Lol no. I don't see what all the crying is about with Halo 4's multiplayer. I find it perfectly fine, aside from the issues with the Boltshot and the double melee I have literally no problem with it. Its just as fun as all the other Halo games for me.
I keep hearing about balance issues, but heres the thing, if your loadout is unbalanced compared to an enemies, just change it. Bam, you've made your own balance and have no need to cry about it anymore.
I think I'm in love with you now,
. All joking aside I feel much the same way for the new multiplayer stuff but I miss the older 4v4 style maps, settings and in game ranks.
There is plenty of room in playlists/settings management for both and more e.g. Flood, Grifball, Action Sack + Classic & Infinity etc. A distinctive segregation between weighted ranked for more classic appeal and social for more Infinity appeal is required in the next title.
IMO 343i just went too far into their own vision and they've realised that for the most part, just look at the support since the new year. I feel the next title will provide the maps/settings more exacting for classic in a number of playlists. They'll also have ranked/social split too. They know and we all know it.
stop supporting halo 4 please. game is awful.
This is where I take issue with HaloGAF, not targeting you specifically mate but you can't tell me the following aren't all AAA-grade:
1. Graphics.
2. Character model/animation quality.
3. Mocap/animation.
4. Facial capture/animation.
5. Forward Onto Dawn (biggest web series budget to date and I found it fantastic, incredible really on only 10Million budget).
6. Updated Bungie's weird scaling output to native 720p finally and removed a ton of jaggies too.
7. Remix soundtrack contest, admit it that was really cool.
8. CGI quality in campaign & SPOPS.
9. The idea of SPOPS and something innovative.
10. Chief & Cortana personal story.
11. Terminals are damned good.
12. More than half the books are now great.
13. Unification of the lore across media.
I could keep going but to write the whole game off because of just multiplayer or a few missing features doesn't see, right. I'm NOT trying to say Halo 4 is the best Halo game in every facet, there's a mix from all games in certain aspects.
Sure these things sucked:
1. No campaign theatre.
2. Forge fine editing.
3. Bugs and exploits, but we've seen far better support since new year.
4. Mammoth mission could have been so much better.
5. Scope of SPOPS in game play/Reach style customised character scenes could have been far better.
6. Marketing leading up or handling of DLC issues etc could have gone smoother.
7. Missed real developer made classic maps/settings at launch.
8. Ranked/social split should have been a given during early development.
9. Waypoint statistics could be less flashy and faster while retaining previous statistics e.g.
10. In game UI needed to use party display, more space for less scrolling in post carnage, joining players should show time left and current game score, some other "standard stats" etc.
11. Extension of new features e.g. streaming or spectating etc.
IMHO The game has its flaws but is far from being awful.
