Halo is DEAD!

[Spartan Rider]

***I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, SO I CAN'T EXPRESS CLEARLY. SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKE***

 

I admit, I'm not a Halo player since the CE. I started to play in Halo 3, indeed I like Halo 3 very much. I was wishful to Halo 4 come, 'cause the graphics and almost everything was looking preety awesome. I'm still thinking the same now, but something is wrong with it. Halo is not Halo anymore! The aspects of Halo 4 is pretty good, but it doesn't fit in the Halo that we know.

 

I can relate everything that does me disappointed in Halo 4.

 

 

1- Armor Abilities: I haven't much to argue, but simply I don't like it.

 

2- Loadouts: It's bad 'cause it makes all weapons unbalanced. Everybody respawning with DMR killing across the map, making the others guns irrelevant.

 

3- No Dual-Wielding: This was a stupid change, it's something intrinsic in Halo gameplay. No fun!

 

4- Maps: Looking like CoD. No life, no color unlike the previous Halo games.

 

5- Sprint: It simply doesn't fit in Halo. :/

 

6- No Social Battle Team (I guess the name is like that).

 

7- Ordnance Drop: It got rid of the struggle to get weapons respawn, and strategy to sabotage.

 

Some personal confessions:

 

 

Well, I'm not skunking the 343i. The game looks good, but all I complain is about the new changes isn't fitting in Halo.

 

I believe that 343i could make a awesome new franchise. Make another game, with another history, another Universe, and make your own identity. It could be an awesome game. Well, the Xbox needs to have more exclusives.

[Cassi]

Well, for not speaking English, you speak it better than most others. lol

 

As for Halo being dead, I disagree. Different, yes. Dead, no.

[Chris Hansen]

It's not dead, but it is worse then it's been.

[TornadoFlame]

i don;t beleive its Dead. i think its more of declining. It's a good game. but not a halo one to me anyways.

Nice english was pretty good.

[Spartan Rider]

I think it's dead, because it'll be such a mess, changing suddenly the gameplay of the game to Halo 5. It's such a "re-revolution".

 

Despite, I don't think the "back to my times" a bad idea, but it's such strange and incoherent, changing suddenly!

 

I rather to bet on a new franchise. Well, like I first said: "Well, the Xbox needs to have more exclusives"

[Maximum Clutch]

Destiny is going to blow Halo out of the water.

[Chris Hansen]

Honestly, the bungie version of halo reach was so bad I'm really gonna wait and see before I say if destiny will be good or bad.

Caboose, you need to use full stops at the end of sentences.

 

Nice English for someone who said they don't speak it!

 

Anyway, I don't care if the population dies; that's their loss. If I enjoy it(I enjoy 4's MM more than any other halos) then I will play it. I'm in contact with many large clans, allowing to always have full customs and war games lobbies, I would advise you to do that as well. Also because you can use teamwork to win, not being betrayed for getting in a Mantis...

 

 

343 got their money's worth out of 4, regardless of population now. I just hope people aren't put off 5... That could kill the series.

 

 

Oh, and I hate the menus. Especially file browser.

[OhBobSagel]

Different /=/ Dead.

Your english is very nice, however.

I have to disagree with you, OP. Games usually change over years, it is very common.

[Fishy]

If you can't speak Enligsh properly... how did you manage to do so well? And also, Halo is evolving, the world is evolving, POKEMON are EVOLVING!!! So of course, the game is going to be different.

[Yoshi1176]

I expected the game to be different just by the trailers and stuff. It isnt bad in my opinion and certanly not dead.There still is a lot of people playing. Like Bacon Shelf said if they stop playing thats there loss.

[Echo]

It's not dead, it's just a diluted version of 343i's version of Halo 4. I still give them the benefit of the doubt because this is their first game EVER, and it happened to be a Halo game lol. The only complaints I have are lack of gametypes like 1 flag and big team objective and invasion. The gameplay is solid if you ask me. It's just the non-interactable maps and the lack of creative gametypes.

 

Once they start getting creative with gametypes like Bungie did when making invasion and 1 flag/1 bomb, I'll be back on Halo. But this probably wont happen till Halo 5. 

 

I HONESTLY think 343i is trying to pull a Halo CE on us, cause Halo CE had few gametypes and no round based gametypes, or dual wielding. I think theyre gonna bring back the stuff that was introduced in Halo 2, into Halo 5. Such as dual wielding making a return, 1 flag/bomg, etc, making the "Halo 5" the new "Halo 2" in the new series.

[Spartan Rider]

"Everything changes! Evolves!"

 

 

I agree and like the changing, otherwise, everything would be monotonous!

 

But a change can't to be tolerate, when this gets rid of the essence. And this happened to Halo!

 

The game is not itself anymore!

 

All I suppose is, if the change gets rid of the game's essence, so it would be better if they make another franchise. And this is good, 'cause the Xbox needs novelties.

Honestly, the bungie version of halo reach was so bad I'm really gonna wait and see before I say if destiny will be good or bad.

Well, all franchises has his "weak time". Don't be so hard...

 

But the fact about Destiny doesn't be exclusive to Xbox 360, makes me frustrated. The Xbox needs exclusives!!!

[paulic83]

Companies tend not to do console exclusives in this day and age. It's a shame really most tend to get released early rather than exclusively on 1 console or the other. Personally though i'd say the xbox has by far and away the better exclusives halo, GOW and forza are 3 game series ive spent plenty of time on and there all exclusive! Nintendo usually have awsome exclusives but nothing looks even remotley up to there usual standard on this latest machine!

[Tommy]

I honestly just wish they would of Beta tested it.  Most of the glitches and problems in it would of been resolved way before the release!  They screwed that up on my part and I believe all these glitches and problems are the reason so many fans are moving away from it.

i think if this came out sometime this month or next we'd have a amazing game. beta testing it and releasing it unfished was the main reason for so many mixed feelings on this game

[Spartan Rider]

Currently I'm so discouraged for Halo. But the Beta could give some hope!

 

About Sprint: Really, it's so strange for Halo, but it's logical. The fact about I'm playing with Supersoldiers but I can't sprint is very incoherent. But anyway, it just gets rid of the Halo's essence.

 

Does anyone have any idea to adjust sprint in Halo 5?

[Elite]

Dead?

If it is dead, why do so many people play Halo?

Don't make wild claims based on opinions.

[BearClawsKiller]

Ha the English isn't that bad actually. 

But I see what you mean. And I know we may all miss some things, but we all kinda new they gotta add something different.

[Azaxx]

 

1: Armour Abilites give a bit of variety to Halo 4, they aren't totally needed to play the game, and you can easily go well without them. Lack of an argument by you however makes that point pretty much invalid.

2: The DMR is about the only OP loadout weapon. Just needing a slight RoF Decrease and it'll be fixed totally. The other weapons can however easily take out DMR users, since I've done it, I know it can happen.

3: Dual Weilding was hardly an essential part of Halo. Only being in 2 games, it didnt serve much of a role and could be way over powered (Plasma Pistol and Magnum combo). Glad they remove this over powering feature, it wasnt needed at all.

4: I have to argue Exile is one of if not the most colourful map there is on the Entire Franchise. Lush green to the bright brown cliffs, easily colourful. Some maps like complex or Ragnarok could seem at first glance to be dry and "bleached out". But when looking at the finer details it is bright in its own sense, and doesn't resemble CoD or any other game at all.

5: Sprint was needed since Halo CE. Having a super soldier not being able to run was absolutely redicilous. Since the books heavily implied the ran a lot, why did it take 5 games to finally put it in. Sprint has been one of the best inclusions to any Halo game I can think of.

6: I am disappointed with 343 Industries also. I also wanted to play large scale CTF games or even BTB Heavies. But seems we are stuck with BTIS for some time, good to know that 343 Industries confirmed they have plans for BTB though, so the future looks promising.

7: I think this was a good addition. Power Weapon campers ruined the flow and balance of a game. I remember staying high up on the rails in Boneyard (Halo Reach) near the sniper spawn, easily gaining kills with a huge amount of ammo. While I was getting 20+ kills with it alone. I knew I wasn't doing the right thing by staying there. With the Ordnance Drops, it allows a more fair weapon play. Able to get weapons you want, without dying 5 times for it. With that being said, you hardly last long with a ordnance I've found, so it's balanced.

[Spartan Rider]

Dead?

Don't make wild claims based on opinions.

 

I'm not complaining about the game itself. Indeed, I first said that the game is good, but all I'm saying is about Halo isn't Halo anymore. Whatever it be, but it's not Halo.

 

So..... What I'm supposing is about 343i makes another franchise, since they're just disappointing the loyal Halo fans.

 

 

"If it is dead, why do so many people play Halo?"

 

What do you talk about the decline of population?

throw away  dual weilding and give us a massively Op saw? i think anyone would take Duel weilding over Saw.

 

 and last one.  they ruined map controll  with cod like ordances it's only balanced if you have no idea what to really do in the game It was a amazing award system for controlling the map now u can  camp shoot a few people and have rockets in front of you while the other guy gets gernades thats real fair.

[BaconShelf]

@Azzaxx, they are adding Big team objective when Castle map pack comes out in April! CTF, (hopefully) assault, heavies, classic?(Reach/3 gameplay?) I'm looking forward to that.

All of my personal friends I've talked to rather a SAW over Dual Weilding.
