So what did you guys think of the Halo 4 gameplay demo?

Looks interesting but I didnt like the fact that there is no more health/health packs, Found it funny that those dog things look like the DMC 4 dogs, And the way the elite/sword guys dies looks like how vampires die in Blade. Those arent deal breakers for me but I just wanted to point that out, New guns look cool also.

Ah yes the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Em1MiiqT9A

It was pretty badass IMO. I wasn't happy to see so much content from Reach but hopefully the animations and stuff are placeholders.

What was wrong with the animations?

They were taken straight from Reach. If they aren't placeholders, then 343 is being straight up lazy.

It doesn't matter in the long run, but still.

H: CE - Amazing.
Halo 2 - Revolutionary.
Halo 3 - Decent.
Halo Reach- An epic fail of monumental proportions.

^ what this guy said. except you can't define true halo fans haha, if anything they would have all approved of whatever bungie or 343i did. I like Reach but i didn't like halo 3 nearly as much as everyone 'remembers' it as so i guess i'm not a true halo fan.

anyways, i'm not liking the new enemies for a halo game, reticles look bigger to me idk if thats just me but i dont necessarily like bigger reticles. Even though i like the elites as enemies i dont know why the Chief was fighting one. gunna pass on this game. You guys thought Reach wasn't what you call "Halo" then you guys must be laughing your asses off at halo 4. cause i'm a casual...and shaking my head at halo 4

game looks decent for a game however, but not something i want to see halo turning into. They should have made a new IP and just let Halo R.I.P...

In addition, you see the Promethean Knight attack MC at 4:45 and an elite attack MC at 6:43. Both of these sequences are very similar to the one where an elite attacks Noble Six at the last part of Winter Contingency.

More Reach content right there instead of something new.

That was a cutscene. These are quick time events. They're different.

Even if the 2 attacks aren't quick time events, they're still not cutscenes as they occur in gameplay.

*sigh* Why do you 343 minions always come here?

Go over there if you want to talk H4. Seriously. It's not hard guys.

>Protagonist gets knocked down.
>Enemy reveals their face/mouth.
>Protagonist punches the enemy.

The technical approach may very, but there's hardly any difference in the substance.

On a different note, I liked how the grunts were speaking english again.

I turned into a 343 enthusiast after E3. Before E3, I was at the point where I was going to quit Halo (or at least stop going on Waypoint). I haven't forgotten about 343's sloppy work on CEA...

The original Halo trilogy is over and it's never coming back. True Halo fans are ready for a new adventure.

Halo 4 looks cool, but I fear it will lose all of remaining "halo feel" the Reach may of had. Reach didn't have all of the classic "halo feel" that the original trilogy had, but H4 looks like they are doing away with what Halo once was and making it something completely new. I don't know whether this is good or bad, but all I know is that it won't feel like Halo.

MLG Pros say it feels like Halo, and they are 10x better than us. We'll see gameplay tomorrow, so we can judge for ourselves. It's a shame that the BNET Reach community doesn't like it, but it seems the MLG forums and the Halo Council forums seems to love it. Just goes to show how arrogant the BNET Reach community is.

OT: I LOVE IT!!!

Updating the Spartan when Reach came out.

It (Halo 4) looks like a mash of Metroid Prime and Mass Effect. Why wouldn't I buy that?

Bionical enemies, "Not true halo", or whatever reason, Do you guys seriously want to pay 60 dollars to play the same things in H3? I rather play something new and different, Even if its not "true halo" its still going to be better than armor locking kids on reach
