I mean seriously what is so bad, your not buying the same game. you get an entirely new campaign and story as well as new stuff for multiplayer. but with all the people saying dont make it like 3 i just dont get it.
the gameplay style was fun and worked well for multiplayer giveing it a few small changes would be enough.
I mean look at half-life 2. gameplay was largely simmillar to the original, a few new weapons but most of it was core things from the first and the HEV suit got a few minor upgrades and look how well and how fun the game is and it felt like the same style of gameplay as the original.
The way i see it makeing things too differnt is just trying to re-invent halo every new release. I dont see anything bad that can come out of keeping style simmilar(not exactly the same but simmilar) to previous halos while gameplay stays the same new stuff for multiplayer happens with new gametypes and campaign gets a rich new story.
Halo 3 was my favourite game in history and best IMO. I wouldn’t mind to see another Halo 3 all updated in 2012 but I really would like to see a new Halo game packed with new features with Firefight and all.
I would much prefer to see a new experience over another Halo 3, but that doesn’t mean that Halo 3 was at all bad.
I haven’t heard that many people complain that it shouldn’t be like Halo 3. And I agree, you can be similar without being the same. Theres nothing wrong with being like Halo 3, in fact it should be more like Halo 3 than lets say Reach. Canonically, Halo 3 is a great baseline. Same with Reach. Just using one good thing from Reach doesn’t make the game bad (if Reach is considered bad, which it isn’t IMO). A mix of the pros from 3 and Reach, and some improvements upon the cons, and we’ve got ourselves a nice Halo 4. Can’t please everyone, but staying closer to Halo 3 would please a large amount im guessing.
Have you actually played the first Half-life? Fighting the Xen aliens is completely different from any of the enemies in the second game.
If I was simply blasting Vortigaunts, Grunts, and Xen controllers again with some special forces guys thrown into the mix, Half-life 2 probably wouldn’t have been as epic.
I don’t want a game that plays like Halo 3, I already have Halo 3 for that. No two Halo games have played the same, and I’ll be disappointed if that cycle is broken.
I would like to see much of the “feel” from Halo 3 back in 4.
But still putting in a more interesting campaign, more gametypes, better graphics and firefight isn’t a bad thing
My issues with Halo 3 laid with the single player campaign, I mean it was good, but I didn’t find myself always caring about the story (and I love story), BUT 343 seems to be really focused at telling a good story.

I agree about the story part. Halo 3 did not have a good story compared to 2 and CE IMO, I feel that this is a good change on 343’s part, story.

Third best game in the Halo series according to you.
Halo 4 should be Halo 4. No “point-fives,” and no heavy influence from the other games.
Halo 3 had a lot of good in it that should be taken into consideration and even used to a certain extent.
The grenades were perfect. The banshee was perfect, the Warthog was… flawless. But really H4 needs to be based off of all the good things from previous games (Main Title series Halo CE-3) and then add the innovation that naturally comes with new titles.
