>Cut the DMR and Plasma pistols and plasma nades out of loadouts

>Remove perks

>Change the Boltshot from being a shotgun

>Maybe have thee SMG or Plasma Rifle as secondaries

>Make The Lightrifle more like the BR and Carbine rather than the DMR

>Make Infinity ordinance teired and consistant so that you wont get power weapons until you have gotten 5 drops (In normal games you are lucky to get 4)

>Clasic Playsist for fucks sake

>Everyone starts out with the same Armor Ability (Other AAs Spawn on map like power weapons)

>Kill flinch with fire

>Toggle Sprint in gametype settings

>Weapon Tuning in gametype settings

>Execute the man who thought 5 shot BRs were a good idea

>No waypoints or randomization for Map ordinance. Instead have it visualy fall from the sky.Would make things interesting but not break map flow

>Bring back Reach's forge but with H4s new peices

>Bring back Custom Power Ups

>Ban Assasination Tower

>RNG Bungie's payroll

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Boltshot ruined CQC.

What was the point in picking up a Shotgun or Energy Sword when you can spawn with a 1-hit kill weapon?

Even more peculiar, why was it's pre-patch range longer than the UNSC shotgun? I understand 343 wanted to have a unique weapon for the forerunner secondary and a Shotgun pistol sounds good on paper but in practice it's not a good thing at all.

Halo CE is the only Halo game that does the Shotgun right.

MCC addresses 2 of those, so at least I can tolerate it now.

If it hadn't been Halo 4? Yeah, I agree.

Maybe Halo 4 was destined to be terrible.

A fixed point in space and time.

Why is this so black?
It's either change or do the same thing every game and become stale and repetitive like Call Of Duty has. Albeit 343's changes weren't the best.

It doesn't have to change drastically every release.  It's a niche arena shooter changing it to a class shooter was retarded.

Now you're talking. Why did the sound design for the shotgun also never reach the heights of CE? Same with the AR? Or the pistol? Or the fuel rod? Or the plasma rifle?

Erm

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Why have we not had a weapon like the Halo CE Plasma Rifle in any game after that?
Why is the Halo 4 Sniper Rifle so silly looking?
Why could they never get the Flamethrower to be good outside of Halo PC?
Why did they keep limiting Frag count when grenade spam is as sensible a concept as bullet spam?
Why did Sword fighting mechanics have to suck shit after the Halo 3 melee system was dropped?
Why was the Halo 3 melee system dropped?
Why are there warning/hazard stickers on random places of the armor in Halo Reach?

Make it like H2A.

H2A has really surprised me. I didn't think I would like it, but I really love it. Its my 2nd favorite game on MCC.

Was Sword Base an elaborate joke?

Why did nobody ever fix the shit playlist of Living Dead?
What happened to that Haunted house map Bungie said they would put in that playlist, but never did?
What asshole designed Zealot?
Is my Halo 4 copy different from 90% of peoples', because they say that the BR doesn't sound like a BB gun?
Why does Gravity hammer in 4 sound like dubstep?
Did you mean GRD?
Why did 343i get rid of Squad Slayer and replace it with Super Slayer, which literally nobody asked for?
Why is this continuing?

Did they ever put in friendly fire in matchmaking? I thought that was pretty bad, because suddenly teammates could and would ignore each other, block each other's shots, unnecessarily steal kills, and the like... and it made for a less personal experience.

Halo should never, ever feel impersonal.

MCC addresses 2 of those, so at least I can tolerate it now.

The OP already fixed the custom load out issue
I wouldn't consider nerfing a few guns or removing them as options "fixed".  And I wouldn't see what the point of keeping custom loadouts would be if you took out custom armor abilities, and made a lot of the weapons less niche.

It'd be better to promote even starts, than letting the gameplay be so inconsistent and plagued with things like plasma pistol + sticky grenade spawns, perks, and other detriments.

I agree. Halo 4's multiplayer was complete garbage.

Hey, Halo games after CE haven't really addressed the third point so...

[And yes AC I did indeed mean that entire GRD fiasco. What the hell was that all about again?]
