You know what's ruining Halo (not like it has)

Games Other Halo
1

Well with Halo 4 first off wait for 343/frankie to confirm or so with all the -Yoink- you people complain about. Yet this all got me thinking to what really is wrong with gaming, or Halo, or whatever.

Lets go to Halo. But this counts for all games really. Hell even movies, books and music.

It’s not the fanboys. It’s not the haters, It’s not the ones with the nostolgic goggles on. Not the Pro’s, The Noobs, The new comers, The Vets, The young or old. It’s not the ones who play MLG, the ones who prefer Dino Blasters. The Spartans or Elites. Not the Slayer Lords or the Objective Kings…

You know what is really messing us up

The elitist a-holes. They exist in all games. All forms and sizes. Elitists who think there word, there ideas, and opinions are the only way. They live in strange worlds of illisuon in which all intelligent and reasonable arguments against them is shrugged off as “Kiddiy -Yoink-”.

These folks are the ones who if given any power to Halo or gaming would really drive it in the ground. They want want THEY want and not what people want. They don’t know anything about Halo, Know nothing of gaming and should never be taken with respect.

You see sadly the media industry is full of these folks. It’s sad. They always try to blame the supposed failures of an industry or label on others.

Want the truth…

1-Halo is not failing It just has better competition then it has ever had. It made Consoles popular. Did you really expect for no other games to come out with good gameplay. Halo brought in the folks you hate and love.

2-Halo was COD before COD was COD. Listen to anyone on a PC Forum or older then 30 who saw Halo grow up. Most of them do like Halo but will keep saying it was the casual kiddie crap you tag on COD. I mean not like I agree but it’s true.

3-COD copied Halo as much as Halo copied COD. AS much as Halo copied Half Life, Doom, Quake and everyother FPS game you could name. Games copy games. Just because you/I were to young to notice it in Halo:CE doesn’t mean it’s something new.

4-Halo 4 will most likely be a new, fun, fresh new world. It may be so damn fun we won’t even be able to handle it

5-You still have Campaign which looks like a main focus for Halo 4…

6-Spartan Ops sounds like mega awesome sauce. Deal with it

7-At least play the game before buttmadding all over the forums

Peace.

Thats what i keep saying everywhere!! The arrogant fools on this forum who think they are the bees knees (if i may)

A post that actually makes sense? Thank god! This post is exactly what I was thinking when I read almost every single hate message out there!

People need to know something. 343 is not bungie. 343 will never be bungie. Their level design will be of a efferent style, their Easter eggs will be of a different manner, located in different ways than before. People need to expect that with a new company comes a new game. Not the same one the other company made, but a brand new one. Even though it is built off of the storyline bungie has left us with, the game will be created differently than usual.

I cannot believe people are so moved by the news. Halo 4 will be a 100% different experience. Some are still mad that sprint will be in the game. Why? The game is not halo 3. Not halo 2. Not halo 1. Its none of them.

People believe that halo 4 will become reach 2.0. While the game is being built on halo reach’s engine, the engine is heavily modified. When an engine is modified, it is different. It plays different. It isn’t modified just so it can handle a graphics update, but the entire game is updated as well.

People have to remember! Its been a long time since halo ce’s release. (Which had a LOT of influence from Marathon. It still does. You can find the symbol everywhere in that game.) Its almost been 11 years! Of course the game is going to change! That’s what happens to games. Look. Call of duty changed, and its fan base grew. (Although personally, modern warfare made me lose interest). Perhaps the same could happen with halo 4! Finally, I can find a competitive custom game early in the morning like I did when reach was released! Those were fun!

In closing, the game isn’t ruined. You haven’t even seen it, you can’t say its ruined. Just wait for the release of the game, or the beta if they release one, and find out wether it is ruined or not. If you had half a brain, you would play another game. Ever playes a 16 plsyer LAN game with all of your friends on any of yhe halo games? Im telling you right now, thats the way halo was meant to be played! Its a hundred times as fun as matchmaking. My only main worry is for forge. What will it become? Well, thank you op. At least you make sense for.pared to most of the community.

I think most people are shocked at how much chnaged for this game and thats whats making these so called hardcore fans rage but really they just want something to rage about. No one actually knows how H4 is going to play. It could be fantastic as far as we know.

you sir just won the internet. AND you saved me from making a thread like this.

Bump this thing like you would bump your friends hot mom as she’s vaccuuming the carpet bent over in front of you.

DO it. DO it now.

Finally, someone with an educated response to all the fanboy hate halo is getting for the changes right now. Frankly, I don’t care too much about the changes, i just want to see how they will play out in the game. It actually seems better that i can now start off with a br in social now. Forunner vision seems like a really cool way to counteract camping

I became detached from the franchise when Reach came out. I think people of my generation that grew up with Halo just can’t handle the fact that 343/MS is trying to cater to a new audience that never played Halo CE/2 or perhaps even 3. They want to rope in the 12 year olds with short attention spans and daddies with deep pockets. They clearly aren’t bothered by what many of the old generation of Halo fans enjoy.

I bought Reach (and the Reach Xbox) and hated it. So I went back to Halo 3 and switched my playing habbits up a bit by playing new games like Battlefield and Starcraft.

If Halo 4 rocks then that’s awesome. If it’s Halo 2 on steroids with decent hitscan, good host migration, awesome level 1-50 systems, fast gameplay, varied and balanced weapons and everything else I desire then that’d be freakin’ amazing. I’d play that game to death, like I did with Halo CE/2/3…

But if Halo 4 sucks, I’m not particularly bothered anymore. I’ll just do what the haters tell me to do and go play Halo 3 and some other FPS games.

Years ago I would’ve cared about the direction Halo is taking. But trying to get 343 to actually listen to our requests is like screaming in to an endless cave. It’s futile. I’d rather put my efforts and spending power in to a franchise that actually values me as a consumer. Not a franchise dev that pretends to listen and then just says “TROLOLOL Reach v2” in the very first proper announcement.
