Because the objective is to kill, not stay alive. You answered your own question.
Staying alive is easy, I could hide in a corner and probably not die in any match. Its hunting your opponents and trying to kill them that is the challenge.

Exactly my point.
Staying alive in this game is tough in the sense that with soo many easily accessible cheap tactics its tough for a person like me who would place these tactics aside and play str8 up without camping, or anything like camo, or jet pack to the highest point. It gets tough to overcome tons of cheap tactics with low health only. Ive been boltshotted soo many times when my opponent is one shot that its frustrating.
So yes its easy for those who embrace cheap tactics for the most part, i still do good.
I go out hunting, pure skill and minimal cheap tactics. While going hunting you besically fighting a double edge sword cuz you can attack go on a killing spree and immediately find yourself dying left and right and pulling comeback kills like crazy. Thats how it is with me.
If i used shotty's and pp and AR and hid behind walls. My k/d would probably be double what it is now.

Since my first 5 games i realized that Halo 4 is about staying alive 70% of the time lol i get that the game may be easier but with soo many cheap tactics and the quickness of deaths it only makes sense that one must survive and getting the kills in a non-cheap manner is hard. The game being easier is not a wrong thing to say buy its not the best to say due to the fact that its not easier. Its just a cheap tactic game.(noob game mostly)
Its tough sometime with getting used to winning not kills but points, soo many times do i play regicide and play str8 up as clean as i can, no pummel few nades and pure dmr/br, and i get the most kills but i dont win cuz of the point system. Its frustrating.
So to me the game is not easier. Its survival over kills and cheap-tactic game.(For those who try to play Halo in the fashion that its been played back in the day)
And FYI i dont camp. I prefer roaming and losing than sitting back and getting cheap kills.

Thruster pack, its definitely underestimated but for me who uses his radar regularly and likes to stay grounded love to use it to avoid people and move tactically and even avoid gettng headshotted (y)
-
Yeah what the post above said. Its no biggie. Just give it time and everything will be okay. It happened to me today. So i know from experience too.

And then you lose to the guy who held the trigger down because he got more bullets to you, faster. A full clip should be more than enough to kill someone and if it isn't, you are too far away and a DMR would be better...
Agreed.
People who think we are hating are confusing our input. AR's are powerful in this game, but skill wise they are dimished by the DMR and BR.
Its true. And the short bursts are a good tactic with the weapon but is it that necessary with the
bump up it recieved?

LOL. It says I can't add you because your friends list is full.
Damn it always happens. Ill delete some people when i get the chance too, msg me yur gt so i can add you. I love playing customs.

Its is a powerful weapon, yu can get kills with it, but in comparison to precision weapons, it lacks the skill sense to get these klls. Thats all were saying. The fact thats its a weapon means that of course yu need something of skill but when compared to the skill needed by a precision weapon it seemingly takes no skill to use.
Read my first post too because it explains much more.
-
Okay, ill put it like this. Every weapon in any game takes skill. It just so happens that precision weapons in Halo 4 take more skill to use than automatic weapons. The reason for this is that since the AR is an automatic weapon and has continuous rate of fire before reloading the degree of skill required is decreased. Its just aim, close distance, and hold that rigger until opponent is dead. It obvious that it takes some degree of skill but thats just due to the fact that its a weapon. If yu aim at the floor your obviously going to die. If you aim at the guy then it can go either way. But the skill needed is just that make sure the trigger is held and the reticle is on the guy. Now positioning with it is completely different and irrelevent to this topic.
As for why people say that AR's dont take skill its just them comparing it to the skill required by precision weapons. In comparison, precision guns do take more skill to use overall. This is due to the rate of fire and amount of damage the weapons do. A precision gun has an different rate of fire to the automatic due to the fact that its not automatic. Like a DMR for example. If i charge at yu with it and it fired with me just holding down the trigger for a set amount of time before reloading the skill isnt there becuase you dont have to put into account when the perfect time to shot and aim is. Im just aiming and my brain doesnt have to worry about my gun not shooting before reloading so it takes away from the skill necessary. But as it is the DMR does need consistent trigger pulling, aiming, and finishing for it to be efficient. What i mean by those three things are that 1. TRIGGER PULLING- in order for the weapon to work/fire consistent pulling of the trigger is necessary. For the weapon to be used properly four shots to the body and one to the head make it deadly. Thus five perfectly aimed and timed trigger pulls are needed. This takes me to 2. AIMING- the success of every person using the AR is simply aiming. Precision gun users however need to have consistent, precise aiming along with perfect trigger pulls in order to be successful. This is something that really determines the skill of the weapon because missing even one shot with a precision gun can cost you. Its not the same with the AR that gives yu room to breathe. And thus i move onto 3. Finishing- precision guns are the only guns that i consider to have a finisher. And that is the head shot. This is definitely the skill maker right here. The AR is a powerful weapon but it doesnt not have a finisher that gets yu hype up in the moment or make yu feel the pressure of hitting that one shot which can save or break you or even just trade lives. Precision gun require you to have a good head shot. This headshot isnt always the toughest thing to hit but does need a person to be a fine trigger puller with precise aiming to be able to accomplish it, especially if put on the spot.
Now the AR has recked me many times. But the skill required to use it is so minimal that its overlooked when compared to precision weapons. So its easier for people to just declare it a no-skill weapon rather than to explain in details the different skills that the weapons need.
This post is not to hate but to clarify the difference.

Im interested in seeing your maps, my gt is xlxlCROBARlxlx
-
Whats your gt, i tried that one but it says it doesnt exist
-
Well there you go man. Like i just played a game of SWAT. I had a full team, and then i lost two people. It was hell bro. There was a player on the other team playing soo above average that the player alone went 32-6......
...that *******. I went 18-16 in that game considering the destruction of that player alone. Not counting the others lol yu can imagine. My poor teammate went 7-30. Idk whos fault it is but i mean he was one sorry ass kid lol The person on the other team sent me a voice message bragging. And it turns out to be a female with a sexy voice. But i mean i felt like i was the prescence of someone that doesnt exist. It was unreal.
But anyways back to point. Me feeling that i was doing bad didnt have it as bad as my teamate due to my constant practice and positioning knowledge.
This story is meant to show that no matter how bad yu seem to have it there are those who have it worse and we should improve ourselves before complaing about how bad were having it.
-
I just dont understand how you can say that your going against people who domimate you while you know just how good you are, your k/d is really decent, youve been winning many games lately, and your frustrated. Like bro unless you want instant Walshy skills what do you want? To go 20-0 on every single game you play? Im telling you right now.....so does every single other Halo player out there.
Fact is the only thing you can do is to take it easy in the way that like you know how good yu are and that should be enough. Going positive means ****, having skills and putting them to use when being called out is what counts. So just know that getting dominated like that means you gotta work on your skils and you gotta play smarter.
Just chill and practice man. Thats all it takes. Right now im in a clan where im like in the middle when talking about skill. One main reason as to why im in it is that i feel like gotta surpass everyone else. Its something that ive been searching for: competition and just good people to play with.
Im just giving out my thoughts from what i see and my experiences.

From what i can see the OP is complaining because he wants to have fun but in a noncompetitive fashion. And when hes lucky enough to play people "so" great he makes bad decisions due to frustration which just adds onto itself because of the game hes in.
Bro yu must either have cheated, camped or have good ass skills to have a 2.0 k/d. My k/d is like 900 kills above my deaths, not as great as many but i know that no matter who comes my way i can hold my own in a definitive fashion. This game to me is soo competitives due to the quick deaths, crapload of power weapon opportunity, and rifles that are given to every single player. Its like a game to survive over getting kills even more than ever.
The problem you have has to be that your a hot-head that cant stand being outplayed. Im sorry man but everyone asked to get placed with people of equal or greater skill level. If it bothers you soo much then play slayer pro. In there at least you wont be overwhelmed with power weapons as much.
The game is fun as heck to me. before a game starts i look at my loadouts and i am unsure if its going to help me in every single situation so i plan to make up for the feeling that my loadouts arent perfect with my skills. its very challenging for me not to feel pressured while playing war games, but then again thats the whole point now isnt it. To play an FPS thats going to challenge me to my limit against every opponent. Halo does that for me and i love it.
So like either get better, dont overreact to excessive dying (because its something that everyone at some point goes through in Halo), or just play customs or a less challenging playlist. To me your just "mad bro". Lol
-
In my experience which is similar to the OP, i realized that when a person is put against people of their same skill level that noone is used to that and they have to understand that same skill level means being placed with basically yur equal and the competition is taking yu to a level where yu must push yurself to play better and play smarter in order to win. In this way Halo 4 has turned Halo into a really competitive game even without a skill system being visible. Hell regicide for me can get so complicated at times when im king because i know that me dying is the worst thing now more than ever and for me the gametype means trying to combine my skills to get kills but also my skills to survive and avoid the double team. The skill gap has grown tougher and people get better at the game. In this perspective i dont blame anyone but myself for not being better at this game.

Imagine how powerful bumber jumper would be if they switched the melee "rb" with the AA "x" yu can jet pack without clawing and have a much smoother experience lol

Good advice ill take a pic as soon as i can

I have been reading people constantly complaining about Halo 4. How the guns are broken, the loadouts rip off, the instant respawn unnecesarry.....the freaking menus are ugly.....
(the menu's really?).... r yu really that picky about everything? Like are these comments necessary at all? are all these people correct when they bash on a game hard left and right, yet at the end of theyre rant they all say......."overall its a great game"...am i missing something? The point im trying to make is this. Please stop finding new ways to improve/change a game that is finished, is growing, and honestly its soo different that noone knows what to do with it other than to expand on what is there. Weekly updates allow us to suspect that classic gametypes are coming and new ones too. Pros are getting their ranking system, hopefully Halo 4 hits hits MLG hard.
Forge is good. Its maps are not forge world i understand but until you try forging you cant tell what the exact potential to these maps are. Mechanics are fine and forging time is cut. Why dont you embrace whats in front of you instead of hating and attacking. A few games from the past are taken away and its a shame...but man isnt this sorta like a chance to create new classics? Lol like something fun thats never been done before and have that become a classic? Thats the way i see it. I too am a forger and man i am going to push myself with this games forge.
Spartan Ops are not something you can compare to Firefight because its not supposed to be it. Its something to be quick and to both push and further our understanding of the Halo universe.
I understand that you guys want to voice your opinions and make it seem like you guys represent alot and i bet that you do but in my point of view the game is what i expected it not to be yet at the same time its a game that i like to play and an experience that i am enjoying.
I used to come to the forums and expect people to write something original and something new that represents any information that they know and feel like sharing. Maybe a few clips from their games. Instead i come here to read unpleasant articles about this experience that they have. Mostly its repetitive stuff that isnt clearly thought of and shows that people want this game with their name somewhere on the credits as a way to show and say how much better this game could be if they had made it.
I am posting this as a person who wants to read about more appealing things on the forums other than just some more complaints. Its been like two weeks we get it already, thank you for that, please let it go and move on.
This is a ****load of writing but its my voice, i represent noone else other than myself. Thank you for your time.

Why do people hate on reach soo much? Its an amazing game. The only thing is armor lock, which if your smart can easily be beaten.

Hey guys i remade uncaged for halo 4.
It may not be as proportional as is could have been but i had only soo much to work with.
IMO my boy cloud did a good job with the area starting from "grenade launcher" spawn up till the wall at the end of elbow,like the entire bridge walking to that point. it could have been better but i had to work around that. The rest is my hardwork and hours and time. I added ordinance if you download the gametype that i made to go with it. Its really close still need to find places that people can exploit but what map is perfect.
Download it off my file share:
GT: xlxlCROBARlxlx
Map name: Uncaged V.1
Gametype name: Infinity Slayer O.S.
Lmk what yu think about it.

I play xbox with inverted controls (weird I know). Anyways, when play the campaign and trying to drive a Banshee it is very difficult; because once in the Banshee, steering becomes normal (not inverted) and I cannot drive the vehicle like this because the controls are now opposite. Please fix this !!
Well as far as the internet connection problems, its cuz of a server overload.
The main reason i am writing to you id because i play inverted too and im good af and its freaking cool to be able to find another inverted player.
As for your banshee go to your controller settings and scroll lower to where it says flying camera or controls or w.e change it there. I had the same problem lol

So for months ive been reading threads and threads of people loving how halo 4 looks, their expectations and how much 343 has done real good progress for the halo series.
Now in the last month idk when but 343i had a bulletin explaining the weapon and skin unlock system. Progression system.
People bashed 343i for them not having a ranking system.
Now a few days ago there was a video released with two men from 343i talking about how Halo 4 has an invisible ranking system. To me it didnt seem like the smartest move but im okay with it since Halo 4 has soo much to offer that it seems like something small to fuss over about since i have yet to play the game.
Now when this happened sooo many threads came out bashing 343i over it and saying how it failed and how they messed up Halo. I honestly felt like as smart as these people sounded and how logical their points are that no matter how much they were right they were wrong. BS Angel has clarrified this matter by saying that in the new Halo Waypoint update this invisible rank will be visible for everybody. So everything is fine.
Now the point i was trying to make was that people should relax more and judge less because stuff like that might happen and you might just feel like you went overboard with your comments and its just not right to be criticizing so much. Just chill and appreciate good work on a game thats gonna be great.
My longest thread
send me feedback if it was good or bad. -
UC Clan would love to battle your team. We are regularly on and do pretty good. My gamertag is xlxlCROBARlxlx message me. My clan leader is on my friends list and his gt is UC War God. He know his stuff and wont back out from clan battles.

The reason the fan and green light stays on is just because the system is cooling down guys. Many devices have this feature and its there for those who play extensive hours and it just cools down a hot system before completely turning off the green light and the fan. This happens with my system too and it works perfect everytime.
Whats With Making The Game So Easy?

Using those weapons theres no reason you should be going negative anyways. But my argument isnt that its not easy. Its that it gets tough when you avoid using boltshots and use mostly precision weapons and like non-cheap tactics.
By tough im not talking impossible but it feels competitive staying alive fighting people using boltshots and AR's.
