Halo 4 E3, what was good, what was bad

I’ve been a Halo fan for many years and watched E3 last night mainly for Halo 4. 343i should have got way more stage time than what they got.

I thought 343 have done a fantastic job, with almost everything.
The graphics where amazing.
The new guns look fantastic.
The multiplayer looks good and I cannot wait to jump in.

But there are a few things that I noticed in the multiplayer that had bugged me.
The medals do not look a good as they used to, I was a big fan of the Halo 3 and Reach medals and the Halo 4 ones did not look anything special.
Also when the announcer just says the highest kill medal you got, just like in firefight, if this is in the game I will be a little bit disappointed.

I know these things can easily change, but if they do not it wont stop me from buying the game.
I cannot wait to hold this game in my hands and I will probably play it as much as i did Halo 3.

Thanks 343i for creating, what is going to be, the came of the decade.

I think my favourite part was the fact that everyone was cheering at the end of Halo 4 but when Black OPs came on no one cared. I know I shouldn’t be comparing Halo to COD but it felt SOOOO good.

First things first, welcome to Waypoint!

Secondly, those medals are very likely to be placeholders.

I know most likely will be, but if they aren’t, :frowning:

Agreed, the medals do look wierd. Lets hope they change. And also the way he said “overkill” sounded wierd.

Anyways, great show!

Yeah they look really cheap… like all MULTI KILLS are blue with yellow stars… What happened to variety

When the top concern is how the medals look, you know you got yourself a good halo game!

When they said reveal of Spartan Ops I was expecting a bit more than a 40 sec video of clips to be honest. I was hoping for half a match or something with a group of on stage developers, a bit like how Bungie showed of Firefight Versus.
