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.
Agreed
I stopped just before the weapon changes. I've been kind of meh about coming back.
The BR is finally what it should have been if that helps.
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?
It has gotten a lot better. I was playing CTF on Longbow today and it was so much fun.
Yes it was Jim, nice to see ya having 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.
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.
HAHA
BOps2 has more than 10 times that amount.
Agreed Lou, tho I have been having more fun recently with the BR fix in H4. this week ive tried BF3. not as good as BBC2 but a nice game to scream at while im recovering screaming at H4 lol
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.
