I don't.
I've played this game with as much of an open mind as much as possible. I've tried to stay as positive as much as I could, ignoring the gaping holes and flawed sense of balance this game was showing. I've tried time and time again to adapt; change my playstyle so I could do better. I've tried...
and failed.
No videogame has ever gotten me so frustrated as much as Halo 4 (MW3 is close). It's just hard for me to have fun with this game.
"lol its just a gaim y u takin it so srsly?"
I like to be at videogames, just like I like to be good at drawing, writing, running, etc. Do you know how one becomes at something? By practice, dedication, and taking it a little bit seriously.
Halo 4 seems to punish you heavily for every bad prediction and the littlest mistake. Trying to think fast and on your feet? Nope, sit back down. Meanwhile, Halo 4 also seems to greatly reward turtling, camping and an overall slowly-style sense of play. This is greatly apparent when play BTB. Why rush toward the middle for the power-weapons when you can just sit in the back and earn yourself a rocket launcher? I can kinda see the reasoning behind ordnance drops; they're there so they can discourage spawn-trapping by giving the losing team a chance (although in order to spawn trap in the first place you had to have really good team coordination).
It sounds good in theory, but when put into practice it is a horrible idea. O.D. discourages getting closer and map movement. The team that camps the most wins. Is that what Halo now has been reduced to?
TL;DR I don't like Halo 4 and I don't understand why other people do.
