Cyclopes wont be played

If youe see here http://www.destructoid.com/your-first-glimpse-at-halo-4-223146.phtml and scroll down to the last section under the last picture, it CLEARLY states that you won’t be able to play with it, its just for show

Maybe that’s just what they want us to think?

Definitely not in a competitive map like that.
As for the campaign? Seems unlikely, but I could see it happening.

Uhm…
That was obvious…the map is not open enough for it

Awwwwwww

Well hopefully well get an elephant or pelican

Who cares…? It’s a stupid mech… -_-

They already said that…

not on this map but in a big one like blood gulch/coagultion/hemmorhage there is no reason that it shouildnt be in

Mech and stupid in the same sentence???
IMPOSSIBRUUUUUUU!!!

> Who cares…? It’s a stupid mech… -_-

You never played Halo Wars, did you?

Or Mechwarrior.

But in all honesty, the only thing right now that could make me more optimistic about Halo 4 is if 343 had said we could play with the mech. Really, have we lost that much perspective on gaming that the wild and wonderful opportunities that exist right under are nose can’t be taken advantage of just because they don’t fit within the usual -Yoink- of shooters past?

This is almost as bad as the lead dingheys of Halo 3, or the forklift that couldn’t launch hunters into space in Reach. It shows that 343 doesn’t have the balls to innovate that they should.

Most likely be able to play with the cyclops on the campaign. :stuck_out_tongue:

But it’s not the same! Any campaign cycleeps would probably fit in the same general catagory of “one-off gimmick” that the Sabres were in Reach. Something to be played, enjoyed, but hardly replayed because in the confines of a limited linear campaign there isn’t that much to be had by them.

In non-linear multiplayer, on the other hand, we can explore the possibilities of foot-stomping violence much more effectively.

It may be for show but it is a good sign, They are acknowledging Halo Wars, Which is great. In the Oxm interview with Frank, he talks about that Forerunner level and my first thought was ‘Was this the place Sgt. Forge blew up?’

So I looked up to my big brother and said “In the campaign, you and I should roll together.”

no, its just for show, saying things like that is why people got upset unnecessarily about things like the vga’s and superbowl, when they say no they mean no.
