Halo reach is better, just saying
Of course you think that... I can tell your someone who disagrees just to disagree. I also like how you edited out the most relevant part of my post when you quoted me.

its a little different
Understatement of the year. It plays and feels NOTHING like the previous titles. There is NOTHING comparable between the originals, and the Halo 4.

"NOTHING"... My "understatement" was just trumped by your exaggeration of the year.

Also, in case you forgot, 2 played different than CE, 3 had different subtleties than 2.
But of course, you already knew that...

It's pretty different but it's still Halo. Anyone who says Halo 3 wasn't vastly different from Halo: CE gameplay-wise is silly

So? If it's not Halo, then I take it that it's Olah?

Halo 3 is very similar.

I'm going to skim through the Reach forums, I should be able to find a few mimic threads.

Also, Halo 4

EDIT: Found it.

Funny, the haters are like a broken record, am I right?
Yep, you're right. I've heard so much hate from the Halo community that I've actually learned to tune it out. Its like white noise.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Nice opinion you have there, OP.

Watch me disagree with it.

*disagrees with OP*

You played both of those right?
Did you ever jump? or walk, or drive a warthog, or fire a needler?
I know dual wielding spikers in CE was similar. Much like how the BR spread was alike in CE. And dont forget the 3 shot pistol in 3 or or how much of a pain picking up health packs in 3 was...

If good looks could kill, I'd be a weapon of mass destruction.

Q: Hey, what did Hitler say to the black jew?
A: Get to the back of the oven.

As a man that holds Halo 2/3 as the epitome of the series, I will say that Halo 4 feels like Halo and is a logical evolution of previous installments. While some steps were taken back (I'm not denying there aren't any) most were far forward.

Reach? LOL. Easily the worst game in the series. Why I played it is due to the fact that the netcode servers in Halo 3 (not to mention population) were abandoned, leaving a shell of its former self.

Reach was awful.

Halo 4, while far from perfect, is a great game. A great Halo game. And more than Reach could ever hope to be.

Here's to 343 for fixing bungie's late mistake (Reach) and living up to the standards of bungie's glory (everything before Reach).

What are these first person words you speak of?

The only points teh puma has seen in this thread going against Halo 4 are the exact same ones he has seen over and over again. He is getting tired of throwing those arguments into the trash because they are always either heavily opinionated by nothing more than simple though, or misguided by ignorance.

Teh puma is probably just gonna leave this forum. Too much moaning 'n groaning over this game.

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

All halos and all shooters within the past 10 years have been clear out area a to get to area b. Your arrogance to change is hilarious, you expect a game to be the same game except with new maps and maybe a new gun or two. That's not how any successful industry works. I'm not saying Halo 4 is perfect, but it to me feels like Halo, much more then Reach, and you were probably one of the people that either started with Reach or started with 3 and hated Reach because it was different. Get your head out of your ass kiddo.

Halo 4 is still Halo. By definition, anything Microsoft calls Halo, is Halo. However, Halo 4 is not BUNGIE'S Halo.

This is now my main account. My former account was xKingGhidorahx. I've been on this site since 2009.

The only thing about Halo 4 that isn't Halo is the music.

Everything else is straight up Halo.

You don't get it son. This isn't a mud hole, it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon.

It is only your opinion. Just because you don't like it and because it doesnt feel familiar to you doesnt mean that is the undeniable and absolute truth for everybody. Express your opinion all you like because it's your right. But -blam!- quit trying to make it sound like it's fact. I liked halo 4 and so did many others.

I do agree that Halo 4 lacked story elements from the first trilogy, and how the drastic transition of artwork really had no clear explanation for being there.But from what I know, these issues could be cleared with some novels or even a new plot from Halo 5.

1. For starters, the artwork regarding the Chief and the Warthogs on "Requiem" should never have changed until after he encountered the UNSC Infinity; He could have gotten his upgrades there. And regarding the "Dawn", it should have NEVER changed; its new look would fit right in the futuristic UNSC ships, but the dawn was from 3 years back, making it outdated.

2. Some of the looks for the covenant are better, but their organic structures are off from the traditional covenant. The Jackals look like raptors and the grunts don't look like grunts (Piranha fish faces); the elites are fine. For the Armors of the covenant, a good excuse is found in those 3 years Chief was asleep. Some could simply say that covenant tech. got advanced from those 3 years OR their civil war (still continuing)may have created a shortage of advanced equipment, as Cortana remarked during the mission "Dawn" that the elites were using low grade technology.And for the weapons, you could say that the covenant decided to mimic human weaponry; The UNSC put up a tough fight against the covenant as nobody did before, so they thought to "Improve".

3. Plot holes for the covenant may leave for new ideas for
Halo 5.

The covenant fought in Halo 4; I don't think it's the whole covenant as thought of in the first trilogy. As you all know from Halo 3, the profits betrayed the Elites; killing them throughout the covenant ranks. Such a betrayal from a holy figure will leave many questions and doubts for the victims, the Elites. After the events in Halo 3, there would still be conflict withing the Sanghili Race with those with no faith, and those who were over zealous; the zealous ones were the ones who reunited most of the covenant. IF the majority of the Elites lost faith, then this explains the low tech ordinance the covenant have due to no access to modern Elite Technology. But if most of the Elites found their faith in the new covenant, then perhaps the Arbiter could be a new character for Halo 5 IF he lost his faith. My opinions is that the "Covenant" are a faction of species, not all of them.

As for the Forerunners, if you watched all the Halo Waypoint videos from Halo 4 than you already know the story. The only explanation for the Forerunners I have to offer are the weapons they have, specifically the Light-rifle, Suppreser (excuse my spelling), and the Boltshot; they are similar to human weapons because human weapons are similar to Forerunner weapons. Didact implies during the epilogue that the Humans prospered from Forerunner technology.

Please respond to this post guys? :D

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

nothing can save the campaign from being a SHALLOW, BUTTON PRESSING, CLEAR OUT THE NEXT AREA, REPETITIVE MESS.So... It's like the past Halo games?

OK correct me if I'm worng, but the game is called Halo 4.


That doesn't make it Halo

Of course, because you clearly know what you're talking about.


Stop it OP.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I guess Halo Wars isn't halo, either.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

This sounds vaguely familiar...

ANYWAYS. Yeah, Halo 4's story and campaign was a bit of a letdown. Gameplay is fun on multiplayer, though, even if it needs a bunch of tweaking.

  • 11.21.2012 4:49 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

Every Halo wasn't Halo. Are we sure there wasn't any Halo before Halo so that CE isn't Halo?

Every Halo game from CE to 4 has the things that make it Halo. Right down to the predictable chunk of older fans feeling that this one isn't truly Halo.

You've been left behind in the dissatified minority OP. Hey it had been a good trip right?

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon—and we had to share the rock!"

-Sgt. Johnson

It's basically Halo 3 with perks and custom classes. It's Halo with some spice.
