but Halo 4 is almost finished, and nobody at 343 is reading anything you guys have to say at this point
im sure they listened to feedback based on the previous games but nobody is going to sift through endless threads about what Halo 4 needs in your opinion
the fact is you dont know what you want, i bet a bunch of you suggested ideas early on for Reach and a portion of those who did hated the changes that were implemented
the gameplay for Halo 4 was and always has been solely in 343’s control, not at the behest of fans who cant make up their collective minds about anything gameplay related
sure but its fun to dream

but its the same discussion a million times over, every day its the same “what Halo 4 needs” threads
nobody here can come to an agreement on call of duty type features, armor abilities, or remade maps
i dont know, i feel like this is all squabble
i will wait until concrete details about the game are released for a discussion

I understand where you’re coming from, I really do. However, people are going to discuss, no matter what. You can either join in or ignore it.
I really hope you are right. The Halo fans are too diverse. One wants COD elements the other wants AL in Halo 4 the other wants something stupid as well. 343 should not listen to them, it will only make things worse.

Keep it simple 343i! Back to foundations!

This^ hahaha
EDIT: After listening to the G4TV interview with frank that went up yesterday, i’m definitely starting to feel a little more relaxed as to they’re not going to just go “hey, this worked fine but we’re gonna scrap it and turn this into an unrecognizable abomination”.
He placed an emphasis on saying that:
“does it feel like a Halo game while I’m running,SHOOTING, and driving… that is already captured, the essence of that is already done… we’re testing pieces of Halo 4 right now and does feel really classic and it does feel very true to the original game and best parts of the sequels(not PREquel(Reach) :P!) and there’s things we’re doing right now that are new to the Halo universe that and they’re different than you might have experienced but they WONT ultimately affect how you feel about your moment to moment gameplay(like bloom) and hopefully they’ll feel like they’re layering on new ways to invest and enjoy your game…”

It’s almost finished, huh? It’s not like there’s still a year to release or anything…
It can still majorly change. Maybe not story wise but multiplayer and forge can still undergo serious changes. I doubt it’s anywhere near going gold.
