Halo 4 - Halo is Back

According  to Beyond Entertainment, Halo is back. I'm confused, it never left, for me. Anyway, BE thinks it's back and has made this nice promo video to elaborate why they think so.

well it never left for me either but I do agree the updates have slowly fixed some issues to make play closer to old and more enjoyable.

The BR is finally what it should have been if that helps.

Don't encourage him. Actually, it's okay if he comes back. He's nicer in the game than here, except he's kind of bossy. "How many hits?", "On who?", "Where is the bad guy?".

That's because you still don't know how to play the game, despite playing it continuously for years.  Obvious, uncalled call outs and one-shot opponents run rampant.

Well, at least we have that going for us.  Perhaps Reach being the beta for Halo 4 paid off.  Oops, I meant that Halo 4 is the beta for Halo 5.  I mean, you see how you can mix that up, right?

While the weapon changes are slight improvements, the game is still pretty bad. Definitely not something that will hook you, especially if you weren't hooked from the get go. Brb, have to pick up my third binary rifle ordnance drop in a row as I hold down flat rock on Valhalla because there's no real need to hold top-mid to win anymore.

It has gotten a lot better. I was playing CTF on Longbow today and it was so much fun.

The weapons (sans saw) seem very well balanced.  They all have a weakness, and rocking firepower makes even more sense now for me with the BR and DMR.  I could out slay guys with the BR vs DMR before, and now I can beat 2 guys with my BR consistantly. :)

 

The maps suck, that's no joke though.

The saw is ridiculous. I destroyed two ghosts without having to reload.

I'm just happy with BT skirmish, now if they would just get rid of the ordinance drops then I'd be happy and the abilities for that matter.

I would prefer the Infinity Slayer list actually let you play infinity slayer.

 

On that note if your going to weigh your playlists that heavily in Slayer Pro you might as well just call the playlist that.... and I'll go play BlopsII.

 

I for one like my jetpack and 3 grenade perks as well as the occasional ordinance drop.  I like the weapon buffs I just don't see why they can't fix one thing without breaking a bunch of others.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that says, honestly.  Is that saying that the developer is turning course on this title?  A return to the roots for the next title?  Giving people what they want?  I'm sure they've done some reasrch to back it up, but I've got no clue.  The only thing I can point to is the Halocharts site, with the playerbase holding steady at around a 35,000 user peak per day.

Well, that's a silver lining: we can't lose any more.

Agreed.  Slayer Pro is weighted way too much.  Also, forged maps seem to have displaced original maps.  Its a rarity to get Abandon or Solace as a choice, especially in Infinity Slayer mode.
