I cannot believe how bad Halo 4 is. 343 industry, I know it takes skill to program games like this but if you allowed my 10 year old cousin to dictate the creative decisions of Halo 4's design process, the Ned product would've have at least been 10x better than what you guys came up with.
The mistakes are moronic and almost make you think 343 was trying to ruin the franchise.
1st pet peeve-meleeing absolutely ----sucks--- compared to Halo 3. Bungie had 3 basic gameplay mechanics to Halo 3-shoot, grenade, and melee. The way meleeing works in Halo 4 is --unbelievably-- bad.
2nd Enemy AI is --terrible, terrible, terrible--. When you play through the campaign in Halo 3 the enemies react differently EVERY time you play. They also do things -other- than strafe. They run and hide, the attack, they flank, they group together and attack, they hold back, etc. In Halo 4 they only strafe. WTBleep 343?
3rd Multiplayer. The levels are waaaay to large. Wen they are small they seem to be haphazardly designed. Did you guys even play The Pit on Halo 3?
4th Controls In Halo 3 you felt absolutely in control of Master Chief. In Halo 3 everything felt a bit slow which gives the user time to think of strategies and react to other players actions while moving throughout the level. Halo 4 feels like its on fast forward constantly and also feels like the gravity is much stronger. The vehicles don't do the cool things they do in Halo 3
5th level design. The levels in Halo 3 always had the player immersed in the game. You moved through a level twice, once to enter a building and once to exit. The world felt convincing every moment of gameplay. I admit Halo 4 has good graphics but the level design is BORING.
Well that's about all I have time to lecture 343 on how they got Halo 4 so wrong. I was INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HALO PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. I had a limited time to spend with a dear family member who loves games and made the serious mistake of buying Halo 4. I honestly felt like I've been stabbed in the back when I read all the good reviews of Halo 4 AND WILL NEVER TRUST REVIEW CONSENSUS EVER AGAIN. CLEARLY THE REVIEWERS ARE PAYED OFF WHEN YOU CAN GOOGLE HALO 4 AND IT COMES UP WITH HALO 4 SUCKS YET YOU CAN'T FIND A BAD REVIEW. HALO 4 deserved nothing over a 50%, it's an absolutely amateur attempt at making a game.
