Halo 4 Improvement thread

[icycoolx]

This thread has been created for the purpose of bringing all the concerns of what should be improved on the game to here. If you have something that you think should be nerfed, removed, edited, etc please post in this thread. If you disagree with me or anyone else please let everyone know with good information.

 

Okay firstly, I would like to say the map design for some of the maps. At this point they can't really do much about the maps now (or maybe they can). However, I think anything the community makes will be better than the maps made by 343. I am not disrespecting 343 but what I am saying is that I would love to see forge maps in matchmaking. I know I am not the only one and I have heard this requested a few times. Some of the maps are good like Haven, Adrift, Complex, and I don't know about the DLC because I haven't played it.

 

Now I think that on Abandon the map is a little too campy in the center on Ring two of the center building. Now with Solace, I think they overdid it with power weapons. You have an energy sword, incineration cannon, two sniper rifles, and there is no telling what you could get from ordinances. The map is way too small and open for it and I feel like just having the sword and snipers would be enough. However even with that the map still feels way too open and tiny. Complex is decent for slayer and it works great for CTF. Haven is a pretty good map all around even with it's unpredictability. Adrift is probably better with infinity slayer more than anything else.

 

Now onto weapons, the Bolt shot should be removed probably. Many people are complaining about it and nerfing it would probably just make it worthless. The incineration cannon I think should not be in infinity slayer at all. This weapon I think should either be nerfed, removed, or taken away from infinity slayer except for Big Team Battle. The beam rifle feels a little too easy to use but then again you don't get it very often anyways so that may not be a big deal.

 

EDIT:

 

I think that adding more forge maps to the game would be nice as well. They could be good DLC.

 

Now that is all for now but if I think of something I will keep adding to this post. Sorry if it is a little disorganized.

I can't tell you how many times I play Regicide and everyone just runs up to me and throws a plasma grenade at point-blank range so that they will definitively kill me & since I'm the King, the suicide mission is completely worth it for them

i could only suggest not to let people get that close until 343 does something about it

I'd like to see more of the on-disc maps for different playmodes. Or, well, all maps for all playlists. It gets pretty boring having only five maps to choose from, and I've been playing for just two days, now...

 

I'd like to see all Spartan Ops Chapters in Matchmaking - despite what 343 says, more episodes to play in MM will actually increase the amount of players; as well as the option to play through all chapters of an episode via Matchmaking - you find three other people that all start at chapter one and will stay together until the last chapter so you don't need to find new people after every chapter.

 

I'd like to see Invasion, Spartan vs Spartan, in matchmaking. If you would merge CTF, Extraction and Dominion, and do the tiered map sizes and objective locations, that`s what you'd get. I'd even be happy with a Siege-type Game mode, where one team starts with a Base/Objective and the other team has to conquer it. Dominion is too unfocused and Extraction too chaotic. Invasion was my favorite game-type for Halo games.

 

I'd like to have better spawn points for MP, since you can easily be spawn-killed from across the map on some maps - which is even more annoying when there's a building right beside your spawn point, but you can't choose to spawn in there.

 

I'd like to have the ability to spawn on a squad/teammate - yeah, just like Invasion had. Two- or Three-Man teams would be great with that mechanic.

 

I'd like to be able to switch my grenades while having ordnance available - there's so much done with hold/tap functionality for two different actions on the same button, it should not be hard to make ordnance a hold D-Pad and grenade-switch a tap D-Pad.

 

I'd like to be moved by thrusters in the direction I turned too during a jump if I press forward on the left stick - if you jump, then turn during the jump and press forward, the thrusters will move you not in the direction you are facing and pressing the stick towards, but in the direction you are moving.

 

I'd like to have the Mobility thing removed - it reminds me of "Marathon, Lightweight, Commando", and people actually play it that way. And I'm only halfway joking about this. Same goes for the Scavenger perk. Extremely weird decisions...
