Extremely Educated Expectations for Halo 4

Hello everyone, I’m a normal, average forumgoer. But after only watching brief gameplay videos and having absolutely no hands on experience of the game, I understand what will be overpowered and what needs to be fixed, months before the game’s release.

Certain weapons will be overpowered because I saw a BR not kill someone in five shots, even if some of the bullets actually missed, since I know nothing about the damage of every other gun in the game, it must be underpowered, I would know because I’ve watched 5 minutes of footage.

Also, Master Chief’s armor being different will ruin the whole game because since he is not in multiplayer that means that multiplayer Spartans aren’t cannon and BR is underpowered.

Also, because I saw some reused gun models and character animations from Halo: Reach, that also means that the BR is underpowered, even though I have not played the final model and found out if they are placeholders, they make the BR weaker and affect Master Chief cannon.

Also, because there’s no Firefight, that means everything else in the game including the entire Campaign, Spartan Ops, Multiplayer, BR, and Forge are underpowered because not having one thing affects my expectations of the entire game because I watched some MLG gameplay.

In all serious, fellow Halo fans, what I posted was a parody based off of some people’s actual expectations of the entirety of Halo 4, it’s simply insane that people jump to such conclusions. One forum post said they are refusing to buy the game because there’s a jetpack involved??? Now I can’t say that this game will be good or bad, but from the trailers my expectations for this game are pretty high, it looks good and SEEMS to have the Halo feel running for it.

VERISIMILITUDE is appearance versus reality, please don’t make rash judgements on a game that APPEARS to be good/bad until you experience the REALITY of playing it.

Have a fantastic day everyone! :smiley:

I find this post highly amusing.

^^^ I hope you caught on that it was a parody! :smiley:
Sadly enough, some people do rant like this in the world.

Wait I’m confused. Is this a sarcastic post, or a sarcastic post of a sarcastic post?

hahahaha i was like is this guy for real. i think everyone should have to read this post when they first enter the forums and have a pic of johnson looking angry as can be saying dont be this guy

I approve of such parodies as they are sadly, true of how unrealstic some fans can be. Being cautious and critical (to a point) about Halo 4 is one thing and it is another instantly dismiss the game because it’s not Halo CE/2/3 or that plays exactly like COD.

For me, there are somethings that i am worried about in terms of MP balance but others i like.

Your parody posts are the best, though.

The fact that Campaign is totally unnecessary and uncompetitive is why Halo 4 is going to fail. It needs to be removed because who plays Halo for the story anymore? Only a small group of dedicated fans read the books or care about the universe and they are at best, isolated from the core fanbase. The fact that 343 is melding the MP and story together is just insulting to the competitive player base and just another reason why real halo fans will not buy Call of Space 4: Spartan OPs II.

Players both casual and competitive don’t need any additional layers to Halo. The MP is the single most important part of Halo and it’s the sole reason people play it in the first place. If anyone else says different, they are quite insane and should be ignored.

Remember: There is no jetpack anyone. Just a thruster pack that acts like evade.

So, you want everyone to wait to complain about the BR being underpowered until the game is out when it will be virtually impossible to change?

deeeeeeeeerrrrrrp

The only problem with parody threads is the bias moderation.

Threads like this which poke fun at complaints are allowed, while parodies of people who defend the game are lock/banned.

> Remember: There is no jetpack anyone. Just a thruster pack that acts like evade.

Actually…Jetpack is in.

Notice the device of the Spartan in the air in comparison to the one using Thruster Pack

Both…Damn it.

This thread is not needed and the op is not creative.

We honestly don’t need another thread like this. Tension are high enough, lets not start fights.

> Certain weapons will be overpowered because I saw a BR not kill someone in five shots, even if some of the bullets actually missed, since I know nothing about the damage of every other gun in the game, it must be underpowered, I would know because I’ve watched 5 minutes of footage.

BR has been confirmed a five shot kill. Same with DMR and the carbine is seven shot. The two latter shoot and kill faster than the BR, so these are valid concerns.

More than five minutes have been seen. We have got full games from both Elamitewarrior and Neighbor.

> Also, Master Chief’s armor being different will ruin the whole game because since he is not in multiplayer that means that multiplayer Spartans aren’t cannon and BR is underpowered.

How does what you just said make sense? I know your mocking someone else but noone else has said that. They didnt like the new art style, sue them.

> Also, because I saw some reused gun models and character animations from Halo: Reach, that also means that the BR is underpowered, even though I have not played the final model and found out if they are placeholders, they make the BR weaker and affect Master Chief cannon.

Once again, I realise this is a troll thread but noone has stated that. Infact, its the same BR animatio from halo 2 (although people don’t realise that)

[uote]Also, because there’s no Firefight, that means everything else in the game including the entire Campaign, Spartan Ops, Multiplayer, BR, and Forge are underpowered because not having one thing affects my expectations of the entire game because I watched some MLG gameplay.

Serioisly, If you are going to mock someone, at least do it with a sensible argument style.

Its not insane. There are perfectly valid concerns regarding kill times and armor abilities in this game. Of the gameplay we have watched, we are perfectly allowed to comment on items we see as unfit. For example promethean vision is stupid overpowered and gives far longer range than it should. It will not be balanced for competitve play and I can say that with a high degree of certainty.

The BR kills less people at a slower time with one mag than both the DMR and the Carbine, and whether or not its the final build doesnt matter, we are commenting on what we see as wrong in our eyes based on the knowledge we as people have on competive gaming. As it stands, anyone with a degree of skill with the DMR WILL kill faster than the person with the BR because the DMR shoots faster, meaning it doesnt matter the range if they are a good shot. The DMR will also kil three people per mag as will the carbine, the BR will only kill two.

Graphics don’t define the quality of a game. I find COD for wii to be more fun than the other consoles becuase it takeks quite a bit more skill to move and aim than the other consoles, leaving moabing or nuking to be extremely difficult. The wii has terrible graphics, but higher gaming quality. Certainly the game looks good, but go bakc and play halo 2. Compaired to reach, halo 2 looks terrible, but it plays so much better.

We can still make a semi accurate judgement based on gameplay given and faults we see and hope to correct anything that could be harmfull before the release of the final build.

That is all.

Thrusters is cool. A balanced Evade if you will. Looks pretty damn cool and makes

Jetpacks? I don’t know. I have the firm belief that Camo and Jetpacks really shouldn’t be given on spawn due to the advantages they give. They could be balanced Halo 4 but they already left a bad taste in my mouth in Reach. We’ll see.

hahaha you had the same reaction I had. Im curious to see how the Halo 4 jetpack works. Im just hoping its not maap breaking like the Halo reach jetpack.

Urgh, one of these threads again.

I enjoyed reading this even the serious comments regarding the original post were entertaining. Everyone needs to laugh and relax. Just a few more months and we’ll all get the joys of playing this game. Can’t wait to see you all online in November!

People are seriously trying to counteract my BS, made up arguments with real ones? WHAT THE HECK! HAha
