Why isnt Halo 4 as fun as Reach?

Im one of the minority who actually thought, From an MP standpoint mind you, That Halo Reach was a great game, I adored it in fact, Much better than Halo 3's -blam!- MP (Again, I know thats not an opinion shared by most of you, But anyway) Halo 4 just doesnt hold my attention as much, Dont get me wrong its a great game but it just lacks... I dont know, While playing it I just feel like its not something I can do for a long period of time any more, Reach was far more fun and exciting and just generally entertaining. What the hell is Halo 4 missing?

  • Reach was bad in a way that could make people angry. Halo 4 was bad in a way that bored the crap out of people.

  • I wholeheartedly agree. It may be the lack of gametypes, huge changes to Infection, and the shoddy File Share.

For starters, the firefight map proved not to change gameplay in any significant way, and a multiplayer map would be more appreciated. Highlands, while looking really cool, suffered from poor weapon layout and rarity in matchmaking to the point I cannot remember one good objective game I had on it (but quite a few bad ones). Condemned was an alright map, but in no way a game-defining map that has any chance of being remade in the future. Not to mention this was the first Halo map pack since Heroic not to add anything for Forge users, which was immensely disappointing (only worse because Tempest had not satiated anyone's appetite). Truly, Certain Affinity had no idea what people were looking for, and I worry, may still have no idea as more Halo 4 map packs are released.

  • Multiplayer wise: Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo Reach My opinion, anyway.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos [quote][b]Posted by:[/b]Dreadnough7 I went to a Civilization forum, and the community by a large margin, disliked Civ 5 and prefered 4. Later I found a thread in the Bethesda forums with people arguing how Oblivion was much better than Skyrim, same with Battlefield. This is a wide phenomenon not exclusive to the Halo franchise.[/quote]It's not a phenomenon. That's just common sense.[/quote] Are you implying that those sequels are objectively worse than the earlier games? Anyway, the thing all those threads had in common, is that all of them were variations of the "This game is dumbed down/more streamlined/caters to casuals".

[/quote]I'm not going to argue anecdotes with you. I will say that I would be surprised if it wasn't the worst selling Halo map pack since Heroic. Even people who played Reach throughout its lifespan could easily avoid purchasing it. Just for you, I'm going to look it up. Mythic II sales and Anniversary Pack sales don't count because a majority simply bought the games that came with them.
