NOT INTO THE LONG GRASS!

I would love for Halo 4 to actually feel like Halo CE again.

One way to do that is to make the alien weapons feel friggin' different like in Halo CE. You know, add plasma freeze, make the shields flare up like they did in Halo CE, actually make it feel like the plasma weapons do damage on shields and less damage on health...

Yeah.. I would like the small damage on health/major damage to shields back. Although what do you mean by plasma freeze?

Agreed, it's kinda needed for human weapons aswell. I saw an interview with someone from 343 and they said something like "once people play CE anniversary then hopefull they'll understand abit more about what we're trying to do"...or something like that. So I really do think Halo4 will have that CE FEEL!!

VERY TRUE!

They went deep into Halo CE's mechanics and know exactly what made it so good and how they can apply those mechanics to Halo 4! YES! WOOOT!

Yeah I have complete faith in 343, another thing I hope they remember about CE is the weight of things... like vehicles, remember how heavy the warthog felt? In Halo 2,3 and Reach they made things feel too light and made of plastic.

Yeah I guess... expecially in Halo 2. The guns seriously felt like plastic in that game.

Just realized something...for some reason I remember weapons vibrating your controller muuuuch more when playing Halo CE, enough to where I'm not sure if later Halo games had that vibration.

But anyway... I loved the Halo CE plasma rifle, it just felt so different with the amount of vibration compared to other guns, like I caught the 'this is (beyond) foreign to me'.

Yes!! I was just about to mention the vibration. The plasma rifle in CE felt so much more powerful because of this and so did the pistol. In Reach the pistol is powerful but it just doesn't feel powerful because there's not as much vibration in the controller when you shoot it.

Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

The Warthog is technically plastic. Its made from light weight, super strong plastiod composites that protect against both extreme heat and kinetic force while providing a greatly decreased overall weight, allowing for faster movement.
