Subject: Halo Anniversery and Halo 4, are they really worth the anticipation?

Now recently released at E3 were the trailers for Halo Anniversery and Halo 4. For one, I was wasn't so sure about the Halo remake, but after finding out that it would sell for 39.99 instead of the full 60 and that it would included HD'd versions of classic maps for use in Reach multiplayer, I eased up on it a bit. However, Halo 4 slightly concerned me. Apparently it's supposed to be the start of a new trilogy that 343 is going to work on. So far from the trailer it's going to have something to do with the forerunners and maybe the flood, but even though these are an intregal part of the Halo universe, I really think 343 should have stuck with the human-covenant war and left chief lost in space never to be found. Some things in videogames should just be left where they end. I could be wrong, the game is still far from release. What's your guy's opinions?

I think Halo Anniversary is a great idea, and it looks like a great game. I also really like how they did it. Halo 4 was unnecessary.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

CEA certainly is.

Unreal, isn't it?

I saw people posting like "OMG I PEED MY PANTS" "OMG THIS IS AMAZING" etc. Not feeling it this time.

I'm extremely psyched for Halo: CEA and Halo 4. Sure, I see what you mean on where it should be left alone. It's a risk trying to continue Master Chief. It would be easy for 343 to drift off from the original Halo experience on something that doesn't even include the Covenant... Or will it?

I'm glad they're making another Halo game with an emphasis on forerunner stuff again, it's been missing from the last two.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I think so. I look forward to playing HCEA, again, with updated graphics. Not to mention now that it has co-op capabilities. Good times are to be had with that. Also, the multiplayer. I loved H:CE's maps. Playing on them again will, most likely, be great.

As for Halo 4...so far I think it's worth it. It's the dawn of a new trilogy. I can't help but be interested in what will happen to Chief and Cortana. Two figures that we've been to Hell and back with throughout the Halo trilogy.

I greatly anticipate both, as CEA will let me experience one of the greatest games of all time once more and Halo 4 will continue another cliffhanger ending from the series (though one that was less bittersweet and just downright epic).

are you kidding? The thought of Halo4 and the return of Master Chief gives me tingle in my private area

Yeah, they are changing his armour colour and his code name will be Jeff. But anyway, I don't think that is the actual tag line.

No, his code name is Bond...

James Bond.

His new no. designation: 007.

Well, me personally, am just about done fighting the Covenant. I really hope there is a new threat.

  • 06.13.2011 8:23 PM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Only 2 player co-op.

I was so looking forward to playing it with 3 of my mates. But sadface....

It has been confirmed that Halo 4 will not feature purple.

Same, minus the last part. But im a die hard Halo fan so im excited but i have to ask where Chief get the Jetpack and the Grenade Pistol, and who would he even fight against. The Covenant is in ruins, Gravemind and the Flood got destroyed in the destruction of the Ark. Basically my bet is on either the Forerunners, which i would doubt highly, The Precursors due to The humans driving them to extinction, or did they.... which i think would most likely. Or even create a new race but really?.... :O

Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Halo 4 is the most necessary thing ever made. I guess you can't read.

Hey, it's a big universe.

However, the fact that they announced Halo 4 only months after releasing Cryptum and the fact that the terminals in CEA will be linked with Halo 4 likely means that we might see are first look at either the Forerunners or Precursors...

or both, and possibly fight one of them.

Yah I never quite got why they had to say that. Who gives a damn anyway, we all get that they're trying to say that there WILL BE NO COVENANT.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Since we really only have a CG trailer to go off of, I don't think that we need to think too much into Halo 4 right now. It'll be a trilogy, Master Chief and Cortana are starring, Forerunners are involved, and there's an explosive flare gun thing. That's about all we know.

  • 06.13.2011 8:56 PM PDT

How is this NOT a good idea?!

It's Hazard Time

Well, the maps delivered under the supervision of 343i was great, and I really hope they can make a good game :)
Halo Reach was a major disappointment to me, so I hope to see a Halo that is as epic as they used to be, a game other devs copies, not the opposite ;)

A guy at E3. It might have been Frank O'Connor from 343.

Fingers crossed for Halo CE-esque 3 way battles.
