Yes. FUN. That’s what made Halo:CE a good popular hit, it was fresh, easy, and FUN. With a good amount of competitiveness. Not enough to ware away new comers but not too little to feel too easy.
Same could be said about all Halo games. ANd I agree Halo 4 will be the new Halo:CE. New or old features included.
Campaign
Well first off it seems like Halo 4 is going to be a continuation of Halo 3, Not reach. This is good, Halo 3 had much better levels and overall the best battles and such from any Halo game. I just hope the a.i is better and more fun then 3 (which I’m sure it will be)
The game is going to be fun, I’m sure solo is going to be a challenge and something everyone is going to talk about. And if 4 player online COOP is in as well it’ll be better.
If Halo 4 can have a more open fun COOP with better connection and match making, It’ll be a win. Lets just hope. Hell I’m willing to only have 2 player online COOP as long as the connection is good.
Spartan Ops
In place of a COOP and Firefight mix. This should be a good time. Other then adding to the campaign and telling more story as well as adding purpose to the infinity and it’s modes.
This we know is 4 player online (and solo)and will be FUN. Firefight was pretty cool but old, and honestly Gears of war 3 pretty much beat Firefight in many ways. I’m glad 343 didn’t just do a Halo Firefight 3.0 mode, The new mode I think will be a blast. And have elements of Firefight with better overall performance.
Multi Player
The first two I’m sure all love so far. ANd will enjoy. M.P is the one that will need some open mindness. Yet don’t worry. I got this.
>Armor Upgrades and such: People automaticcly think of COD. Which is understandable. YEt Perks and Upgrades aren’t what make COD bad. Quick kill times mostly do (which is why a 4 shot BR/DMR is a terrible idea) and how “complicated” the -Yoink- is.
If Halo 4 can stay simple with this it’ll be fine. For example “Fire Power” (allows 2 primary weapons) should just do that. It shouldn’t ALSO allow for some other things. Keep the upgrades to what they are.
So in other words keep it simple. Don’t have “Light, Pro” versions. That’s just annoying.
>Ordnance drops again are the same. Keep it simple, giving good players an ability to pick from some weapons is fine, even more so since any enemy can kill them and take it. It’s not 100% that they will even use it or get it.
Overall my predictions are
1-Campaign will be loved and people will like it. A solid 9/10 at least. (at least is a key word)
2-Spartan Ops again will be loved. No reason to hate it, The worst that can happen is bad connection. Yet a good idea. 9.5/10 at least, MOstly for being newer and adding so much.
3-MultiPlayer will be FUN. Long as regardless of it’s new additions that it stays simple and fun. Trying to be complicated wont add competitiveness.
