It took them 5 hours to finish on EASY? I can and have finishred Halo 3 in 6 hours on Heroic without dying. The games aren't that hard.The Rookie Gamer said:
Really? I can't really see that, but beyond that, this is not supposed to be Halo 4. This is a prequel, not a sequel; making it like the Halo Trilogy in some ways would have undermined its real purpose.MiracleOfSound said:
10 hours is more acceptable. I'll admit I didn't look too deep into the reviews, just browsed through the snippets on metacritic to see if anybody mentioned it; sure enough the only guys who did said it was only 5 hours. My apologies for making a premature assumption. I'll definitely admit that Forge World looks like a pretty damned spiffy level editor.LogicNProportion said:
Not so improved. Although the rocket fight mode is awesome some parts of customization of the rounds feels a little lacking. But the jet packs are awesome and the new forgeworld maps are beyone epic. All the add on abilities like jet pack and strafe and awesomely the clone decoy which is indistinguishable from you (to an enemy) allows for more tactical competitive gameplay.I have a sad feeling they took away a bit too much like the hornets are gone and they did not add enough new vehilces (basically none) (though the new falcon which holds 4 people and has 2 gunner seats is awesome the pilot has no guns so its not supportive of single player pwnage and the banshee is nerfed (snipers can shoot it down with their rifles easily). Also only 2 grenade types. But the weapons are awesome. The new weps are really cool (four shot burst homing sticky grenade cannon and laser beam sniper that hold sustained laser and also a sniper spiker) and the old ones have all been updated in little ways (spartan laser has a small screen the shotguns new model looks cooler the battle rifle was scrapped and its replacement is a single shot headshot oriented gun which is a bit shite but fuck it the sniper is so much more powerful). Finally they nerfed whacking. You have to be really really point blank to whack and its nowhere near as quick and satisfying but the stealth assasination from behind is kinda cool (you slit their throught but I cant see how its better than just whacking from behind and continuing).latenightapplepie said:
wait whaaa? the armor shield lock was easily in the top 2, it was the ultimate rusher for capture the flag and king of the hill type maps, not to mention it destroys vehicles if they try and run your ass over, the invisibility is much harder to use in bigger battles, and speed and jetpack are goodies for any occasionIamSofaKingRaw said:
The closer it gets to release time, the more psyched I become. I love the Halo franchise and REACH looks to be as good an entry as any of the others. I hope the campaign is as solid as the rest of the games. I won't be reading or watching reviews until after I've played it myself because I dont' want any spoilers at all, but between Campaign co-op, Forgeworld, Firefight 2.0 and the multiplayer I know what I'm going to be doing for the next several months. Except for a few days where I'll be playing Dead Rising 2 that is.MiracleOfSound said:Who's psyched? And who's going in at midnight? I know I am, like the true nerd I am
Uhh what? Care to explain?Vykrel said:
I had no idea you were from Cork! That is awesome! I live in England now, but I'm a Cork boy at heart.MiracleOfSound said:
Well, the mulitplayer is by far the best one so far IMO. It's so much faster than the others. Only 11 hours till I get my copy!
