Honestly, I’ve watched the halo series grow on me, and I seen the rise of the mighty titan that is halo, to a small spark, and then dud. But, after watching the First Look, let that video alone be the defining basis of the Regeneration of the Halo Franchise. To me it gave it a promise that they would nurture what is the new halo, as well as they did, but made it a serious game. And that exactly what the series needs. I see now more than ever, within the gaming industry, that the fps shooters and sci-fi have all become serious and stoic, which make them a top seller.
But will this bring joy to halo fans, to see the population at high numbers, like it was during the Halo 3 Premiere? It frightens me to see a great company with amazing expectations and guidelines, fail to meet the needs of fans and average xbox players.
Basically, what I’m asking is, will Halo 4 live up to a major hype? Or will it not take off?

I’ve been here from first year Halo 2 and it just makes me sad when I read the forums full of new people making the game into something it never was instead of making Halo better.
I have stuck with Halo cause of the old people in the community and the game Reach just isn’t fun so if Halo 4 is Reach 2.0 then I’m out everyone who likes it can have it.

I hope you’re right, hard to get my hopes up cause I had my hopes high for reach and now hope really doesn’t work for me anymore.

once they confirm some iffy stuff people are talking about then i will forsure 10000% be happy
I am cautiously optimistic. I am glad to see that gameplay seems like Halo but not so fond of some of the artistic decisions. If they sort out the artistic look of things like the BR and Warthog and scrub off the anime mecha style off the Mjolnir then I reckon the game will be pretty damn good.
At present my only major gripe with Halo 4 is the questionable artistic choices. BR looks like a toy gun covered in pointless gimmicks, Warthog looks absolutely terrible and has normal style suspension for reasons that are beyond me, Spartans seem to have been to the Gundam universe and picked up anime style jetpacks.
Yeah I’m feeling good about Halo 4. The campaign’s what’s most important to me, and I’ll be happy with that as long as it doesn’t involve switching perspective after every couple of levels.
Mixed feelings, some of the things they’re implementing sound like cool ideas, but not sure whether or not they will be integrated correctly. It looks to be a giant change from the past Halos, just hoping it’s a good change. I just hope they understand simplicity is key. Not much was shown (if you can call that anything) gameplay wise, so we’ll see.
