343 announced that Halo 4 will focus less on a linear campaign and more on exploration and discovery. I like the concept, but will it be like Skyrim ( free-roaming, different cities, maps, quests, etc.) or other sandbox games? I believe a map would go perfectly with the armors sytems, because in Fall of Reach the Spartans have one anyway.
Here’s a link to the Halo 4 page, in the info area, it clearly says First Person Shooter. http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Games/overview/halo4
I think you misunderstood what they said…
Is this a joke?
I can guarantee you that Halo is a shooter.
You people look too deep into this stuff. They’re basically saying their going to focus more on story elements, and make it nice and juicy like a Halo book or the first two Halo games.

I agree, I have no idea how you people are coming up with this crap…
This is nearly as bad a tornado gun!
Its going to be like Halo CE. More open areas to " explore". Though nothing like Skyrim.
I’m pretty sure that the game will still be level-based, but they’re saying most of the levels will be huge and you can explore the environments within them.
Don’t do much homework do you?
The campaign will still be linear. Nothing like Skyrim.
I never said it wasn’t going to be a shooter ( that was for the trolls). But for the people who actually said it was gonna be like Halo CE, thank you.
More space is good, but we don’t need something as big as Skyrim. While that’s cool, Master Chief is usually a lone wolf, and it could get boring…
Now multiplayer maps that size could be cool! Or redone firefight where you have to move positions on certain maps. However the xbox limits our abilities to do this. If it was a PC game, the possibilities would be endless.
I think you misunderstood what they said about discovery. They probably meant that you’ll discover more information about the Halo universe and the characters within.
Yea, Halo4 is the sci fi version of Skyrim.
Ever hard of a game called ODST?
A Halo game non the less, with a less linear campaign and focus on exploration and discovery, not to mention some pretty amazing race.events in the deserted town of New Mombasa?
I think Halo 4’s campaign will be more like ODST, a world with missions, and less standard FPS with corridors, menus and 8 set missions.
Halo is a First Person Shooter and a Third Person Driver! 
Which leads me to ask… what is Second Person?

Hopefully it’s not like Reach with Go flip this switch, turn around, then flip some more switches. It was cool and all the first time but I mean campaign missions should be about exploring new places and dealing with new dangers and objectives every single time. Much like the CE campaign we all know and love. The feeling of not wanting to have to go towards the objective just because it seems too dangerous and scary.
Master Chiefs new adventures are going to be amazing to experience hopefully.

I read somewhere that Halo 4 will have a campaign that is twice as long as an average campaign, and an average Halo camapaign will last about 8-10 hours on Heroic or Legendary. Plus theres another rumor: Enhanced sound quality, it’s rumored that they will record sounds from actual weapons instead of digital sounds.
