Why was Halo 4 bad?
I enjoyed halo 4 almost as much as halo 3, I figure there's no where better to go for a good answer than here.
-
I miss the custom games from halo 3.
-
2 RepliesYet it was still better than halo 3.

Edited by MehdinX: 10/27/2014 1:29:20 PMIt was bad for two reasons. It was too much different than the other halo games as it seemed to play more like call of duty with the sprinting/instant respawns. The second reason is because black ops 2 (best recent cod) came out a week later.

[quote]I enjoyed halo 4 almost as much as halo 3, I figure there's no where better to go for a good answer than here.[/quote] Short campaign, repetitive fights, bad story akin to a mediocre fanfic

Haven't played in awhile but I want to again. IMO it just didn't feel like halo. It's not bad just different.
-
It was call of duty in disguise. Hardly felt like halo. I'm talking about multiplayer though.

Edited by THUNDERCHILD: 10/27/2014 12:04:40 AMImo H4 is great. Lots of game types (I like grifball:). I haven't played in a while but when I did they did an awesome job of switching up extra game types like races, heavy ect. to keep things from getting too stagnant. Last year's 343 day was fun, when you killed a guy he'd explode like a party popper complete with confetti and raucous cheers.
-
The story mode was good IMO, but it didn't capture the magic that the first three did for me. Also a horrible population and a restricted and confusing "custom" games at launch are to blame. I mean really, when people are modding the game with third party tools to implement something so simple such as no sprint, that's a problem.

Halo 4 had a great campaign but everything else was kind of a let down Seriously Firefight>Spartan Ops Any other Halo Multiplayer > Halo 4 multiplayer
-
Campaign was decent. The meat of the game was a disaster: a competitive multiplayer that supports gamers with no thumbs. It was like Reach, but with half the customization options and things to do.

85 RepliesEdited by WILLtheKILLA5: 10/25/2014 12:10:15 AMHalo 4 is a terrible Halo game. Awful new characters Covenant had designs that looked terrible Snooze fest of a story Downgraded Forge Downgraded Theater Downgraded Customs Famous Gametypes taken out for crappy new ones. Then one that was ok was taken out for way to long. Ordnance drops a.k.a kill streaks Custom classes ruin the multiplayer Spartan Ops was a poor replacement for fire fight. Spartan Ops was so shallow Spartan ops could only be played online while firefight was both online and offline Ugly armor It was a joke of a Halo game Now for a statement that will enrage people. [spoiler]I got more enjoyment out of Destiny then Halo 4[/spoiler]

2 RepliesThe campaign, while enjoyable the first time through and fairly well written, gave me no desire to replay any of it. In contrast, I could play at least some of any other halo campaign for hours on end. Forge had a few new features, but key parts of reach's forge such as precision editing, interesting places to forge, and a working save system makes it an overall downgrade. The custom games options were a shadow of what was in reach and the file share system was broken for months. Spartan ops was okay, but firefight was better. The multiplayer took what people hated about reach and added more of it. The new enemies were touted as something new that required strategy to take down, but in the end were nothing but bullet sponges. The new weapons were unnecessary and just served to emphasize the uselessness of the covenant weapons. Loadouts felt very un-halo and ruined any aspects of arena shootering left in halo. The music just didn't sound right. The only good maps were remakes/spiritual successors. The armor looked stupid.
-
For me it was 343's apparent failure to understand what made Halo special. I like to make the comparison between 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact.
-
It was a bad Halo game. That's why.
-
2 RepliesIt wasn't bad, it just wasn't [i]Halo[/i]. The MP was way too different for me, but overall I liked it and thought the campaign was good.
-
47 RepliesIt's story went the opposite direction of the lore and all the characters were in a sense out of character If came out in that awkward stage were every shooter wanted to be COD so the mp was trash as well Basically a shiny turd

1 ReplyI wasn't a fan of the story (wish I liked it though). Multiplayer needed a lot of work, I get that it was their first game, but they had like four or five good examples to use. In my opinion, 343 is trying too hard to make Halo their own. To me it really feels like "Halo inspired by Halo" or "Let's make a game like Halo, but try to avoid copyright infringement." Again, these are just my opinions, and I gladly recognize that I'm in the minority when it comes to this debate.
-
The story was shit. The multiplayer was shit. Forge was shit. Custom games was shit. Sparton ops was ok, but not nearly as valuable as firefight, and took too much time to make.
-
It's not, noobs didn't want to adapt ;^)
-
Cuz it's a fan fic at best
-
I honestly can't point to anything specific, but I played 4 for maybe 5 or 6 hours tops. I just didn't feel engaged by it. I loved Halo 3, played the hell out of it. I even liked Reach (sorry), but I didn't feel engaged by 4. PS: I didn't like the abilities in Reach, but I still had fun with the multiplayer. The story got me because you knew what was going to happen in the end, but you still fought. Maybe it's just my personality.
-
I played it about as much as 3

2 RepliesEdited by Legend To None: 10/25/2014 4:20:29 PMHalo 3 was more active. Halo 4 was just "Go play this game and shut up while we work on another game!"-343 "Your bored? Here go play with this..leave us alone now"-343 Halo 3- "Hey guys check out this new game type we can play all weekend!" "Try to beat our vid master challenges! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" "Alright, beat a BUNGIE employee for a rare helmet!" "BUNGIE DAY! FLAMING SKULLS EVERYWHERE!" "FREE MAP COLD STORAGE!" "GET ODST AND ALL MAPS FOR FREE!"
