  1. You could never dual wield power weapons. In Halo 4 - plasma pistol, magnum, maybe needler. Having two boltshots would be ridiculous. Dual wielding takes away your melee and grenades, at least while you are holding the two weapons. Maybe in Halo 5, but I am sure people would just say "343 sucks they just went back to something old" or some criticism like that.
  2. I like Halo 4's soundtrack, but it's not as good as previous Halo games, IMO. I am very much looking forward to Destiny. It's not going to have a subscription fee like WoW.
  3. Agreed. That is my biggest problem with the Boltshot. It shouldn't be in your loadout. I will use it though. If it's getting used on me I am going to use it back.
  4. Everyone beat me to it and they are right, shotgun has always been a one hit kill up close. That is how a lot of bulltrue medals are handed out....shotgun killing the sword.
  5. While Halo 4's multiplayer may be my least favorite of the Halo games, I still enjoy it. I do agree with some of what the OP is saying, but some of it I don't. Mainly weapon variety. The SMG became somewhat useless when Bungie brought back the AR in Halo 3. Yes you could still use it, but it was only useful when dual wielded. AR vs. one SMG - AR would win. As for dual wielding, again I think it is now obsolete. Even in one of their vidocs Bungie says how in Halo 2 spawning with a dual wield weapon changed Halo in some ways. You can't melee or throw grenades while dual wielding so that limits you, IMO. I mean you can, but you drop your left handed weapon and that reduces your firepower. I do miss the needle rifle, but they added the light rifle and brought back the BR and Covenant Carbine. I agree there are too many power weapons and add in the boltshot. In terms of vehicles, besides the lack of a UNSC air vehicle, they can't have a lot of what you mentioned. The hornet or Falcon would be nice to have, one, not both. The transport warthog doesn't serve a purpose, IMO. The Vultures and Grizzlies were only in Halo Wars to my knowledge so they don't fit as well in the FPS games. Spartan Ops might need some more variety, but I really enjoyed Season 1. Being able to have some added story through the cut scenes is great. Playing through the missions can be annoying without friends, but for the most part I played with at least one friend all the time. Only very rarely did I play alone so I had fun with them. I am looking forward to season 2, even if I will be paying for it. I do think the maps are not that great. Some maps are good only for certain game types. Wreckage is only playable in Slayer for example. The Crimson maps overall are not very good. I HATE Meltdown, just don't like it. Exile is unbalanced in Slayer (Gauss in blue spawn). I was able to get the Majestic pack this morning before I left for work. Looking forward to see how they play. In terms of someone having "unlimited" rockets on Dominion. It might just be that they keep getting rockets on a resupply. I know that worked in my favor while holding a base. That might not be a hack. Unless of course they fire more than two without reloading. Halo 4 isn't the best game in the series. Worst? Not sure about that either. Campaign is great, Spartan Ops is fun. Multiplayer has had some real good moments for me, but it is definitely not as good as Halo 3 or Reach, IMO.
  6. I have faith in Bungie. I have little doubt it will be very good.
  7. I'm more of a fan of big maps (vehicles), but I like the look of these. Looking forward to playing on them. Landfall looks great to me.
  8. I am very new here, but I immediately knew Frog was a trusted veteran member of the site. Sad to see you go. I have to admit I would like to know what happened.......not going to ask, but I want to know.
  9. The WW2 part is very cool, but that is where anything really good about him ends.
  10. Yup. As I said, I understand that AI's can be condescending, but at least try not to be so blatantly obnoxious about it.
  11. There are definitely things about Halo 4 I don't like. I also know the popular sentiment is that Reach wasn't good, but I liked it a lot. I can see how people hate armor abilities, but I really didn't think they broke the game. I don't play "competitively" and I am an average player, but I had a great time with Reach. Maybe armor abilities shouldn't have ever been introduced, but they are here so it now remains to be seen where the series goes from here. Maybe a return to the pickups of Halo 3? Series need to evolve. I personally think CoD has been very similar since CoD 4. Yes Treyarch has zombies, but for the most part the games have felt very similar to me. So much so that I already sold BO2. So I don't want every Halo game to be the same. Yes Halo 3 is a great game, but I also thought Reach was a great game (and Halo:CE, 2, ODST). Halo 4 does have problems that should and hopefully will be resolved a bit in Halo 5. I fear that AA will be here to stay, but maybe it should be more like Reach in that it was a set amount of loadouts depending on the gametype. Everyone shouldn't have sprint, IMO. The Boltshot is a ridiculous weapon and I do think the BR should have some better range. I will say that this is not my favorite Halo, but I do really like the campaign and Spartan Ops. There are things that need to be improved, but I am not anywhere near giving up on this series. I will be playing this game for a while. Campaign, Spartan Ops and yes multiplayer.
  12. Try performing a license transfer on your console. It probably shouldn't need to be done, but give it a shot. It is very easy now, you can do it from the dashboard, I can't recall exactly how to do it and I can get to xbox.com at work (blocked). That worked for me, I can use the DLC on both accounts.
  13. I would like to see Assault and BTB as well. I also think there should be an objective playlist for smaller teams (4v4 or 5v5). Assault would be a welcome addition to Halo 4.
  14. I wasn't a huge fan of the Crimson Map pack, but I am looking forward to Majestic, two weeks.
