I’m talking about the Golden Triangle
Halo was never truly about even spawns, power-up pick-ups, 1-50, etc.
Halo was an arena shooter when it came out because that’s what was popular at the time. Shooters have evolved and Halo is evolving into something far better.
"The Golden Triangle"
Guns. Grenade. Melee.
The very minimum of Halo gameplay. This is what makes Halo, Halo. As long as these three pillars are in tact, we have a Halo game. And from the looks of it, gameplay is based on the Golden Triangle.
Armor abilities are simply an addition to the gameplay just as power-ups and equipment were. The only difference is that you have to pick up the equipment and power-ups. But once again, that isn’t what makes Halo, Halo!
Call me a blind fanboy if you must. I’m not saying Halo 4 will be great. I don’t know that information. But I am saying that I am open-minded enough to give 343 a chance to show us that these new additions will work. The poele who call us “blind fanboys” are just closed-minded “veterans”
EDIT: Many people on this thread are missing the point entirely.
Bungie has said many times before that during the original development process, that they based the core gameplay on the Golden Triangle. The Golden Trangle is what made Halo gameplay different than any other shooter at the time. Just because many games now use this system has nothing to do with anything.
I’m not saying every game out there is Halo.
What about CoD CoD? Killstreaks and perks. tons of games have killstreaks and perks but that doesn’t make them Call of Duty. Crysis 2 for example added perks and killstreaks. But what makes Crysis Crysis is the nanosuit. As long as it has the nanosuit working how it should, it’s a Crysis game.
Even starts and weapon pick-ups aren’t what make Halo Halo because tons of games had that system before Halo did. The Golden Triangle of gameplay is what set Halo apart from the rest!

Halo is what makes Halo Halo.

Yup.
Hey look I can do it too.

With the information we have right now, yes, yes it will be broken.
> H4 will be broken.
Awesome… you played the game already. How was the campaign?

With the information we have right now, it will be… different. Your opinion just make change seem bad. Especially seeing as how we have no idea how anything will be implemented.
and yet, not only was that triangle wrecked in the first game but since then everybody has been doing everything they can to limit the game to only one of those points.

Fun, Probably the best thing in the whole game. The MM was so broken. They have alot of work to do and things to change.
I spent one whole game choosing my load out after I died once. The Next game I instant respawned and pumped the kid who killed me and still had no shield.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about. The triangle has always worked fine.
What do you do when you see someone? Shoot.
What do you do when they get up close? Melee.
What do you do when they go around a corner? Grenade.
You make no sense.

Have you ever tried to punch a bird in flight or blow up an indestructible object with a grenade?

Spent the whole game choosing a loadout? Sounds like a problem of yours, not the game.
And thats amazing how you ran across the map in 4 seconds. Astonishing!

You make no sense either. Did you even read what I wrote? You use melee when it’s necessary, guns when necessary, and grenades when necessary.

Melee isn’t necessary if you see a bird, guns are you annoying twit.Melee isn’t necessary if you see a bird, guns are you annoying twit. And what do indestructible objects have to do with anything?
We don’t have much info at this point, but people all have different ideas about what we do know. Everyone won’t necessarily agree, but that doesn’t mean we can’t discuss it like adults.
Seriously, there’s so much hate here. Why don’t we all take a deep breath and stop discussing games that haven’t even come out yet?.. So, how 'bout them (insert popular athletic team name here)?
(Related… kinda.)

Yes! Let us all stop discussing Halo 4 on the Halo 4 discussion forum!
Who cares what the pessimists think?
Let them hate Halo 4.
It means I don’t have to deal with them.
In my opinion, Halo 4 is shaping up to be exceptionally better than any previous game.
Looking forward to hours of CG, Forge, a beautiful campaign with the Chief, and big team slayer online!
