hi im ethan, i started playing halo combat evolved along time ago and have bought every game between it and halo 4. i have loved every step of the way. heres my opinion on reaches online, when it came out i was expecting to get down to some seriouse stuff, sniping off in corners , flanking the team round the sides and squads of people going of in variouse vehicles to rain down death on the enemy. the reality. running around persone next to me explodes with confette along with the sound of children cheering, first persone to get a power weapon dominates, you see someone ( how every battle goes) shoot abit with your assault rifle run in, you both bash once, the next persone to bash wins. thats another thing, bashing, every new game they say, " you are a super soldier and will make you feel like one ". getting elbowed in the chest when you have thick metal armour with electric shields on, a couple of times kills you. i know its halo but come on i want to see you get your knife and plunge it under there armour. from what i have seen though of the halo 4 gameplay i love. they seem to have incorporated normal weapons alot more, less bashing and it seemed nobody just got a power weapon and destroyed everyone. this is turning more from a mess about for pansies into war game for men. last thing, i know this probably will not happen. but now the games getting more seriouse i dont really want to see any 3rd persone, it drags you away from the game back to reality, it should look how its supposed to look. first persone driving, turreting and assassinations. all of this will will make an amazing realistic hardcore wargame. thanx, ethan
Paragraphs are a forum-goers best friend 
I took my 5, yes I counted, tries to read that brick of text. I hope your happy OP. also I agree
The bashing makes sense though. Even with their armor, youre also wearing BTW, the kinetic force of a spartan (which i believe is about a ton or two of pressure.) Thats like getting hit by a truck (or warthog)
I mean, someone capable of flipping a tank (or a elephant in some cases) should be able to blast foes with their fists.
…I honestly want a gametype now that mirrors dragon ball z. Blasting people into walls and mountains. (relace kamehameha with splazer.)
The second thing i can agree with. I’d like assassinations to be toggled for 1st person. But Id imagine the animations wont be as smooth (1st person assassinations were crappily done in BF3 and Crysis. Or atleast for the 360 version.)

Would a spartan be actually able to flip an elephant though? I mean they could but I always thought that the elephant flipping thing was in H3 so you could just get it up the right way again

im sure its merely a easter egg. It was hysterical the first time i did it and the tip was like “how’d you even do that??” But i always assumed it meant how did i flip it over since elephants are incredibly sturdy.
but despite their size, a elephant is pretty hollow, im sure a spartan of incredible strength could atleast briefly left it a few feet above ground.
Like a mobile jack haha
god they would make the best mechanics
