Fortune tellers

I have become amazed at all the people in this forum that can tell the future!!! They all just KNOW that Halo 4 is bad. Why aren’t they famous yet??? Please share your gifts with the rest of the world.

Please read on down for the actual meaningful discussions.

Another thread with another tired argument. Everyone gets it, we won’t know what the game is like until we play it.

I think I’ll just wait a week and come back, maybe something new will be happening.

Based on the information released we are skeptical. Based on the information released you are happy. We are both in the same boat, you just have a different opinion. so stop acting as if our opinion should be devalued.

Oh no I am by all means not 100% happy with all the information released. Your opinion should not be devalued, and I never said (or acted) it should be. Thank you straw man fallacy. I’m simply tired of all war in this forum. Granted this post was a very passive aggressive way of stating that. I would just like for the forums to be a place of civilized conversation and meaning.

343i Also stated that may things in the magazine were taken out of context. Also, you still don’t know all the details of the items listed. One more thing, many “hardcore halo fans” say Halo was always about innovation… The list above? I’m simply saying 343i knows what works and what doesn’t’ we don’t know the full extent of anything mentioned but everyone acts like they do. true? Don’t get me wrong, I am for many of the things that have not been heard to be in the game yet, but I don’t go saying the game will suck because it does not have it.

Let me just copy/paste a response to another bumbling oaf who made these exact same attacks as you, it’s an almost perfect fit:

Holy Mother of God. I question whether or not you’ve even obtained these ideas yourself and are just plain ignorant, or if you are simply regurgitating hate-mail posted by the countless others who take the aggressive stance that “THIS HALO IS A COD CLONE”

  1. Spartan points. It’s simply an in-game currency. Are you that blinded by hate to say that every game that uses its own currency is ripping off CoD? For Christs sake, stop giving CoD so much damn credit, they didn’t invent the gaming world.

  2. When the hell did CoD have weapon drops? or even pre-set weapons on the map? Have you even played Call of Duty? And CoD also invented respawning in less than 3 seconds?

  3. How is Spartan Ops similar to Spec Ops in any way other than the names resembling each other? Go ahead, I’m listening. Might as well give CoD credit for inventing the term ‘Special Operations.’ Look out, the military is copying CoD!

  4. How are armor abilities close to perks? Perks are passive abilities that change things like the amount of ammo, or recoil reduction. Armor abilities are on-demand power-ups that directly affect your actions, and are active abilities, not passive. Using this logic you might as well say CoD invented special abilities too, cause those haven’t been used in any other game before.

  5. Finally, if you actually think the reason they took out elites from matchmaking is because Call of Duty doesn’t have aliens then there’s really no hope for you. It’s obvious you are completely set on hating Halo 4 no matter what is said. I guess CoD also invented Spartans and Master Chief because Halo ripped off those from CoD too. They would never include Spartans unless CoD had them, right?

I hope you see just how dumb this entire thread is. Why don’t you just go play CoD because it’s obvious it’s the only game ever invented or you care to give credit to.

Just let it go guys. This is the way it’s going to be. Throwing a tantrum is not doing anything. Either make constructive posts or just -Yoink- off. Let the hate die.

lol so true op :stuck_out_tongue:

I think I will lol. So those new looks of the warthog?!?!? yeah yeah? I dig it. Do you? Well actually I enjoy the graphics of everything I’ve seen so far.

> lol so true op :stuck_out_tongue:

haha I’ve just been amazed at the talent this place holds lol.

yeah the graphics look great and very cinematic. The work on the warthog is stunning. I hope they put the same amount of effort into all of the Halo 4 vehicles.

I’m excited to the possibilities of the new vehicles! I mean they are on a whole different planet. Who knows what kinds of mysterious vehicles could reside there?!

Although those vehicles originated from Halo Wars, lets hope they are in H4.

I can’t wait to see them in action (assuming they will all be in Halo 4). Lol. I also like the idea of the new multiplayer campaign-esk item. It seems unique and interesting. What do you think??

I’ve spent literally close to half a year in actual play time invested in Halo. That’s half a year of my life, fully spent on Halo if you condense all of the time. I can make VERY educated guesses as to how new mechanics will play out when it comes to multiplayer. There are many unknowns that could change things up so I don’t go about telling everyone exactly how Halo 4 will be, but trust me, I have a very good idea. You don’t need to own something to get an idea as to how it will work. The person who doesn’t own something won’t know exactly how it works, but by reading information about it, they can clearly give an educated guess that will be very similar to how the actual product will work.

Stop saying that we have no idea at all how Halo 4 will pan out, because we have enough information right now to start giving some input.

See normally I would agree, but that’s still not true. Its a whole new company with new ideas and new methods. You could give actual influential input should you know the pattern of the company. Thankfully, we do not. I still believe that time is but one factor. Yes that’s a lot of time you’ve spent in the game, but that still doesn’t mean that you guesses could be more likely to be correct. I’m simply saying we haven’t actually seen ANY of what they’ve let us know about in action. If we had seen actual action then I would say you are more than welcome to stating you know exactly how it will work. However, we have not actually seen any. We have seen very few short second clips. this is not nearly enough information. Let’s take the jetpack. We know how it works. Ok good. Unknowns: how long it will last, the power of it, its impact in this certain game with the maps, and the physics that surround it in the game. With all those unknowns, don’t tell me you can make a VERY educated guess as to how it will work out exactly. I still believe we don’t know enough to make meaningful input.

Well, my great grandfathers brother actually were famous for just that reason, we was amazing at reading peoples futures. ^^

Spartan Points = cR/Exp, we’ve seen it since Halo 3.
Spartan ops = Firefight + campaign + challenges, not new but a mix of old elements.
Insta respawn = no more time setting up spawn traps, makes the game faster
Power weapons falling out the sky = promotes teamplay to capture them, no more camping power weapon spawn
Perks = Lets players customize the way they want to play, a feature used in the very competitive Homefront and created the best balanced and most skilled game this generation.
Progression system = same as we’ve seen before, gives people a reason to keep playing
No equal starts = no more AR starts in BTB, choose the weapon you’ll intend to use and play directly instead of spending 30 seconds hunting a BR.
No Elites = Equal matchmaking, no more “pro” players using cheap tactics to compensate for lacking skills. No extra abilities or worthless elite weapons, spartan VS spartan.
No firefight = Sad, but after Reach we know it had to get rehab’ed. Spartan Ops might be just the medicine, otherwise the next Halo could add ODST style Firefight again ^^
No 1-50 = No AFKers, no Boosters, no Derankers, Host bridgers, buying/selling accounts or other kids trying to be cool. 1-50 ain’t competitive, it’s kindegarten and says as much about a players skill (btw, got 50 on my “other account”, just like you :P)
Join in games - (Who like join games that you have no hope of winning)
AA’s in game - Now hopefully balanced and fixed so they add to the game instead of ruin it, a good idea, better then equipment, but needed balancing.
X-ray vision - whole new age of camping prevention. Camping won’t just be hard, it’ll be almost impossible, sorry Swordbase but this is Halo 4, no armor lock, no camping corners.
Jetpacks = remade and works in a way so perfect, so balanced, you can never even imagine :stuck_out_tongue:

We can’t read the future, But we can read. Halo going in a whole new direction and it’s certainly Halo Combat Evolved for the first time in many years. Not just Halo 3,5 or even 2,5, but a new Halo 4 with new gameplay.

Yeah, I guess some of us will need to have a hiatus for a while.
I don’t feel like picking up the ball at this point, there’s little reasoning on the forums. So I’ll just be taking my ball and going home.
