Interesting outlook on things. I do agree that 343 is attempting to outsell CoD by imitation.

Try to keep replies on the nicer side. I'm personally here to hear about the community's views and see whether or not I am justified in my thinking. I'm NOT here to see us calling each other moronic. Also back up your statements, if not it just creates conflict. Thanks!

True, I agree with this. Also it's fun for me to read other players' opinions thanks. @ nightfiree 6.) Amen to this. ive been getting really tired of joining a game, schooling some kids in the first 30 seconds, and then sitting and waiting for somebody to fill their spot after they left. they need to "punish" the player like the used to in halo 3. remember that? "do you want to leave" "yes punish me i am a bad teammate" haha i always liked that. I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I honestly don't like the punishment system all too much, but I hate how the removal of it removes the incentive to stay in a game.

I made an account just to vent my disappointment, apologies for the repeat points. I've been playing Halo 4 for a couple days now, and as it stands, I'm just so sad that it's come to this. The first few matches were fun, but after I felt that this wasn't Halo at all. I dislike the CoD influence in the making of this game. If I wanted to play CoD, I would've bought Modern Warfare 3 and preordered Black Ops 2. This is just my opinion. If you will reply to this, I want you to disagree/agree with me and back it up I want to see how other players are thinking. The Good: Maps? I guess Some playlists have killcams. Primary weapon selection lets DMR/BR/AR lovers do what they want. I'm not sure to be honest. The Bad: The lack of variety in playlists. Although I'm pretty sure I heard that 343 is adding playlists, I don't like them as of right now. Big Team Battle, an old favorite of mine was changed into pure 8v8 slayer. I liked BTB because it had a variety of assault, CTF, slayer, and territories. Also the Perks. 343 had to limit the Spartans' abilities in order to create these. They decreased Spartan shield regen time in order to create a perk, they removed the ability to pick up 'nades for one. Also less starting ammo was a bad choice. The dominance of the Mantis, Scorpion, and Wraith purely because it is so hard to get your hands on an anti vehicle weapon. The Mantis especially has a missile, melee, and turret all for one person. Sprinting for everyone. This was a bad idea in my opinion purely because now everyone can run as well as use an armor ability. I liked Reach's method where you had to choose between an armor ability or mobility. Also this was the cause for my next bad thing. Stopping power. Guns stop you from sprinting, no matter the direction or gun that is being shot at you. It twitches your screen and slows you by like 50%. My biggest pet peeve is being slowed when being shot FROM BEHIND. Dropping in during games. Why is this bad? Well first of all, the minor negative thing is that you join the losing team. But the BIGGER effect is that 343 removed the penalty for quitting games. What does this induce? More quitting and rejoining other games. This results in more games that have lost players. Also, I noticed how my teammates are never dropped in until later on when the game is completely loss. Please create an option to not join in game. OR delete it as a whole. Streak rewards add an RNG(Random number generator) system that doesn't seem fit to belong in Halo. One guy can be lucky and get a rocket launcher while another gets a needler, not too fitting. Deletion of infection options. Maybe it's just because I can't find the options, but you cannot change the weaponry of the zombies. This eliminates many custom games, one being duck hunt. In Halo 3, infection was the one custom game type that was used. This is almost as bad as Halo Reach deleting Alpha Zombie. Also, what if I don't want my zombies to look like the flood? The absence of neutral weaponry is my greatest irk. It REMOVES a lot of things Halo...from Halo. It removes rushing towards an area to grab a certain weapon, or staying near it to grab it later on. Also, when I'm on a spree or just in cover, I do not want to run out into the battlefield in order to get ammo (the absence of DMR/BR ammo) It also removes a whole lot of anti-vehicle weaponry in big team ..slayer. __________________________________________________________ As I said up top, please comment telling me whether or not you agree or disagree with me on certain points. Thanks for reading if you did!

I agree with this completely. Oh my god. I've been complaining since day one. I mean, it's probably too late to put away ordnance drops and input weapons like the old Halos. But Halo 4 disgusts me that it's so CoD influenced.

I agree with this completely. I'm glad that some other people think the same as I do. I cannot stand the call of duty influences at all. Especially the drop in feature that never works until it is a completely hopeless lost game. It sucks to have no neutral weapons - a stamp of Halo. It sucks that they nerfed Spartans to create perks: lesser shield recharge time, can't pick up grenades from dead bodies, lesser ammo from pick ups, no dmrs/brs on the map to get ammo from, I am REQUIRED to go over to dead bodies and pick up ammo. Halo 4 doesn't...have the feel and difference of well, Halo.
