ok befor i start this is all info from gameinformer. i just wanted to let you all know halo 4 will pretty much be call of duty…theres instan respawn, join in progress, and and they took out firefight and put in a new thing called spartan ops witch will be just like spec ops but with a story.also there will be no elites in multi player so yea…and theres this new thing called spartan points witch is just like credits exsept for you buy new missions for sparton ops, and armor abilities…yea there back…in fact the only thing i like so far is that you have sprint, not as an armor abilitie.well people…i can handle most of the stuff but join in progress is horrible…more lag and i dont know about you guys but i like to start a game fresh insted of joining at the end…well spread the word and mabye theyll change it.this is all from game informer.also the power weapons will be spawning at random points of the map.
Halo’s campaign ended with Halo 3, and the multilayer im sure is going to end with reach. That’s okay I guess. Microsoft pushed me away from Halo anyway with their crap -Yoink- TU.
well ive been with halo scence the begining and i cant leave it,my fave game ever

What?
Joining mid game is halo. I was able to join games mid progress in halo CE and 2 PC.
Those are valid halo games.
Look another thread for, fix, remove, nerf, whine, cry, hate. Sorry, if I come as rude, but did you even try to look for the other 800 threads saying the same thing.

i thoght of that…but i just wanted people to know what is happening
Depends on how its implemented. I’m waiting for more information unlike other people jumping on the pessimistic bandwagon.

I actually am a fan of pretty much eveything there. You should always be able to sprint without having to use up your armor ability on that. elites are sloppy in matchmaking. i hate when a team that you’re killing halfway quits and its 5 minutes of ambushing the 2 remaining players. also its so terrible if your team quits/is booted in a close game.
I REALLY DON’T LIKE THE RANDOM WEAPON SPAWNS AND I FEEL THAT THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS AGREE. I would absolutely hate random weapon spawns.
Other than that, I feel that these are upgrades that I’ve been calling for, for a while.

so you like joining a game thats already ended?
I’ve already given up hope. I was a little excited when they released news about the Br coming back. But after this game informer issue I have lost all hope. Honestly I don’t even think I’m going to purchase it unless they make some serious changes. Random weapon respawns, call of duty loadouts, and mid game joining is not competitive and very far from Halo. Time to find a new game after 10 years. So sad.

You must of been two when you first started considering that you actually used more letters to spell since (grammar wh***)and you instantly jumped to hate. You must also live under a rock considering thar this info has been out a week and as someone else said, there have been nearly a thousand hate threads. If you cared at all you would have noticed that 343i came out and explained a lot of the stuff you’re complaining about. All you are doing is spamming the forum with the same complaints as a 100 other people. And i dont care if you report me, i need a break from this forum, all these threads are getting repetitive.

We had load outs in Reach, its not going to be spawning with any weapon like a power weapon, its going to be more about preferences like starting with a DMR or a BR. And the weapon spawns aren’t going to be random, Frankie said they will be systematic drop pods.
I think to many people are jumping to conclusions to fast. Wait until we see some developer videos of gameplay, then make whatever decision you want. But as for now it is to early to decide in my opinion.
As pointed out earlier: these features were in the PC versions of CE and Halo 2. In fact, I’m pretty sure if the bandwidth was large enough for Xbox Live these features would have been in Halo 2 for its original release.
The primary thing that could be compared to Call of Duty is modified load outs. I am curious how the ‘random weapons spawns’ is going to work… Perhaps there are preset locations where power weapons arrive, and we simply wouldn’t be able to predict the types of power weapons would show.
I’m actually somewhat excited by this prospect… Map control would still be in effect, but more tactics would be required to adapt to the power weapons that show up. When I play with my friends, I usually end up controlling rockets and wreaking havoc… with that mechanic in place, I’ll finally have to learn that sniper rifle when it shows.
battlefield 3 has the join in progress option and let me tell you, it sucks so much -Yoink- joining a game that is just ending because you then have to wait at least a minute to either leave the lobby or until another game starts… it’s a horrible concept which will ruin multi-player team games

I’m not a glass half full or empty kind of guy. I see the facts. From what I see no matter how much the community complains or gives valid reasons they won’t listen. The future of what Halo is has already been set in motion. Personally, I don’t see it heading anywhere else other than it’s grave. They’ve lost most of their supporters due to Reach. All that they’re making now is an imitation CoD. Tell you what, I’d rather have the real thing than a knock-off any day.
I think it will be okay as long as you cant join the game after its half over.

But you didn’t see the facts. What you saw is journalism. Their job is to get any attention possible, even if they have to take things out of context, misquote, or jump to conclusions with no reason. Frankie already corrected most of their mistakes and they were all based around the things that you hate.
What’s wrong with joining in progress? Your time is not so valuable that playing a half finished game is an issue. Joining in progress is a standard feature that a lot of games have if you are using a feature that SHOULD be in the game to balance teams as Codifying? Then you clearly have no grasp of the difference between using a popular gimmick and implementing a useful game mechanic.

I think it is a good implement to put in to allow mid-game joining. I’ve had times when most of my team quit and I was just getting spawn killed, and it gets very annoying. Maybe in smaller game types it would be better to leave it the old way, say team slayer, in a 4v4 setting. However in larger game types such as Big team when its so chaotic anyway, I hardly see what the big deal would be if someone could join mid game, it wouldn’t make that much of a difference since there are so many players already.
