We dont have any gameplay, but from what we have heard so far, what do you think about 343’s direction with the new triilogy. One consoling thing is that EVERYONE who has played it so far has said that it has felt like halo. And the oh so brief skits of gameplay we have seen backs that up.
I have mixed thoughts, some things related to multiplayer have me a bit nervous but details have been vague. Campaign looks amazing if the concept art is any indicator. Either way, I already have it preordered of course.

But. Why do you spit in the face of everything 343 has told us?
The DMR has a SET RATE OF FIRE. That means bloom is most likely just an esthetic (like the sniper rifle). AA’s. I like them. 343 has learned from the errors of reach. Why on earth would that bother you? Perks? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE? No. I would be disappointed of they were game breaking, but it has been said that an example of a perk is one extra grenade. Thats minor.
EVERYTHING announced, sounds fine to me.
Come at me.
I think Campaign will be epic, just like they used to be
Spartan Ops sure sounds sweet and a great reason to keep playing the game for a long time.
Multiplayer, well, it sure sounds both fresh and interesting, but the lack of info when it comes to network is a big issue. I just can’t stand another laggy halo with host advantage, blackscreen, quitters and blam! like that. Give me dedicated servers or at least let me rent one so I can play without lag ^^

> Anyway, What do YOU think?
All honesty, I see a repeat of reach where all that was good is abused and removed by the minority complaining.
It has upsides:
New spartan models graphics look nice.
Animations are (ever so) slightly smoother.
Elites look badass!
New story.
Over all graphics are slightly better (I honestly didn’t think it had changed much except for the lighting filters).
Spartan Ops sounds interesting.
It has downsides:
No elites in multiplayer.
No dual wielding.
Grunts look hideous.
Hitscan Returns instead of the far superior bullet travel system.
No firefight.
No invasion.
Bad gametypes (so far only regicide but undoubtably more travesties yet to be revealed)
Good AA’s removed (drop shield) and bad ones added (forerunner vision)
It has alot to be confirmed that could tip the scales as to whether or not the game is worth buying or simply just renting:
Forge Improvements?
Arbiter Returning?
Custom game Improvements?
Custom game browser?
Vehicles and weapons still unconfirmed?
Shipped gametypes.
I’m not going to preorder this halo, I was going to preorder reach but the store was out of limited and legendary, Im happy with reach (except TU), and it will take some convincing that halo 4 is worth paying for. I will probably just rent it. I’ll make my decision after more information is released.
