Did you like Halo 4?

Opps wrong thread. Sorry
better than Reach. It had at least one playable map in the box, Haven. Plus the BR was back, and no Armor Lock. There were things I didn't like, like the promethean weapons and really the campaign was not my favorite. Reach's campaign was much better, but I really only play that a couple times - my main thing is MP.
I see. I'm primarily a campaign guy, and after playing Halo 4 again with the MCC... Well, it's just fucking horrible. Completely soured me on the rest of the experience.
The Boltshot is the "armor lock" of Halo 4. Hoping it's left out of Guardians.

I've enjoyed all the Halo game but I'm fairly sure the series is doomed (or at least will never see its former glory). No matter how hard they push it MCC will not last either just like Halo 4. This is why they are having the Halo 5 beta so early so they can try and figure out what people want and give it to them.
The series is far from "doomed" but yeah i doubt it will ever be the Juggernaut it once was, but it will still be a huge selling exclusive for MS. Halo :MCC when they actually get it working will not drop off like Halo 4 did.
I still can't believe that they thought that spawning with a quick timed single shot kill weapon was a good idea. Thing had ridiculous range at launch.
Also, no descope meant every game, too many people were using nothing but the DMR all the time. Just so boring.

Thanks for the bump, really interesting post. I really hope 343 learned from Halo 4. But we'll see.

If I recall correctly Reach had a similar drop to this.

Maybe. But still, Reach had 900k players a year after if launched, while Halo 4 only had 20k.

There isn't any comparable data. 3 and Reach reported total users per 24 hours to Bungie.net. 4 only ever reported present concurrent users, which people tracked a lot more closely. It's apples and oranges. Reach maintained good numbers throughout its lifespan, comparable to 3.
Also, to all the people who want to be rid of the Halo fans critical of 5, this is what "growing" the franchise looks like:

Loadouts were a problem, ordinance was a problem, maps weren't great, armor abilities (yikes), redundant weapons, and vehicle use was ruined in BTB (see loadouts above).
Terrible coloration was another problem, browns and pastel colors. Light Blue VS PINK. AI want my green grass my purple covenant shit and my colorful Spartans. Forge community wasn't strong. Customs were non existent.
On the bright side, they have made a lot of decisions in Halo 5 that acknowledge pretty much every issue I brought up. I applaud 343 for having the humility to change course in many ways. Let Halo be Halo.

Dislike of H4 caused you to sell your dolls? And H4 campaign was cool. Multiplayer was terrible (terrible compared to H2.)

This... this is some bull. Traviss is awful. A competent author with very little respect for the settings she inhabits and next to no sense of nuance.

Glad you got that out of your system before the system gets you out of it. And it must have been hilarious watching you in a fit of rage while you were posting your Halo figures on ebay. "Look what you're making me do, 343! This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"
really? - Maybe I'll fire up the master chief collection and continue my play-through of the series.
So was Master Chief at the end of 3. afaik

OP don't jump! You have more to live for!
On second thought, I think someone down there said he really needed some Halo figurines.
