I don't like it because I didn't buy it.

The only thing i dont like about it is it does not feel like an arena style shooter. Perks, load outs, aa's, if it had the feel and play style of a arena shooter and not gone down the road of cod i could see my self really enjoying it.

1. Bad Character Design (Elites, Jackals, Grunts, Cortana, Spartan IV Armor, etc.)

2. Some classic sounds have been changed for the worse (Warthog, Plasma Weapons, Ghost, etc.)

3. The plot seemed simplistic, un-Halo like, and childish. Also I disliked how much it focused on Cortana, is seemed to have focused more on her than on moving the story forward.)

4. Forge and Custom games has taken a step backwards.

5. I deeply dislike how 343i is using the Forerunners I preferred it when they were an ancient mysterious race that mysteriously disappeared, also that all the story about the Forerunners 343 has added I dislike.

I actually kind of like the multiplayer. Some of the maps are terrible, though. 343 Industries needs to implement a Team Doubles playlist, though, and make other playlists permanent like Team Snipers.

I've only played through the Campaign once, so I haven't come to a consensus yet, but nothing made me say "wow" during my only playthrough.

Spartan Ops has felt pretty underwhelming to me, to be honest. The cutscenes seem to be the only thing I care about, as I find most of the actual missions repetitive or boring.

Forge is basically a carbon copy of Reach's, so I was pretty disappointed with that. Though there are new, useful tools like the magnets, Forge is still largely the same.

The lack of custom game options is, in the words of Charles Barkley, "turrible".

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Let's see...
-Grenades too powerful
-Plasma grenades in loadout
-Melee way too powerful
-Teaming system is BS
-Not as much about skill as the gimmicks
-Way too gimmicky
-Forge is awful
-Rockets are way too powerful
-Supressor

It's fun at times, the maps are my biggest issue.

Because why not? Can't like everything, right?

First Halo game that I lost interest after the first week of playing. Halo 3 held me for years, Halo Reach for a couple of months. Halo 4 just gets boring.

I strongly dislike the Cortana character. She basically spoon feeds the story for the campaign levels I've played so far.

I'm tempted to finish the campaign because I know she dies, but I'm afraid they'll try to make it a tear-jerker instead of the celebration it should be.

Definitely the completely destroyed custom games options. It's ridiculous that most popular gametypes are impossible to make. ( unless you mod the game )

On a different note, I love the gameplay and the campaign. It all flows very nicely. I just want my customs back... :(

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.

Well first of all campaign is fun once for me. It had nothing worthwhile where I went, "I want to play through that again." and there is no campaign scoring. I would probably have played the Halo 4 campaign 100 more times if it had campaign scoring.

I like it where everyone starts out with the same weapons then have to go out and get the ones they want. Having to learn the map, what time weapons spawns, etc. Not only that but random weapon spawns, highlighted weapons, and ordinance drops defeats that whole purpose. Also, a whole team running around with power weapons in BTB isn't fun because vehicles are just useless.

Less custom options in custom games ruin the whole custom part of it. Spartans ops, you can't customize. No campaign theater mode and for some reason killcams are broken. None of the weapons aesthetically, look good to me.

These are reasons why I dislike Halo 4.

Yeah, I always liked her, but in this game they made seem extremely -blam!- which bothers me, especially during the ending scene. (Not the mention the whole scene doesn't make sense) One more thing is the game seems over-feminized.

-Grenades too powerful

They're a lot weaker than Reaches, a bit better than halo 3s

-Plasma grenades in loadout

Eh, Big Team would be horrible without this, but yeah its pretty different

-Melee way too powerful

Huh? Do you prefer the halo 2 system?

-Teaming system is BS

Yeah, its not that great

-Not as much about skill as the gimmicks

IDK about that, now that rifle duels are actually a thing (couh reach cough) there is serious potential for skill, the sandbox being expanded doesn't hurt either, it just takes more adjustment.

-Way too gimmicky

Elaborate?

-Forge is awful

Yeah.

-Rockets are way too powerful

Power weapon? But yeah they are pretty damn good.

-Supressor

What? its basically a spiker, good dps up close, pair with melee.

Multiplayer lacks incentive. 343 has opted for that monotonous CoD xp progression system rather than the clearly superior skill based ranking system present in Halo 2/3 (in other words, yes, the ranking system is Reach 2.0).

Forge/screenshots/videos, etc, are pretty much meaningless to me at the moment because file share is still down (seriously?).

Minus the cutscenes, Spartan Ops's missions so far have been pretty poorly thrown together. Just give me fire fight.


I still like the game a lot though. In my opinion, the campaign and game technology, surpasses anything Bungie has put out thus far.

  • 12.12.2012 9:17 PM PDT

Maps. God damn, that game needs maps. Badly.
