When all else fails...........I dont.

Will this game have a new multiplayer? Think about it, why would it have multiplayer beta coming out if the multiplayer wasnt the same as Halo 3 multiplayer? I hope they come out with some new features for this game, mabye like airstrikes, like Call Of Duty, or some other awards for streaks like that.

I have a hunch that tells me its going to be entirely redone. In a good way though.

owning noobs with my ninja skills since, well, forever.

Im kinda hoping it moves away from the original style of gameplay and goes a little more large scale. I dont have an issue with the way things are now, but imagine a game like halo, but larger in scale. More like Battlefield or Starwars Battlefront .

Yeah Battle Front is one of my favorite games just because of how large it is.

Beta testing for Bungie? That would be ridiculously awesome. Hell, having just graduated, I might just as well fly over there!

Pah, not CoD..
It was fun and all, but Halo has its own game which is (imo) better.
And airstrikes are just being spammed everywhere.

This trailer makes my pants shrink *hint*

We're getting a go at the Beta, so definately.

It will be changed alot, but Its not going to be a 'new' multiplayer. They are just having the multiplayer beta because they know we will be eager to play it, so they are filling our wishes.


Anything to back it up?

You mean like an HD version of Halo: Custom Edition on one of the larger maps like ColdSnap?

KEEP IT CLEAN

I'm 100% sure that there will be new multiplayer for the same reason you stated: why would there be a new beta for an old multiplayer?

But god please do not make this game like Call of Duty. I'm not saying I hate CoD, I just hate the airstrikes and the helicopters and the dogs and the perks. Keep it Halo please...

The slater that has started will cost countless lives.
The slater that has started will create untold story's.
The slater that has started will not end with a bang.
The slater that has started will end with a unheard whimper
in the night.

If i was working at bungie, i would cry out for a UNSC v Elite v Brutes Multi-player with All players starting with a low skill level say play as UNSC troops, medium skill level play as ODST troops and high skill level play as Spartan 2 troops then the best skill level get to play Spartan 3 troops

I mean with more of a dynamic war front system, think really large scale, and forces spawn relatively close to a particular front. if they incorporate a proper dedicated server system, we could potentially see closer to 32 or 64 player matches. I know MS is looking for network engineers for 1000 player servers, dedicate these things to a bunch of 64 player matches, and we could potentially see something 4 times as big as what we saw in Halo 3. It could also be an openworld based game aswell

Like level ups in the middle of large matches, right?

  • 06.02.2009 3:52 PM PDT

i just hope its the same gameplay as all the other halos same muliplayer experience but with new weapons and the old weapons and new graphics.....and online play a little bit better because it gets kindof weird sometimes like the bloodshot (means you sniped him but nothing happened)

It was a HUGE map made in Halo: Custom Edition with many custom vehicles (including flying pelicans!)

that's retarded.. here's a thought. there's this game that's a lot like call of duty, it has these air strikes, and uav's, oh and you can call in helicopters. it's called call of duty. go play it instead.

Do you think there will be more armor variants, or new ones?

perhaps a class based system, your armour reflecting your selected class, which does fit the whole 5 spartan thing. Its starting to sound like a halo based TF2

So you mean like in call of duty how your guys appearance is based on the gun class?

starting to sound? they haven't announced anything. it hasn't started to sound like anything. everyone is just fantasizing. Probably none of this will come true.

  • 06.02.2009 3:58 PM PDT

Yeah. The silhouette seems to reflect the opportunity to use different Spartan's. Considering the various strengths each of the different Spartan's have [from the novels] it seems the multiplayer component will be very different from what we have seen previously. I just hope it isn't anything like COD4; that game is awful.
