I have played Halo since Halo 2, I never got to experience the awesome that was Halo CE but oh well I guess.
Anyways like most people around here, I was super excited to get my copy of Halo 4 the day it came out hoping that it would not be as bad as Reach was but boy was I wrong.
Almost everything that made Halo, Halo has been done away with this is like Call of Duty with shields I hate to say it I truly do I love the Halo franchise dearly but this just isn't working at the moment.
-Ordinance has completely done away with any map control.
-Maps like Ragnarok have an excessive spam of vehicles most games I have played on that map its just two morons in Mantis's sitting on both sides of midfield trying to kill each other and killing anyone who comes close to them.
-Building on the last point, theres no need to really advance, or get in your face action any more why? Because you die incredibly fast. I am aware there is no difference its 5 shot for every gun but something is up Im dieing in literally almost a blink of an eye. Most games on Ragnarok, are the two teams sitting by their base cross mapping with DMRs.
- No power weapon? No problem, Ill camp here get a few assists and a few kills. BOOM! a Binary Rifle insta kill anywhere to the body.
-Also something I tested this morning in a custom game, you don't actually have to have your reticule over someone to hit them! Its amazing my reticule isn't even red, yet Im capable of 5 shotting people. Dont Believe me? Test it for yourself.
-Graphics horrible, just horrible.
-BR is pretty underpowered since the DMR does it all.
-Lack of game modes.
- Lack of a proper ranking system( I know theres one on its way but why not launch with one I dont understand)
-Making balanced teams 90%complete. BS most of the time my team is a gang of morons.
-Maps really aren't that fun or require to be as big as they are. I mean fighting over top-mid on Longbow is only fun for the 50th time. And hey why go anywhere else, there's no power weapons anywhere around the map I can sit here spawn kill and still get power weapons.
- No pickups. I cant count how many times ive needed ammo, but theres none anywhere on the map unless I kill someone.
-Weapon indicators, I don't need to be told where stuff spawns, it takes up room on my screen and ruins memorizing weapon spawns.
-It seems like 343 has catered to the noobs, or tried to attract COD kids, by putting an excessive amount of 1shot one kill weapons in this game. Seriously if your trying to teach a kid grade 6 math, but hes not getting it don't just give him easy grade 5 math work so he can do good and feel like he accomplished something, he should practice math until hes good at it none of this free kill handout crap. Railgun, 3 snipers, Rockets, Fuelrod cannon, Boltshot, Shotgun, Sword, Scattershot, Needler may aswell be one shot since it requires 0 skill.
-Insta respawn really ruins the pace of the game.
This doesnt mean I dont like the game, I am having fun...(Kinda) it has good potential its just really not that fun to play atm.
Also you lag like hell in Spartan Ops my God its unbearable.
