Subject: First Halo 4 Gameplay! The BR IS CONFIRMED! - 343 Industries

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I looked on the screen and didn't see any icons for AA's like you see in Reach, so either they're gone, have been replaced, or Sprint is simply a default ability for everyone.

The thing about "perks" and "custom loadouts" sounds eerily like CoD. I hate the CoD perk concept (whoever plays the longest gets the best guns, armor, etc) and if this is true then Halo MM will be unplayable by long-term fans of the franchise.

If the gameplay is faster paced and more intense than Reach then fine be me, as long as it plays like Halo. But what I see is 343i trying to compete too hard with other shooters rather than trying to keep the good ol' classic Halo feel. It's a shame to see something as awesome as Halo become yet another carbon copy of CoD, and I hope that when the game is released, we'll be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed by what 343i has done.

I'm still getting it. I'm a huge Halo fan and I won't pass up the next installment just because the MM is different. I don't want to use the "adapt" argument because that isn't fair, you shouldn't drastically change the feel of each successive installment. However, regardless of what they've done, I'll still love Halo.

looks like AA's didn't stay on reach and get glassed like everything else.

look at that pack on his back.


If you watch the original teaser for H4, you'll see MC using thrusters on his back to navigate the crumbling ship. I don't think that's necessarily a Jetpack, think more along the lines of EVA thrusters.

I hope.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Wouldn't care too much if everyone can sprint, as long as the rest of the equipment is set up like Halo 3's pickups.

To be honest, I'm impressed (but I can't play the audio because of where I am so they could be talking about nuking the Halo series for all I know :P). A few things look a little odd, but I saw gameplay more similar to H2 and H3 than Reach, which is good to see. The maps are also very interesting and dynamic and I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us.

He isn't talking about the "jetpack." Look lower, you see the actual armor ability cartridge on him.


...I'm hoping thats just a model and nothing more...

Always up for REACH customs!

Spartan-IVs probably exist entirely outside of canon for the sake of letting you have a customizable multiplayer model once again, since unlike in Reach, your campaign hero is always the same old Chief.

I was guessing that MC woke up at a period in time where humanity was able to redevelop and build upon the Spartan Program.

Oh, now I see...

...why is it on his butt? In reach they were in the middle of your back. Perhaps (hopefully) it's just part of MC's new design?

The sprint and melee animations looked very Reach-y, so maybe they're temporary additions.

Built from the same engine perhaps?

The big things I can't stand about Reach, it's so freaking slow and blah.

It's obviously just an Alpha build.

Did you ever see the Reach alpha... the Killzone 3 Alpha... the Halo 2/3 alphas, and any other game alpha these days? If they are only this far in on the animation and graphical department, not much will change.

It's like ten months away from release, chill out.

Its official, halo 4 -blam!- sucks.


You know you'll still play it for hours every day regardless of how bad it is just like you have done with Reach.

  • 03.05.2012 8:35 AM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Looks awesome. The graphics remind me of Battlefield 3

Be prepared to adapt to Halo 2/3 gameplay bad kids. Be prepared.

dont be so sure everything is subject to change dont count the scrubs out yet you know they complain and cry to much.

  • 03.05.2012 8:43 AM PDT

No, they waste time and screw you over if you're going for a simple beat down and end up assassinating the enemy, which would lead to you dying because you cant defend your self.

in addition to customizable loadouts, players will now be able to choose from an unspecified variety of abilities/perks

Not so fast..

Please don't be like CoD, please don't be like CoD.

I liked the video. The BR being back is "meh" (personally I would have preferred a single-shot utility), but it doesn't matter that much. I'm just really concerned about this loadout/perk centered gameplay right now. Looking forward to the Forge video the most.

OMG. Look at the score. 380 to 240. They're adding extra zeroes now...smells a lot like cod up in here.
