Was reading a review of halo 4 after converting from a halo fan to a fifa fan once reach was produced (it just didnt feel right).
Excited by the news of halo 4 and just reading a review as i said and came across this:
The carry-over effect of Combat Evolved to Halo 4 is a “back to roots” approach, according to O’Connor. Halo 4 executive producer Kiki Wolfkill continues: “I would say Halo 1 was my favourite amongst the Halo titles, and we talk a lot about wanting to get back to that first experience and feeling that mystery, and awe of being in Halo for the first time”.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are about this qoute from an executive producer. My first thought was that halo has came to far to get a “first experience” feeling back. Just wondering what people think about this ?
I can say that I am looking forward to whatever 343 has to offer, but i’m sure others can disagree. From the video it seems like it plays like the old Halos, not sure, but confirmed “perks” may spice up halo, one way or another.

Sprint, armour abilities, battle rifle, recoil.
BR / recoil dont bother me, but idunno what there talking about.
EDIT: recoils is actually a MEH, we’ll see how it works out.
It seems like halo reach gameplay with the Sprint, armour abilities and recoil was trying to compete with call of duty, or gears of war, when it didnt need to, it just needed to be what was getting the halo franchise so much success.
343 Industries are doing the right thing trying to put there own stamp on halo as there not bungie, but what made halo sucessfull was bungie so even though it maybe premature to say, but maybe they need to take a leaf out of bungie’s creation.
I feel like they are very focused on the campaign when they say things like this. And honestly, I don’t think many of them know what the core of Halo gameplay is in terms of MP.
I like the new direction they are going. A new developer should not be forced onto the ideals of a old one. That would be a tremendous loss of opportunity.
As long as there is alot of stuff to do in the campaign like searching for secret skulls, terminals, going beyond the barriers by worthog jumping or whatever, Im sure Halo 4 will likely be extremly fun.
