New in Halo 4 are visual icons that point out which weapons are nearby (similar to Crysis 2 or Gears of War 3, only without the need to hold down a button to scan). This will be useful for newer players who haven't yet memorized where every gun spawns, but it might also serve a deeper purpose, too. "We mark the shotgun for a reason," says O'Connor. "There will be a very specific reason why the icon's there that you'll learn about later."

We're hearing that power weapons may not respawn in at set intervals, adding some unpredictability as to when rocket launchers, Spartan Lasers, and WMDs may reappear on the battlefield. The point of this is to make sure experienced players won't dominate matches by running timed circuits to grab all the best goodies.


Catering to thumbless retards who don't know map spawns.

heres what i think they need to do,
Add ranked playlists into the game and keep the gameplay like halo 2 and 3( but always keep it BR starts no AR starts in ranked)


if the game has armor abilities/load outs in social playlists than that would be amazing for casuals who dont care about rank AND competitive players, casuals can have fun and competitive players can have fun.

I love how about a year ago there was a thread titled "Reasons why Halo: Reach is going to blow."

Play a game, then say it blows.

But Reach DID suck.

From what I'm reading, this Halo is going to be nothing more than a sad CoD clone with Halo graphics.

Always up for REACH customs!

Random weapon respawn timers might be kind of cool (as long as both teams have even timers). You wouldn't have people camping the Banshee respawn if you didn't know if it was coming back in one minute or five minutes.

Well it looks like Halo will be for the casual crowd from here on in.

RIP competitive Halo.


Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.


Oh well, at least all the CoD kids will have no problem crossing over.

Randomness is just what Halo needed more of.

You idiots are basing this off a source which frankly I don't even trust and haven't even heard of. I'm not judging Halo 4 by a simple article, until I see a trailer that's when I'll judge.


There is a video directly from 343 explaining everything, and gameplay that shows AA use (or at least Sprint).

The game still has many months until it is ready for release. Hopefully 343 will pay attention to feedback from GOOD players and fix all of this garbage we're reading that is supposedly being integrated into H4's gameplay.

Now you'll just have people camping the spawn until the Banshee re-appears because they don't know when it will spawn which leads to stale, campy gameplay.

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

Based on campaigns.

Wow, that really does sound like COD

Customise loadouts? Now what, everyone chooses needler, sniper, and PP plus BR? Customising loadouts is a COD thing because COD is supposed to be a fun, casual unbalanced game. But not Halo.

Text on screen is something I am not totally against, but I just hope it doesnt show in campaign.

Random power weapon spawns doesnt sound very good. People will just camp at the spawns forever.

Still, my hopes are up that somehow 343 will make this all work out

I think their should be a specific playlist for customisable loadouts
