I'm still maintaining that a progression system of unlock is not a valid replacement for engaging gameplay and story. if you feel the need to force your customers to play your game through such tactics by waving a carrot further down the road then you are doing something wrong. The game should be able to stand on it's own because it is enjoyable, and having your playerbase staying only because they feel ''invested'' after going through the heavens forsaken progression system is not a good thing at all. Make a fun game and people will play it, make a half decent game and put on a progression unlock system and people won't play it once they realize that they are actually not having fun, they are just being distracted.

oh my god you people just need to stop

Everyone who says that Halo 4 hasn't copied any CoD elements is ... blind? a fanboy? Whatever. Of course things like loadouts, hit markers, sprint, grenade markers, perks and so on haven't been invented by CoD. But would they have been implemented in Halo 4 if CoD was as successfull as let's say.. Brink? No, definitely not. So: all this stuff has been copied from CoD.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BadGuyJames [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ArtooFeva Hahaha oh yes adding guns to the game is copying COD. Oh the whiners and their lack of good arguments.[/quote] So you're saying that every game with guns in it, People think its a cod copy.... Loadouts Kill cams stupid rank systems Weapons like saw.[/quote] This. I play Halo to play Halo. I don't want to play CoD: Space Warfare.

Halo 4 is like Reach, but magnified, and still didn't fix where Reach failed.

Gotta blame the halo community for this one lol...

I like it. Then again I am not some whiny, over grown neckbeard who thinks that the Halo universe should cater to exactly what I think a Halo game should be. You idiots think your complaints are original, or profound? You are just another wave of haters in a never ending cycle of sequels. You put Halo2 on a pedestal? Well there was a whole bunch of whiners who hated Halo2, in fact made a website called halo2sucks.com. You say Halo3 is the best one ever? Well there was a devoted posse of rabid geeks who hated it, and said it was dumbed down from Halo2. And we all know what happened with Reach. I really am embarrassed to be a gamer sometimes, you people are really the scummiest of all fan boys.

I'm not surprised. Happy to be part of the 76%.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Toxifies That's what you get when you take an Arena shooter who has had the same core gameplay for 3 games, and you add silly variables that change the complete fairness and equality out of the game that made it what it was in the first place. Reach was Bungie's "different" Halo game. Halo 4 should have been a sequel to H3 not Reach. If Bungie was in charge of Halo 4 they would have gone back to the Halo 1,2, and 3 type gameplay because they know that Reach was their spinoff.[/quote]

Complainers are going to complain. The game couldn't stay the same forever, what do you guys expect? I don't really care about the population numbers, it's still a dam lot of people playing. If you're are going to go around and sprout Halo 4's population dying, than you are probably taking gaming way to seriously. I enjoy Halo 4, it's a good game. I know majority of Bungie hate this game, but that's okay because majority of the world think Reach is -blam!- and halo 4 is better. This forum is just biased.

Why is this thread still here?

EDIT: [b]3.December.2012 -[/b] The numbers seem to have increased after the DLC announcements, but they are still falling. [/quote] I'm going to throw this out there and say the population jump starting November 30th was caused by it simply being the weekend in the Western Hemisphere. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all had increased populations. I seriously doubt a DLC announcement would cause such a spike in increase of players.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bigemaster Same thing happend to reach, so you can just as much say thanks bungie for not listening to the community.[/quote] Yeah, you're gonna weight Halo: Reach vs Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. You are a clever person.

I just don't get it. 343i is damned if they do, damned if they don't. There are problems with the game, that much is clear, but it's not bad. Too different from other Halo's and it loses the "Halo feel". Too similar and it's not innovative, or not keeping up with the times. Face it, this isn't 2004 or 2007, Halo 2 and 3 aren't coming back, no matter how bad any of us want it. In actuality, the market is just saturated with FPS anymore. Nothing is really going to change with any of the major franchises that will pull fans of one series over to another. The vast majority of gamers have already made up their mind on whether they're primarily Halo, CoD or Battlefield players. The mere fact that people are complaining about Halo 4 shows that the game is worthy of merit. If it wasn't worthy of some merit, the game would be unremarkable and not worth discussing. I will concede that 343i has showed their hands early in what appears to be some desperation. Maps are coming out earlier than originally anticipated...first map pack was to coincide with the first TU and ranking system in Q1 2013. That, and the fact that XBL users got their free gift of a marketplace code to unlock all the Spartan specializations early, which up until the weekend, had only been available to the players who bought the LE.

Not surprised. Once people realize the game sucks they stop playing.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wikked Navajoe Cool, but it's still over a hundred thousand. That is still high.[/quote] I remember a couple of months ago Black Ops had over 200,000 mate. I don't like Black Ops, but Halo 4 has been out a month and lost to a -blam!- game that's been out two years. /Thread

I'm not even interested in multiplayer any longer, I just log on to play Spartan Ops since I'm interested in the story. Same for Halo 4 itself. Didn't like how the multiplayer was looking, so I set my expectations low. I'll still get Halo 5 I think, but just for the campaign/story.
