Subject: I'm starting to like Halo 4

Its at its best on mid-range maps like Adrift and Haven. Big Team Battle is a mess because of DMR sniping from across the map, and CQC maps are pretty much nonexistent.
That said the gameplay is still solid, fast paced and rewarding, when you're not in BTB. Definitely needs some patching though.

also, -blam!- jetpack and anyone who uses it.

lol the jetpack is one of the MAIN reasons I'm starting to like tha game. The verticallity in maps is ridiculous, and the radar on Abandon is near to useless because of the 4 levels in the map.

The jetpack fixes a lot of this, but I wish Firebird medals were still rewarded. I guess 343 didn't want to give out medals for using specific AAs like in Reach, but this seems odd to me, since they were willing to add a Generic Kill medal and a Comeback kill medal.

The main reason I hate it is because of those people who fly above your cover just to last hit you, then get immediately taken down by your team anyway.
I'm just hoping they tone down the DMR, or just take out the Light Rifle and DMR for Big Team Battle. Those two weapons combined with insta-spawn just break the gametype. You can't gain any ground once you've lost it since people just pop up a second later and kill you from a mile away.

Not playing it.

Wait, I thought you said you enjoyed it.


It's a decent game. It's just that I own better games, and thus get more enjoyment when I'm not playing Halo 4.

What are these "better" games?


Skyrim, Prototype 2, ACIII, AC:B...mainly Skyrim...I've played through Halo 4's campaign maybe once and never bother putting it back in my X-Box.

They need to either remove or seriously improve JIP, and improve team balancing at the start of matches - I do not want to play 1 vs 5 in Dominion or 5 vs 2 in CTF. 5 vs 4 is acceptable as long as JIP works properly and puts someone else in the game very shortly after the start.

JIP would be fine for me if the game didn't try to match you with people of your same skill. I like competition as much as the next guy, but playing against tryhards in playlists where I do good gets lame after a while.

I got it today and its really fun..my only concerns are the boltshot and the lack of good playlists

Atleast you're having fun with the Halo 5 beta.

I could have sworn that the radar was supposed to show you which elevation people were at as well as location.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

I like how the maps are at least better than Reach's and that, at the very least, P Ordinance prevents boring, one team has all the power weapons in a pub slayer games.

CTF games always have people constantly going for the flags since they're worth so much to score and going for one solo isn't a guaranteed death sentence with the flagnum.

That this is the best game for random matchmaking to date, and possibly the most strategic if both teams work out roles with AAs and loadouts. I'd like to see that for MLG instead of having them strip down 90% of the -blam!- game.

Also, even though it's really good already, Dominion would be even better if rockets and snipers didn't spawn in bases.
