So as the title says, what are your hopes and or expectations for Halo 4 Campaign. I would have to say for me the thing I am hoping for is since 343 Industries is “fleshing out” John Master Chief Spartan 117, that they will actually show his face in some way.
I’m hoping for that, too. Maybe not in Halo 4, but somewhere down the line.
All I expect is a cliffhanger for Halo 5 (forgot that was coming out didn’t ya)
No real face time chief ever please. I doubt they would get his face correct. People would fussing over his face for years to come, and disappointed to see, “this is who I’m fighting as.”
I’m expecting a campaign better than Reach (it was just boring) at least. Badass cutscenes, nice graphics which is true and great gameplay with some action packed battles. I also hope the campaign is more explorable and free roam like past campaigns with bigger spaces.
This is the campaign I’ve been waiting for since I finished Halo CE and read Fall of Reach.
Story is going to take center stage this time instead of gameplay, but that doesn’t mean story-driven gameplay elements won’t be a major focus as well. I’m most looking forward to seeing more scripted events, in-game dialogue, wider variety of characters, new action sequences, new enemies, new weapons/vehicles, etc.
It’s just going to be bigger, better, and more badass than anything we’ve seen so far and that is saying something b/c Halo has always had high-caliber campaigns.
I would love a longer campaign. Or at least one that doesn’t feel short. If it tells an amazing story, then I could handle it being short. Halo never has had more than a 6 hour campaign anyway so I’m guessing it won’t be much different from that.
What I really am looking forward to is John’s characterization. If the GI article is any indication, then I think John is going to talk a lot more and I really, really like that. They absolutely should not show his face though. At least not in this game.
I’m also really looking forward to Requiem. From the concept art, it really looks like it’s going to be something we’ve never experienced before. A vast, beautiful, alien new world, just like those first steps on Halo.
Worse than Reach.
I don’t understand the fascination with wanting to see MC’s face. He is supposedly a pale,freckly, red-headed person that looks like a scarred/burn victim. Keep that business off of my television, please!
The only way I would ever want to see MC’s face is if the game hid a Kinect functionality where the game would secretly scan an image of your face and when MC takes off the helmet, your picture/ scan is inside. It would be the most unexpected, hilarious thing ever.

lol wut
I am expecting a mess of a story, truth be told. I think its going to not mesh with the original trilogy at all.

In the Fall of Reach book, I believe he is described as a young boy being freckly and red-headed. In other media he is described as being extremely pale, and he has battle scars from extensive battles and burns/skin damage on his body from being exposed to extreme conditions. All in all, expect him to look like a messed up Rorshack.
I think the Campaign will be amazing. Just reading about the first mission gave me severe goosebumps. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
i just hope i can play with friends without any lag like in reach. campaign was ruined for me because of all that lag.
Since Greg Bears is on it, and since his Forerunner books flipped the series on its head in very good way. I really don’t have any doubts that it will be great.
However allot of people don’t follow the books so they’ll probably be confused as hell, especially since Greg is extending the Antediluvian/Diluvian reference with Humans, Forerunners, and the new (God)Precursors.

I want to find out why the covies are attacking again…

Hopefully it’s a good reason.
> I want to find out why the covies are attacking again…
Because 30 years of genocide is totally forgotten/forgiven in 3 months…
Also not all Elites follow or even like Arby.
> I want to find out why the covies are attacking again…
As stated in GI, apparently they’re “Rouge Covenant”
I expect to have my mind blown in Halo 4, I just want a WOW! moment ya know, or something completely unexpected.
> I want to find out why the covies are attacking again…
I think the GI issue stated that they are simply just a rogue ship that come across the FUD and board it. They most likely know nothing about the human-elite alliance or the Covenant collapse since they weren’t on the front-lines as it all went down.
That first mission could also explain MC’s new armor. He wakes in his old Mk. VI, fights those rogue Covies and damages his armor enough to need replacing. I think it would be kind of cool to start the game as classic Chief.
