Halo 4 is Halo Reach (rant)
If you hated/dislsiked Halo Reach, what the hell is going to make you like Halo 4? Halo 4 basically has everything bad that Halo Reach has and more.
Armor abilities [i]again[/i]? instant, but -blam!- and useless camp promoting camouflage? X-RAY vision? WTF? May as well just tear down all the walls in every map. And the only thing a jetpack does for you is gets you killed faster. In stead of being in view of 1 player, let the whole team see you: great!
Well if you guys enjoy sprinting on command, whatever.
SO much focus on the little dumb things nowadays. Infection gametypes is like the new MLG; there is so much emphasis on this [i]sideshow[/i]. Don't we want quality arena competitive slayer? Don't we want games where map control and team work are essential factors in matches? I swear since the release of Reach everything's been a one man show, encouraging people to give others the middle finger when asked to play cooperatively. Oh and sprint is one of the factors contributing to that.
Again, this game is (like Reach) always focusing on how to boost your ego. Reach wanted to make you feel special with all of your little perks and armor abilities to help you play "the way you want." Not to mention all of the emphasis on cool shiny customizeable armors. It's been catering to kids, I swear. Halo 2 had it perfectly fine with just being able to change colors and species. Halo 3 had a limited set which was alright; back then Bungie didn't need to focus so much on trivial things like different visuals to keep their community entertained. [i]*cough competitive play cough*[/i]
And can someone tell me where in the hell the flood is coming from? Clearly I missed something because last I heard Cortana told us the flood was wiped out. Not to mention they look completely retarded now.
/endrant
for now
Edit: [b]A lot of people seem to defend armor abilities in that if they had been implemented differently, and/or had tweaks to them, they would have been a much more positive addition to the series' multiplayer aspect. I'd like an idea of these "changes" people keep refuting. [i]Convince the skeptics![/i][/b]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shadow 2648[/quote] Lets try this again since you have no idea what logic is. [quote]MLG players whine and complain about everything[/quote]Generalizations called, they want to know when you are free for lunch. [quote]to the extent that they refuse to use the default playlist settings of any halo in tournament play.[/quote] Because default settings aren't optimal for competitive play. [quote]Mlg players are all divas.[/quote] Would love to see the scientific evidence here. [quote]The only reason they are good is because they hunt in well organised packs in specially designed playlists...[/quote] Nice logic... and by logic I mean stupidity. [quote]I would just as soon take information on a video games balance from my 6 year old cousin than from them.[/quote] Maybe he knows just about as much as you do; meaning none.

Lets try this again since you missed the first pitch MLG players whine and complain about everything to the extent that they refuse to use the default playlist settings of any halo in tournament play. Mlg players are all divas. The only reason they are good is because they hunt in well organised packs in specially designed playlists... I would just as soon take information on a video games balance from my 6 year old cousin than from them. But now you have dragged us of topic with your "professional" reference | Time to let this thread die. it was technically dead already till someone gave it a necro bumb.

Reach and Halo 4 have been derailing the franchise from it's genre's style of play (again, it's competitive).

As a former competitive Street Fighter player, I would watch videos of other players to learn their tactics, as well as learn possible new strategies.

It's good in theory, but not in practice. Gamer's have known this "diverse interaction" intention since day one. Sure there may be more ways to kill and die now in Reach (and then supposedly Halo 4) but that doesn't mean gameplay quality increased. In this case, it decreased. This is hard to debate in the competitive standards.

@Ben. They don't take too much skill out of each engagement like the ones in Halo: Reach did. They all have an even Advantage/Disadvantage ratio.

I could have done it in 5[/quote] No. No, you can not. And now this invalidates what you said above. [/quote] As i covered above you literary have negative knowledge about how the game plays. You have not played it and are going in with jumped to conclusion BS. I went in knowing nothing at comic con and had no such BS before playing it. You are just wrong. I know that that can be a hard thing to get someone to admit on the internet but i know your wrong and that's good enough for me. I promise that most true halo fans will take the word of someone that has played the game hands on than someone sitting behind a keyboard spouting imaginary nothings.
