Wow!!!! now I love all of you and respect your opinions but for real a lot of you seem to say things that are blatant assumptions and or just you saying something to in my opinion bash on this posters opinion. its his opinion please leave it at that you guys it would be like me saying this---> when 343 took over halo reach all of the sudden a very competitive and fun game somehow became unfun gee wonder how that happened, I mean seriously I never had for instance issues with randomly being thrown around maps in vehicles or randomly exploding 1 kill before an Invincible for no reason until 343 put those utterly pathetic forge maps in reach, Bungie may have messed things up but still they consistently listened to there community and fixed most if not all of there issues because Bungie truly cared about the people they sucked into there universe lol. now that's my opinion and nothing will change that because my playing on both of these games and being heard by Bungie and not 343 backs up what im saying. I agree with this post for the obvious reason that I play halo 4 everyday and see the same issues with the csr system. btw join in progress will mess up your csr especially if you get dropped in a game that you absolutely cannot win which is pretty much an auto loss which affects your csr I know because I have only a overall 35 csr when I should have it higher but I am forced to back out of games or sign out to avoid getting an auto loss and or getting banned from leaderboards for DNF's that I cant control because of the broken join in progress system. there is no competitive in halo 4 so in my opinion there shouldn't even be a csr lol.
343 focused more on the story - as they should have - and gave the multiplayer a very good go, and I still enjoy playing it occasionally. But you have to look at what else is going on in the world of gaming besides Halo 4. Call of Duty Black Ops came out very close to Halo 4 and kind of overshadowed the Multiplayer universe for the game. I cannot stand Call of Duty, any of the games, because every person I speak to has never even played the story missions, they jump straight onto the multiplayer to 'Prestige' of something to that effect. Mainly because Call of Duty is a multiplayer based game. And it definitely has its fair share of issues in terms of 'Lag' - though to be perfectly honest, Halo 4 has never lagged on me and I have a cabled internet connection. I know people with Wifi connections that have major issues, but that is most likely the connection itself.
sorry dude but that's just a little bit of a biased opinion but its yours so live with it right? now most of the people who I play cod with play the story first or at some point in the first day a new cod comes out, now with cod lag its just plain and simple lag compensation which sucks but oh well one learns to deal with it lol. also your statement and some others about the lag on halo 4 or the lack of is correct and also not correct. halo 4 does have lag compensation on it now its in my opinion going to be in most if not all of future games because of peoples varying internet connections and speeds its just halo 4's lag comp isn't as severe as cod, now for your statement about being "hardwired" can make all the difference in halo multiplayer because you will be able to pretty much get the full affect of your internet going into your xbox wifi plain and simple sucks for online gaming.
