I have been playing Halo 4 for quite some time now (I finally got the CIO armor today, which equals 4500 kills, which equals I know what I'm talking about here.) To be completely honest, I love it a lot, but their are a few hiccups with the system that I do want to point out. And don't get me wrong, for their first game, 343i did an amazing job, but there is room for improvement. 1. Host Migrations This has always been a problem with Halo games, but I feel that host migrations in Halo 4 take much longer than it seems that it should take. If they could work on this system a little bit more, I'm sure I wouldn't be pouting so much when the host decides to quit. 2. Thruster Pack and Hardlight Shield These two armor abilities seem severely under-powered. A. When I first saw the Thruster Pack, I immediately assumed it was just like a different animation for Evade from Halo Reach. Sadly, that is not the case. I decided to do some tests with it, and even if it had unlimited uses with no cool-down, sprinting is still faster. Needless to say, this doesn't make any sense. A slight tweak to make its thrust more powerful should do the trick in my opinion. B. The Hardlight Shield is almost a waste of an armor ability. Unless your opponent is very far away, it is an extremely easy ability to counter. When using the shield, your shield doesn't regenerate, you can't turn fast, and are extremely susceptible to explosives. Personally, I just want to get rid of the ability and would love to see a deployable Bubble Shield, like from Halo 3. 3. The DMR I will admit I have seen problems posted about this gun many many many times before. At lower levels, I rarely even noticed anyone using the DMR, so I payed little attention to it. But now that I'm level 59, I now am seeing what everyone is talking about. The DMR is unusually powerful and, in the hands of a pro, is a slaughter machine. At higher levels I am meeting the people who go 20-3 per game because of it. Now don't get me wrong, these guys are amazingly good at the game, but I find that the DMR, when pitted against the BR, Carbine, and Light Rifle, will destroy all of them, which, in the name of balanced gameplay, isn't right. My suggestion would be a slight decrease in either the fire rate or damage of each bullet from the DMR. 4. Jumping As I stated before, as I reach higher levels, I begin to fight against people who aren't necessarily good, but rather just use exploits and unfair advantages to win games. One of these would be people who abuse the jumping. Earlier today, in fact, I was in a game of Regicide where three of the players, no matter where I encountered them, would jump around as if the ground was on fire. Now in games like Call of Duty, we never saw this kind of problem, mainly because you never could jump very high in those games. But in Halo, where you are a super soldier, it is understandable how you can easily jump amazing heights. I do, however, disagree on how you can constantly maintain your jump height after doing so several times in succession. My suggestion would be to make your initial jump the normal height that it currently is, but then each jump afterwards would be less than the one before. For example, the initial jump would be the normal 100%. After landing, if you were to immediately jump again, you would only get a jump at 75% of the original power. Then the next one would be 50%, and all following jumps would only be at 25% of the original jump height. Sorry for the long read, but this is what I feel can be done differently for the Matchmaking system to make it more enjoyable for everyone. Please let me know what you think. I'm not looking to start a flame war, so please don't try to drag those kind of topics into your posts. Thanks for reading, Daslaya333 (GT: APsychoticMoose)

Thanks man. I just sent u a friend request on XBL

I'm EST (USA East Coast) I was hoping to start in about 3 hrs (I have a meeting at my house soon) see how far we get today, then maybe finish it later.

Looking to get Master Chief's armor. I originally thought you had to do it solo, then I got stuck on the mission "Infinity" and later found out you can do it co-op. So who wants to join me? My policy is the more, the merrier (and the easier haha) GT = APsychoticMoose

He was a level 130 with little to no skill. I would like to see him banned, but if nothing happens I will be very upset. I think a profile-reset seems like a good punishment though. Put him back to level 1, I say

Good idea, actually. I hate having to squint at my screen to read how far or even what commendation I just unlocked. -support-

I was playing a game of Regicide today on split-screen with my brother. We had found a match, and I almost immediately -blam!- myself. It was a level 130 character, named DAA SHIZZ, and he had 3 other guests. So it was me, my brother, DAA SHIZZ, and what we assumed to be his guests. When we joined the game and started playing, I noticed that one of DAA SHIZZ's guests that had spawned wasn't moving. I just assumed that maybe his controller died or something (but I still killed him hehe). So about 10 seconds later, I come across another one of his guests that is also AFK, so I was extremely perplexed as to what was going on. So the game goes on, and me and my brother are noticing that we only got killed by DAA SHIZZ once or twice each, and he had won the game at the end. So I went into theater mode and figured it out: He joined the game, just ran around the map and killed his guests. It was him and just turning on 3 controllers with no people actually playing on them. And he won the game... If you go into my file share and watch the game, you will also note that this guy is horrible, and I really mean horrible at Halo 4. On the rare occasions that we did encounter him, he was hopping around and just shooting us with his assault rifle. And on the rare note that a 343i employee is reading this, PLEASE ban this pathetic cheater. Thanks, Daslaya333 (GT: APsychoticMoose)

According to Game Informer, the multiplayer mode is a group of spartan recruits training on a gigantic 3km long ship. The combat takes place in this kind of 'simulation room' sort of like a holo-deck. So, in reality you are all just soldiers fighting each other on a space ship that can create any virtual reality. It's almost like the movie Inception.
