Bones of my enemies.

Glad to see Halo won another one at last, but Halo 4 does have it's issues.

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.

OP needs to change the title of the thread to "343 pays off Machinima to complement their dog-blam!- game"

I remember the support you were having for this game before 343 released it

Maybe just maybe it deserved it?
Name three things Halo 4 did better/improved on, on all the other games in the series. Other than copy Call of Duty.
Bonus quest-You also can't say graphics.


-Brilliant villain
-New weapon sounds are simply beautiful
-Forging itself is also a step up.

There we go, three things.
Except you got one part of that wrong....

Forge, is worse.


It's got the same features as before, + new ones. That is objectively better, unless I'm missing something.
From Forgehub:

>No nudge/ precision editing.

>NO WAYPOINT SUPPORT FOR FILE SHARE! (Will be fixed, but still should be at launch

>Glitches. Ok this is a big one. Halo 4 obviously has a lot of glitches. And it's crucial that they get fixed as soon as possible. But I feel like most of the more glaring glitches stand out enough that 343 is well aware that they need to get fixed. However of course people are welcome to address any glitches they want in their emails and posts to 343.

I will list a few of the glitches I've heard about and seen that are relative to forge and custom games, for ease of reference to people writing feedback.

- Objects moving slightly after a map is reloaded
- Dynamic lighting on a map glitches out sometimes after players go over a certain amount of budget.
- Map can be overwritten by other maps.
- Objects, weapons, vehicles not spawning in when they are they are suppose to/ if players are around.
- Explosions seem to be going through walls and shields.

I'm sure I'm missing some, and there's some that are yet to be discovered, but I will do my best to keep the list updated.

>Missing gametype options. Forge and custom gametypes go together like peanut butter and jelly! This is devastating.

Also here is a list (note section on custom games) to help with your emails: http://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/12zhkg/a_comprehensive_ list_of_halo_4s_shortcomings/

I am also working on my own comprehensive list. Since I've hosted somewhere around 6000 custom games, there's a lot I want to see come back/added.

>Needing a bigger, more open forging environment, that has a full spectrum of terrain, from jagged rocks, to small hills, to flat ground. But at the same time, still being small enough to not cause frame rate issues. The new map should also have a forerunner pallet with sharp edges and patterns that blend together better. Also it should have water that players can go into. More new pieces would really be nice too.


>Needless soft kill zones on the three forging maps. Very few forge piece on all the other "non forge" maps. This might not be fixable. But if we mention this in our emails hopefully they will make the maps they're working on right now better.

Yeah, and then I wasted $100.

1) Produced the most stable engine with the most artificial intelligence correctly working together and functioning at once.

2) Netcode has once again improved, beating Reach in all aspects, and Reach had some excellent netcode.

3) Forge can now utilize the entire budget, not lag with split-screen, and still render lighting and object preferences.

4) Forge has added useful new tools such as magnets, a fixed editing coordinate system (hello, Reach unsnapping), and more.

Four reasons that are not opinion.

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

Did not deserve it. But Machinima so there it is...

  • 12.09.2012 12:05 PM PDT

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

So a web channel gave Halo 4 GOTY over something else. Who gives a flying -blam!-?

If you like the game, keep playing it. If not, don't play it.

  • 12.09.2012 12:07 PM PDT

Like Skyrim... with guns!

  • 12.09.2012 12:08 PM PDT

I don't think it's game of the year worthy... I think Walking Dead or ME3 deserve it.

  • 12.09.2012 12:08 PM PDT

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

There we go, three things.

The Didact had a terrible death. The ending in general was bad.

Bad development too.

Congratulations, 343.

  • 12.09.2012 12:15 PM PDT

Halo 4 definitely deserved, it was one of my favorite games this year. Everything about it was good, the campaign, Spartan ops, multiplayer, but I kind of wish the forge maps were as big as Forge world.

  • 12.09.2012 12:21 PM PDT

It was well deserved!

You cant complain, if Halo didnt win I know who would have, do you?

Yeah, that terribru game, CoD.

Walking Dead?! The ARCADE game? Really? I didnt know a single person that enjoyed that.

And as for ME3, where were you when it got the most hate from its fans for being the worst put together game of the franchise?

  • 12.09.2012 12:25 PM PDT

Even though I enjoy Halo 4, that decision was completely biased.

That's possible. They did, after all, sponsor Forward Unto Dawn.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

It isn't like Halo 4 actually had competition.

Well many video game journalists, started with Halo... but Halo 4 doesn't deserve it because of it's multiplayer.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Lol at butthurt people in this thread. 343i paying off Machinima? Absolute dog-blam!- and you know it.

The walking dead was a fantastic game. Sure, it's not for everybody, but it has the best storytelling i've ver experienced in a video game, and hey, it won 5 awards at the VGA's, so it can't be all bad.
