I could give a shit unless it has a release date

They really need to patch the white and helmets with no Visor option
The customization is dope except when you can do it on something you’ve been applying it to!

Why does everyone like Exile so much? People vote for it even after just having played that map. It just looks like a clusterfuck.

Gauss Hog and Tank. I played this fucking map 8 times in row the other night until I just turned the game off out of boredom.
They should make Team Slayer 6v6 …aside from Haven, the maps are too big for 4v4. I wonder why Complex isn’t considered a Big Team map either.

It’s a good map, blame 343 for offering a poopoo platter of maps in this game.

cause the new maps are not that fun. its the best turd of the bunch. this game needs new maps really bad.

Map are really good. I enjoy most of them. I mainly play swat so I love Havon or w/e.
I would like to see some old maps return before or after some new ones. Blood gloutch and ones that were in AE would be cool.

Only problem is they might not translate that well into this game as the DMR does more than the pistol. Pistol was different in AE

Every BTB map needs a Gauss Hog, so I don’t need to mash Exile myself every time it comes up.

Seriously. That’s my only reason. DEM GAUSS HAWGZ

Game needs more small to mid maps. Only one of those seems to fit that criteria.

IMO O’Donnell and Salvatori was going to be tough to follow, in some instances Davidge has kept MC’s theme but his work just isn’t up to the standard. Real shame because Foward Unto Dawn gave me high hops that 343 would be able to produce a truly memorable and epic soundtrack.

6/10

cappin XP is a dumb move…

Especially

almost done with my first specialization (its pioneer which gives more XP)

i’m thinking of doing pathfinder next or maybe operator.

Finally finished Solo Legendary…by the end of the final stage I just wanted it to be over, but 343 had other ideas…namely closing out the game in such a horribly redundant, repetitive fashion by making you man cannon to same damn platforms to the same damn fights like 25 times before finally just letting it go.:rolleyes:

As far as multiplayer…with the maps the size that they are, I wish they would just dump the 4v4 and 8v8 formats and go 6v6 across the board. Halo 2 had a 6v6 playlist for a time that played every map except the really small symmetrical ones and was comprised of CTF/Slayer and Assault and that was the most fun I’ve ever had.with Halo.

Need zanzibar back, haha.

Lengendary is really hard. I’m barley on the 4th one. At bravo point when you have a bunch of enemies. Can’t kill anything.
Not really missing what yall is missing.

I am missing the Skullz that were in AE. Some where very helpful, like bandanna.

Halo 4 is dissconnecting me right now, I managed to play for about 2 minutes before it shat out.

Once I dashboard though XBL immediately comes back.

On Legendary, you just have to play smart with the weapons…
Grunts and Jackals are still the same.
Elites are pretty dumb this time around, so you can pick them off from long range with the DMR or Light Rifle and usually they’ll just stand there and die.
For them Promethean assholes…
Take out the airborne sentinel things first since they spawn shit in a lot.
Crawlers are best handled with single shot weapons as Automatics sometimes take too long to kill them and swarm you.
The Knights…actually seem to get confused with automatic weapons. Crawlers drop Suppressors alot, and you can actually take Knights out if you carefully close the gap and just unload fire on them. If you use single shot weapons, they’ll start they’re teleportation crap and become agonizing to take down.

Got the Bros til the Close cheevo Solo. Suck it Prometheans.

I’m starting to regret buying this game. The DMR is leagues ahead of all the precision weapons - it’s basically a mini-sniper. The Boltshot renders all other CQB weapons, even power weapons such as the Scattershot and the human shotgun, completely useless. To top it off, it’s a starting weapon. Promethean Vision and the DMR encourage camping, which is further exacerbated by the Boltshot.

Then you have loadouts, instant respawns and ginormous maps that scream “this game was solely made for big team battle”. For example, what the fuck is Complex doing in the Infinity Slayer playlist? All the maps are designed for long range combat. Close range combat is gone completely because people don’t wanna get Boltshotted.

Unless they introduce a classic playlist with no loadouts and smaller 4v4 maps, I am done with this game. Fuck 343 and fuck Microsoft. It’s painfully obvious that they ignored the longtime Halo fan in favor of the CoD casual so they can get the big bucks.

I have yet to try multiplayer. The last halo I played was 3, which was 10/10 in fun.

After using the light rifle 99% of the single player game, and noticing melee is a joke now, I started playing Borderlands 2. Halo 4 is a decent game but it does not feel like Halo should. I am not even sure if the single player campaign was fun. It was impressive, but ever new “zone” felt like work. And the LB trigger weapons are silly. Pop a turrent, kill, move on…

It was such a diff going from Halo 3 four years ago to Halo 4 lol…

Oh yeah, 1 enemy should not take an entire clip to take down

I gave up on this game. MP is so shit. Here are my complaints, in point form:
[LIST]
[]The whole power weapons system is fucked up beyond repair. In all of the previous Halos (even Reach, the supposed black sheep), while you’re playing, you have to constantly keep track of which team has which weapons. If you see a teammate carrying a sniper rifle, and you know there’s only one sniper rifle on the map, then you know that you don’t have to worry about getting sniped in open areas. In this game, anyone can have any power weapon at any time because of the random ass ordnance system.
[
]Instant respawn is dumb. There was one time where someone killed me, I respawned like 20 metres away from him and then killed him before his shields could even regenerate. That really shouldn’t have happened.
[]Custom loadouts aren’t stupid, but the fact that you can spawn with a DMR and a Boltshot every single game is. Why the fuck did 343 feel the need to elevate the needler to “power weapon” status, yet leave these weapons untouched? Shit is dumb. No one can move around the goddamned map because everyone has portable sniper rifles and shotguns.
[
]The glitchy walls ruin games like Oddball. Everyone just votes for Complex so that they can glitch through the wall and camp there with the ball the whole game.
[*]There’s no good connection only option. Almost every game I get is laggy as shit and my shots never register. One time I unloaded a whole DMR clip (14 bullets) into someone and their shields didn’t even pop.
[/LIST]
So yeah. I actually haven’t played H4 in weeks and I probably won’t until 343 fixes it (which may be never). I’ve been playing Reach instead. SO much better. People hate on Reach a lot, but I actually really like it. I never played 2 or 3 online, though, so I might just not know any better. Also, I finally hit Colonel a couple of days ago and I have the gold visor now! So much better than crappy silver visor.

haha

you peeps getting mad because companies doing what companies do.
