OldSchoolHaloFan Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Dear 343 I really enjoyed Halo, and I thought your addition of Dominion to the Halo Saga was a nice touch. I have spent that last 30 minutes trying to find something else positive to say about what you guys have done with Halo and I haven’t been able to think of anything VEHICLE’S: Why do you slow down while taking fire? Really? This addition makes no sense, and when complied with the fact that everyone can start out with a plasma pistol if they so choose make’s vehicles damn near worthless! LOADOUT’S: Having the ability to build custom load outs has severely crippled the multi-player experience; with being able to start with weapons such as the plasma pistol, plasma grenades, a one shot kill weapon such as the bolt shot and scoped weapons. A side from just annoying player’s it only rewards people who have played previously and discourages new comers from wanting to play do to the fact that they are not only inexperienced but also out gunned. TAKING DAMAGE: Removing the side effect of dropping someone out of zoom when shot really removes the only good defense against ranged weapons. I also can’t comprehend why a two ton Spartan with fully charged energy shields slows to a crawl when fired on. This more often than not just turns you into a sitting duck, if anything if someone was shooting at me I think I would run faster. One of my favorite things about Halo was getting into epic exciting battles that I would tell stories about for hours, but now you die WAY to quickly and it doesn’t really give you time to have these said big epic battles with any one, I also think that the poor flow of maps discourages these type of one on one battles. MATCH MAKING : Where is blood gulch? How can you produce a Halo game and exclude one of it’s biggest staples? What happened to Invasion, king of the hill and multi-team? They were some of the greatest playlist’s to exist! The removal of the ranking/ matching system was a huge mistake. In past Halo games I would be matched with people of a similar skill level as me now I get paired with every moron who figured out how to turn on an xbox! And the opposing teams end up being people who play together 24/7 and joined as a group so it’s not even fun! No one likes playing a game that is so one sided that they can’t take ten steps without dying cause you feel like you’re the only one playing against the opposing team. On the flip side it’s not any fun if the opposing team doesn’t even put up a fight! Congratulations 343, you took an award winning cult classic and raped the **** out of it… no means no 343…. No means no. Sincerely, A true Halo fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Dog Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 OP you make some good points about your single like and numerous dislikes of the game. There have been others who have not liked either part of, most of or all of the game. I believe you need the chance to post about your feelings of the game. I have removed all previous posts as they are either unnecessary, seeming to instigate or trying to diminish your feeling because they do not agree with you or only want to hear the positives. Fact is, we are a forum about Halo, 343 Industries and relevant other discussions. You have apparently missed the fact that we are a fan based forum, but that is okay. It is sad to me when members are unable to allow members, new or old, voice a negative opinion about the current game. This post has just as much merit as one that sings the praises of Halo. If you can not accept that and post accordingly, then stay away from OP's such as this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB77 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Then couldn't we voice negative opinions about his opinions? I agree with many of the opinions posted above and I think 343 failed to live up to some standards. I think that this thread compared to most was quite fair towards 343 and it described the OPs opinion mostly without agression. However there were unecessary statements that were purely agression and are uneccesary if you are aiming for a mature discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back I agree and apologize for when I got a bit off track and any "unnecessary statements" I had just got done playing some "war games" and was feeling very sore towards 343 while writing the OP, and as a result some unnecessary aggression worked its way in. However I still stand by my opinions as well as have many more that I had meant to add but forgot. I am glad to see that I am not alone and have had some open minded responses even some agreeing with at least some of what I had to say. Again I apologize for any unproductive or offensive comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all good. I can understand you being irritated. We just have to learn to control it sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfatherS117 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It is the first game that 343 release so that's sure that it will not be perfect like the other Halo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely understandable, but if you have never climbed a mountain before you don’t take on Everest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
