BETAOPTICS

I think the RNG is just laughing at you and me, I have gotten only once sniper rifle and rocket launcher but every game I see has 3 snipers at the same time. I play IBTB mostly though.

I agree with you, if they do not quickly make classic modes and bring the Halo 4 MP as it was is Halo CE-Halo 3 for us veteran fans, this game will die very quickly as almost half the community hates the new formula Halo 4 has. Usually half less gamers can shut down a corporation in this industry.

I will simple comment agreed. Well written post.

This point is true, it is 343 first game, but not all of the employees first game, nor first Halo game. A lot of Bungies old employees transferred to 343 in order to keep making Halo series, so they are familiar on how the Halo was and should be and therefore they will get harsher critic than usual first timer game companies. When there are veterans of the industry, especially the specific franchise like Halo, the expectations for them is higher than average. You can´t call a crappy movie from some movie director legend like George Lucas a good film when it obviously sucks, you get my metaphor? Still they now have opportunity to make things better but we as a community can help them by giving them the points that need to be improved and if 343 Industry listens, they can still bring Halo 4 to it´s former glory. It has sold a lot, that is true and there are fans that like the new Halo 4 but then there are veterans who don´t so the community will be split in two, it means the player base is half as big as it used to be.

If we look the game outside the box, compare it to it´s predecessors as well competitive titles on the market, OP has valid points. If you are just too much of a fanboy or still caught up with the hype, please think a bit before typing your comment. You don´t have to agree with every point, nobody does have to do that but these are very valid complaints that have been well represented as well as the explained why they are as the way they are. I understand that if you think it is the best game ever made, you won´t easily allow anybody to complain about the lacking aspects of the game, but when you actually criticize your favorite game and really think about the cons (BTW there are always problems in games, there is no such thing as perfect.) You will find out that these are the biggest problems the game has. I don´t hate or love the game as many of you by now have come into that conclusion. It is unpolished product with great potential, it just needs attention a bit more from 343 Industries. Instead of trying to arrange a flame war or saying that the fame is "perfect" try to help him by either agreeing that there are some points you wish to be better in the future or then just shut up, it will not lead to anywhere. At least he is trying to make the game better and influence instead of trying to prove something to be not true, while it is the truth, a fact as you will call it.

Well if they are free or 80 points max then sure I think I can do that but not more, also I would prefer there would not be an actual Black color in the game. There is enough of these cliche unoriginal wannabe cool players that use steel as main color and most commonly red which is by no far cool, it is emo-ish if something. Though the other colors with steel are just wannabe cool guy colors.

Today, one of my match with friends started in Ragnog (?) setting 5v8, you can guess how the map balance went. They spawn trapped us for the duration of the whole game, having a upper hand in both map and scores. Not only did they just camp and spawn killed anyone they saw, the game rewarded them with 3 binary sniper rifles, 2 regulars ones, the basic vehicles and all the camping with DMR they could get, but then the game decided to balance things out by giving us a whole single sniper rifle ONCE! Oh that joy when our teammate went to fight solely against the 5 camping snipers while the rest kept spawn killing us with Banshees and the robot (sorry forgot the name). EDIT: What I mean is that this is the problem of people leaving at any point so it will be a hard thing to balance out, firstly it is unfair to be in the team like we were, right from the start we had the lower hand and nothing could´ve been done other than let some players join the game, but then it also allows you to leave in mid game if it does not seem to be a good match so what can you do about it? if there will be possibility for someone to join anytime, there will be possibility to leave and unfortunately there is no penalty at all this time around, what is the most amusing thing to me is that the Reach community has clearly bought Halo 4 because the rage quitting has already started so soon when there is no point of leaving a game, after all it is just a game. I think the ones that leave just have so low self-esteem that they can´t handle the frustrating situations, instead they leave because they are too proud to go negative.

Well no offence but I do have to disagree with you, first of all the Graphics. They are clunky, rugged and some animations are plain ugly. (*SPOILER*) Look at campaing one where you get to the are when you go to space on the deck, there you will shoot a big missile at enemy ship and look how clunky and ugly the explosion is, it is just like it is out from a game that was made in 2000 or even older. The audio has it´s pros and cons, some are improved like the assault rifle, some have went to worse direction like Warthog sounds more like a drilling machine or it is an electric car and not the manly beast it used to be. Also I like some of the new music they have done, but they forgot the basic feeling it was meant to give. Now I rather notice it being played wheres it used to make me feel like part of something far more bigger than I am.

Good thread, keep on the good work. This just shows the problem with the DMR, it is basically identical with BR but with better clip size, precision and it will do the same DMG in one shot rather than three so it does not have a chance to miss one or two shots.

I like the current ranking system in a way because it gives every casual player a chance to get to max level and those awesome benefits but in addition though, there needs to be a ranking system for players who like the competitive aspect of the previous titles. Don´t remove the current system but add something to add up for everyone.

DMR will win always except when you play in a map that has a lot of tight corridors and a lot of CQB, then the BR wins but there are like two maps that are like that so DMR will be most likely the winner in almost every situation no matter what map.

Yeah there needs to be cover there, I´d also like to see additional version of Ragnok (?) because it has huge wide open areas but since the guns now kill faster and the map is a bit bigger than it used to be, your just prey waiting to get killed. What is the point of having these wide open outdoor areas if they are only kill-zones for you, only vehicles have something useful in them but there needs to be more uses for them than that.

It is funny when vehicles can kill teammates and vice versa but normally you can´t and what is the point in teamkilling? Disable it completely or able the boot system to boot for team killing because the only occasion that can happen now is when someone destroys your vehicle or you ram someone by accident. So you keep saying but on every post it sounds like you don´t actually think outside the box and base your opinions in fanboy hype and perfect fantasy world experience, I don´t mean to be rude but I think you get my point.

At it´s current state the multiplayer sucks more than it did in Halo 3. Now I don´t hate it but make old-school modes to veterans and fast! The new school, young players and the ones that like the so called "CoD" aspect of the new Halo 4 can keep playing theirs but what went wrong for forgetting the old-school Halo players? We are the veterans of Halo franchise and thanks to us, Halo is what it is today so why all the ignorance and abandoning of us? Hopefully they realize that they need to make Halo 4 more appealing by adding the good old old-school game modes too or most of the veterans will alienate from Halo 4 and will leave it aside, taking a huge part of the community away. I´m old-school player and I´m proud of it.

Now I know there are plenty of players - fanboys or not who absolutely love the new Halo 4 format. Multiplayer is balance but here is my rant and I do sound like a bitter player here, but her it goes. At it´s current state the multiplayer sucks more than it did in Halo 3. Now I don´t hate it but make old-school modes to veterans and fast!
