Now this thread may get heated especially with the spec code being released. But it's been bothering me a lot lately. So please remain respectful to each other. I don't need nor do I want things to get personal. If you don't agree with me or any comments that come after this post, don't get vulgar.
Anyway, when I purchase a game whether it be Halo, Mass Effect, or any other game I get the game to have fun. I'll play the game in my free time and what not. I'm not a "serious" gamer anymore. Three years ago that answer would have been different. But even then I still played the game for fun.
That being said, I really enjoy playing Halo 4. It's a great game. There's been a lot of complaints about the spec codes. Being stuck at level 70. How does that change the game? Does that really make the game less fun? Eventually you're going to hit that max level. So to me that just doesn't matter.
As for the spec codes. When I first bought the game, I didn't even realize there was going to be specializations. So honestly that's like an added bonus in my view. And if that added bonus takes a little longer to be released. I'm ok with that. I've seen people saying that they paid 60 dollars for the spec codes, meaning they only reason they bought the game was to have the specializations?
I just don't really know what to think of all this. Personally I'd be fine only having 70 levels and 2 specs. I'd be fine playing if there was only 5 levels and no specs. Because the game is just fun to play. When I started playing Halo, Halo on the original Xbox, there were no levels. You just picked up the game and played. And ultimately that's what makes a game fun. Can I just have fun playing it? When it comes to Halo 4 the answer is yes. Even with the server issues people were experiencing I could play locally or Forge maps. With the spec codes being delayed, I can still play matchmaking and enjoy it.
I might be the only one who thinks this. I just wanted to post this. If you disagree I understand. No hard feelings on my part. Just please don't get personal with your responses.
