…Who thought it looks absolutely amazing? (sorry, couldn’t fit full title in the Thread Subject field)
Seriously. I was starting to get a little downtrodden at the news we’ve been hearing about multiplayer, and was worried that the campaign’s story was going to go further down the route that Halo Reach went.
I was pleasantly suprised that this is not the case. Everything in the short demo has allayed my fears. Everything from the dialogue (although a bit too hand-holding) was great, the visuals are great, the cinematography is great, and most importantly… the sense of awe, wonder, and mystery has returned. Something we didn’t even get to see a lot of in Halo 3.
The forerunner weapon design is absolutely fantastic–the self-assembling, almost lego-like pieces is a design choice I wouldn’t have thought of. The weapons also look like they fit their own unique niche in the weapon sandbox, too.
343i, I sincerely hope Halo 4’s multiplayer is more balanced and fun than Halo Reach’s multiplayer was–because if it is, Halo will return to being the King of the Console, and usurp Call of Duty from the throne it so shamelessly hijacked.
I agree. I think the campaign alone is enouh for me to buy the game. Though if that was the case I’d just get it used or wait for the price to go down.
Luckily, there is a lot more stuff in there that I like so buying it new is incredibly likely.
You aren’t. To be honest, anyone complaining about that Campaign demo are just looking for reasons to complain. It was a REALLY good demo, and I think it will be a really good Campaign.
Multiplayer looks ALOT better than it did on paper too. And I always though Spartan Ops would be awesome, and it is.
Nope, I thought it was amazing too, and I’ve despised what they’ve been doing with the multiplayer.
Sure, some of it looked god but the over all design of the enemies weren’t that great, I’ve seen it in so many other games already I though Halo 4 would bring something new, not re-hashed enemies from other universes (Crysis, Metriod, RF:Armagededdon) 
Also, the level shown was too small, it was just a nice scenery corridor, just like CoD. What ever happened to “Silent Cartographer”, big open areas where you can choose your own way to approach the enemy, flank them and such? Exploration?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot better then Halo Reach, 10x better, but still nowhere near Halo 1-3, or at least not what we’ve seen so far. Hope to see bigger things later on, open maps, freedom! Even at the cost of graphics quality, gameplay over graphics.
Call of Duty ever took the throne? Did I miss something?
Anywho, I am very much looking forward to it! My only gripe is that (from how it seems) I don’t wanna kill Cortana… That might make me very sad.
Crawlers and Watchers I saw coming cause of the toy leak. HOWEVER, the Elite disentegrating? cool! that Knight’s skull showing up make me sh** bricks! POV fight! Go Chief! Punch that fugly thing again! Oh no! He’s losing! and the Watcher catching Grenades? wtf!? Forerunner weapons connecting when you pick them up? cool! Knights teleporting? very interesting! all those enemies? Mother of God. Mammoth? Mesa wanna drive now! Cortana’s rampancy? someone needs a chilax pill.
It’s all gonna be sweet. the Campaign demo was amazing! anyone complaining… just needs to leave. seriously.
… then I watch that Micheal Bay game and yawn… multiple times.
Halo 4, and more importantly, 343i, very well deserved every single award they got. Hands down. They had me worried. They said to trust them. And I didn’t. I very well regret ever doubting them. HOWEVER, I’m not gonna pull a Reach again (thinking it’s going to be the best Halo game ever of all time just to be majorly disappointed). BUT, they keep making me think this is, without a doubt, the best Halo game ever. Of all time.
Keep it up 343i! You’ve earned my trust!
