Subject: Official thread for reasons why some of us don't like Halo 4.

hmm

This has probably been said, but lack of small maps.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

-They focused more on Cortana rather than the Forerunner story and the Didact

-Uneven, unfair, random multiplayer

Before I say this let me preface with, I'm not here to troll and come off as a fanboy, rather I want know this.

How would you do it differently and I mean this for everything? Remember you're limited to a three year development time, you have to compete with the best selling shooter franchise ever, you also have to meet the expectations of the MP junkies and the Lore fans who have read all the books, the comics and watched FUTD, so how would you do all of this differently?


OT: I am really disgusted with how M$ decided to cut people off from the Crimson DLC by passing it off as a "Trial edition of the maps" That's just bull-blam!-.

Ordinance drop is just, wow. Not only is it a problem for map movement but it is also random. Each player in the game has different 3 things to choose from.


Underlined the words in that sentence that have no meaning nor connotation, and are just used by people who simply dislike a feature but wish to sound more intelligent.
I thought the point he was making was very clear, and you're just attempting to over complicate what he's trying to say.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Ok I can see where you're coming from for all of your points except for one. You say that the ordnance drops discourages map movement and aparrently according to most people who say this, people camp and get ordnance dropped to them and never move.

I've literally never seen anyone do this ever, and granted it is annoying when people get something like speed boost and a rocket launcher, but I've never seen someone just camp and continuously get weapons.

I don't think the sun comment is a fair reason for part of the dislike

It is the sun after all, it's supposed to be bright

Having to unlock some perks at rank 50+ is BS.

Campaign blatantly disregards improvements and innovations set by predecessors.

I will not go into this because I'll just end up making a list that takes up several pages...

Saying that "the story is bad" and giving no actual reason as to why is just foolish. I will hopefully remain neutral here, but tell me why it is bad.

The story was not explainable to people who never read the books or watched the terminals. You shouldn't need books or terminals to understand the story or the main characters in the story. The story isn't strong enough to hold itself up.

You do have a point, but if you did read/watch everything, it is a very strong story.
The whole thing about chief being "the chosen one" was kind of built up from halo 3 IMO. Guilty Spark even says- "you are forerunner."


Enough with this. Master Chief is not the chosen one. The librarian mutated and evolved chief's dna so he could stand a chance against the didact. What exactly it did to him we dont know yet except that it made him immune to the composer and it made him 2 feet taller. If you want to speak about chosen ones then take humanity. But they've been the chosen heirs of the forerunners and weve known this since CE.

I don't know, maybe the librarian wasn't specifically talking about chief, maybe she was just expecting someone like him.

My third montage!

I've to realize that I don't completely hate it or even outright dislike it. I feel like Halo 4, to a lesser degree, suffers from the same problem that Reach did. Good core gameplay, but mucked up under the weight of so many gimmicky and just flat out weird design elements.

Forge is huge step backwards. The magnets are wonky. Pieces randomly disappear. Pieces randomly realign themselves after reloading a map, which ironically enough was a problem in halo 3.

The user interface is tedious to use. Say what you will about Reach but it's UI was spot on and made sense.

Lack of volume controls. Really? I don't even know what to say about this.

Those are just off the top of my head. I've been playing it. I've been enjoying it as well, but I know it could be better, much better.

The campaign is worse because you can't glitch out of the map?

Pretty much proves my fact on why people love halo 2.

I just think the game is boring. I'd rather play another two years of Halo: Reach than play this game.
