First of all, yes this has happened to me. In EVERY competitive shooter I've played. Ever. So you're saying if you're hurt, you should stand your ground and die honorably? Are we in feudal Japan? If you die fighting and lose the game, will people sing songs and write epic poems about your honor, devotion, and grand intention? Nope. The idea is to score as many kills for your team as you can, while preventing the other team from getting as many kills as possible. If you're hurt you GTFO, and I'm POSITIVE you've done so once or twice. Now your assertion that H4 "rewards" getting out of the line of fire, as figurative as it is, is fundamentally flawed. Unless you get awesome bonus kill points for hiding behind a corner when low on health, the game doesn't "reward" you at all. The only "reward" you get is possibly a better K/D ratio and the opportunity to trap your attacker. If the entirety of your strategy is "point. click. ???. Profit." then of course you're going to have trouble with players who are aware enough of the situation to escape your line of fire. Rather than complain about how easy it is to run away ( and it's only marginally easier now than in previous games, given the sandbox options available ), why not step up your game and figure out how to exploit this kind of behavior to your advantage?

When was Halo 4 Bungie's doing? It was 343's project to be fair you could post this on 343 site or summin but anyway in reach people used sprint to run away so why is it a problem in halo 4 as for the tunnels in maps with vehicles you know people (probably you included) would complain about always getting killed and having no cover

we should hate on reach not Halo 4 if the loadouts is the problem then we should blame it on reach

People run away turn around and throw grenades, that's called tactics not being a coward. Knowing when to stand and fight is pretty dam important. Also I remember using a hard light shield to defend myself from 2 AR user's and having my team mates come up behind them to kill them and I survived. Again it's called tactic's and you use them to win, although camping with the Boltshot on Lockout remake is just cheap.

The problem is it had to follow that awful game Reach.

[quote]The game rewards being a coward.[/quote] The biggest overarching problem is the community. H4 is a flawed game. Reach was a flawed Halo game. H3 was a flawed Halo game. H2 was a flawed Halo game. Even CE was a flawed Halo game. Every Halo game to date has been a flawed game in some form or capacity. Hell, H5 will be a flawed Halo game. But the fact that the community failed to realize this simple truth, expecting perfection and of course having it dashed and equating H4 to being a dead game, while being 4th on the activity charts, or to being the worst game ever made, while completely ignoring what constitutes a game being horrible, is ridiculous. That's the biggest problem with not only H4 but the franchise as a whole. And before you start: Yes H4 does have objective, fixable problems.

I felt the opposite way about one of the community's most beloved maps; Blood Gulch is horrifically overrated because of how unbalanced it is for infantry. Valhalla is a far superior take on the design, and dare I say even Exile may be a better map.

I haven't encountered this. You can run, but if you do you better start running as soon as that first shot hits or you'll go down. And as Bandikoot said, 'nades will kill a sheild.
