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

Ok, Halo 4 obviously strays a lot from actual Halo, I agree, that is true. But the idea of boycotting it is stupid.

^Very true.
And to clarify again, when I say "boycott" I mean move back to Halo 3 or onwards to other games until Halo 4 (or Halo 5) has time to grow or be accepted by the critics of the game. Actually boycotting 343i after they've released one title is a stupid move - so I make it clear that is NOT what I meant with my original post.

Yeah... no. I hope you don't seriously think that this will work.

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

They already have your money; this will accomplish nothing.

Just to clarify:

-I don't hate Halo 4 (it's better than Reach), I just think that Halo 2 and 3 were more addictive and balanced games in terms of multiplayer. Halo 4 is just missing the incentive to keep playing after you've hit the top ranks, mainly due to the lack of ranking systems/ranked playlists.

-I personally think that instead of complaining about Halo 4 we can just go back to Halo 3 - if enough people do this (even if its only 500 to 1000), 343i will still notice that Halo 3 has a decent population for a game that has been out for five years.

-My friends were strong Halo 3 players, but they were shaken by Reach and have now left Halo after Halo 4. I know I'm not the only person this has happened to.

-Microsoft is to blame for the Map Pack problems, not 343i.

-343i have done an excellent job in other areas of Halo 4 - improved graphics, improved audio, best campaign in a Halo game for a long time, Spartan Ops is a worthy successor to Firefight, and the music is actually quite well composed.

Hopefully that clears things up.
Thanks for reading.


^Just to make my motivations clear again.

Once again, I want to point out that I'm not a Halo 4 hater and I don't want to actually "boycott" the game. My original post was badly worded, but basically I want to wait to Halo 5 to see what the future of the series is.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I'd rather play reach than ever touch H3. What a horrid game.

Final post I'll make about this:

I do NOT want to actually "boycott" Halo 4. I simply think that if Halo 4 isn't our cup of tea then we should go back to Halo 3 or (god forbid) Halo Reach. There are tens of thousands who still play the game, and they are right to do so. 343i have plenty of opportunities to make Halo 5 a perfect game that is a blend of the past Halo games, while having that level of addiction and sense of achievement that Halo 2 and Halo 3 had. Halo 4 is still a success in many ways and it is not right to ditch the game.

I don't want to be associated with a "boycott" of the game of a developer with a lot of potential, and my original post was a badly and somewhat provocative wording of my point that we and anyone else who doesn't feel Halo 4 is their cup of tea need to go back to Halo 3 or Reach and sit tight until a Halo game that satisfies us comes along. Heck, it might not be until Halo 6. It might be never. Or it might be Halo 4 come January when they re-introduce ranks and begin "fixing" the game according to the concerns or needs of the player base.

The future isn't as dark as it is made out to be, and I personally have hope that 343i can produce a game that satisfies enough people to allow the game to survive for as long as Halo 2 and Halo 3 did.

I hope that shows you what I was saying with my original post.
Thanks for reading.

Let's face it. We're going to have to deal with this same butthurt minority over the course of this new trilogy.

It certainly got out of hand fast.
I regret posting that comment.

I am the Core. And I am not pleased.

How about, no.

I don't want A EFFING HALO THREE REMAKE FOR HALO FIVE GODDAMNIT!

I like halo 4 and think it's a decent game, I hope that some things will be fixed but overall it's a good game!

Get your collective heads out your asses and realize that a companies first game ISN'T GOING TO BE PERFECT. Duh!



Halo 5 will be improved, and still everybody is going to hate it because of "oh MC is a chatterbox now" or "OMG GUIZ cortana can't love chief! She is a program" or even "ZOMG 343 IZ RIPPING UZ OFF" a companies first endeavor into this is going to have faults, I doubt that bungie started off flawlessly.

Bungie knew what it was doing when they left halo in the hands of 343 most of 343 are bungie employees that transferred over to dedicate to halo.

So grow up, realize that not everybody wants a halo 3 remake, and a first game is not without flaws halo 5 will fix things and I have no doubt it will be an amazing game. But yet some people will still hate on it because it isn't mad by a certain name that is mostly the new name now.

I hope you see mu point.
