Wanna know something even more depressing? There's 3 map packs and 2 more games waiting.

Stop complaining, nobody's forcing you to buy it. If you want the "good old Halo" then go play them. Nobody says you can't play them anymore. I for one enjoy Halo 4, and intend to get a fun experience out of it.

Yeah I saw that. The one they showed off is very disappointing.

Infinity Slayer is just something they had to do to make the MP fresh.

If that's the best idea they had to make Halo 'fresh' (lolbuzzwords), then they are not at all qualified for their jobs.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

There are going to be people attacking me for this, but it is true whether anybody likes it or not.

What are the true detriments of Halo 4? Lack of options. That's it. Custom Options, Theater, Campaign Scoring, Forge Options, and Firefight. Everything else that is shipped with the game works as intended. Whether they are lacking in quality is dependent on the way you look at it, like Spartan Ops and the UI.

I know I'm going to get heat for this, but this game was not designed with the key Halo formula in mind. I am honestly laughing at some of the people that are disappointed with this game for multiplayer reasons. Saying how it isn't balanced, competitive, or even "Halo" makes me laugh. It's like, no -blam!- -blam!-? You are just realizing that now?

The moment I saw one multiplayer game way before release, I knew this game wasn't going to be the "Halo" that I once loved. I came to terms with that then, and I wasn't disappointed when I finally got what I expected. A casual, unbalanced, and incentive-lacking generic sci-fi fps. In laymen's terms, Reach 2.0 or Call Of Halo. I know for a fact that some are going to be pissed at me for making that statement, but just look at the damn game.

You have to unlock everything for your custom loadouts. That right there is two giant points that take this game far away from the classic Halo style. Ordinance Drops. Now we are just getting even farther into the unbalanced section of multiplayer. Instant and Dynamic Spawning. These should have been major things to think about back then as well. Don't forget about irremovable Sprint as well. Do you want to know what the best part about it is though? None of the aspects in this paragraph are "detriments" to the game, and they are not "broken". They just break the foundation of the classic Halo game mechanics. Is that bad? The answer is only yes if you are looking at this game from a Halo/competitive standpoint, and if you were looking at this game from a Halo/competitive standpoint at launch, then I guess you should have watched at least one multiplayer game before buying the damn thing.

Is Halo 4 pushing the community away? I would say yes if it was referring to the competitive and/or classic Halo multiplayer community. I would also agree that the lack of options are major detriments to the overall package of Halo 4 as well, and were a backstab overall.

343i just wants to make this new trilogy their franchise. It is only a bad thing if you are looking at it the wrong way.

I would agree that what is good isn't really much, but there is some promise in the game itself. I just hope they fix the mistakes they have made asap.


I agree with this post.

343 needs to overhaul the game in a dual MM update and title update. Wipe infinity slayer off the face of the earth, and get back to actual Halo.

lol, never going to happen.

Pretty much this
EDIT: It's not that I don't like the game. I very much do. It's that infinity slayer in my opinion blows. So, as long as there are other playlist, I'll keep playing Halo 4.
How is scoring points any different to scoring kills exactly?

Distraction! You walked in a straight line and got shot, then your teammate saved your ass.
Assist! Sit in your base/camp on the sides of the map with active camo.
Steal a few kills.
Here now you get a rocket launcher to camp in a corner/near objective with/without camo for 4+ free kills. Glad you had to work for that.

I still play Halo Reach. BUNGiE really knows how to make lasting fun.

I refuse to play non BUNGiE created Halo games. Plain and simple.

OH GOD PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GOING BACK TO REACH!!??!!

ABORT 343i. ABORT

Seriously, how many people actually play Reach?


I went back to Reach. It plays so much better than Halo 4, and that's because it sucks. I would be on Halo 3, but it's almost impossible finding a decent game searching as a random.

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.

The lack of File Browser isn't helping, either.

Halo 4 confirmed for Blunder of the Year.

I doubt it. Older fans always complain when games start to slowly change. They just release the same three games over and over so people will stop complaining.

Yeah, that's true. It takes forever to find a game in H3. I would still be playing H2, but xbox connect is too crap.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

What you mean MLG? Haha thats funny.

Most "Skilled" players say "I play MLG im pro im better than you wanna 1v1??" Quite frankly im glad that is gone. Skillful gameplay doesn't mean use 1 overpowered weapon (BR or CE Pistol) and glitches like super bouncing and BxR.

All the Halo games people adore are bugged and unbalanced, Reach and 4 are the most balanced games in the series yet people hate them.

Just admit you love unbalanced games you can exploit and then call yourself awesome.

You're a complete -blam!- moron.

That made him the 4th INTERNET FAMOUS YouTuber I'm subscribed to to drop Halo from their daily content in this month alone. It's jaw dropping, really.


Oh. My. God.

Stop the presses! Call Obama. No wait call the UN. No wait call WW2 RUssia! The world must know this! Clear the telegraph lines, Washington will want to hear about this!

Eh, the multiplayer isn't great but it's still fun.

They just need to add ranked playlists, fix customs, fix certain weapons (BOLTSHOT,) make stuff like Team Snipers a permanent playlist, etc...

Because 4 people = the entire community.

Their opinions on the game aren't more valid because they are better at it or because they're famous. Get over yourself.

Games lose and gain players all the time.

Sure some people will leave the Halo franchise after the 4th installment, but keep in mind that they will be replaced with a new audience of Halo players that prefer the changes that 343i made to the game.

Also keep in mind that the actions of a few famous or well known individuals can't be used as a archetype for an entire community of these so called 'classic' fans or 'hardcore' fans.

You unlock this door with the key of inebriation. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of gingers, a dimension of drunks, a dimension of Lucky Charms. You're moving into a land of both beer and potatoes, of marshmallows and leprechauns. You've just crossed over into... the Shamrock Zone.

Infinity Slayer is sprinkling jelly beans on the wedding cake that was originally sensible multiplayer design.

  • 11.29.2012 6:03 PM PDT

I, personally love Halo 4. Sure, it's got its problems(Large number of ordinance drops puts too many power weapons on the map, boltshot, lack of maps, random power weapon spawns, no regular weapon spawns). Through its problems though, I still find the game very enjoyable, if they'd add more maps into the matchmaking, make ordinance drops less frequent, and add weapons to the maps, the game would be near perfection.
