WARNING WARNING WALL OF TEXT INBOUND IF TL:DR PLEASE LEAVE NOW
Honestly,Halo 4 looks freaking amazing,the graphics the multiplayer,the campaign,spartan ops,the graphics,the maps,the weapons,forge.I love everything about it and november 6th can’t come fast enough.

Multiplayer: Half the community still isn’t convinced about how good it will be and how much like reach it will be. From what i’ve seen,its not going to be like reach but i haven’t played it yet (I will be playing at fan expo) but from what ive heard from people who have played it it’s a lot better and with the information on specializations it looks to be one of the best FPS’s out there.Why do i think the multiplayer will be great.

The kill times are faster:One of the things i hate is how long it takes to kill someone in reach it’s freaking ridiculous.

Sprint:I know a lot of you hate sprint because it can be used to run away,but the movement speed just isn’t enough,i preffer to get into the action quickly,in reach sprint is all i ever use.And you can’t run away once shot.
Playing the way YOU want to

(Specializations and custom loadouts):This helps everyone by letting them start with the weapons they’re good with or have fun using,i think its more of an equal playing field if everyone is using something they know how to use or something they enjoy using,each weapon has a different use and they’re all balanced if you’re using them the way they’re meant to be used.And with specializations this is a whole new level of depth and makes the battle field much more brutal,i feel it is something that will actually make you feel like a badass spartan. Like the freaking stalker specialization,the concept makes me feel like the freaking meta from RvB,a freaking badass,or the wetworks one,makes me feel like friggen snake eyes from G.I.JOE.And using the rouge for sniping,freaking beautiful. And there all balanced not giving anyone an unfair advantage just helping people play the way they want to,want to play like a stealthy ninja with a little extra reinforcment to help you,you can do it.

Art style,design,graphics:Freaking,beautiful,i love the art direction 343 has gone with for Halo 4,it looks realistic like reach,but has great lighting like/better then Halo 3,the forerunner buildings,the lava,amazing.The designs for the Covanent I actually like,they look more brutal and like a force to be reconed with unlike in the earlier Halo games,343 said they were taking a darker lane with the new trilogy and so far everything has reflected that,and I love it.Even with the new promethean designs and the classes,its just so cool what they had done with the crawlers,the watchers the knights and how they all work together how they can change to fit any enviroment and enemy.

Spartan Ops: Spartan ops replacing firefight was a great idea,because in reach,the idea got old,fast. Having to actually advance,and have an objective is great +Having two opposing enemy classes makes it even better,especially with the prometheans.

Campaign and story:I think it was a great idea to involve everything into the story,im one of those people who care about the story a lot (I read teh books and stuffs) and it’s just cool,especially with spartan ops when we can practically go anywhere in the Halo universe with that,its like what reach’s campaign should have been(Obviously without the ties to reach though) working with other spartans actually feeling like a team,not some annoying charectars(Well we don’t know that for sure yet) Also books like Cryptum and primordium have been amazing (Thankyou greg bear) they give you something to think about while you’re waiting for Halo 4 and tell you about what has happened and how we got to where we are,also the possible hints making you try to peice together what Halo 4 might be is just fun imo.

Armor:A lot of people weren’t pleased with the armor they had shown off in earlier builds saying the default looked the best and how all the armors in the game would look like crap.The armors from the specializations article the armors are freaking beautiful,they actually look like a super soldier actually like something you’d be scared to walk up to,i really didn’t feel that with earlier games,reach kind of did it but,it wasn’t enough for me.

What are you’re opinions on Halo 4 so far,negitive opinions are welcome but bashing is not FOR EXAMPLE: Dis game is going to beh happy it l00ks ju5t l1k r3@ch. Y u no make halo 2.5 or halo 3.5.

I think this will possibly surpass the previous Halo’s in how much fun it’ll be. It’s a possibility.

I agree,all the new features are something new bungie really never explored like 343 has decided to do. I think they’re doing a great job on this game.

I’m sorry, that wall of text shorted out my brain

5

> I’m sorry, that wall of text shorted out my brain

Is it because it was a wall of text,or because you think it was bad.If it was because it was a wall of text,in all fairness,there was a warning :3.

As a buddy of yours on Halo Waypoint, I can say that I am behind you fully when you say that Halo 4 will be an amazing game.

There are people who will complain (like now. Jeez, it’s like GI all over again), and there are people who will blindly praise 343i’s actions. Then, theres people who have their concerns, and have logical reasons behind those concerns, but have a neutral/positive outlook on the game. I like to think of myself as one who is positive that I’ll love the game as I have all the previous halo games that I have and even haven’t played.

I have things that I am worried about, but overall, I think that Halo 4 is shaping up to be an excelant game. Yeah, the armor abillities won’t be completely balanced, but at least they were attempted to be balanced unlike the ones in Reach. There may be a couple imbalanced specializations (I don’t think that they will be that bad, we all know how IGN likes to get facts wrong), but they don’t affect the gameplay that much and take time to earn.

There are still risks and things that might break it. I hope it’s all well calculated and well. It could be the best one so far. It’s a huge risk but the rewards might be amazing if they pull it off.

It’s just too much to read through, so I skimmed it just now. I’ve got no problem with what you posted.

As a long time Halo fan I will say 343i is doing an amazing job with Halo 4. Its taking Halo to a new level of gaming and some people don’t like that, well get out of the basement and learn, games are changing. I can understand why people don’t like change, but in a situation like this. 343i is a fairly new company and there building and taking over the biggest franchise of gaming. There doing what they feel that they love, we love, and point blank. Put Halo back on top of the charts.
Halo 4 will be amazing and im sorry for the people that aren’t buying it because they say it sucks because man, Your going to be missing out of the " Future game of the Year" and what looks to be the best Halo to date.

Hah,hey dude what’s up ^ ^. And I agree,Im one of those people who have a neutral/positive outlook on things,yeah there will be things i don’t like but i’ll save my decision if i don’t like it until i know a lot or most things about it.And yeah,everything can’t be balanced,but at least they’re trying and are doing a great job from what we’ve seen so far. Im really glad 343 decided to take over and that they have the team they do.

Yeah,like with the specializations and everything from what i’ve heard and seen,it’s like a more brutal and skillfull multiplayer where you can play as you wan’t but still and equal playing field but its still Halo,just an evolution.And i bet they’ll end up buying it when it wins game of the year :P.

12

Even if this thread is a bit to long,I love what you said and I totoally agree.

13

I wonder what they will do if Halo 4 is Game of the Year.

14

no wonder i couldn’t read this and kept getting lost and confused, there was a lot of spaces missing joining words together and lack of paragraphs made it very easy to loose track of what line i was on.

fixed, now i’ll read it:

tl;dr

16

It’ll be near impossible to surpass Halo 3 in terms of gameplay, enjoyability and replay value.

But it actually could. o.O

17

Too Long; Didn’t Read.
Anybody got cliffnotes?

18

I agree with some points.
I don’t really think the “savage” look is the best for the Covenant. They’re an intelligent species, not rabid dinosaurs or something, there’s a culture behind each race.
I really think Reach nailed the look of a Spartan, practical, elegant, badass and inspiring. Halo 4 has some pretty neat helmets too though.

19

Nothing will never beat good ol’ Halo 2!

20

I despise the new Covenant look, but I agree completely with everything else you said.

Off topic: would it have been that hard to put a line space between each paragraph? :stuck_out_tongue:
