What they don't want you to know about Halo.

I think Halo is a fun balanced MP FPS, Imo the SP is pretty mediocre, I do give it props for the coop aspect. However Halo is treated as God's gift to gaming by 360 fans and in reality it's no better then Cod's, KZ's, Socom's, TF2's, Battlefields etc etc. It really isn't.Major Problems with Halo.1. Horrible Level/Map design. Most maps in Halo just plain suck, Bungie really isn't skilled in this department, KZ2 has glorious maps, Cod4 has amazing maps, Halo does not. Most of them suck and the community reflects this when it comes to vetoing, most people dig The Pit, Guardian and Narrows and that's pretty much it.2. Horrible Guns. Halo's weapons are soooo bad. The BR owns, one of the best guns on consoles for MP FPS, but everything else sucks, and power weapons don't count, they exist to spawn be used and thrown away. Halo has a major problem with having various good weapons that people like to use, many other games do this MUCH better, where people like using many guns which are all balanced. Even the much hated MW2 has tons of guns that people use as their main gun.3. Locked Out Playlists. They slow and steadily have thrown out payed map packs that have in turned made them lock out playlists that were originally available to Halo 3 owners. Today it's ridiculous the small amount of playlists you can play without having to give in to being nickle and dimed. Create NEW playlists bungie, don't screw over your existing customers...4. Buggy Netcode. Sometimes it feels like it takes 10 BR shots to the face to kill someone, and sometimes you feel like you got 1 shoted by the BR online... Even with full green bars...5. Drop Outs and an Awful Community. Someone drops fomr your match and your screwed, noone will replace them, you simply screwed. Not sure if it's worse losing a player or being stuck with a pre tween MLG screaching pro...

[QUOTE="Acemaster27"]I agree about the maps. Halo needs to bring back sidewinder. Then maybe I'd buy and xbox.Acemaster27

Sidewinder is in Halo 3:

Well, it's a remake.

I guess that's it then. I'll buy an xbox.

And you know that someone will remake sidewinder for Halo:Reach.

bad guns? you sure you're using them right? because the grunt pistol wasn't designed to kill people on its own. and a skilled marksman can cut a BR spree in 1 shot, needler is for narrow areas that allows little room to straif, grunt pistol is to take shields down (like all plasma weapons) spikers, SMGs, plasma rifles, are for duel wielding(each gun also has its diffrences such as SMG's shorter range and PR's more damage to shields than unshielded), AR is the noob tube, BR, Sniper, beam rifle, and Pistol are for headshots (though aiming for the head is always needed) shotgun and mauler are for close range. what about them is horrible? thay're extremely skill dependent and very well balanced. they sound good and feel good to shoot. and BTW Halo has some great maps, high ground, Valhalla, gaurdian, sandbox, an narrows just to name a few.

The map design is considered to be some of the best in the industry, the guns are continuously balanced, the maps eventually become free (though if you enjoy the game enough to be bothered by the 'lockout', odds are you wouldn't mind buying them earlier), the netcode is comparable if not superior to industry standards, and the community is no more problematic than any of the other games you mention. So yeah... opinions are best suited for blogs. There is nothing here to discuss but how off kilter your opinions are from the consensus.
