So people officially never stop complaining?
We never should. The day people become satisfied with what we have is the day the human race stops evolving.

1) ever heard of Christmas price cuttings dip-blam!-?
2) first time soloing a game, bound to have problems smartass
3) where did you get this from? IGN gave it a 9.8/10 GI gave it a (I think) 9.5-10
4) well, what do you think is going to happen when people hate it just because it has changed -blam!-
5) can't explain that one other than FINALS ARE COMING PEOPLE GET OFF TO STUDY SMART ONE.


Of course IGN gave it a good rating theyve been ranking COD as like top game every year.

Two grievances:

-MP patches include campaign. Chief's awesome super grenade throw is slow again. :/ Have they learned nothing from Halo 2 Vista, which is an inferior experience due to the lack of classic glitches?

-campaign still has no Theater and not a word from 343 about it returning

I don't think it should have the Halo title in it. It tries to be everything except Halo.

How so?

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.

Custom loadouts, random ordinance, no more arena type multiplayer, Zoom in flinch, unlock progressive rank for weapons, instant spawns, perks, AA, etc, and random weapons spawns. I say it is trying to be more like Call of Duty. It has no competitive aspect to multiplayer just randomness.

I'd stick to slayer pro (When it's actually around) then, but can I ask, arena type multiplayer?

From Halo 3 to Halo Reach, the quality of the game dropped unforgivably. While Halo 4 may not be perfect, it definitely improved on many of the setbacks Bungie made in Reach.

From Halo 3 to this piece of -blam!-. It shouldn't even have the Halo name, it is the worst Halo game ever created. FACT.

Everyone starts out with the same weapon, vehicle on each side, and people have to get the weapons on the map that are placed there and not random. Pretty much, if you are the better player you will know, how long it takes for each weapon to spawn on the map, where the weapons spawns, and where to go to get that weapon. There is more to it than that.

Now? Random and for some reason the weapons are hightlighted?

opinions, opinions everywhere

look, if you don't like the way halo's going then leave, no one wants you playing halo if you're just going to -blam!- like a douchenozzle.

This applies to any series; if you don't like it then leave, we don't care about your monotonous -blam!-ing about a game you don't like every other hour.
This right here is an example of the cancer that's killing the Halo community. Why can't people just come to terms with the fact that there ARE things about Halo 4 to criticize? Yes, it may be somebody's opinion that Halo 4 is garbage, while somebody else thinks it's a masterpiece, and I have no problems with that. What I do have problems with is that there are still stupid apologists who shrug off any form of criticism and belligerently defend their favorite shooter with "don't like it, don't play it".

News flash: it's not so cut and dry. There are long time Halo fans here who are incredibly disappointed and left scratching their heads as to how this game was not only so very well received but also how there are still people who refuse to accept that it's terribly flawed and needs some serious adjustment to be brought back to its former glory. Get a grip on things and try to understand why people are criticizing the game.

1.) Many new games see price cuts for the holidays. Happens every year with almost all the big titles.

2.) It's their first full game that they are managing online. They reiterated that in the early stages, playlists would rotate in and out and that title updates would attempt to streamline things and add a ranking system hopefully in January. This is actually smart. No reason to think that MM would be perfect right out the box, and instead they test entirely playable games to see what people are playing and what they do/don't like. Again, this is a smart business practice. If you don't have patience, go take your ritalin. (Not to mention, Microsoft, not 343i, messed up the Crimson release)

3.) You cited Metacritic. Automatic fail.

4.) Trusting users to accurately rate a game on a subjective scale that is different for every person that rates games is terrible too.

5.) The population is going up, not down. Halocharts is inaccurate. More people are buying the game as it gets closer to holidays. Also, people are now firmly entrenched in Halo, CoD, or Battlefield. PLUS, the FPS genre is bleeding, albeit slowly. The FPS market is over-saturated, and almost no company is bringing true innovation to the genre. Many gamers can get their fix elsewhere nowadays.

I firmly disagree that this is the worst Halo.

Wow. For a moment i felt like halo 4 was actually the worst halo ever but then i read this and it made me feel so much better.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

I disagree. I don't think any Halo deserves to be called the worst. If anything, the least good. But I don't think Halo 4 is even that.

There was a great jump in production quality from Halo 3 to Reach. The problems with Reach were mostly down to three flaws in design that could have been fixed but weren't for a while. When they were addressed (zero bloom, bleedthrough, and an updated map roster), the game played brilliantly and completely DESTROYS anything Halo 4 currently has to offer.

It's just too bad that the whiny 343 community wasn't ready for such a shift in the way the game played (plus some annoyances with bleedthrough), and Reach mostly returned to the way it was before. Thanks again, community.

Terribly flawed? Refuse to accept? Bring it back to its former glory?

Why don't you try to stop shoving your opinion on other people's throats?

I guess you just wanted Halo 2.5 or 3.5. The irony is that haters think that 4 is terribly flawed and unplayable, but Halo 2 was riddled with bugs and glitches, but it is still regarded as the ultimate Halo experience.

No, YOU are the true cancer that is killing the gaming industry, you just want the same rehashed crap again, people like you are the reason devs are so afraid of trying new ideas. Why risking losing your fanbase, when you can just rehash the same game with slightly different features, and the idiotic sheeple will just buy and praise it?

Yes. Halo 4 is officially the worst Halo.

You're kidding, right?

You think people hate Halo 4 because of "glitches" and "bugs"? So clueless... The irony of it all is that you say we want a "rehash" of the same game with slightly different features. Have you even played Halo 4? That is the epitome of a "rehashed" game.

Halo used to be a unique game, a genre of it's own. Now, it plays like EVERY other FPS out there. Complete trash. We wanted Halo to stay Halo.

Clueless...

How so? I had no idea that 343i or Microsoft declared it the worst Halo ever. Can you stop being so dramatic?

Stop projecting. You've completely missed my point and proven it altogether. I don't want rehashed crap, I want a game that's worthy of all of the praise it's been getting. As for Halo 2, yes, it was chock full of glitches and exploitables, and even with those flaws remained an incredibly engaging and fun title as thousands and thousands of people will surely tell you. From a production quality standpoint, it may be at a lower wrung, but you can't argue with good design where it counts - that's where Halo 4 fails.

Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I know that this is officially the worst thread on the Flood.
