My faith had been restored.

I don't like these changes.

Above, is the link leading you to what will be Halo 4 multiplayer's changes when the title update comes out Monday. These changes will change the game as we know it. They are just weapon tweaking, but they are still huge. See 'yall June 3rd. Starting Monday, June 3rd, the following updates will be applied to Halo 4 War Games Matchmaking: [quote]Battle Rifle The Battle Rifle damage has been increased. The Battle Rifle is now capable of killing in four bursts. The Battle Rifle rate of fire has been slightly decreased. The Battle Rifle red reticle range (range at which auto-aim benefits kick in) has been decreased. Two bursts from a Battle Rifle followed by a melee will now kill an opponent (2-shot melee).[/quote] [quote]Carbine The Carbine damage has been increased. The Carbine is now capable of killing in seven rounds. The Carbine accuracy has been increased (projectile spread decrease). The Carbine red reticle range has been decreased.[/quote] [quote]LightRifle The LightRifle zoomed rate of fire has been increased. The LightRifle un-zoomed rate of fire has been slightly decreased. The LightRifle red reticle range has been increased to match the updated DMR range.[/quote] [quote]DMR The DMR red reticle range has been slightly decreased.[/quote] [quote]Assault Rifle The Assault Rifle damage has been slightly increased. The Assault Rifle now kills in three less rounds. The Assault Rifle auto-aim angle has been reduced. The Assault Rifle projectile spread has been decreased.[/quote] [quote]Storm Rifle The Storm Rifle damage has been increased. The Storm Rifle now kills in three less rounds. The Storm Rifle auto-aim angle has been reduced. The Storm Rifle projectile spread has been decreased.[/quote] [quote]Suppressor The Suppressor damage has been increased. The Suppressor now kills in three less rounds. The Suppressor auto-aim angle has been reduced. The Suppressor projectile spread has been decreased.[/quote] [quote]SAW The damage has been increased to maintain double the damage-per-second of the Assault Rifle.[/quote] [quote]Magnum The damage has been slightly increased. The Magnum is still capable of killing in six rounds.[/quote] [quote]Vehicles The damage has been increased on both the Mantis and Warthog Chain Gun.[/quote] [b]Lastly, base player movement speed has been increased from 100% to 110% across all playlists and modes.[/b] All of these balance tweaks will be released this coming Monday in order to provide a more fast-paced, optimized matchmaking experience, and all of Halo 4’s applicable Matchmaking game types will be affected by this change. Team Snipers, Grifball, and Action Sack’s Rock N’ Rail will not see any changes, however, as the weapons in these game types are not affected. Some game types (such as Action Sack’s Lightning Flag), will not receive the change due to the preferred pace and balance in the current tuning. Moving forward, select game types in the Action Sack playlist may use alternate weapon tuning, and we will be sure to provide information on these game types when the time comes.

  • I never had problems with any of the weapons in the game (aside from many being redundant and bland). This game really needed to focus on diversifying gametypes. For example: a lot of the maps are asymmetric, yet there are no asymmetric gametypes to go along with them. Game just got boring after awhile since there wasn't a vast difference on what you could play.

        • Until they put weapons on the map I still feel that Halo 4 is a lazy job compared to the rest of the series. However I heard they were rushed to selling this game but if they do the same thing next time I will not buy halo 5 thats for sure. Weapons on the maps are one of the major differences between halo and COD.

              As long as they refuse to remove care packages, AAs, loadouts and keep BTB slayer only. Halo 4 will still play like shit.

                biased thread what if you already enjoy the game? also, >all these -blam!- saying its a good game all the sudden It's funny that you guys never play the game and hop on the "Halo 4 sucks" bandwagon and then when a title update is in the works you guys say Halo 4 will be a good game, even a masterpiece, and yet you haven't played the title update!

                  • I sold Halo 4 to get Bioshock Infinite and it was totally worth it. I may buy it back soon though.

                      • Have you read that poem about a lady who swallows a fly, who swallows a spider, who swallows a bird, cat, dog and on and on and on? This is what I think of whenever 343i announces changes to the game.

                        • They will help. But they wont help this game. Honestly, Im just looking at Halo 4 as a halo 5 beta.

                              That's nice and all but I really don't have many problems with the sandbox, they really should be focusing on the gametypes. Halo 4's main problem is that there is little variety in game modes and a lot of the modes they currently have are pretty bad. Seriously, they make nearly every map asymmetrical but take away all one-sided gametypes.

                              • I actually like the sound of most of these changes. Only thing I wish they did was make the Magnum a 5SK, or alternatively increase its magazine capacity to 10, or both.

                                    At this point I honestly don't know if this will help balance the game or not. But why did they say "auto-aim" instead of "aim-assist"?
