Okay, so before you read anything else, if you're a hardcore Halo fanatic, you should probably leave, cause I'm going to say stuff that'll piss you off. If you are a Halo fanatic and decide to read ahead anyways, please recognize that this is my OPINION nothing more than an OPINION.
Are you gone?
Good!
Ever since its release, Halo 4 has gotten quite a lot of hate from the community, which I can't imagine why. The game looks amazing, it has a beautiful soundtrack, great gameplay and a fun campaign. Yes there are problems with it (i,e no playable elites, no campaign theatre, etc.) but that doesn't make it a bad game. I've spent hundreds of hours playing with my friends in creative custom games and competitive matchmaking, it's the only game I really play multiplayer in besides Battlefield.
So tell me, why does everyone hate on it so much?
[spoiler]Any hate comments or whatever will get a reply from me saying OPINION[/spoiler]
[spoiler]YOU HAVE BEEN WAAAAAARNED[/spoiler]
Edit 1: Wow, lots of replies, and such mixed feelings about it. "It's amazing" or "it's the worst Halo ever" it did this wrong, it did that right, all sorts of stuff.
I do like that there are some sensible people in the comments who actually know what they're talking about, and not just hating on H4 because everyone else is.

It was 343's first Halo game, and I think they did a good job. I think that with Halo 5 they have fixed their mistakes. It is very competitive and very cool. I like how it looks and plays. (I did play Halo5's Beta.)
-
The covenant didn't speak English so they weren't as entertaining to fight
-
And the custom games aren't that good.
-
It doesn't look that amazing, first off.
-
It's bad because they tried to change too much the drops you'd get in multiplayer were stupid and all the armor ability a were stupid. Plus the build your own load outs was a stupid idea. Granted aside from the multiplayer I liked the game Spartan ops and the campaign was fun
-
5 AntwortenI like it. Halo wars was the worst, halo 4 was a solid 7.584.
-
I think Halo Wars is the worst Halo game but that's just me. I enjoyed CE-Halo 4...
-
Why do some people put simple shit in a spoiler tag? It makes you look f*cking retarded. That being said, I enjoyed H4 but overall the story itself was just...meh.

2 AntwortenI am a Halo fanatic, Halo is my gaming life, but Halo 4 did suck as a Halo game in some aspects. I thought the story was great, I liked how Chief actually talked and showed that he is human. The armor is questionable, and some of the weapons look stupid but other than that the game is gorgeous. Now multiplayer is a mess, it's a mix between CoD and Halo which isn't entirely bad but it is at the same time, newer players can easily pick it up and have fun with it but vets can feel the dramatic change and to me it feels awkward to play Halo like I play CoD. Spartan Ops is fun and I like it but why do I need Xbox Live to play it?
-
Halo games go through these phases. Look at ODST for example, was really hated at the time. Now a great deal of people like it.
-
Because people tear good things apart. Being a story lover, I think Halo 4 was great. I cried when Cortana died, and cannot wait for Halo 5
-
Because halo 5 hasn't come out yet

Bearbeitet von Ostensibly: 6/14/2015 6:04:09 PMIt was the multiplayer for me. Campaign was great. Spartan Ops was ok. Seems like they're about to fix the MP issues, but we'll see. In terms of story, I'm happy they're incorporating the EU. It aggravates a lot of people, but it's a shame that a lot of Halo fans have no idea how far it goes.

People hated it cause it was different I for one absolutely loved it, my favourite online halo experience

8 AntwortenBearbeitet von Eirikur: 6/11/2015 5:28:05 PMStory was poorly implemented in the game, 343i is good at story telling, not so good at level design. It looked pretty but that's about it. Didact, worst boss fight in gaming, quick time events ftw am I rite? Prometheans, not so fun to fight. They had no weaknesses like Elites to Plasma weapons and Grunts to headshotting. They were just super agile bullet sponges teleporting around like crazy. Note, I played the game on Legendary, probably why they felt like that. The story was understandable if you've kept up with outside media like books and comics, if you hadn't tough luck, you ain't understanding the story. As for the multiplayer, there was a lot of wrong with this one. Armor Abilities. Custom Loadouts. Unbalanced weapons, mostly promethean weapons. No proper ranking system from the start. Forgettable maps. Flagnum, FLAGNUM. Auto pickup objectives. Barely any custom games options. Dumbed down Forge compared to Halo Reach. That's what I think of right now. Pretty sure all those are valid reasons to why the game was pretty shit. I guess you have your opinion because of your low standards. Did you play any other Halo games?
-
I didn't really like the multiplayer because it kinda felt like cod because you can sprint and even change your load out instead having to find guns on the map.
-
Spartan assault is the worst halo. Halo 4 is the second worst
-
Bearbeitet von ducksToDucks: 6/14/2015 1:46:55 PMIn my opinion, Forge sucks Infection and therefore custom games were ruined All the maps suck Don't really like the new guns I didn't finish the campaign cause I didn't enjoy it, but many say it broke canon a lot
-
Well why did they do the whole "main character is gonna die" thing?
-
4 AntwortenHalo 4 was amazing! Awesome story. Awesome campaign. And fun to play with friends! But the forge mode lacked. It had good systems but it needed forge world. Not some barren area and small maps. And the multiplayer didn't click. It didn't have that competitive balance and it didn't give you much reason to level up. Best way to motivate multiplayer? Bring back the credit system.
-
1 Antworten4 was fairly good, I liked being able to sprint, favorite was reach does
-
2 AntwortenIn many ways, I'd actually say that Reach was easily the worst.
-
Lol I'm gonna get hate but I thought it was the best halo of them all. The story was predicted to go where it did back in halo2 days, fans should know this if they read the books. I think the halo franchise is slowly dying because of the over saturation of unnecessary side stories but 4 was great, the MP was great, I thought it was very balanced (use this gamer tag to check out my K/D) and where it is now as far as lore goes is the entrance into the Goldman era of humanity. And your Spartan can dash!!! -blam!-ing dash!!! Every -blam!-ing halo was a -blam!-ing diarrhea jog fest until 343i said " we *runnin the show now"! Reach had jog, as a power up? Halo 4 is what every halo should have been after #2... Imo O_o
-
4 AntwortenWait until the E3 reveal of Halo 5: The forecast calls for disappointment!
-
The story was great imo. But the MP was so horribly unbalanced, it felt like CoD with shields.
-
1. Custom game and Forge was absolute trash compared to reach 2. Multiplayer started what many games are doing... Turning into cod with load outs and generally bad multiplayer
