Whoa there. I couldn't care less about the story behind the game. I just love Master Chief and his iconic one-line shoot first talk later attitude. Noble 6 can suck a fat one.


Noble Six barely spoke and he still managed to have more personality than John. And if you don't care about the story why would you care about if Spartan-III's were expendable?


Because them being expendable affected the gameplay of the Campaign.


How? You still ran around and shot stuff. And hit switches. Lots and lots of switches.

When I think of Halo I see Master Chief--the guy who plowed through Covenant and doesn't afraid of anything. Halo 4 will be better than Reach simply because Master Chief is in it. Players want the Chief. 3 Halo games have come and gone and Chief is no where to be seen. It's like making a Mario game without Mario.

He's an old character anyway - not in terms of his age in-story, but seriously, three games already. I want somebody new and exciting. ODST was a great game, in my opinion, because you weren't a supersoldier (though gameplay showed otherwise...) It wasn't just "DERP IMMA SPARTAN AND THAR NAWT LOL", it was "I'm a soldier, and they are too". Lower deck episode. You weren't at the top of the food chain, and that's awesome.

Again, HOW would a BR get there? You don't come home from work and find a pile of pizza on your table, unless someone with said pizzas came through and dropped them off.

Or the new enemies we will be fighting, what did they do, find a pallet of BRs and think to themselves "Hey now, that guy on that huge halfship is gonna come down here and try to fight us, these look like his, might as well spread 'em out for him."

Is the UNSC going to teleport a BR in right when he needs one? They don't even know where he is, if he is alive, or even have the tech.

So unless its a hub style game (which would leave the game feeling more like Metroid, than Halo), I don't see it happening.


They can make it up, I really don't care about the story all I really care about is the game play. I would highly prefer a rifle in the multiplayer. Please I don't the pistol to be the main weapon

So you're perfectly fine with 343i putting a BR in the game, reguardless of how it got there in the first place, 'just because?'. Granted, I already have little faith that 343i is going to take the game back to it's roots, but good game play doesn't revolve around a single gun being brought back. It's combination of many things.

They can put both in for all I care but I love the BR so I would like to see at least an equivalent of it. Everyone loves the BR, its like Halo's greatest weapon.

Halo 4/5/6 are going to fail.

Fact.


If 4 & 5 fail do you really think they will make a Halo 6? :P

343 already said they'd make a new trilogy, it's not like they can back out now.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

The reason to buy Halo 4 just shot through the roof.

Lmao, Frankie basically said that Reach sucks and Bungie choked on it.

Awesome.

Except if you listen, that wasn't what he said at all. People are reading too much into it.

That's like saying you don't want Link in a Legend of Zelda game, because he's been the main character in all of them.

He's an old character anyway - not in terms of his age in-story, but seriously, three games already.

Anniversary already solidified my faith in 343, but this is even better news. If it's a classic feeling game, things will be looking good.

*Cough* Halo 4 is using the Reach engine. *Cough*


game engine =/= gameplay mechanics.

you know nothing about how a game is made do you?

Great.

Reach was the WORST HALO GAME EVER, period.

I believe that Bioshock and Gears of War were both made in the Unreal Engine, maybe not fully but I know that it was involved in their creation and they are completely different games. So I can see Halo 4 being made in the Reach engine and being very different.

If he was committed to making Halo the way it's suppose to be, AA's wouldn't be in the anniv. maps. The TU would also have been implemented across the board.

Halo 4 would use an entirely different engine, because basically every other Halo game except ODST and Anniversary had a different engine.

You are very very wrong on this. All Halo games have used a modified version of the BLAM! engine.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

"I think now is the time that we should do something new"

Im pretty sure that is what Bungie did, and it turned out people didn't like new.

Because you have terrible taste in games?

Anyway, WulfwoodSins is proving himself to be a massive idiot in this thread. Just about everything he's said thus far has been wrong.
