Halo 4

[Nathan]

Already edited and just linked to it. Didn't catch some of the F-bombs at first.

 

[Travesty]

I can't even get into a game. The servers are ****ed. It worked fine last night....

 

[Nathan]

Well, today everyone got their game. So server overload.

Some Halo 4 Players Facing Launch Day Server Woes

 

[Jesster32388]

Gaaaaah Maybe it's just because it's been a while, but legendary is pretty damn tough right form the get go. I am having a lot of fun though, visuals are insane.

Won't even touch Multi player till I finish campaign, which may be a while since I'm trying to finish Assassins Creed at the same time.

Damn my need for money! If not for that I could stay home and play all day / night.

 

[Matt Mortem]

The servers are crapping out right now. I can't connect to any of my friends to play MP. Thank God the campaign is so ****ing awesome to keep me busy!

 

[Nathan]

Alright, there are already a bunch of reviews, everyone knows the game is good, but here's Gametrailers' Review anyway.

 

[Travesty]

Well, maybe next time 343 will wise up and do a beta, so they can figure out their servers before launch.

 

[zenith16]

yeah they mention there was an embargo and that's both gt and EPD.TV/ROTR didn't put theirs up. which should have been a while ago. compared to gi's test chamber and giant bombs quick look which I guess are different things and are exempt from the embargo.

Though gt said since Friday night in IW they'd put it up yesterday. Any way it's up. As for beta's since a lot of studios have been not putting the best beta's out of late, especially if they are new studio's like 343 or the people that made the recent Deus Ex, I don't think they might do that. But then again you never know. but they are not turning out to be the best of late with that.

Beta or not servers usually aren't the greatest the first day

This.

Does anyone else feel depressed that O'Donnell's legendary and iconic score is missing from the game, especially the main menu?

Not bad enough to not be able to get in a game all day. The last time this happened, was during the Halo3 beta, which of course, was a beta.

Wrong. Battlefield 3 had the SAME issues and they ran a Beta. Sometimes ya just cant predict the amount of traffic you'll have.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Just started playing the game and holy s**t the game is GORGEOUS. Im blown away.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The Mantis is the coolest thing ever.

The game is gorgeous. The music ain't what it used to be though. Not bad just not... you know, cue the Halo theme.

Yea iv noticed the same. Its not bad by any means, but nothing has stood out the way the orig games score did.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Is the online gameplay better than Halo 3's?

 

[jacobed]

Yeah no Donnell music is a bit sad. I think the online is way better than Halo 3

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Loving this. Don't think I'll be getting back to ACIII for a while.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I am taking some time off from the game. Don't want too much of a good thing. It's one hell of a good game.

Good to hear, thanks.

 

[Travesty]

The sniper is incredibly easy to use. I think I prefer the DMR over the BR, and I find the stickies to be just about useless. In fact, all the nades are a little nerfed. I kinda wish they had more smaller based maps for 4v4. Anytime I go into a slayer game, I see only 3 maps pop up every time. Much more variation in BTB maps, but even the BTB maps seem big for 8v8.

I like the game for the most part, I just wish there were more maps. Seems more geared towards BTB, and there's only one BTB playlist.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

And the funny thing is, the BTB maps aren't even that big.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Good lord these new guys take too many rounds to kill. It's getting annoying having to put 2 full clips into each and every enemy

Yeah the Prometheans are ****ing annoying. They take way too much ammo and so far I can't find a decent strategy for killing them. The Elites can be killed quickly with plasma pistol and a headshot.
