The Halo 4 game play we have all seen, and some of those lucky enough to actually play, is not Representative of how the game will be in its final state. Sure its a taste, but its not really anythingto judge the final product off of. Although this seems like it goes with out needing its own thread, many are judging it (good and bad) of this very limited e3 build and the endless threads about how the game is gonna be good or bad for (x) reason have really been bothering me lately.
Currently the number of Primary/Secondary Weapons, Gernades, AA’s and Tack Packages and Support Upgrades are at a very low and limited number. IM not sure whats been leaked and what hasn’t so i wont go into details but there are many more of all these things that have yet to be released. I except with the additon of more of each item in these categories, especially AA’s(Active Camo, Jetpack, Auto Sentry), I assume this game will be much different than the some what contained Halo 3 esque feel it has right now. Infact its the non existence of all these extra AA’s Weapons, TP’s and SU’s that is giving it more of a H3 feel than a Reach feel. Add in these extra factors and we will be seeing a much different game.
Its very hard to judge the effectiveness of a spefic AA without knowing how all the other ones function.
Same goes for weapons, TP’s and SU’s
SO i feel much of this community’s judgement on the balance of everything does not have much bearing until the final product is released. Could just be me tho , what do you all think?

Piss off, what OP is saying is true. People speak of Halo 4 as if they’re positive of exactly how Halo 4 will be on release. We still have 4 months left before its released, that a huge amount of time to make tweaks to the gameplay and change things up

Wrong. You have no idea how game design works obviously. The game goes gold sometime between september 18th and 13th. The game is PRETTY much finished. They are simply polishing, implementing final pieces and just touching up/fine tuning/bug fixing. Frankie has said all of this.

Lemme pull out a few things from there:
> The game goes gold sometime between september 18th and 13th.
Holy -Yoink- I didn’t know it was already september, that just next week. Seriously its still 2 months away, they still have time to tweak things
> They are simply polishing, implementing final pieces and just touching up/fine tuning/bug fixing.
So in other words they are tuning up things and they won’t appear as they do now in the final product huh? Geez, sounds a lot like what I said doesn’t it.
Before you start accusing people of not knowing game design make sure you actually know what they’re saying
The game is not going to get overhauled in the month and a half before going gold. We’ll get small tweaks, but a lot of things are already set in stone.
The games like, a month from going gold. what we have right now is almost identical to what we will receive on the disc. They aren’t going to make a million changes in the limited timeframe they have.
It’s not like what we saw at E3, RTX, and SDCC is going to be drastically overhauled or anything. It might be tweaked here and there, but everything will still stay close to the same if at all.
I don’t get what’s with all the criticism, the OP is right. Sure the mechanics might stay more or less the same, but we have no idea how the game will play with the rest of the weapon, armor ability, specialization, and vehicle sandbox.
The 5sk Battle Rifle that a lot of people are complaining about is very likely to be well balanced with the rest of the sandbox thanks to the Cortana Web.

but haven’t 343i also stated that the build they’ve been showing a pretty old version? we don’t know what has changed from the build we’re seeing and before they started polishing.
my point, what we are seeing in the videos is somewhat inaccurate so things probably have been addressed already but don’t have a stable release just yet (bug fixing), as a reference that MLG comentairy video with a pro and 343i staff member, when they were talking about promethean vision that staff member stated that it isn’t finnished and they’re still working on balancing it.
