Man, that guy is annoying as hell, Plus he used a weapon for literally one turn and ran into a Banshee and decided, "it wasn't working". Not sure how he cam to that conclusion so fast. The loadout stuff looks pretty nice. Should differentiate people, but not make them overpowered. I see that they have a thruster and a jet pack.

I'll probably roll with a DMR as my main weapon for the most part. Also, the flag carrier having a pistol just makes sense honestly.

Re: Halo 4

Hmm.. I don't know how I feel about the CTF change. Not being able to drop the flag and wielding a pistol? I guess we'll see. Pre ordered this game yesterday. Can't wait.

Also, I don't know if anyone is familiar with MLG(Major League Gaming), but they're holding an event/tourney in Dallas on Nov 2nd-4th and Halo 4 has been picked up for that event. I'm positive it's nothing more than a PR move by 343/Microsoft. Why would MLG hold a competition and put a game that no one has even played yet on it? lol. Either way MLG streams these events on their website so it'll give everyone a free preview of H4 before it even comes out if anyones interested.

I'm sure all of the pros and people who run MLG will all have their hands on the game in advance of the tourney. Either way this is what I'm interested in. I can't stand where Halo has headed over the course of the past few games. In my opinion Halo is a simple game, I don't need all of these bells and whistles that make it feel like Call of Duty. I want Halo CE/Halo 2 style gameplay. Everything was simple, and the game revolved around the skill of teams and individual players.

Also, does anyone know if there will be a true ranking system in Halo 4? I don't know why they ever took it out of Halo 2. The most fun I've ever had was in Halo 2 playing clan matches and working on all the individual rankings I had.

Another thing I'm not a fan of is the ability to mute everyone in a lobby. I still play Reach and I can play over an hour and not find one person with a mic in the MLG playlist. To me this just kills the social aspect of Halo. I remember back in Halo 2 people would just sit in lobbies all day talking, recruiting players for clans, and even just making new friends. You're entire friends list would be playing Halo 2 and it was awesome. Over the years the games slowly drifted away from everything thats made it so great.

You know I didn't think about this until now. It is strange how the atmosphere of Halo has changed. I remember all the giant parties in Halo 2 where people would literally just sit in lobby talking for hours. H2 did have a mute option too.

Re: Halo 4

Halo has to evolve if its to stay relevant for another decade. Sadly, the simplicity and purity of early Halo's won't last in today's console market; we who would want that type of multiplayer are in the minority now.

I loved halo 1, halo 2 (until bouncing ruined it for me) halo 3 and reach.

Halo 3 and reach being the ones that held my attention the least.

I will say that halo 4 really does interest me with the same familiar gameplay with the enhanced features. I'm pleasantly surprised at what 343 is doing with the franchise and it's one of my favorite story lines ever (The end of Halo 3 personally was a let down since we never fought the grave mind). With Halo 4 and their goal of reaching into the armor and making you see the more human side of the chief is great. Also love how they have redone the armor to make it even look more humanoid like instead of the blockiness before.

Re: Halo 4

The Campaign is looking and sounding all kinds of awesome. Spec-Ops has the chance to be special too.

Edit: oops, I meant Spartan-Ops.

Re: Halo 4

I got down on some Reach with my friends, this weekend. I had not played in a long time and enjoyed myself a lot. My XBL account expired, since I haven't turned my Xbox on in over three months.

I finally turned it on and it's got the red ring. It is an older XBOX. That saddens me, because I was looking forward to this game.

I'll still get to play with some friends on their xbox, so it's all good. It's hard for me to justify purchasing a new system just for one game.. meh.

Re: Halo 4



I think that 343 has done a great job with what we have seen so far really blowing Bungie out of the water with the visuals. The cool part is seeing that some of the staff at 343 were from Bungie too.

Re: Halo 4

The cinematics look really good, and it'll be nice to interact more with the UNSC.

Usually they just contacted you from radio and sent you with Marines or ODST's. I've seen a few different cutscenes with him meeting with officers, like the post above, and one where a superior officer was yelling at Chief.

Is Cortana's deterioration going to be a point of contention? It'll be good to see how everybody reacts as her behavior gets more unpredictable.
