This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

343i Sparkcast regarding GI article

+Lots of new clarification on the sandbox for Halo 4.

Additional info from different article:

- "Perks" seem to be called "Modifications". Example given is that the author could carry (a few) more grenade(s).

- Plasma Rifle has been replaced with what he personally calls the "Covenant Assault Rifle" which spews "a storm of blue balls", and is described as "incredibly awesome".
Which sounds like the Plasma Repeater in a better form of sorts to me.

- He states the classic "chanting monks" tune WILL in fact be back, after rumours on these forums being concerned it wouldn't return.

I would love to be proven wrong as well, however, it's difficult not to be skeptical about Halo 4 in light of all the information we already have about it.

It all comes down to Gameplay and we don't know how Gameplay will be in H4, yet. I still look to Halo 3 as the best from a Gameplay perspective.

We know how the multiplayer gameplay will work in Halo 4.

I won't mock Halo 4 till I've tried it, and anyone who does so is ignorant and foolish.

That said, I do have concerns about it which I'm hoping will be avoided but that's another story.

- maps were mostly garbage
Maps are being purpose built for Halo 4
- campaign story was a cow pattyThey've got amazing writers working on Halo 4. Best in the industry in my opinion. Time will tell how it will turn out, though.
- slow run speedFaster movement speeds in Halo 4
- gametypes went to -blam!-You'll have to elaborate on this. You could essentially make every gametype that was in Halo 2 and more.
- BR was bad because of bullet travel time Halo 4's BR will be hitscan.
- weapons were for the most part useless or mundaneThis was actually a problem with Halo 2 as well and I believe it's mostly caused by the dual-wielding scheme. Halo 4 won't have this and I'm glad it won't.

Taking all that into account, doesn't Halo 4 look a bit more promising than most are making it out to be? Looks like you'll most likely enjoy Halo 4 more than you did Halo 3.


Halo 3 Movement Speed was just as fast as Halo 2's but the strafing and aiming is not.

Bungie also created H3 and Reach.

I don't see your point.

But H4 isn't going to be better than CE/2, all I ask for is that its better than 3/Reach but it probably won't be, at the very least I hope its better than Reach.

Gonna be fun trashing Halo 2 after Halo 4 breaks all your expectations.

Woah bro. Opinions. Don't spute that as fact. I think Halo CE/2 maps were crap. The gameplay LOL. Halo 3 is nothing like Reach. Reach's hitboxes and autoaim are closest to Halo 2 which is that it's designed for bad kids. It's only the spawning that they got right in Halo 2.

This thread is full of laughs and giggles.

I do agree with the fact that a lot of presumptuous accusations being made in this thread is made from 100% American BS (even if you're not from America).

Bottom line, give 343 some faith.

Every single Halo game was made differently (save for ODST) with a lot of different engine tweaks if not completely rebuilt.

Not sure if it was this thread, but someone called me an idiot for saying that Halo 4 could have Jorge or someone from Noble Team in the plotline.

They said Frankie confirmed it false. Relevant

We haven't even played the game yet.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

How about we wait till after we play Halo 4 before we start making claims as to which game is superior then the other. Till then we can continue our usual chatter about which Halo game that's already out is the best. Its useless to say anything about a game that we haven't even tried out yet, other then reading about whats in it.

Take Brink for example for it was hyped up to be a great game but when people actually played it, people found out that Brink was horrible and broken in many ways that the game prices plummeted so fast. Gears of War 1 was the opposite, it wasn't all hyped up pre-launch but after people started playing it became a hit because they realized that the game was fun to play and it became one of the top FPS shooter games during that time period like Halo 2 was.

Wow, god another cod comparison. Not just the fact of weapon skins, but the artic skin was for pre-ordering cod elite as a founder. Now, halo is using that same skin as a preorder. WOW. Seriously, they must be cod fans to use the exact same skin as marketing.

article

EDIT: Actually, it depends on where you buy from. All of them are gimmicy ranging from Spiderman to a striped BR.

Felt like coming here since this is the only place I can sneak in some Halo 4 discussion.

The premier gameplay demo was nothing short of amazing. It's definately the type of innovation I like. Let me just say I'm still extremely worried about multiplayer and poor maps. I have a terrible feeling it won't play the same. However, just what we saw of the campaign makes me believe this will take the story to new heights.

Looks like I was right about a bunch of things. The enemies are AI and have forerunner guns (I said enemies would include Forerunner AI since it's a shield world).

I believe the AI are likely guarding the Precursor(s) that are in some sort of cryosleep prison just as the Sentinals were guarding the flood.

I think we may have some conflict with both the Forerunners and Precursors and I expect to see the flood back in Halo 5 and 6. Probably somewhere at the end of Halo 5 the Precursors will be absorbed by the flood willingly (after they realize they can not win the fight alone) and evolve them so 343i has more flexibility and can evolve the story.

In Halo 6 we will fight against an evolved flood with precursor fusion and throughout Halo 4 and 5 the living forerunners will be found and very pissed off with humanity. Forerunners will eventually help us and try to stop the Precursors and flood.

Covenant will probably be pawns in the plot, and possibly join the Precursors.

This is just all my speculation for Halo 4 as well as the direction of the story of the trilogy.

I would say if that is the introduction to the new enemy ,then the elite dies , gets vaporised no matter what , I would hate to think that every charging elite gets vaporised ,giving us no chance to battle , i guess we will just have to wait and see .
But i must say we needed something new and 343 have delivered ,
the campaign looks great so far .

I hope when we use their guns, it will be just as effective. It would be a terrible inconsistency to see Elites getting raped by the new enemies but the dropped weapons from the new enemies being underpowered against Elites when used by us.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to potential 2 way battles.
