Subject: What if Halo 4 had a public beta?

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lube.

I don't normally post Halo 4 threads, but this intrigued me.

How different would Halo 4 be if it had a Beta?

I can agree that probably half of what's wrong with Halo 4 wouldn't have been fixed with a beta. (Lack of customizable options in prior games, Theatre Mode problems for machinima) But, imagine if they had a Beta, which could have been used to find all these bugs that persist in Halo 4 currently, and incorporate player feedback, which could have been used to fix weapon balance and etc.

Would that have changed your view on Halo 4 now?

They had plenty of time to perfect the game.

You guys say Halo 2 was the best evar, even though when it was a pre patch game, it was terrible...

But a beta would have been nice

They could have easily fixed a lot of the issues with the game if they had a public beta.

It would have ended up like Reach, with a community that complains endlessly about everything and nothing.


Oh wait, we still have that.

I stopped playing Halo 4 becuase of its repetitiveness and boring gameplay, which isn't a problem fixed with a beta.

no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

Betas are worthless now a days. It basically comes down to if it killed me it's over powered.

Today's gaming community really disgusts me. Now a days, it's nothing but a bunch of crying self entitled little -blam!-es.

So much this. I didn't know this was the Halo 4 forum.

Edit: BTW, Halo 4 had a beta. A private beta.

If it was public, then there's a chance you wouldn't be able to walk through walls when then game shipped.

The issues with matchmaking MAY have been addressed. But to be honest, I don't think 343 really cared. They certainly didn't do much to communicate what they were doing to address the problems.

Oh right, because they're supposed to be available 24/7 so they can be there at your every beckoned call.

Feet first into hell

If Halo 4 had a beta, people would whine about how the beta was better than the final product.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

I just wish they hadn't cut so many gametypes and custom game options. I also wish they would incorporate the three or four Forge maps they have built in but won't use for some reason.

Also, playlists need to have more than just one possible gametype.

I really think those little changes would have made all the difference for a portion of players.

Everyone complained about the Forge maps in Reach. Now you want Forge maps to be added in Halo 4?

Make up your God damn minds!

The only things that would of been changed was some holes in each map. Those hidden spots would have been found and patched, that's about it.

But what about those supposed over powered weapons. Currently the community thinks the following weapons are over powered:

BR
DMR
Carbine
Bolt Shot
Sniper Rifle
Storm Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Magnum
Plasma Pistol
Shotgun
Rail Gun
Spartan Laser
Sticky Detonator
Needler
Energy Sword
Beam Rifle
Concussion Rifle
Binary Rifle
Incineration Cannon
Light Rifle
Scattershot
Suppressor
Gravity Hammer
Plasma Grenade
Pulse Grenade
Frag Grenade

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Although I get what you are saying, I bet you can not find one person who thinks the Suppressor, Storm Rifler, or Pulse Grenades are OP.

I am a monument to all your sins

I think much of what is wrong with Halo 4 is in balancing, so a beta could have really benefited the game imo.
