Subject: Will Halo 4 ruin the story, or will 343 make it a great game?

Like a bossss

I'm just wondering what you guys think about this topic, because I've heard lots of people say that Halo 3 should have been the last game, and I've also heard that many people can't wait for Halo 4. So please state your opinions below, because I don't have any idea what the majority of people think about it.

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

I can't wait; I just hope 343i can keep Halo as the interesting game it is and Not simply make more Halo games for cash.
I hope they add new innovations, like in Reach when Bungie introduced Armor Abilities. Except 343i better introduce some new crazy, good elements.

Someone was always going to make Halo 4, at least ex-bungie employees will have a hand in it's creation.

Halo 4 has the possibility to completely ruin halo's future.

Likewise, it can be a great game. Depends how they handle the campaign and if they put stupid -blam!- in for no reason.

Never heard of Black Isle.

Also, not -blam!-ing Grey, being neutral lol. I refuse to judge the upcoming new games or books beyond what information I have. For Halo 4, it lies right in "Could be ruined, could be awesome." area.

Grey is right. Have you even noticed about various devs are in 343i? EA, Pandemic (Star Wars Battlefront series), Metroid franchise (don't remember game company name for that), etc. IMO, 343i will do great job with Halo 4!

  • 08.17.2011 11:54 AM PDT

What is it I've heard... You can have the greatest developer out there, but it doesn't mean the product will automatically be awesome? I've heard that said somewhere. 343 is untested in the game producing area.

Also, I'm talking strictly lore/campaign story wise. Not gameplay.

black isle made the first 2 fallout games. the guy then went to metroid and some of the hardcore fans are assuring me that the levels will be really really good.

I agree with you. Reach pushed some people away from Halo and this will be 343i's best opportunity to bring some of those people back. If they fail then Halo might be an afterthought.

  • 08.17.2011 12:07 PM PDT

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It has the potential to be something amazing. I hear they have level designers from Metroid and some other talents form other companies...I think they can really make this something special. Aside from the design aspect of it...343i seems to really care about the Halo lore, so hopefully we won't have another Reach campaign. Hopefully.

  • 08.17.2011 12:09 PM PDT

If only TT games de Halo 4...

Are we forgetting about Pandemic???!

That company who made greatest video games in 2002-2004: STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT SERIES!

Agreed I wasn't too keen on H3s campaign and they kind of did away with the Mythos...it just felt like something was lacking
so it's hard to say for H4 but the law of diminshing returns could rear it's ugly all too familair head here....

Said companied was slammed by reviewers for the release of their Lord of the Rings version of battlefront.

Like a bossss

Im personally not worried about graphics in Halo 4 (they could turnout amazing or terrible, i have no idea which), im mostly worried that 343 will make halo 4 have without paying too much attention to the story of halo, causing multiple errors in the Halo canon.

First thing, LOTR wasn't made for battlefront style. And it was underrated IMO. I played that game and I think it's good game.

Grey,

Army men? What are you talking about?

yet in every interview with 343i they are ecstatic about the going deeper into the mythos and on the edge of their seats; something i have never seen bungie do.

  • 08.17.2011 12:35 PM PDT

The graphics are going to be decent, I know that for sure, I
think 343 knows what they're doing too.

  • 08.17.2011 12:36 PM PDT

Lol raganok, Likewise I think it's okay. Maybe not super-replayable, but it's fun to pick up and go through the campaign.

Point is, it's hard to see a company and go "All their games are great, and they have no bad days."

but there are companies out there with that good game rep. And i don't see why 343 is getting so much lip since they never made a game together before and everybody loved the maps they did.

I have hope that Halo 4 will be great?

But the story probably WILL suck-ass?...

I'm not saying anything against their ability to make games or not. I'm just looking at what information I have concerning the campaign.
