If a game is catering to little kids, noobs, and just plain brain dead what do you expect? The title of this game should have had "Disney's" somewhere in it lol

well yea but I was trying to say that ordinance drops are the root of so many other things gone wrong that don't contribute to good gameplay but the opposite. Things that all make the game boring as hell and uneventful. Or in othe words just lame.

Ordinance drops are a joke. The guy said you don't get rewarded drops if you play badly? Lol so not true. There were plenty of games I played where the opposing team was destroying us and I ended up 9 and 22 lol. Guess what. I still got 3 drops along the way. So to say bad playing doesn't reward drops its simply inaccurate. Unless you only consider bad playing to be 0 and 22 because you walked around staring at the sky all game. Op you're totally right. And there is no glass half full way to look at it. Opposing team always gets better drops if they're losing. You the winner gets needler while they get snipers and every other power weapon. That's why you could be winning by 200 points then suddenly you look away and you lost the lead. It has nothing to do with skill anymore. It caters to noobs period. You're getting raped? Ok ok here are some rockets for you delivered to your front door. Don't worry about having to fight for them or leaving your post to pick them. Afterall you need help. So here it is. Oh and if you're winning you don't need anything so here you go take these grenades. All 2 of them. Lol. Seriously if you defend this you were probably awful in every other halo game and now you're finally happy someone is holding your hand to cross the street. And no don't argue that point because its true. Otherwise you wouldn't be defending this horrible method.

Nah 343 doesn't give a ****. They already made their sales and consider the game a success because of opening day numbers.

No but it makes me feel better to vent my frustration.

I can't understand for the life of me people who defend this garbage. I just logged in to play some slayer. Every once in a while I give halo 4 a chance for redemption. 4 games in a row I was thrown into a losing team!! 4 games!!!! Not losing by a little but losing by like 200 points! Wtf!? I played them out anyway and hoped for the best next game. Yet every game was the same deal. So back to reach I go. Those who keep touting this game is amazing please explain wtf game you're playing that I'm not! This is ridiculous!

Yea really. There is literally nothing in this game that brings back any hint of other halos. Nothing is the same AT ALL. Other than names of things like ghost lol. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Holy cry babies batman.

People love ragnarok because it reminds them of when halo was good and fun to play. Also when map design wasn't done by incompetency. It's the only thing halo 4 has in common with other halos. People long for consistency and for the gameplay that was once halo. This map is proof.

Same reason 4 million people bought halo 4 and only 100k are still playing it. Everything about this game feels like a beta version of a horrible idea. If this was the first halo to ever come out halo would have never been the franchise it was.

Actually the most ridiculous thing I hear is when people say this halo is like 2 and 3. Can I have what you're smoking? Nothing is the same! Not even your armor color! Lol weapons different, gameplay different, UI different, physics and balance different, vehicles different, load outs different, should I go on? Wtf are you smoking?

What kind of a dumbass uses white font to type on a white page?

haha I already bet someone on here a while back 1,000$ if within one week they could post a video of the sword owning and guess what. Nothing. That's because it doesn't happen. So if you disagree put your money where your mouth is and prove what you're saying is true.

in other words its useless and no longer a power weapon.

Sword is useless if you're playing against a team with vision. No not promethean vision. I mean actual eyeballs. Sword is easy as hell to stop thanks to a clumy master chief when shot, a shield that might as well not be a shield and weapons that can stop sword dead in its tracks on spawn. Hell sword may as well be a spawn choice at this point. Played today tried to sneak up on 3 guys using sword. In any other halo they would have all been dead in 2 seconds. In this halo as soon as I turned the corner and they spotted me I was dead in .3 seconds thanks to overpowered weapons and a shield worth nothing. If you're claiming to be good with the sword you're either running up on some really awful players or you literally crouch in a corner all game hoping someone will pass by. Which one is it. Because gone are the hack and slash Jackie chan days of halo sword.

Honestly this point is so well made and accurate I can't imagine how anyone can argue against it. You have to be a moron to not see this as being true. That or people are just arguing against you for the sake of argument for whatever reason.

random? All you had to do was time your shots properly. I can rape a team of 4 in reach with bloom and all. It's manageable. In 4 you're lucky if you get the occasional double kill by stealing a kill someone else was working on. Unmanageable. Big difference in how the mechanics are actually manageable.

Great post about halo 4. Well said. Only a few disagreements. Mauler almost always required a follow up punch to finish the job. Much like shotgun actually. Boltshot is one shot all the time. Not a great comparison. You also said reach sucked and it really doesn't. Other than bloom, jump height, and select abilities it's the same as any other halo. I tried playin halo 3 recently and honestly after playing reach for so long 3 felt slow. Jumps felt like I was floating lol. Don't get me wrong 3 was amazing. But when people say reach was horrible it really tends to be an overreaction. Reach was a good example of how halo needed to be brought into the "new century" but it should have stopped there. It was a sprinkle of new stuff and it worked IMO. Unlike h4 where they basically scrapped what made halo good and made up their own rules and gameplay from scratch. Completely deviated from what halo ever was. I fear this is the end of the line for halo folks. It's time we bid it farewell. It's obvious 343 will not "step backwards" to bring back the halo we all love. It's a done deal. So either you like the new crappy version or you move on. I myself have not picked up h4 in a month and have no desire to. I'm contempt with some games of reach now and then and that's all. The glory days are over folks. Had to happen sometime. Fun part is watching what's left of the halo community. A bunch of guys who never even plug their mics in anymore and who have no desire for teamwork or anything of the sort. The loners who sit in corners all game and never move. Basically the guys you never wanted on your team in any other halo are now all on 4 lol. The guy who in multiteam on reach would stand away from everyone with a sniper even if the type was king of the hill because he was just a ****** trying to get easy kills to make himself feel better about life.

Wait....ordinance drops have snipers and rockets??? I thought they only had a needler, grenades, and speed boost. I always wondered how the other team always had monster weapons. Wtf can I do with a needler on ragnarok lol. Except for kamikaze off the lift and hope to take someone out before I hit the ground. Lol. Stupid game.

lol. Actually if you just die and respawn then run back to your same position you died, it's faster than finding ammo or more grenades. Fun! Lol

hell yea. My friend and I used to welcome matches where we were outnumbered!! Those were the most fun! Now if you're outnumbered you already know you lost and that is a serious balance issue and is totally irrelevant to your skill. Instead of progressing a game based on skill it's now about who gets good drops and who has a larger team. Lame.

my opinion meant more than my point...you realize this makes no sense right? I'll post on both thank you very much. With or without your permission. But thanks any way kid.

yup exactly. That's one of those feel good moments that has been stripped here. When your team quit it made you try harder. When you won it was epic! Now in place of that we have a feeling of bleh who cares I won... as a game developer myself I understand how gameplay itself is what guides teamwork. If the game doesn't do anything to promote teamwork then teamwork becomes unnecessary. If you can't see how this game fails to promote proper teamwork / gameplay then there isn't much I can do for you.

I'm complaining because I want the halo I love back not this pig in disguise. Hoping these sentiments will echo though the community and someone at 343 will snap out of their stupidity and say hey we need to change this. That's what I'm doing...what are you doing? Posting nonsense just to post? you should really look up the definitions of individual and teamwork. Maybe it'll clarify how the two work differently for you. You are completely incorrect in your "clarification" of how teamwork works. Post is a fail but thanks. No wonder you're defending a set of dangling keys aka halo 4 oh and ummmm no there aren't any games that offer such a boost to noobs like the dumb game does. But you can try to name one other than cod lol since this is a clone of it.

so in other words you're making my other point that this game is not about teamwork anymore since apparently it's about the individual player. Regardless that is still my point! In what game can you come back to that extent in 3 minutes??? None! It's lame!
