Subject: Do you think halo 4 could have been better if...

If 343 had more time to work on it? It seems like Microsoft slapped a deadline on it purely to compete with the rest of Shooter Season 2012, and the game, while I do think it was ok, really needed some work. They could have added a longer campaign, fleshed out spartan ops (it needs out-fleshing) and generally could have added more stuff. What do you think, flood?

I think Halo should have just ended if Bungie stopped making them.

Halo 4 shipped as a Beta, so yeah.

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"

Most games would be better if given more time to be developed.

Including Halo 4.

My Brahman is ready.

Absolutely yes.

It's a great game, but it has potential to be better.

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

You think it should have ended with a plothole-filled campaign with a cliffhanger? Really?

If they didn't remove a bunch of excellent gametypes, and make Forge absolutely CRAP. I would have been happy. Why can't they just bring back Halo 3 custom games, gametypes and Halo 3 forge maps?!

No. They would've just slapped on some more CoD elements to the point to where you couldn't even tell that it was a Halo game anymore.

I think DLC is a pretty cool guy. eh give us new mapz and doesnt afraid of anything.

If you put me in a custom game by myself in halo 4 with my sprint button broken and me spawning with a BR I would think. "Wow this game feels and plays exactly like Halo should." But then the game modes. OH THE HUMANITY.

Yes. Whatever you made of it was the ending. Not them making a couple bucks TELLING YOU.

because people don't want to buy halo 3 twice.

I think Halo 4 would be better if the people that constantly complain about it get off their high horse and shut their mouths for a few minutes.

I feel sorry for you. You'd rather prefer a plotholed ending compared to continuing the series and ending the cliffhanger.

wow.

What I don't get is why everyone says that Halo 4 is a CoD clone. Adding sprint and abilities does not make it a clone. It means the gameplay doesn't stagnate by rehashing the same gameplay over and over.

  • 12.09.2012 1:23 PM PDT

I just wish microsoft would of released halo 4 for next gen that would of been a good place to start it. Then they would of had lots of time to make it better..

I think hes talking about the gametype options and forge looks. Since three the customs game options have got worse and forge more bland.

Personally, I like forge. The ability to actually make a structure without having to resort to bizarre exploits to make objects stay put is just so much better.

There is nothing wrong with an open ending.
In fact I'd rather have that open ending more than any sequel.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

If it had a beta when released instead of a finshed game, I may have loved it. Unfortunately things did not turn out that way and 343i has yet to ship out any of the major feature-adding patches they've promised.

Look at CoD. People are literally paying $60 for the same game and it's doing VERY well.

Look at Halo. The drastic change from Reach to H3 made the population plummet within a few months. Now H4. 343 took what made Reach bad and made it worse. Now the population plummets within weeks.

Im talking about the looks of the objects not the way you forge. Plus Reach forge was at least twice as good as Halo 4 forge.

Halo 3 wasn't a Bolivian-army ending, it was them floating towards a mysterious unknown planet, as the music crescendos.
This is the page you need, man.

Edit: A Bolivian army ending usually implies the characters die in the end. Chief was very much alive in halo 3's ending.

You're absolutely right, but in the books, it's stated that Mendicant Bias wants to test humanity, and he sends John to Requiem. And what about the Covenant? Just because the leaders are dead, doesn't mean the whole Covenant alliance is. There are literally thousands of Elites who still believe in the religion, it's not going to go away because of the fact that they've been fighting for years, deeply believing in their beliefs for decades.

And don't even get me started on the Gravemind.
