Forge magnets

Leave. Right now.

Everything else about Forge is the same as before, and the maps are much worse than Forge World. But connecting magnets have helped me a lot.

No. Not at all. They removed precision editing and the ability to grab an object from anywhere other than the center, not to mention the ability to zoom. Also, magnets are broken. They only help connect specific pieces to other specific pieces and the placement is god awful. Hell, they aren't even symmetrical on the Large Braces, you have to turn magnets off to line those up.

Technical issues that I barely noticed. Magnets have been very helpful for me.

I did, and as someone who's been forging since the release of Halo 3 and has had multiple maps on THFE and RoosterTeeth's channels, I'm telling you that no, magnets are not done well.

I love the new sounds.


In my opinion the gun sounds in H4 are the worst they have been in the entire series. Sorry.
I my opinion Halo 3 was worst in sounds with a second place for Halo Reach and Wars


I disagree:

-The classic Halo sniper sound is gone, replaced by a dull metallic pop/click, which sounds terrible. (I hate using the sniper in H4 because of the sound)

-Plasma weapons no longer sound like plasma weapons. They have this weird click to them that make them sound like projectile weapons. This was the first comment my brother made when he played the game. It annoyed him within 30 seconds.

-The Human shotgun is reduced to a dull thud, it is almost like they forgot to add a proper sound for it. The old halo shotguns were MUCH better.

-DMR and BR sounds have simply been butchered, they were much better in previous installments. Hearing someone firing one of them next to me actually makes me laugh at how bad it is.

-I will however grant you that the Assault rifle sounds the best it has all series, and is a gun that actually sounds heavy and powerful when fired. Pretty much the rest of the guns sound empty, weak and pathetic.


Just my opinion however, you are welcome to disagree.

cutscenes were orgasmic, like i thought they got real people at the beginning n then it hit me that it was cgi

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Halo 4 quality = 720p
Halo Reach quality = 320p-480p

Kinda small but meaningful to me.

BTW Xbox can't run 1080p

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Convinced me not to buy it

-respect and evolution of Halo's thematic principles

-subtle evolutions of Chief's character (especially through his dialogue in the last scene as he tries approaching the conflict at hand normally at first, and then realizes that he has truly lost this time)

-"AI is more human than the humans"

-"Broken character becomes human trying to save the human character from becoming broken"

-several metaphors and allegories (ex. how Chief's body armor, for the first time, is taken off at the end of the game- symbolizing how the level headed, always calm, damn near stubborn Chief has become human)

Man, I have to legitimately type up my analysis of the story soon. I've been posting this everywhere.

I would like to read that.


I'll make sure to link you to it once I'm done.

All i was trying to say was that the point of this thread is to praise the game, not complain about it. If he likes magnets then good for him. Telling him to leave for staying on topic is just the sort of thing anybody could expect from the flood. Also, magnets can be pretty useful at times, and you dont need to use them. Also, if you are supposed to be famous/popular then how come i haven't heard of you before?

You know who I am.

The campaign was pretty awesome
The AR is actually usable for the first time since CE.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

...but those are washed out by the rest of the crap that renders the entire game completely unplayable.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

I tried mentioning aspects of the game that haven't been covered yet.

The gameplay is a lot of fun and the weapons are all incredibly satisfying.

The armor abilities are balanced well.

You can play the game on Legendary and not have to rely solely on the plasma pistol and a head shot weapon.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Having full Russian translation. The first Halo to do so.
