halo 4 will have the feel(cant guarantee anything) that we want. ill use reach as an example.
a couple days(or weeks forgot) before reach came out i sucked but was decent at halo 3. after almost a year of playing reach i went back to halo 3 and noticed that i was doing better then i did before(note: was playing rank). reach had the feeling but because of the blooms and stuff it made it feel different. stuff like credits or loadouts did not screw around with the mechanics(as in gameplay) we love and know.
to counter the loadout thing. it did not make the game unbalance as people think.
alot of the gamemode have the weapons on the loadouts the same but the AA were different.
halo 4 feature things like
- spartan points
- loadouts
- AA
- and etc.
but most of the things dont change a damn thing(ok mabye not modifacations and others) loadout will not allow you to have power weapons(stated by Frankie). spartan points are pretty much credits(dont harm anything). the AA that are returning are harmless ones like holo and camo(not sure about jetpack), also forunner vision is not like what everyone is thinking what it is. frankie stat the is absolutely not what we think it is. he also said that the weapon drop is not entirely random(as in they might have set locations but will spawn in a random but guessable pattern) and that map control is still possible but changed.
Frankie and 343 confirmed that the GI article had alot of the info mislead in a way, so most of the things are not accurate on the article.
one thing, the new features werent stated to be finalized, only announced. maybe magic can happen and stuff will be changed or replaced or even removed.
remember that they also have halo 5 and 6 to make and fix the mistakes that halo 4 will have. when halo 4 comes out and after a month or so of people playing it, 343 will see whats good and should stay in and take out whats bad.
i always like to say “think outside of the box”.
we dont know how these new features will work and yet we bash on it saying its bad or good as if we played the bloody game. but we cant blame ourselves. some of us arent able to adapt, for example: force a person to a country where he has no idea what the customs are and how things work. he would probably want to go back home. its like us, we fear the future so we want to stick to the past. like halo, we’re scared of the new features and changes and we clin onto the past games/features. for those who arent sure about change should not be forced to this features. add classic playlist, its like the normal playlist but classic.
the campaign i have no problem.
i dont see how halo 4 is reach 2. i see it as halo 3(or 2) with halo reachs credit and rank system and with a improved(or not) AA’s with amazing GRAPHICS. maybe its just me but thats what i think.
one quick note on weapon drops: how does this work if we’re playing in a indoor map
i cant think of anything anymore so that will be it and i hope you guys have a good day and i might comment more info and opinions later
