Halo 4 Opinions?

I am compiling a collection of opinions to see how the community feel about Halo 4.
Post a paragraph or two on whatever area of the game you would like to post opinions on (Campaign, Multiplayer, Spartan Ops etc…)

ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS WHATSOEVER!

Lets hear your opinion:)

The game looks phenomenal. Their handling of the Limited Edition, however, is by far the worst I have ever seen in the industry. Still, at least the game is looking great and I’m really looking forward to Spartan Ops and Dominion.

My only concern is that I don’t have the same feeling of abandonment, helplessness, and estrangement from what I find familiar. The news about Infinity arriving to Requiem just a short while after John is marooned gave me hope. I don’t want hope. I wanted to feel like getting hope would be a more significant task than causing the capitulation of the Covenant. Nowadays, I more or less figured that everything’s going to be alright.

<mark>Campaign</mark> is going to be awesome
<mark>Multiplayer</mark> is the best to play.
<mark>Spartan Ops</mark> a second campaign which will be awesome
<mark>Forge</mark> there is not much to say IMO since i don’t make maps

I mean, if seeing “the culmination of human achievement” faceplant onto Requiem as soon as you lay eyes on it, then… You may be a hard man to please in the destroy hope department! lol

That said, I’m ridiculously hyped for Halo 4. I call it Halo Fever. I can’t WAIT to see what goes down in campaign, and I’m surprisingly really looking forward to SPOPS. I don’t give much thought to war games cuz I just assume that the multiplayer will be awesome, ha. CAN’T WAIT!

Well I am really excited for halo 4 because of it’s innovation with spartan ops. It looks extremely intriguing. Not only that but I have faith in multiplayer as well. I am tired of hearing people comparing it to Call of Duty, Call of Duty puts poor efforts into their system while 343 worked countless hours on theirs. If executed properly, the loadout/perk system can work great. I am also excited to see chief back. This is my opinion on Halo 4

This sums up me and some other peoples opinions quite nicely

343 is putting all of that love into one game: Halo 4. They have spent countless hours writing, polishing and creating a new campaign. Using motion capture, having the voice actors in the room together so they can interact, and making halo about the MC’s humanity. Bringing in new enemy types is something long overdue.

They created spartan ops, a new gametype which will not only extend the lore but also bring friends together to play as their own spartan and explore requiem. I still cant believe that there are so many episodes and this will be just as imersive as the campaign.

They improved forge, i am not big on creating maps but from what my FORGECRAZY friends say, it looks very promising.

The multiplayer: 343 has brought back some old faves while creating mindblowing new weapons. Spartan cuztomisation is at a unprecedented level, so much armor! Creating new gametypes like flood, while also retaining old favorites; even making a vanilla playlist. 343 has worked on balancing armor abilites and making them feel more “haloish”, while also developing many new maps, as well as a remake. Instead of copying and pasting parts of campaign ( IM LOOKING AT YOU HALO REACH).

The music: Sure it’s different, but honestly it fits the halo universe and i love it. It has a more “cinematic” feel and each and every track is diffrent and wondefull. Everyone has a diffrent taste in music. But it is not like they just made generic boring music. This has SOUL.

To the halo community: Everyone has different ideas of what would make the perfect halo game, we as individuals have similar and opposite tastes… It would be impossible to create a game that everyone would see as 100% perfect. Please stop all the attacking and bringing down others. 343 could have left chief in space forever.
In 2001 we came together and played this game called halo ce. From system to link to live, halo has been a source of joy, comfort, creativity and sometimes anger. I know it is hard but let us all come together again on november 6th and remeber why we love halo.

A hard lady to please, rather. :slight_smile:

Well the setting for Spartan Ops season one being set six months after the events of Halo 4 is more of a buzzkill than it actually appearing early on in campaign. Various other hints by 343i (future additions to armor, etc.) makes it pretty obvious that John-117 will make it through the game with his brain working.

i think halo 4 will be legen wait for it

Halo 4’s campaign looks like it’s going to make me cry. It looks so beautiful, and I’ve been longing for a extremely high quality story of Halo. Master Chief’s new armor is looking to be my favorite in my opinion.

Spartan Ops is going to be one thick icing on the cake for Halo 4’s campaign. Spartan Ops will continue the Halo 4 story with your Spartan straight from the Infinity! I’m real excited about the same levels again with a bunch of ways to complete the mission.

And War Games will be just awesome! It might keep me playing for a long time.

I think halo 4 will have a more communal feel, a bit like halo 3 (thats my first halo game before you guys judge) meaning it will be a lot more fun. The graphics look amazing and dominion looks like an AWESOME gametype.

I personally felt like halo reach was designed for teamwork but caused the exact opposite. Halo 4 doesn’t look like players are going to want to take advantage of your teammates.

I’m glad spartan ops has had some effort put into as firefight in ODST was a revolutionary game mode but in reach, playing it was pointless (well technically not pointless but you know what i mean) Enemies kept coming, there was no record of how long you could survive (i guess they took that out cos games could last hours, but still it was something to compare) and also there was no story to it, customizing it was the only new addition and i only used it for about a week to get the achievements. However i am psyked for halo 4 as they seem to care about this mode and give it something else, story.

dr rockso, explain…

I am very excited about Spartan Ops. I enjoyed playing ODST firefight with my bro and friends and now we have CO-OP CAMPAIGN!

So freaking awesome 343! :smiley:

The Campaign is the best Campaign in any Halo game, and the story really helps that fact. It has a real Halo 2 feel to it, but with a better story and more feelings. There are several parts where my mouth actually hung agape, as the the story is just so powerful and epic.

The multiplayer feels like Halo 3 on steroids. It’s better than Reach, and my only complaints are the infrequency of Ordinance drops in Objective games (once every four/five minutes) and the fact that the AR is extremely OP. It kills in around half a clip. At least the maps are big and open, though, so AR-wielders can’t get too close to you. Speaking of that, Ragnarok plays very well, and the Mantis fits perfectly, but I only wish there were more power weapons, as it’s very difficult to get close enough to hijack it. I was in the Mantis for most of a game of CTF, and I got an Overkill, three Triple Kills, a Rampage, and went 60-7.

I’m yet to play Spartan Ops, but it definitely looks more fun than Firefight, and much less repetitive.

Overall, Halo 4 is fantastic. In every way.

Halo 4, IMO, will be absolutely amazing.

The Campaign looks like it might be the best yet, a brand new story with roots in all the Halo lore. Plus those graphics…

Spartan Ops looks like it’ll be awesome. Story based, mini-campaign missions made for your cooperative squad (playable alone too) with your Spartan, made into a TV series setup with a CGI scene directly connected to this weeks missions? With the first season free? Campaign and Spartan Ops together are more than enough for me to get the game.

Forge looks much improved. The new maps won’t be too big, unlike Forge World, we get 3 unique environments (one is in space!) to forge on. There are many new, awesome tools to work with and things to use, like trait zones and magnets.

Multiplayer is a big one. There are a lot of changes, but it looks like Halo 3 with the good (and improved) parts of Reach mixed in with a more focused multiplayer. I like it. Its purpose built, so flow won’t be awkward. The Loadouts offer gameplay enhancements, more personal customization. The personal armor looks pretty nice, lots of new options too. The gametyoes look nice. Flood mode is awesome, Dominion looks great, I can adjust to the new CTF, Infinity Slayer looks interesting, Regicide looks fun, and SWAT is coming back! If Multiplayer doesn’t end up as expected, the rest of the game definetly makes up for it, for me at least.

Campaign - will be amazing IMO, with a very deep story line.

War Games - Overall should be fun. There is many things that have changed but for the better. I am sure some things are going to need tweaking and fixing though like some weapons. The maps could have some effects in the background or rain / snow… that is my only complaint.

Spartan Ops - Essentially a back story / second campaign, looks to be really awesome. I like how it is weekly and in an episodic fashion which adds excitement and constant things to look forward to playing.

Forge - Is cool with different environments and enhancements in making it easier to construct things faster. However, there is not an environment that really is a flat, big map for large vehicle battles. They are all relatively medium sized but with a lot of terrain that isn’t flat. I am sure a DLC map pack will include new forge environments.

I dunno, I haven’t played it yet :confused:

eh, I feel that it looks like it will be pretty good. I mean, I now 343 has changed things up a little, but the core gameplay still looks like Halo 3 . . . actually a lot like halo 3.
