Subject: Halo 4 wins Game of the year from machinima

Well, I've been economical with the truth.

It's not saying much when a game gets GoTY from something that's like MTV. When was the last time Machinima actually had machinima?

Also I think 343 or Microsoft bribed them. Halo 4 really isn't GoTY material. It really does say something when the game losses over 75% of it population.
This bribing nonsense really needs to stop, Machinima probably don't even have that money. Just putting this out there, each gaming media probably had a different GOTY, they used weeks to discuss this, and in 'their opinion' Halo 4 was their best game of the year, so they awarded the devs for it. I don't see why people are getting mad over this.

Halo was better before AA were introduced as gimmics

I hate to brake it to you but Halo had armor abilities since CE. Also what's the big problem about them anyway?

Halo CE:
The flashlight the Master Chief uses.
Elites and that group of Flood combat forms use active camo.

Halo 2:
The flashlight the Master Chief uses.
The Arbiter has active camo.
Elites and Grunts use active camo.

Halo 3:
The flashlight the Master Chief and Arbiter uses.
The AI Arbiter uses active camo.
The Brute Stalkers use active camo.

Halo 3: ODST:
The Visor mode.

This is such a ridiculous stretch...that had ZERO effect on multiplayer

That was bad ass. I find it strange that they gave the sniper night vision, but the MC uses a flashlight for all 3 games.

Then you should have made your post a little more clear. When I read it it sounds like you said Halo never had any type of AAs. Also what exactly is the big problem about them? You still haven't said that part about them.

Lag is worse for me than Halo 3
Halo was better before AA were introduced as gimmics
Mantis is highly OP
The soundtrack sucks compared to Marty's music
ODST Firefight > Spartan Ops...even IGN admits firefight was better because Spartan Ops has one unique location...the rest are from campaign/multiplayer...it repeats the same locations over and over and you have no effect to the storyline...you feel like you're doing stuff just for the sake of it
Forge removed the nudge ability where you could hold down the left stick and press RB/LB for more precise forge placement
Fileshare system completely broken

They made the BR a 5 shot weapon and DMR is better at range and killtime making the BR worse.
-_-

That's your walmat connection not the game.
Yes lets just make the same game twice in a row.
Your point? Its still awesome.
That's a matter of perspective. I'm tried of listening to chanting for 8 hours straight.
And firefight is in a different location? And it does effect the storyline? Were not just killing endless waves for the sake of it?
OMG then forge is ruined!
Sure I'll give you that one.

You make it sound like that's inherently a bad thing.


It's not my wallmat connection. Halo4 has terrible lag/hit detection and several of my friends have the same issue. I have almost no lag playing Black Ops. According to speedtest I have 40 down and 30 up, but I actually have better internet than that. I frequently pull host in games. It's a fact that the killcams are -blam!- up and this is the first halo where you can shoot guns and it not appear on the enemy screen a la call of duty MW2 style.

If you clicked on here to ignore my coup, why? Do I look ugly to you? Do I look fat in this dress or what? Jerk.

The hypocrisy in this forum is astounding.

"TWD sucks, VGA's are rigged! How the hell did a little girl get best actress?! How did stupid BURRDURR lands get best shooter?! Why are stupid indie games wasting space as GOTY nominees when HALO could be up there?! They deserve to win!!"

*Machinima gives halo an irrelevant award*

"...Can't you just accept that they won?"

Maybe just maybe it deserved it?

I'll never understand why its hated so much.


Because it's not Halo 3. Don't worry though, everyone will think it's game of this year when Halo 5 comes out.

Name three things Halo 4 did better/improved on, on all the other games in the series. Other than copy Call of Duty.
Bonus quest-You also can't say graphics.


-Brilliant villain
-New weapon sounds are simply beautiful
-Forging itself is also a step up.

There we go, three things.
Except you got one part of that wrong....

Forge, is worse.

It's got the same features as before, + new ones. That is objectively better, unless I'm missing something.

It also plays nothing like CoD.

The majority of The Flood doesn't know what an opinion is.

  • 12.09.2012 10:12 AM PDT

So Says Shadroxon.

Not surprised. Halo 4 is pretty overrated.

It's a good game, but there are games that are simply more deserving of GOTY.
