James Brandon Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I was one of those kids that "grew up" with Halo - I bought the original Xbox in 2002 just to play the game. That being said, I know issues are always going to exist in each installment - nothing's perfect; but I was also thinking yesterday how impressed I was with 343 overall for bringing in some new things, and not ruining the series that defined my boyhood. Then I reached level 70 today. I've never seen such a huge "too bad" by a video game developer regarding in-game content, and while I was going to probably continue onto 130 otherwise, the forced break is what is going to cause me to lose interest in playing the game - potentially all together. I can't let myself spend $60 and countless hours on a video game like I used to (meaning at all) but I could never pass up Halo 4. I also didn't get Black Ops 2 for the sole purpose of only being caught up in one game, and as much as I love Halo, I'm almost regretting that decision. I know this is far from the only thread on the subject, but that simply underscores literally how stupid 343i is for thinking it to be a good idea. I can't understand what they were getting at but whoever is responsible should be fired. It's harsh to wish someone to lose their livelihood over a video game issue, but from a business standpoint, it's self-inflicted wound to both feet, and it's clear Halo fans worldwide are reeling because of it. That's cool there's an update and all coming, but it's not soon enough. I didn't start playing the game 'til DECEMBER 22nd, and I can only imagine how furious I would be had I bought it exactly a month earlier. I already beat Legendary solo, so what else is there? Spartan Ops worthwhile? I can't use any of the experience though, so I'm tempted not to get into it. Edited January 13, 2013 by Absolute Dog for language.

Durandal v2 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 You could always play the game like normal, it is a game after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I normally play some customes like duck hunt, lava pit, and some made up ones. I would suggest if your good at forging just build some fun games and maybe join a clan or just invite people from here of in recent games.

Barack Obama Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just play for fun. Games shouldn't be just trying to get to the highest level all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Play the game for fun perhaps? After all it is a GAME! Get a few friends in a party, play, chat, have a laugh etc It's not always about maxing a game out as quick as possible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudDrunkIrish Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well I have to agree with the posts saying play the game for fun, I mean it will not be long before you get to lvl 130 and then thats it as far as the xp thing is concerned..

Predalian5 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Complaining about rank? Oh... So you're one of those people... Well. When I reach full level, I'll work my *** off on getting all the commendations. That should keep me occupied for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 How about work towards the Armor and completing commendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hone your skills, boost your KD, unlock all the stances, and get commando armor. That should fill your schedule until those specializations come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
