I loaded up flood mode in custom games and much to my dismay, I could not seem to find the loadout options for the flood anywhere. I understand that we can't change their weapons, but why not the armor abilities? I want to set up my own flood classes, or even get rid of them all together. I don't even see an option to change player colors. I don't know, maybe I am just not looking close enough. For the time being, however, I am confused and annoyed. Thoughts or suggestions?
It's 343's way or the highway for now. Custom games in Halo 4 will be less custom than ever before it seems.
They realllllly ****ed up infection customization. No weapon choice AND no AA choice? ****ing seriously?
For now custom games, at least to me, is pointless, and forging without being able to set up a proper gametype for the zombie/minigame map, is also pointless. We'll have to just wait and pray that 343 will give us options sometime in the future.
I sense a flood of dominion maps, without playing if yet it looks to be my favorite gametype. Probally gonna be first thing I make, BTB dominion and objective map.
dafuq? For real? Wow. Well, then I guess I have to delay some of my projects until they fix that, because there ain't no Linear forging with the standard traits and weapons. [br][/br]Edited by merge: It's funny because they said the possibilities were endless and that there would be more to customize than ever before.
I hate 343 as of now. They completely ruined all the custom game options. It feels like they tacked on Forge at the last second. We need to let Microsoft and 343 know how unhappy the community is. We won't put up with this crap for Halo 5.
If there's one small bright side, gametypes and gametype options are the easiest thing for them to tweak and add via playlist updates. Just like in Reach, we may see a bunch of changes coming in this area over time. Have patience - we may yet get to customize infection (or play race, assault, etc...) in Halo 4.
The problem is though. We keep saying "We'll wait till they fix that.." But will they? I hope but i dont even think so. But im sure the community is going to punish them for that, they are going to complain badly, maybe even i will. But no AA,s customazation? if they dont fix that.. they have a big problem. Now EVERY. SINGLE. INFECTION map has to be compatible with that gametype. They have to fix this, they knew infection was popular, well what about we let them know forge and custom options were even more? (Including flood options) I wish i could make a stand, i hope people are going to do that. Because if they will, i will join them. I love the game, i really do. (CAMPAIGN!, SpOps, forge = ok, Multiplayer = Perfect) We need to do somenthing, we cant just sit here and complain now do we? [br][/br]Edited by merge: Thats indeed true. Maybe a bit patience wont hurt. Ill hope they listen, and the updates will arrive soon, VERY soon.
All right, 343i definitely has a lot to fix over the next couple daysweeksmonthsyears. This is plain stupid. WHY?
As much as I hate it too, I wouldn't be too upset right now and bash 343 for it. Even though I haven't yet played the game myself (which sucks btw), I've heard everyone saying that it's actually a great game. The campaign is said to be amazing, and the war games experience also seems awesome and much more Halo-ish than Reach ever was. It seems that 343 has much to learn, because we may now conclude that although they did a lot of things very well, they also screwed up some things such as Forge. Let's hope they'll get better as time progresses, and that they fix what needs to be fixed. I have faith in 343. After all, they didn't **** up Halo 4 completely. I would like to remind you that this is my way of looking at things and that I'm not rebuking you for your opinion in this matter. I'm just saying that 343 is doing the best they can and that they can prove to be a worthy successor of Bungie in the future.
Is there a way to modify traits for each team anymore? I used to use Infection with one life for one of my gametypes, but I don't think I can do that now.
I'm pretty sure you can have regular infected like in Reach by disabling ability usage in the flood traits menu. I also hid loadouts all together by going to general settings -> game loadouts -> change 'hide loadout' to hidden in all of them
No, that makes it creepy and awesome. In fact, they should let you press left stick to make the sound whenever you want (every 5 seconds or so, for no spamming.) so we can freak people out.
Its probably because there "realistic" flood, If flood can't hold a AR then not much chance of them been realistically able to use a jetpack/hologram.
