It has its similarities, but it's still Halo. It's different, but the Halo's still there.


LOL not really man.



LOL yes really man.


Thats cool. Its your opinion.

But Just compare the numbers. Halo has been dying for awhile now and after halo 4. The franchise has lost many of its lifelong fans, me included.

Its so embarrassing what Halo has become.

I agree 100%. Halo 4 can barely be called a Halo game. All of the classic gameplay elements from previous Halos have been stripped and thrown away. Anyone who doesn't see this is a blind fanboy.

It's hard to tell from concept art, but I hope Bungie will do something awesome with Destiny. There's a lot of potential that I really hope they don't waste.


Halo 4 remains a gun game strafe shooter, which Halo always has been. Through out the franchise's history, I have always been able to change things such as equal starts or random weapon placements, and even loadouts as of Reach. As such, these are not core gameplay elements. Core to Halo is that it is a strafe shooter, defined by its guns. All other things are branches from the center tree. This is Halo 4.

So no, I do not see it. Calling people fanboys on the sole basis of disagreeing with you only makes you look like one yourself.

Saying that Halo 4 is still like all the other Halos just because it is a shooter is a pretty weak argument. I think you fail to realize that Halos 1-3 did not have weapon drops, armor abilities, loadouts, etc. Sure it is still a shooter with Halo weapons, but does that make it a true Halo game in its core? No, it really doesn't. And I'm sorry if you don't realize this, but I hope you have fun spending money on the abominations that Halo 5 and 6 will surely be. Also if I was a fanboy, I would have bought Halo 4 and would be praising it this very second and jerking off to Master Chief. But nice try.

Halo 4 is a -blam!- covered diamond. It has a lot more potential, but 343 is too mentally challenged to make it what it should and can be.

Halo 4 is worse than Reach.


I lol'd hard.


Why?

At least reach felt like a little like Halo.


No, it felt NOTHING like Halo. MP was very unbalanced, the campaign was just a spin-off, and the gameplay in general felt clunky as hell.

To be fair. I dont play the campaigns so I know nothing about that.

Sure bloom and Armor lock were bad but the title update made it better.

I just cant believe you can call Reach's MP unbalanced, but you think Halo 4's is. Thats crazy.

Wait a sec, you're complaining about a game you didn't even bought?
Haha, you guys are crazy.

Not fully balanced, I get some frustating matches on BTB, but Reach's mechanics were just bad.

I never said I hadn't played the game, dickweed. My friend has it and I played it for hours with him until I couldn't play it without wanted to kill myself.

Numbers don't make it a bad game. If they did, Call of Duty would be Jesus.

What they do indicate is a distribution of interests and ommunity. 343i changed the game, and the numbers are actually quite strong, despite what a week-day post-CoD launch count would tell you.

Consider everything that Halo 4 has going against it that Halo 3 didn't, such as actual competition, and no longer being the most popular game series. Competition with CoD is what keeps games alive, but so many games are doing it nowadays the gaming community has dispersed amongst a large number of games rather than going back and forth between two giants.

There are two kinds of games: Call of Duty (the giant) and everyone else trying to topple it. Halo is now in the everyone else catagory. Knowing this, 343i were in essence forced to adapt to the new market to try and stay alive by emulating what the giant did. Thinking a game can stay the same for ten years and compete in the market is hopelessly naive. The entitled gamers who feel "alienated" by Halo 4 are in the vocal minority. Bungie represents a very small portion of the Halo community. Their leaving has a small impact.

But none of that makes the game bad.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

That happened already with Reach.

Actually ODST

ODST was the worst game ever made.

Jeez it's a like a hurricane of opinions in here.
no -blam!- they're opinions. wtf made you sit there and think that pointing out an obvious opinion as an opinion would do anything?

You're right. The unbalanced gameplay makes it bad.

  • 11.29.2012 2:27 PM PDT

it has nothing to do with Halo - its all 343. im willing to bet a high amount of money that microsofts brief to 343 included something about 'maximizing profits', and therefore they plagiarized other popular shooters.
