I hope if an mlg playlist goes into rotation, there will be no armor abilities. At all. Not even as a pick up. if its set up right it will be very enjoyable I think and competitive. has anyone gone to the mlg site and seen what they are working on or anything? I haven't and I am curious what they are working on and if they are getting a playlist and what it will include ect.

yeah this "rank" system is garbage. I thought it was always great segregating the playlists into ranked and unranked. you could go in with randos and relax with social and play some outrageous games that were fun. such as action sack (team stickies and dodgeball anyone?). or go battle it out with a good team in ranked. sweating on those 49-49 games and trying your little heart out to try to get that next rank. good times.

This. Agreed and good thinking. although the dmr would have one more shot required then, it still has a greater range than the br. it would be alittle more balanced, and I think that would be fair.

Halo has never been about the multiplayer? wow? I question if you have even been paying attention to anything really since you were born and follwed halo. sure the story is great and all but it wouldn't have gained enough popularity among people. it was h2 mm and mlg that made it very well known and h3 mm. sure some people would pay 60 dollars for a campaign. However, the multiplayer provides that replayabilty. no multiplayer or a crappy one = no halo because it wouldn't sell enough. I'm so sick of people spewing this diarrhea out of their mouths saying halo needed to evolve. I would assume that most of the people saying that are the under 18 crowd and heard it from someone else. and anyone over 18 should be ashamed of themselves especially for not even trying to defend this game. we provide so many reasons why we have problems with things and in response all we get is "halo 4 is the greatest halo ever" or "the games fine" or "100,000 people is not a bad population". at least try and defend it and have a well thought out and constructed argument. not just "your an idiot" . why don't you read through the replys and understand what people are talking about as opposed to just jumping in on the latest page with the latest reply. seriously though this game has not evolved one bit. it expanded on armor abilities from halo reach despite alot of fans disliking them and bungie having problems with them. halo 4 = reach 2. why am I here if I don't like the game? I do play it, I just don't enjoy it as much as previous titles. there are problems with armor abilites and other things. convince me forum, convince me that I am just a grumpy person stuck in his old ways and that this truly is the greatest halo ever created, dispite armor abilites, perks, and a low population and this halo is very competitive dispite no ranking system.

No. the stats don't show anything.All it shows is that 300,000 people left this game already. Not if they were a casual, got bored, hit a rank cap, hated the game, ect. those are called variables that your not thinking about. I just can't see how you think h4 is harder. what is so hard about losing games and grinding to get xp to increase your "rank" in h4? what is challenging about having armor abilities to pad your mistakes and give you advantages? or have rockets or IC delivered to you?

halo 4 campaign/story is good. but halo 4 did not redeem itself in the multiplayer department. I know people that heard "armor abilites" and didn't even buy 4. others gave it another try and were deeply disapointed, yet again, and quit playing. like I said halo 4 multiplayer = reach 2.

This. 343 said to trust them and that they were listening. looks like they lied. after all the complaints from reach and people leaving I can't believe they would basically make a halo reach 2 with these stupid armor abilites and call it halo 4. really? who are you trying to kid? all the blind fanboys out there saying this game is the greatest halo created, that's the joke of the year. halo 4 added on to halo reach which was bad and the severely declining population alread shows that people are rejecting this idea for halo. It will continue to drop down as other games are released.

5 million people who have diffrent opnions and probably 3/4ths of theos 5 mil want those changes like me. 5 million people who have diffrent opnions and probably 3/4ths of theos 5 mil want those changes like me. Your grammar is terrible, however, your statistics are overwhelmingly impressive. it's a good thing those 3/4 of 5 million people who wanted these changes are playing halo 4 and keeping matchmaking alive!

1-50 or nothing. the SR/cR progression system is garbage and shows nothing. all it shows is that you played alot of games and quite possibly lost alot also, but you still get points awarded, which is stupid?? why would you get rewarded for losing? having a high rank in h2 or h3 typically meant something, as in you were usually very good at the game and WON games and earned your rank. sure sometimes in h3 you had a boosted or bought account but more often than not when you seen a high 40-50 ranked person, it's someone who was good at the game.

halo 4's matchmaking is way harder than h3 matchmaking? HAHA! that has got to be the funniest thing I've seen on these forums. just like another poster said the armor abilities cater to kids who need to wear a diaper going into a game. seriously, starting with invisability or hardlight shield? using noobvision to see though walls and to camp? vehicles getting destroyed in 30 seconds? you must have never made it past staff captain in halo 3 and played team slayer 45+....

Not really. Can you actually defend that the maps are great or why the population is low already? Simple questions really. Don't get me wrong I do like things about this game which I've stated in previous posts. I guess I was let down with apects of MM and I'm trying to understand why people think its so great.

Halo needed to evolve because they had a successful formula that worked? That doesn't make much sense.... If halo stays on this so called "evolutionary" path with armor abilities and loadouts/perks, I won't be buying halo anymore. Its so easy and boring using them and taking advantage of them in my favor it's ridiculous. Keep halo strong as possible?? What?? First 2 days had 400,000 and 410,000 people playing. Now? 90-100,000. People left because not satisfied. Halo 3 social slayer alone had 30000 people years after its release and halo reach. That's 1/3 of this games population after one month....

It will go to the new email account you updated it to. why did you make a new thread when there are countless other topics about this?

yeah it's sad really. after reach came out alot of people complained about the armor abilities and lack of a decent ranking system. looks like they listened real well to what people were saying there. your right though, this is not a team game anymore. people don't even talk. all they do is get invis and snipes and camp or boltshot/noob vision and camp.

I disagree. I mean, don't get me wrong I've played the campaigns and enjoyed playing all of them. I really enjoy and get into the story also. I'm not really a fan of paying 60 dollars for a game, play the campaign and basically be done with the game. I beat halo 4 campaign on legendary in 3 days, while I wish it were alittle longer, I was satisfied with gameplay/story. having the multiplayer provides that replayability. without it, there isn't much of a point to purchase the game. I've never played cod and from what people are saying, probably never will if both cod and halo are similar with loadouts ect. I think there are plenty of people out there that think this game was "bad" from a multiplayer view and just left. period. they are not coming to this site. they are not on the game in the lobby complaining. they just left. The people on this site that are complaining about things are a small portion of a larger picture. I am not complaining about halo 4 being similar to cod because it is popular. I've never played it. however based off people saying it is similar with the loadouts ect. I feel it's something I wouldn't enjoy kinda how I am not enjoying this game much just like halo reach. The loadouts and gameplay are just cheap and boring. It gets stale real quick. to me, halo 4 has followed suit with halo reach, that being "meh". where as halo 2,3, had exciting competitive games, great gameplay/strategy, along with enjoyable maps.
