Going Over E3 Vids and Hopes For Halo 4

Just to start this off my opinion:

“After the recent news and current videos recently released about Halo 4 I feel that Halo 4 is going to SUCK BALLS, just kidding, high chance I’m going all out for this one and I’m very excited.”

Halo 4 : E3 2012 Infinity Multiplayer Introduction Trailer

Lets start off with the overall Infinity Multiplayer introduced in H4. This is where the magic happens. We’re introduced to War Games, the competitive player versus player space, Spartan Ops, the cooperative game mode with story driven mission/episodes, and the overall tracking of your respected Spartan careers. I feel the Spartan Ops and War Games part of the video are unimportant simply because they have entire videos devoted to info on each of these parts and we’re going to get to them later. I find that 1:22 in the video is where things started to kick off. We are shown a little armor customization and most importantly LOADOUTS, that’s right loadouts. Apparently you have a primary, secondary, grenade types, armor ability, and armor mod. They even show a level up which interesting enough show the player UNLOCKING the Battle Rifle. Still wondering how exactly this means, will we be able to use these loadouts in all modes or (this is my opinion) this is only used in the Spartan Ops to avoid balancing issues in War Games(multiplayer).

Now for Spartan Ops, our substitution for Firefight. New information tells Spartan Ops is a weekly, episodic coop mission game mode. Where players play through story driven missions together. I see this as a strong point in the game, where players who want more Halo story and player who want more diverse gameplay content get what they want and especially if H4 keeps the whole daily/weekly challenges along with this Halo 4’s content is hardly going to be lacking in substance. Another point I would like to touch is the 1:28 point in the video. An armor ability that resembles a jackal’s shield, which to me is pretty cool (I made a suggestion for ability like that in the old halo forums and now i get to use it so, yeah fanboy scream).

Ok, I tired right now, I will finish this later. TO BE CONTINUED

The jackal shield type AA is called the Hardlight shield.
