapons to pick up around the map either. That said, it's still fun.

Quite an indefinite skirmish.

Pass the controller bro

its fun

DMR and Boltshot ensure dominance. Also, far too many power weapons.

I only play big team really.

My troll sense is tingling.

It's odd. In Reach, I noticed the different players using different loadouts quite a lot. While in 4, I barely notice that kind of thing. Could just be the mood I'm in but I'm more focused on my actual experience which I am enjoying more than Reach.

One thing though, people are far too unwilling to take your ordnance. I'm trying to help you out teammates! Take the cool weapon!

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

It's terrible like the rest of the game.

That and BTIS are my main two game-types, as Reach had it done horribly wrong and the maps were all pathetically small.

Even if the maps in Halo 4 continue to be the same, at least they offer good vehicles and large areas.

BTB infinity slayer is horrible, now 95% of people use ammo upgrade and get ridiculous amount of power weapons from ordnance drops.
4v4 infinity slayer isnt THAT bad, but it still sucks

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

It's wonderful.
I feel like it's a very nice change of pace after the imbalance that we experienced during Halo: Reach.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

It's okay. I don't like the perks and AA's, but I still find myself having some kind of fun when I play.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

It's horrible.

  • 11.29.2012 1:26 PM PDT

It's okay.

My main problem is that, while I seem to only get the same weak drops over and over, everyone on the other team seems to constantly be getting Spartan Lasers, Sniper/Binary Rifles, and Rocket Launchers. A Needler, Overshield, and a Gravity Hammer just aren't going to compete with those in BTB.

This, of course, can often ruin the ability to enjoy the game. I just want a normal 4v4 Slayer and a normal BTB Slayer to play in Matchmaking.

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

OMG GAIZ, LETS PLAY TEAM POWER WEAPONS! WITH INSTANT RESPAWN AND MOAR POWER WEAPONS WHEN YOU DO WHAT A NORMAL PEARSON WOULD DO IN THE FIRST PLACE! HURRAY!

Seriously, it's an abomination that needs to be eradicated

I don't mind it, but it's not the playlist that I'll go and play when I get on Halo 4.

  • 11.29.2012 1:41 PM PDT

I'm surprised that I enjoy it. Prefer the objective game types though, specifically flag.

I miss everyone starting off equal, with predictable weapons on the map.

Infinity Slayer isn't terrible, but I definitely prefer the old format.
