Subject: Actual reasons for hate on Halo 4

Okay people. What are your actual reason for hating Halo 4? And I want thought through answers with reasons.

Don't worry I'm not here to judge. I myself, am 50/50 with this game. But there's something I can't put my finger onto why half of my body doesn't enjoy it.

Thumbs up:
Campaign was interesting in places,
Multiplayer can be refreshingly new in some ways,
Spartans Ops is an interesting new game mode

Thumbs down:
Campaign was too Hollywood and emotionally gushy and lacked the original Halo experience charm,
Multiplayer just seems to be watered down (ie. Shield recharge rate reduced, grenades nerfed, general lack of concern of being killed even less than that experienced in Reach etc.),
Game lacked features (ie. Campaign Theater)

These's probably more ups and downs that I just can't remember, but what are your guys reasons?

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Some of the dialogue in Campaign/Spartan Ops, in particular with Master Chief and Palmer, is plain awful.

She said that to me once.

I'm all for Chief talking more and being emotionally deeper; as long as the dialogue is good and suits his character.

The file browser still doesn't work. It should have been ready to go on release.

only thing I agree with is the grenades being nerfed to death.

Why would an entirely new trilogy have the same "original charm"?


Why would Halo not keep it originality?

No big problems with the campaign, not as good as CE but a huge improvement on R33ch. But...
The multiplayer is horrendous, ordinance and armor abilities run it completely.
Spartan ops is just boring, repetitive and Palmer is annoying.
Custom Games are nothing like they were in 3+R33ch (No infection, race)
and where's the forge world??? I'd much rather have green+grey than nothing at all.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Pros:
I liked the campaign, despite it being short. I hated the story, but enjoyed the gameplay.
Most of the new weapons shine in campaign.

Cons:
Competitive multiplayer sucks.
Weapon balance is awful.
Ordnance drops instead of fixed weapon spawns really hurt the flow of gameplay.
THEATER IS STILL 1 PLAYER ONLY. WHY?!!!
Custom games actually have fewer options than before. I do enjoy them, but come on.
Forge is very similar to Reach, with somewhat worse Forge maps.
Map design is horrific.
Spartan Ops doesn't have any original content. AT ALL.
The file browser is still broken, somehow. That sucks, because it was one of the best features in Reach.

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

- I have to crack out a USB stick and search online to download Infection Modes with customisable weapons. (Same with a removed-sprint slayer).
- So much randomness it's not fun to play against. Random ordinance, random weapons. Weapons spawning assymetrically on a symmetrical map.

Fix customs, Regular weapon spawns on maps that make sense, stick a few Classic modes/restricted loadout modes and I'd be perfectly happy with the multiplayer.

No, 343 gave us three tempest size maps.

What does this even mean?

I believe that was due to time constraints, and I believe they are currently working to implement theater for Campaign and Spartan Ops.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

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.

Pros-Shiny graphics

That it's trying too hard to fill themes that a Hollywood film would usually have. I admit it's mainly in the dialogue of the game that I notice it but I just don't like it.

Like what exactly? I'm trying to imagine how you see it and I'm not getting it. And I'm remembering the campaign and I don't see any instance of it trying to be a Hollywood film.

I thought it felt more like the original Halo than any of the other Halos.

I love how people are complaining about things like grenades being nerfed when in Reach all I ever heard was that grenades were like nukes.

Thanks to those complainers, grenades other than a stick are utterly useless.

Hey, a man's allowed to complain if he feels his favorite franchise is losing it's way.

So you expected people not to complain about grenades not being nukes, and then expect people not to complain about the opposite in a different game?
