XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[putting in work]

Halo 4 was terrible and the worst out of the series... until I played 5.

But for the few games of 5 I played I thought it was better than 4.

The bloom and armor lock really made Reach suck to me.

Armor lock more so than bloom.

I now realize in every Halo since 3 that there is always some BS for bad players to escape being killed.

You get an enemy player down to one shot and...

Halo 3 > they throw out a bubble shield or that green smoke regen thing

Halo Reach > armor lock, sprint, that roll that the Dino's did

Halo 4 > sprint and other crap I don't remember



You know how they could make sprint work...

Make it so you can't sprint while being shot at and have to wait until you shield fully recharges until you can do so.

Also, if you die you have to wait like 5 seconds after spawning to be able to sprint because you can easily sprint back to a location and kill the person who just killed you because their shield is down.

Reach wasn't a bad game after all was said and done it's just that it was such a change from Halo 3 that most weren't ready for it, but I agree with Antidope Reach definitely still felt like Halo but H4 did not. It only had a Halo skin but wasn't Halo.

If I want my Halo fix I'll play MCC I was playing it today and the 10 or so games of Halo 3 that I played worked good.

Don't really care though because I'm not big on gaming for hours on end anymore and play casually.

Recently got into Destiny after having it for 2-3 months and it's not that bad I can pick up and play and do what I want and that's it. It does get repetitive, but if it isn't awarded game of the year I would be surprised. I think games like it, co-op, Destiny Borderlands will be the next big thing with all the leveling up and what not.

The PS2 gen was open world, GTA, Xbox360 it was FPS, and I think these FPS co-op leveling up games will be the next thing now... we'll see.

Halo 4 > Reach

 

[RustyShackleford]

I really think they should experiment with making sprint drain your shield, maybe even health, ala Crysis 2

It won't kill you to sprint, but if you take flight then you risk one shot taking you out.

-Maybe even lighten up the punishment for it in the campaign.

Crysis is cool

Halo 4 > Reach

You're entitled to your opinion.

Halo 4 wish it could have kept the population that Reach did.

Wasn't even two weeks and that game was done.

COD came out when Reach came out and Reach was still putting up numbers and had a big community still playing it up to 1-2 years after so I don't want to hear that crap that because of COD Halo couldn't do good.

Halo couldn't do good because it stopped being Halo.

Antidope is right they started catering to players that play the game for a little then go to what's the next hot thing. Your core fans that keep playing the game and stick with it way after release is what you want to go after because they will buy the DLC.

 

[Ricky D]

Majority of the people complaining about Halo 5 are still going to buy it

 

[The Glove]

reach wasnt that bad. i mean it wasnt good but yea

Halo 4 was just :x

thought about calling MS and see if they will refund my $60 for halo 4

reach with bloom and sprint was TRASH.

 

[shottadru]

Cod 4 changed the FPS game crazy, it def grabbed mad gamers

Reach came out an entire two months before COD that year. Halo 4 was like a week before

Reach had chance to hook some players, H4 didn't.

Plus Reach was knocked for being different than H1-H3 since Bungie and MS both made it clear that their intention was to make something slightly different

H4, since being a mainline game was knocked for that

In the multi, I guess it is a toss up between which of the two game which you prefer (or hate less). But for someone like me that loves Halo campaigns and co-op, when looking at the total package H4 is far and away the better game

 

[The Glove]

i legit played h4 for two days and never played it again. HALO is halo because with shields and no sprint you need real strategies and move methodically around the map. not this run n gun nonsense in reach/h4. gun skill was just one part of being a good player. timing weapons/powerups, team shooting, baiting and switching, actually having to think about if you should engage in a battle or turn your head and run instead of challenging enemies and sprinting away. you actually had to think about where you move and when you shoot.

 

[rod301]

loved cod this year.. still don't understand why they took demolition off man. :/

the campaign was so good until the ending man.. smh.

Exactly. They need to take away all this stupid sprinting, abilities, etc.

Just add the classic camo and over shield and im good.  I was done with Halo after H3. Bought Reach and hated that garbage.

Bought H4 when it was on sale for like $10 

 

[Warmachine85]

Best COD was 3 imo

The campaign was amazing for Cod AW. There was this one mission where you where you fell and you were by yourself in a building and you could literally hear every glass break when you would walk.

 

[iYen]

Best cod for me was cod2.

I can't find anymore games on there though.

 

[iYen]

Please come to consoles.

If you get the flashing screen you have to quit the build.

 

[oneilmatt]

I have to quit each time I start it up for the first time. Then its okay. Often though I get stuck in a lobby after a game and cannot leave so I have to quit it

 

[carver]

Finally worked after I quit.

Only played one game before I had to leave. Will have to play more. I suck badly btw

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The one I bought was at target.
