Re: Halo 4 trailer....

Hmmm,... guess I'm either late or I'm the only guy who still gives a crap about the series! Lol! I know somebody has got to be excited about that trailer?

Well I could've sworn we already had a thread dedicated to Halo 4 so I didn't respond earlier. But I just did a search and wasn't able to find anything.

Regardless, I'm excited about Halo 4. I've always been a big Halo fan and am looking forward to playing 343's take on the Halo universe.

I sure hope online mode won't be a replica of the last few Halos.

I think they will keep the same foundation so that it will still play like Halo for fans however I hope since it's a new trilogy 343 tries new and interesting things.

I hope so too, but Bungie tried somewhat with Reach, and it has been the most polarizing of the series amongst the community, particularly the multiplayer. Microsoft has paid no expense putting together an all-star development team, I just hope their not creatively stymied to stick to the current formula. I'm expecting them to play it fairly safe in terms of gameplay and really listen to a lot of community feedback, reverting back to more of how the game played online in Halo 1-3 (i.e. no reticule bloom, armor abilities). Maybe they will change things up more for single player, at least it's going to be cool to see new enemies. Tough to fill Marty's shoes, but Neil Davidge (the composer and producer for the last few Massive Attack albums) being teased as the composer for Halo 4 is exciting.

I'm going to hate if they take out bloom..... With bloom it actually made you pay for missing a shot IMO.

I think Halo 4 will be a return more towards the arcade style of play that was prevalent before Reach. As much as I like Reach, the armor abilities, slow player speed and bloom has made it more of a tactical game than Halo ever was before. I feel like Halo 4 will feel like a combination of the best elements from Halo 1-3. Faster, more centered around run and gun than Reach. Bloom will be gone, dual-wielding will return and player speed will definitely be increased. I imagine armor abilities will be gone altogether but could see sprint become a permanent armor ability.

I forget where it was but I saw a thread where the was some research done on the DMR and bloom and the conclusion was that the bloom basically had no negative effect by shooting quicker or a positive one by waiting for your shots. It was an even trade off, basically meaning the bloom is a meaningless edition. I have nothing against the bloom, but wouldn't mind seeing it gone, except for the sniper rifle.

Has a hardcore Halo MP from back in the day, I really hope that 343i chooses to build their multiplayer game on the foundation that made Halo CE and Halo 2 so good.

I loved halo 1 multiplayer but Halo 2 was one of the worse games I have ever played in my life. The noob combo and Bouncers destroyed that game.

Halo 2 was easily hacked and cheated, and it was annoying. And yes the noob combo was annoying as well. However, when the game was played right it was amazing. I spent so many hours playing that game online and the good times more than make up for the noob comboers, the bouncers, hackers, bridgers and cheaters.

Re: Halo 4 trailer....

I still never felt the BR/Plasma Pistol combo in Halo 2 was that overpowered. I always remember tons of people bitching about it online, but I never really had a problem. Probably because I hit them with mine first.

Standbying was by far the biggest problem with that game.

Yeah, although Halo 2 had a lot of issues that really were a product of the times and the first serious online console shooter, the core gameplay is fantastic.

The New Halo Trilogy Has a Name

While the ten year birthday of Halo: Combat Evolved and the upcoming Halo CE Anniversary release are clearly the focus of the first Halo Fest at this year's Penny Arcade Expo, the continuing adventures of the Master Chief aren't far from anyone's mind. At 343i's Halo 4 panel on Saturday morning, Josh Holmes discussed the impending Halo trilogy and revealed the name of the upcoming three-game series: the Reclaimer Trilogy.
