When I saw the short ViDoc today the first thing I thought was “Wow, They’ve been working since nearly the beginning of 2009” The next was how Halo fans are the most obsessive/dedicated (in a good way). This should be reassuring to fans as this is an especially long time. I don’t know if they meant 3 in a half as of then or future release date, but regardless it is, minimal, 3 in a half years.
So Halo fans is this enough proof that 343i is currently trying to make the best game they can for us all, because this should be proof of that.
Discuss whether you agree or not, partially or wholly, it is encouraged.
I believe you mean “3 and a half years”.
How long did it take to make Duke Nuke 'em forever? Anybody know?
OT: Campaign looks great!

Ages but that was because of engine changes and oher ridiculous things.

Longer than it took GNR to release Chinese Democracy. Both disappointments

I was totally going to bring up chinese democracy too, but decided not to. The disappointment was that he called the band Guns N’ Roses.
At least they aren’t running on Valve time.
it could be so much worse, they could be like bethesda, and wait 5 years between games
Agreed, even if their are aspects of the new game I disagree with, 343 has definitely been working their -Yoink- off to make H4 the best it can be. The change to customizable load-outs must have been a hell of a balancing act and all the work they are doing to provide a new experience is deeply appreciated. No matter what you’re opinion of H4, you wont be able to say they were lazy with H4 and rested on Bungies previous work.

I would hope that no Halo fan thinks that 343 Industries isn’t trying to make the best game that they can make for everyone. Most of them are instead stating that 343 Industries is wrong and that their changes are wrong. For many of the fans on the forums it’s not a question of dedication, it’s a question of application.
Personally I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve seen, aside from Prometheans (from a haloverse view point; they look fun to fight game-wise). Spartan Ops looks promising, War Games looks like it has some new bells and whistles to experiment with, and campaign looks like it’s going to be just about everything I hoped it would be. All I would like to see now is some stuff about Theater and Forge. Just so I know they’re both in, they’re not being half-implemented and that they’re taking steps forward.
I dare say that 343industries is doing a much greater job than Bungie did in the last years. They really deserve to continue the Halo universe; 343industries are Reclaimers, inheritors to all Bungie left behind.
I don’t think anyone even argues that Halo 4 is quick cash-in that was developed in a year. 343i clearly invested time into it.

That doesn’t even make any sense.

Im saying that 343 cranked out this game
Call me cynical but i came into this thread expecting sarcasm. The title just had the makings of another hate thread.
I am glad my expectations were not met.
it doesnt matter how much time is invested if the game sucks.
Look at Diablo 3. (which isnt terrible, but its definately not as good as it shoulda been). Look at Duke Nukem Forever. Look at banjo kazooie, nuts and bolts.
Not saying halo 4 is gonna suck, just saying that we shouldn’t base its quality on development time.

Diablo 3 isn’t bad? I think the servers would like a word with you…

its not bad. But you think it would have been groundbreaking for the amount of time it spent in development.
