Anoj's thoughts on Halo 4's Specializations.

This is a really good in depth video of Anoj talking about Specializations.
Please watch it, this man is a Halo legend and deserves Waypoint’s attention.

:Btw he doesn’t exactly says his opinion outright, he presents 3 in-depth perspectives.

What side do you think you are?

I’m more of the Halo veteran who wants change and not just Halo 2, however awesome those days were.

YES!!!

QFT

Anoj - “You have to be better than that.”

“It’s a new game, new rules, new challenges… And I like that.”

Great stuff.

The specialization part should be the least concerning…

And the facts in there… Gah! November 15 2001.

The game itself feels like halo.

Exactly what I was saying.

I don’t know who this guy is and I don’t care. His opinions will not affect my fun with Halo 4.

Did you watch the video?

Noone disses Anoj!!! The man is a Halo LEGEND!!!

He’s done so much for Halo that you don’t even realize, you know the Top Ten Series for Machinima? Well he does that ALL by himself.

Besides watch the video, he was barely presenting his opinion, he was showing 3 different perspectives to the argument of Specializations and in the end he said Halo would be good with it as it’s an evolution.

Yeah… This is good stuff by Anoj. I’m actually really happy that 343i decided to put some completely new stuffs in the game. It is kind of a risky move. Hope it will pay off.

Do people really care what he thinks anyway?

I started in H2, didn’t have my own Xbox but I was hooked on Halo as soon as I played it (Infact I was skeptical of it for being s shooter and simply wanted to try it since everyone and their grandma’s left tata was talking about it at the time), and while not hving my own Xbox or account to play on I was always at my freinds getting my Halo on.

Halo 3 rolled in and it was all I could have ever hoped for, Halo 2 but prettier and w/ more guns and even equipment items I could use to my advantage like the OS and AC of old.

Then it happened- as I quickly progressed in rank I ran into more and more jerks obsessed w/ rank and the BR (the one gun I always thought didn’t belong in the game since it’s introduction). It was fine since I had 2 boss friends to play w/ and beat everyone in my path while still using the game
s wide array of weapons. However soon the “pro” mindset was adopted and EVERYONE BR spammed, leaving me w/ nothing to defend myself besides my beloved Carbine.

I practically ran away from H3 out of boredom and frustration when they put out ODST. I enjoyed the intensity of FF and the wondrous Mythic maps while I could until Reach.

Reach became my favorite Halo, I understood and supported ALL of Bungie’s creative descisions and fixes from H3’s now stale gameplay. TU upset me to no end but I’ve been dealing w/ what unsullied gametypes still remain and have even been greatly enjoying the wonders of Anniversary.

Halo 4- While LOVING Reach and it’s AAs I seriously have become frightened by 343’s descisions. Despite loving Reach, overall I lean towards the “hardcore classic” Halo fan in terms of not wanting the addition of perks and other things from other shooters that I specifically dislike for every reason I didn’t think Halo would be any good b4 playing it. I hope for the best but 343 just seems to be throwing in new stuff w/out thinkig about whether they should or not in the 1st place; just putting in stuff because they can and whatnot. Even IF they make it balanced the very thought of many of their choices seem to leave a sour taste in my mouth.

But maybe like the ppl who wanted reach to be Halo 2.9 perhaps I am being unjust in wanting H4 to be Halo Reach 2.0

> Do people really care what he thinks anyway?

It’s encouraging for a Halo Legend and Vet to say this.

I have to 100% agree, nice post man, really nice.
I’m quite like that too.

A “Halo legend?” He makes top ten videos. -.-

Thanks alot, glad to see someone who I don’t personally know agrees w/ me. makes me feel real good inside. :3

Yeah srsly though dude- Like Jon CJG (maker of Arby n the Chief) or friggin Dead Pixel are more akin to “Halo Legends” than Anoj. This is coming from a dude who generally likes the guy too.

I’ve been playing Halo since CE and I’ve never heard of him, so clearly he hasn’t done anything that directly effects me or my enjoyment of Halo.

So I stand by my opinion: I don’t know who he is, I don’t care. I’m still going to enjoy Halo 4.
