I agree with you completely, glad to know that some people are on my side! Zuko 'Zarhamee obviously never forged in Halo: Reach and barely played Halo 3/Reach custom games, that's probably why he's content with Halo 4's.

That's all I have to say. We as the faithful Halo community have waited for this game to arrive, we purchased it, and now we don't get half of the custom games and forge options that we got in the previous Halo games. We don't even get a decent sized forge map! This is completely unacceptable. Read this forum: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst127421_Custom-game-options-are-unacceptable--343.aspx So as you can see I am not the only one with this opinion, bring back what has made Halo great. We don't need any "new" features, we need the options that we fell in love with back when Bungie was in charge of the Halo franchise. No excuses, Microsoft gave you the right to carry one the series, and so far you have seriously messed it up. Stop holding back the community from being creative, let US make Halo better, because obviously you don't know how to. Maybe if you listened to the community rather than ignoring them and focused on the traditional elements of Halo such as "options" half as much as you focused on graphics and copying Call of Duty than the faithful community might be a little happier. Yet you continue to ignore us. It seems everytime someone posts a negative forum on here or Halo Waypoint, you're either with 343i or against them, well let me tell you- Us loyal Halo players, those that started playing the series since Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and even Halo: Reach when Bungie was in charge are saddened at what Halo 4 has become, no more creativity... just new graphics, less options, and elements from Call of Duty in an attempt to attract non-Halo vets to the series to make more money. 343i, it's not about making money, it's about making a quality game; Call of Duty isn't a quality game, yet it sells more copies than any other game, don't go down that path. Save Halo, it's not too late!

My favorite part about Halo: Reach was all of the playlists it offered. I could play some good old Team Slayer for a while to pass some time, then play some Team Snipers to improve my sniping skills, then I could jump into a game of Action Sack or Grifball and play Halo Ball or Dino Blasters to screw around and admire the creativity of this game, and if I wanted to get competitive I could join some of my buddies and play MLG for a bit. In Halo: Reach there was literally nothing you couldn't do with it's countless playlists and custom games/forge that it had. While I love Halo 4, I just feel like it didn't meet my expectations, the forge maps aren't even close to being as big as Forge World was... you can't build a decent race track anymore (there's not even a race game type) or a "Pillar of Autumn" replica because there simply isn't enough space, and without regular infection you can't create games like Cops n Robbers, Fat Kid, Hot Pursuit, Jenga Tower, Jaws, Teacher and the many other game types... you can't play these games with "Flood mode," it just isn't possible. Halo 4 is superior when it comes to graphics and audio, but that's just about it in my opinion... Halo 3 had the most competitive online and the best campaign, Halo 2 had the best maps, and Halo: Reach had the most variety and the best custom games and forge. 343i can you please bring back Team Snipers and Free For All? Can you please release a decent forge map that has enough space to build something? Can you add more gametypes? And can you please bring a Classic Slayer option so I can put in traditional weapon spawns "without" it showing everyone on the map where the weapon respawned at, (I'm a little tired of all of these perks, ordanance drops and other features, I just need a break from it all)? I don't know if the forge you released was an attempt to make it harder to build maps and gametyes in order to make us players buy more DLC and map packs and focus more on your online servers (which I already play matchmaking or "Infinity" more than I play customs) but I really miss the creativity that the Halo franchise used to have, these are simply speculations and I'm not accusing you guys (343i) of any of thism I just feel like Halo 4 has so much potential, but lacks creativity and the "fun" factor. I love 343i by the way and other than Bungie, wouldn't want any other company to make the series. You guys rock!
