Yeah I get that Bungie left Microsoft and all the halo rights and yada yada yada were taken away from the company, leaving the franchise up to 343 Industries... But I'm looking at the recent updates on Halo 4... I'm not liking where it's going.

Halo 4 ViDoc - Composing Worlds

Halo 4 Gameplay/ViDoc

Personally I'm a huge Halo Fan and have been for the majority of my life. Read the books, played all the games and loved them. Looking at what's in development from 343 however didn't really hook me like all the other games/ ViDocs used to.

I'm not bashing 343 or anything but am I alone on this one?

I love the Campaign ideas, but the multiplayer seems to be going in the wrong direction. It sounds too much like COD

Yeah see that's my dilemma too. Personally as a gamer I've played most of the CoD games and liked them aswell but I've always been able to go back to a Halo game and enjoy myself. CoD's cool and all but some of the stuff like customizable weapons/customizable loadouts/permanent sprint should stick with the CoD franchise. It doesn't really belong with Halo

I read the halo 4 in my gameinformer, and got excited. Everything is seeming to be beautiful, especially the campaign. I do to agree that I'm a bit frightened about the multiplayer. I have played CoD and hated them, but not for the loadouts. I feel as if 343 is nearing an edge. I am scared that in say 6 moths their will be players with crazy primary and secondary weapons and newbies will get obliterated buy the experienced players. I do however, like the look of the armour, and I do partially like the spartan point system. I will like it just aslong as skilled/experienced players will not become amazingly over powered. Just wondering, but have they mentioned armour lock? I hated it. Also, what do you think of Forerunner vision. Honestly, I think it will be quite helpful in many cases.

I think, through the custom classes, that Forerunner vision should be available for use if it's short range, maybe 25 meters. I shouldn't go past the boundaries of radar. And no they haven't said anything about Armor Lock.

I love where its going,Even though ive only played Halo for a few years ive played every halo game except Halo 2 and Wars.Campaign and music wise im liking where its going the story sounds great and interesting the music is also great imo better then what bungie had done from what ive seen so far.Multiplayer wise i had never really got into it and when i did i sucked at it and i still do and it was fun playing with friends,as long as its still fun and balanced im good with it.I dont see why people are complainging over every single thing im not saying you are but Halo really does need a breath of fresh air and 343 is giving it just that.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I like it, but the multiplayer has some heavy CoD vibes that are worrying.

This and the fact that you can't play as an Elite...

Straight from the wandering mind of Watson 203

Generally I like what I'm hearing and seeing. Although some of it seems a bit too different, namely the multiplayer or "Infinity" as it's being coined.
I'll reserve my judgement though until I actually play the damn thing rather than shouting at 343i for making Space CoD 7, having a paddy and instantly passing it off as a failure.
I would say I trust 343i with the Halo Universe, but I know of nothing to base it on as of yet so I can't.
