Meh. Delta Halo and Gravemind/High Charity still beat anything that we got in Reach and 4, IMO.
Lol, sorry, thing is i only recognized you 3 guys.

I'm so sick of the current playlists and I don't have any friends to play custom games with. I made a 2vs2 map but can't properly playtest it...

I think it's safe to say a Custom Games Browser (alongside 343's MM vision of Halo) would've helped a lot with the issues people are having.
I hope this is sarcasm.
Because this is worse.
Because we were promised over and over, "We'll fix what was wrong with Reach, we'll make Halo feel like Halo again."
And all they did was remove one armor ability, and add 100 worse things.
I consider Reach MUCH worse than Halo 4.
Lol better than your first one at least.
We thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
This game is literally 20 times better than Reach. Team Regicide is one of the best playlists introduced in the franchise, too.
Fix the other shit, maybe toss in some X's and ranks and we've got ourselves a game.

Seal with the santa hat is epic. Don't change it.
Even with Halo 4's issues, I like the game loads better than Reach.
Do you have a direct quote on that? Frankie said on here that Reach was to him one of the best FPS ever made.
That's not 343's fault that you set yourself up. You could literally see exactly what type of game this was gonna be months before it launched.
The game has issues, but I still have more fun with it than I ever did with Reach.
Okay I guess I feel little more betrayed than other people.
Campaign was definitely better than Reach. Way better.
No but that's always the impression I got. This thread was orgasming over Halo 4 for ages even though it was obvious that it wasn't really what they wanted.
Go back to Reach days, lot of people wanted AAs gone, period. That's what powerups were supposed to be for.

Yeah, this game has some issues (fixable issues), but is better than reach by far, this is coming from a guy that made it to inheritor.
I hate Promethean Vision so fucking much. I hate Camo so fucking much. I hate Jetpack so fucking much. All of these abilities are a detriment to some form of the gameplay. Why are they in the game?
I'm trying to enjoy this game. Fuck, I even enjoyed no sprint, no instant respawns last night. But I can't stand what armor abilities do to the gameplay.

Gameplay feels way more like Halo than Reach did.
Reach felt like, nothing I've played. And certainly wouldn't want to play.
Yeah there are problems with 4, and hilariously bad decisions in the game design, but to be honest I have never played a Halo game I didn't have issues with. I have never gotten *my* perfect Halo game, so I sure as hell am not delusional enough to expect it.

Halo 3 was close though
WHY DO YOU RUN FROM YOUR FEELINGS
I agree with this. If a TU happens, it needs to have these.
And file browsing. When the hell is that coming online?
i deleted your posts
I think the more upsetting thing is that there is no support for classic Halo.
I was excited when I thought that Halo 4 would have the wacky AA modes, and then an option for traditional Halo gameplay. We didn't get that whatsoever. And the frustrating part is, it would not be difficult to support a 100% classic mode.
Eh, it's a mixed bag. Base gameplay is better than Reach, but I don't really enjoy the gametypes the same way I was able to even with Reach. Slayer seems to be more or less what it always was, which is fine, and I can still get a kick out of it (Team Regicide is pretty good, and is my favorite Slayer-type playlist in the game). Objective stuff is hit or miss, with an emphasis on miss. Smart changes to King and Oddball, but it's not enough to make them last for long stretches, and CTF I can't work up any enthusiasm toward at all. The improvements made towards the first two can't justify the loss of certain other gametypes for me, though I'm sure those things will be playable in some form or another soon.
It's certainly got a lot more potential than Reach did. I'd love to say that the core game is enough to make it one of my favorites, but that possibility is fading pretty quickly for me. If or when gametypes get their fixes, if or when Big Team is worth playing again, I'll probably be able to have more fun than I did with Reach, but I don't think I was ever as apathetic towards it as I am towards Halo 4 at the moment. Whatever they do to instant respawn and global ordnance will have a pretty big impact on my enjoyment of the game, whether it's keeping it in or changing it to be something sensible. Not that I want the same game over and over again (loadouts and perks I ultimately don't have a big problem with outside of specific issue-creating items), but I'd like the pace of the game to return to its former state since that really defined the series for me more than any one other thing.

I'd watch your wall like a hawk if I were you...it's about to get...graphic...
What makes it worse is that I played classic Halo in Halo 4 last night.
If modders can do it in a month, 343 can do it in a day.
Ugh.
My sandbox issues would be alleviated if the game had set loadouts.
BTB issues are obvious, but having people spawn with stickies and just suicide sticking you when you get close... I've even had a guy run up, stick me, and hard light himself to survive.

Yup. Watching those Making of Halo 3 videos reminded me how cool AA's would've been as map pickups like equipment ;[
If the next Smash has perks...... CoD will have taken over everything I cherished in MP gaming.
Should be made into a Halo OT title.
Yup.
And fuck it, just make a SINGLE classic hopper! Mix Slayer and Objective! Who cares. It's better than nothing.
Is your avatar supposed to be some Doctor X parody or something?
That's his signature avatar, duh. He's used it since he's joined.

I would love that. That's what I've been asking for, one playlist with Halo 2/3 settings.

So I take it that this thread is the actual OT? So bitter, haha.
...
Quite excited to see what comes out of the second half of Spartan Ops. Reading Ellis's comments from last night or whatever gives me hope. Of course environments will be reused, but at the very least there will be some new ones.

How mad are you all gonna be when the 2nd half of SpOps takes place in the other half of the campaign environments they didn't use for the first half?
I see jungles in our future.
Honestly? I'm expecting it. Not gonna bother me much at all if they're ripped from campaign. Just sick of the same 5 or so maps coming up... (Sniper Alley can smd)

Remove those three AA's, add in red x death markers, respawn timers, and all of a sudden the game gets much much better, like exponentially better. I have no idea what 343 is smoking not go ahead and just do that right this second. Live in the now!!!

I'll write another 1500 words about it.
Yeah. And if it's Forge remakes, I won't even care.

People would be idiots not to expect it and a mix of more MP maps.
