Many things about Halo 4 bug me, and it is sad to say that 343 has fallen in with the multiplayer similar to Call of Duty. One of the reasons Halo 2, 3 and Reach were all good was because they all had the universal Halo feel. Reach was a stretch, but still a decent game. There were no weapons to unlock, and yes if you wanted that power weapon, you had to work for it. When the weapon was used up, you had to wait for it to re-spawn. During that time there was good old fashion fighting, and real tactics were needed in order to win the game. With the changes halo four has, after a certain amount of kills, you get the option of receiving some power up, or a power weapon. While I'm sure this makes for a more fast-paced game, it completely ruins the sport. For instance, you run around the map and finally kill that annoying sniper (sometimes me) in the corner, and are filled with accomplishment, because you would now not have to worry about getting sniped again. All this only to find out that 3 other people on the same team have sniper rifles as well. Same can be said for Rockets, Spartan Laser, and Binary rifle (Promethean sniper). Thus tactics are kicked out the window, and the game merely turns into a power fest. I appreciated trying to award the players for doing well, but the medals, for me seemed to be enough. The same logic could be used for starting out with "upgrades" such as Dexterity, Radar while zoomed in, and many more. Walking around the map, and coming across someone who can reload faster than you during a fight is hardly what I would call fair. Granted I could choose it too, but the problem will always be there. The universal sprint makes it impossible to have a fair fight, and should be changed back into an armor ability. Not just for that reason, but also because it doesn't feel like halo. I'm far from the best player, but I have played all the Halo games and Loved Halo 3 multiplayer with a passion. They had a good system, and Bungie knew exactly what to feed their fans. Although i will always be a halo fan I feel like 343 lost many of their fan base trying to appease the Call of Duty and Battlefield community. They have there games, and we have ours. Please keep the integrity of what Halo has always been and what we have all felt playing them in the past.
