What Has Your Average Reaction To News Been?

So far?

Mine have been:

What the ****? Am I reading this right? Why is this in? How is this making a good Halo game, wait what? Nooooooooooooooooooooo.

Mine: “Huh, I didn’t know the same people that made CoD make Halo…”

halo 4 topics are to discuss the actual thing
though this is somewhat related it would fall under flood topics

“lol”

> Mine: “Huh, I didn’t know the same people that made CoD make Halo…”

I know, next thing you know, Halo will be populated with over-competitive 12 year olds with something to prove; hell, they might even have a ranking system put in just for vanity.
ba dum tiss

Why is 343i reading my mind then doing the opposite of what I LOVE about HALO .

Also it cant be worse then Halo Reach was out of the box

There’s so many changes being added, I don’t know what to think.

Mind bogglingly upsetting.

I want to LOVE Halo 4. I really do, so bad. But something was wrong when they announced it along with CEA and for the first time since before H2, I wasn’t excited for a Halo game.

I love Halo. I want it to be fun, successful, and competitive.

I don’t think the direction 343i is going will promote any of these characteristics . . . :frowning:

Well put it this way: when Bungie announced AAs in Reach, I just about flipped. The only thing that could make Halo cooler was Jetpacks.

Hindsights 20/20 but I was stoked at the time.

The only thing 343i has announced that has been a “wow” for me is the idea of Spartan Ops. But to have that, we lose the beloved Firefight . . .

We are hoping you right …

At first a few things were a bit worrisome, but the more I hear, the more I feel they know what they are doing. Like, in hind sight, Sage always seemed a tad uncertain when talking about AAs and balancing them, Frankie and others have seemed a lot more confident.

And really, its the start of a new trilogy, about to be jumping consoles…They need to make these changes to keep up with the competition, so I welcome them…gonna miss Firefight, but I think Spartan Ops will keep me plenty happy…

Disappointment. Anguish. Anger.

I can’t believe their keeping sprint, one of the worst idea’s in reach.

If AAs are ever going to be balanced they need to be treated like weapons, spawning on the map and dropped by dead players.

Yes AA’s as pick ups would make alot of people happy …

Not sure about picking them up off dead bodys .

I wonder what kind of change the detractors are for beyond better graphics? Not that i don’t share some of the worry; Halo 4 is doing a lot of things fans are not used to seeing in a Halo game. Still, no suggestions from them besides rehash CE.

Then we have blind fanboy’s spouting the words “Have Faith” like this is some kind of religion. Then you share your concerns and told to “wait for the final build and then judge or -Yoink- my forums”.

:confused:

Maybe all this hate is unwanted and some are just scared of change/learning new mechanics or 343 is just going to bomb with Halo 4 and stop making Halo games.

So many unknowns. More to come for E3 and beyond.

As for the news, it’s been up and down for me.

I’m definitely expecting the game to be different. I want to see how it works.

Absolute disbelief, that they are re-implementing all the fails of Reach they helped minimalize with the Reach TU, and then basically copying all the stupid -Yoink- in CoD like perks,progression systems, and instant re-spawns and forcing them into a Sandbox shooter in Halo. I thought maybe 343 actually wanted to make a Sci-fi game and the screen shots and initial interviews sounded promising, but its obvious they want to make a military shooter/Halo hybrid.
