threebetbrett Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm an old Halo 2 junkie...LOVED that game...addicted like crazy and played 8 hours a day online in matchmaking. I just went out and bought all the stuff to get totally into Halo 4. VERY disappointed....VERY. The maps are good and I like the new features, but the amount of vehicles on the maps is ridiculous....it really makes it not fun at all. I loved the purity of Halo 2...going head to head in shoot 'em up one on one with BRs and stuff. This online version sucks...I've had it for like 4 days and I'll play like 2 or 3 games and lose interest because of all the warthogs, ghosts, and whatever the hell that big robot is called. LAME...please get rid of them, or at least introduce some maps that don't have as many. I'm afraid I just got all hyped up for Halo 4 (and spent a decent amount of money on it) only to be disappointed and lose interest in a week. Am I the only one who doesn't like this??? If so, please tell me... Losing interest fast............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I agree that there are a lot of unnecessary vehicles in here, but that's been a problem with Halo since forever and is not new to Halo 4. Halo 4 didn't help the situation by adding the Mantis though. The only vehicles we actually need are the Warthog and the Mongoose so that we may deliver our flag/bomb carriers across the map. The Banshee being there is acceptable, but only without it's missile, like in Halo 2. Of course the old lock-on feature of the rocket launcher from Halo 2 needs to return as well. The tanks are unnecessary overkill and the Mantis and Ghost both serve no purpose and should not be there at all. It doesn't ruin the game for me and it never has, but it certainly would be better without all of that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF BaDInTentZs Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Agree with OP. Vehicle use is supposed to be a "priviledge" or power addition, not one for everybody lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHaNGMaNi Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 On Complex you feel it the worst. At the start of the match hearing the other team power up the ghost just makes me cringe. Getting it into buildings, putting it onto the roof, and smacking me in the face when I spawn in the middle of the open make me want to turn the game off sometimes. That and the frustration of taking down the driver's shields only to have him boost away...instant rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Initiate Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think the people behind Halo: Reach and Halo 4 have more fun destroying vehicles than using them. It IS fun crushing a warthog with a laser, or armor locking and letting a ghost splatter itself, but it's not fun being that hog or that ghost. I seriously believe that we've been getting more quantity less quality out of vehicles since Reach, and I think it's because the branch of Bungie responsible for Reach and 343 just think it's way cooler to have a bunch of deathtraps on the field that players will keep trying to use instead of a few powerful vehicles that good players will use amazingly well. To be fair though, I suspect you get a lot fewer jerks betraying for vehicles when everyone can have one, and once again we have an example of a few members of a group of people ruining everything for the whole group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Treason Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just use a Plasma Pistol and they become free kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just use a Plasma Pistol and they become free kills. Agreed. The large amount of vehicles in a BTB battle are easily combated by the ability for everyone to equip a plasma pistol. Some people forget this though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocoa Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Agreed. The large amount of vehicles in a BTB battle are easily combated by the ability for everyone to equip a plasma pistol. Some people forget this though. Or some people refuse to give up the Boltshot. I get so frustrated when I am the only person on my team that has Plasma Pistol and my dumb as rocks teammates just keep getting splattered as they try and board the enemy vehicles.

LiQuid BioniX Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I usually roll with an engineer/support type class when playing BTB. Vehicles just become massive targets for me. Easy kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortar Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Vehicles have always been an important part of Halo. You said you liked Halo 2 but there were just as many maps that had vehicles as now so this complaint is not valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
