Just when I was getting bored of the Halo series, probably due to the fact that I was burnt out after playing the multiplayer for many years.
Playing CEA brought back good memories when I played Halo PC all those years ago, and reading the terminals to learn about the lore of the Haloverse and discovering the final terminal really hammered it home about how excited I am for Halo 4. Now I am currently on Waypoint touching up my knowledge of the Haloverse.
Anyone feel the same?
Had the opposite affect on me, reminded me of an old friend that has lost their way. I’m not that confident Halo 4 will be a good game.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see armour abilities, loadouts and modifiable base traits AKA perks.
The relative simplicity and consistency of Halo CE was what made it so great, almost every weapon was usable and satisfying in there own way.
I dread the return of Armour abilities for Halo 4 multiplayer. AAs and Reach original maps which were lazily reused from campaign along with bland Forge maps almost made me want to quit.
If that is a case, I’ll only be interested in the storyline after discovering this possibly terrifying new enemy.

Well put.
Halo will always have a place in my heart. I enjoy Reach as much as I did in Halo 2 and 3.
343i knows that the community doesn’t want armour abilities, and seeing as how they’ve been so good at listening to us before, I have confidence in them and Halo 4.

Actually, Bungie designed the multiplayer maps and then integrated them into the campaign, they were not “lazily reused from campaign” as you said. Would you kindly stop spreading lies? Your ignorance is breathtaking.

I prefered 2/3 multiplayer to Reach’s.

Lies? Ignorance? What are you pratting on about?
Always did had the chills whenever I played this game…It has a real good feeling of memories no doubt…

Well, they’ve done an alright job so far with CEA and Reach, so all that remains is a glimpse of what the gameplay is going to be like.

Learn to read, I explain it perfectly in my original post.
Note to self: canon discussions in the Halo 4 forum aside, this website would appear to be vastly lacking in members with sufficient cognitive ability to reason logically and, more worryingly, read.

Nothing better than experimental evidence supporting a hypothesis.
Armor abilities aren’t that bad the only armor abilities that I would say are a huge problem is armor lock and jet pack (which should be a pick up by the way). I like sprint and evade although I belie that they should be default and sprint should be much longer then it is now maybe but ineffective against most vehicles just ground enemies and evade should be turned into four moves forward flip, back flip and a side flip both ways … just to mix things up a little ◕ ‿ ◕. hand to hand combat would be so much more exhilarating and a bit more challenging and that way people will have to rely on skill again and not -Yoink!- out one armor ability … armor lock cough cough ಥ_ಥ

Are you always like this? Because I would be worried about your social life, mate.
I stated my opinion about Bungie reusing the same material but no you had to be all high and mighty, almost sounding like the Riddler wannabe. And last of all, you haven’t been ontopic at all so I actually think you are a troll in these forums.

Yes, Sprint should be default. Afterall, why can’t Spartans run without the AA? Also it speeds up the gameplay too. Halo weakness was that it’s slow and perhaps why people prefer that cough COD…

Am I always like this? Yep. Your concern for my social life is unnecessary, but it’s good to know you care.
If you don’t act logically or intelligently, I’ll tell you that, and I see no reason to be polite about it.
How did this turn into a debate on the merits of Armour abilities?
Back on topic: Glad to see a Halo fan back! 
I’m with OP on this one. It feels good to go back and visit the halo 1 campaign and remind me of what made Halo so much fun to begin with.
CEA did not disappoint, it is indeed a game worth its worth. 40 dollars for a new old game is great and to relive the nostalgia is a feeling In its own.
