Halo MCC Playlist Popularity, Ordered by Population

ITT people learn their own personal convictions don't match up with the public and maybe learn that H4 was better than they thought.
they don't though...
 
I think Halo 4 is that high because H4 isn't included in some of the other playlists at all, like Team Slayer.

no it's own playlist. Team Slayer includes CE, 2, 2A, 3 and 4 and there is an actually separate Halo 4 playlist, both are different.
 
Whoa now, H2 is a fantastic game, it also has very fast movement.

H3 sucks though.

It can be okay and it is faster than 3 but weapon sounds kill it for me. Always have. I'll never understand how they went from such beefy sounding weapons in CE to Halo 2's wet fart guns.

Campaign is a mess despite being rather interesting lore wise but thats another topic entirely.
 
Halo 2 and 3 suck ass. There, I said it. Shit weapons with terrible sound design and poor hit feedback. Molasses slow movement. Halo 4 is in its rightful spot as far as I'm concerned. Its all I play.

This comment hurts my soul. I respect your opinion though.
 
H4 haters probably haven't played it since it launched on Xbox 360.

It isn't that bad, I generally like the maps too... Especially following the halo 3 DLC maps and reach maps.

I thought the anniversary playlist would be higher, what's up with that?

I'll agree the weapons don't sound great.

Campaign is an interesting one, I think the first half contains some of my favourite Halo levels, the second half has some of the worst levels.

The story is very good though.
 
Here's the one true ranking:

Halo 2 > Halo CE > Halo 4 > Halo 3 > Smash Bros Melee > Bomberman LIVE > Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
 
Haha, if you were to listen to GAF on H4 you'd assume it was universally reviled. Looks like people like it just fine. I think Reach is my fav, but 4 is just fine.
 
How many people is that though? Where is the population counter that has been missing?

This. Rankings are meaningless if we don't know how many people are still playing.

Given how quickly and deeply the player base for H4 dropped off, this information seems particularly intriguing to have been omitted.
 
Apparently halo 4's MP structure improved greatly since launch... I wasn't aware of this because I was so off put by how it launched...

Interesting... Still I'm surprised to see H2 and H2A so far down the list...

Well the MCC version completely lacks ordnance drops and includes weapons on map now. That change alone has massively improved the game.
 
Maps still suck, but everything is okay. It just terrible to play BTB on.
Eh, the maps in the H4 playlist are okay.

Haven, Skyline and Monolith are all great maps, the Pit works surprisingly well in H4 and I really like Landfall as well.

I don't play BTB though.
 
Makes sense 4 is near the top. It and anniversary have the best graphics and hit registry. I also like sprint and abilities. A few things are off such as the weapon spawn system and how dropped ones disappear fast among other things but it's still my favorite.
 
It still has sprint, flinch and childishly easy aiming.

It still sucks...

Flinch is pretty bad, Sprint is useless, no good player use it, aiming isn't easier than 2 and 2A, sniping in 2C and 2A are jokingly easy. But 4 has way better hit detection especially when you don't get dedis (lol), I would go for 4 any day above the 3 maps of 2A.
 
I'm sad when any game doesn't show how many are in a playlist. I don't want to waste my time waiting for a match that is never going to happen.
 
I remember saying halo 4 will be the most popular game and everyone went "wtf". Glad to see that I ended up being right. People were obviously going to flock for the latest installment

This is why i am a huge advocate for multi-mode matchmaking.

Tick every play mode your interested in and you get into a match faster because you have a bigger pool of players to match against. Too bad 99% console devs are dumb and stupid to ever implement this. Let just ignore a server browser for arguments sake.
 
I love that MCC still doesn't have active playlist numbers, but Rocket League has had them since at or right after launch.

Thanks for the robust support 343.
 
Halo 4 got fixed up pretty well once they stripped it back and it's one of the best at core movement and gun play. I've got love and hate for all the games.
 
I think Halo 4 actually plays best (along with Halo 2 :anniversary) I don't know if they have better net code or better hit registration, but it always just feels like I'm playing better in those.
 
H4 is pretty good in MCC. It's post-TU and Infinity Slayer is only very rarely selected (i.e. You usually play H4 with no load outs or kill streak rewards and power weapons on map). Otherwise, it's a solid Halo game with sprint and mediocre maps.

Infinity slayer has no ordnance drops and weapons on maps in the MCC.

Even the Infinity settings have no ordnance drops, and getting to pick what utility weapon you want to spawn with is actually pretty fun, and Thruster Pack. Fuck Promethean Vision though.
 
I never understood the hate for Halo 4. It's my favorite Halo game. It has the most satisfying movement and gunplay in the MCC.

My only complaint with Halo 4 was the weapon balance at launch, boltshot was super annoying.
 
no it's own playlist. Team Slayer includes CE, 2, 2A, 3 and 4 and there is an actually separate Halo 4 playlist, both are different.
Afaik team slayer only includes 1-3. If you want to play team slayer on h4 you need to go to its own playlist and hope that it wins the vote.

Wat
Change H4 with H3 and we are good to go. The H3 Sniper for example feels way more satisfying when getting Headshots etc. Its not like in H4 or so when everything is full of Auto Aim and High Bullet Magnetism.

H3 has better movement and shooting than 4?

I mean if crawling and pea shooters are your thing then that could be true I guess.

All the weapons in Halo 4 sound way better then anything in 3.

Also, Halo 3 weapons don't have hitscan. It's far less satisfying to get into long distance encounters with projectile weapons.
