Hi All,
So I stopped caring/playing/thinking anything to do with Halo when Bungie destroyed the series with Reach. I gave it a go but I in the end I moved nicely over to BF which, I have to say has been real fun (untill they released a patch last week and broke the game).
So I know Halo 4 is coming out and what I really wanted to know was is it going to be the natural evolution from Halo 3 we all wanted or a freak bust like Reach?
I want to see:
- No bloom
- No half spartans (Reach ones that can’t jump properly, move nicely etc)
- A return of the Ninja. That was always a win.
So give me the latest and best please guys and girls
no bloom, battle rifle is back, no more dual-wielding and armor lock, sprint standard, higher movement speed and strafing is back…
no more firefight (replaced with something supposedly epic)
lots more but everything else needs more clarification. btw you will be a spartan IV(i believe?) in MM and yes, it’s a progression from 3.
> - A return of the Ninja. That was always a win.
Why is it people have this weird idea you can’t ninja in Reach? In my experience, it’s even easier, given that Sprint means people go right under you before having time to transfer that flash of red at the top of their screen into a controller movement to escape abject humiliation.
I did do it in Reach a few times but in H3 it was fluid. I really felt like an acrobatic death dealer in H3. Bouncing of the walls, jumping of boxes to avoid fire. Truly epic days.

Cool thanks for posting. Do we know if there is a demo/beta?

no beta unfortunately, they’re working very hard with internal betas and stuff to make sure that everything is up to spec by release day though.
not all the news is rosy, but the less-than-rosy things need further explanation before i throw a fit.
yea there’s a lot of good features coming into play it sounds like and the graphics seem to look pretty good too. Theres a new thing called Forerunner vision which is a bit like x-ray vision apparently.
a few potential minefields though with things like Spartan Ops which is replacing firefight because its rumoured that you will have to pay to play it but thats just rumour. Its apparently a replica of Spec Ops from CoD.
Also theres no respawn time in games aside from objective games.
