DOA shouldn't have to be rated M. They just add mature content that adds no value to the game itself to be "cool" or something. It could easily be rated T but they prefer it this way.

Those fighting moves would be so awesome as melee combos in Halo 3...especially since you guys have all the graphics and coding done now *wink wink*. =D

Yes the 360. That's why they had to spend so much time on the HD aspect.

DOA4 is in a lot of ways, a logical evolution of DOA3, but there's so much new stuff, it's hard to know where to begin.


The game sounds like it will be fun. I think any Halo side story would be kinda cool..

But the part i quoted is what gets me.

Now, i can't personally say the game is a "logical evolution of DOA3" but I'm just going by your word. Now, It's just a "logical evolution" which is awesome.. sticking to the basics, and just making the game "evolve" is a great way to go about things.. adding new things, instead of taking things that were previously good away.

You obviously think this is a good game, yet it is just a logically evolution of DOA3.

Now, to my point. Why couldn't Halo 2 be like that? Why couldn't Halo 2 be a logical evolution of Halo.. instead of a completley different game.

Please don't act as if Halo 2 and Halo 1 are the same, or even close. Sure, it has the same characters, with an extended story, but everything else didn't "evolve" they were just flat out changed.

grenades did not "evolve".. they actually devolved..

The strength that MC had to THROW grenades was changed..

The weapons are all different.. some weapons were actually taken out.. but the weapons left in were actually changed in their power and use.

The Weapon Respawn System that Halo 1 had was changed. The Weapon Respawn System Halo 2 has is a lot less balanced than Halo CE's..

-------

Please don't get me wrong.. i believe Halo 2 to be a good game.. but it is far from being a "logical" evolution of Halo CE..

I just wish bungie would take from team ninja's example.. and keep things basically the same.. but just upgrade things..

Bungie actually downgraded many things on Halo 2 just to make the game easier for rookies to come and kill somebody.

The grenade thing was actually for realism. If you toss a grenade, it won't really fly 30 feet. You need to put some force in it. Or in this case, angling. This change actually increased the required skill level to sucessfully throw a grenade. I do wish that Bungie would have kept the weapons, though I can't argue with what choices they made. As for the DOA game... HOLY CRAP! That level looks just like Cairo Station! And good job on Nicole's profile.

SPARTAN-458's unit was preparing for a classified mission on Nassau Station when the ONI stealth ship Apocalypso tumbled into real-space – being carried along in the wake of a freak slipspace anomaly. The anomaly intersected Nassau Station; creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century.

on H2 ... they said we HAD to have a time travel component.


Ah, it all starts to come together now then.



Posted by: Frankie
Bungie had never actually undertaken any kind of game-related expansion of the story, characters or universe.


So, did Tecmo actually contact you prior to the ilovebees campaign? Is that why time travel was required in ilb?



My impressions of DOA4 from Zero Hour:
Posted by: weephun's post Zero Hour game reviews:
Dead Or Alive 4 - wow, just ... wow. Brought me back to the joy of my Street Fighter II days in the arcades. Loved it. The guy I kept beating over and over even loved it. Amazing graphics, tight, quick, responsive control and a very different feel between each of the different fighters.


I would be getting this game even if all the characters were stick figures. The control and variation in fighting was amazing. Can't wait to fight as a Spartan (Nicole was not unlocked at Zero Hour).

The DOA series has always been trash for serious competitive play, but it looks like now I frinally have a reason to pick up DOA4. Looking good so far.

Away from XBOX LIVE until both Doom 4 and Bungie's new game are released. The Flood will consume you.

Yep Good Times, especially for da modders. The FRIGIN MODDERS!!

I'm a huge fan of Team Ninja and Bungie so a female spartan in a DOA series is sweetness.

Thanks people, but crap I have school tommorow. Just when I was feeling happy.

omg what a smart marketing move. and it should be ninja team that is uber luky cuz its with halo they will become popular. now ill know ervytime i play a MC it is someone from halo 2!

if ever am to loose against a week woman with a skirt and i have the spartan i will cry.
I also would have prefered am elite than spartan cuz they look so much better with millie attacks ...AND he could use the sword that would rock. he could like jump with flips plasma -blam!- anyone and did i mention sword???

i hope they keep spawn in DOA4 he rocked!!!!! that would be awsome matchup!!!!

you guys are doing this as practice so you will be good at making halo 3, such as being able to undersand the death kits and how it works before you create halo 3 or Pimps at sea, or something cool ;)
