Halo 4 your thoughts

[ZeroMachine]

It's a bad idea. And I totally HATE the conversation wheel. Master chief never says anything like what I choose for him to say.

Now I believe you owe me a halo.

My name is John-117, and this is my favorite store on The Ark.

If it sucks, it sucks. No-one has played it yet and for all you guys know it could be fucking epic awesome pie. Personally I'm more looking forward to Halo: Anniversary.

Imagine for a second that Bioware would actually create Halo 4. Dayum.

They did. It was called Mass Effect and was Halo for the extract of intelligent gamers who could read beyond a storyline that was essentially "America [Earth] versus the Russians [the combine.,...collective, or whatever the hell the aliens were called]."

Halo = SciFi CoD, and the slurpers will cock on to the latest release as usual. "Dur, time for my yearly facial by MS!"

Seriously, salmonella only grows if you cook the meat enough, IE, developing the game into something mature that the yesteryear's shit finally fucking dies.

And I was given a warning for this post once, so I posted it AGAIN. Since the moderators seem to think the average poster here is too stupid to comprehend personal attacks versus commentary that is a little more extravagant than their little brains are used to, I posted it AGAIN. Fuckin tossers.

Say what you will about the Halo games, they have a good storyline when you actually indulge in the fiction outside the games. Mass Effect has a glorious storyline, and is way better than the in-game Halo story. But overall the fiction for Halo is more diverse, and there's more of it. If you really boil down to it, Halo IS just humans vs. aliens, and that's been done a zillion times before; but the way in which they did it is different.

Halo is comparable to CoD in some ways, but the gameplay mechanics are completely different. And, yes, the last couple Halo games have more or less reiterations of the same shit. Give me a sequel that is completely different than its predecessor though. I can't think of one.

Comparing anything about Halo and Mass Effect, other than they are both sci-fi and take place in space in the future, seems stupid to me; even if you're just saying that Mass Effect is an extract of Halo, I don't see how. RPG=/=FPS

Also, after reading your posts, I can understand why the mods are deleting them.

Since my original post got deleted, I'll put my reaction in a way the mods can be happy that is filtered for their perception of the typical forum user here:

Halo 4 = Another extraneous game for tossers (happy, mods? I dumbed my extravagant post for your enjoyment). Twats.

We get it. You don't like Halo. Also, don't hate on the mods. They are just here to try & keep everyone happy. That includes you.

I'm not trying to incite an argument here but surely you can see what you have said is inflamatory (spelling?) & would rile people up?

I see your comparison to ME. Which I freaking love too, but it's a very different game with a very different narative.

The expanded Universe for Halo is very deep. We are talking several different story arks with very different characters. This involves books, comics, alternative games (Wars ODST Reach) even the Animatrix-esque Legends.

I know ME has a couple of books. I also have no doubt there will be further titles after 3 is done with. Will you hate on that to?

I'm probably rambling like one of you afformentioned "extraneous tossers", but it always comes down to... if you don't like it... Don't play it. What's so hard to understand?

Please don't respond to people like him. The best thing you can do is report and move on. Don't feed trolls or respond to obvious flame bait.

OT: I'm excited for it. Original? Of course it isn't, but its still nice to know that Halo will still be alive even after Bungie has left it behind. Also, Microsoft has owned the rights to Halo since Combat Evolved and anyone whose ever been to the Bungie Forum in the last 3 years knew that this was coming a mile away.

Bioware? Just..... really?

Bioware?

I kinda think this new Halo will be sort of like Reach was. Set in the same universe, but not really having to do much with the Halos. Otherwise, it would just be the same story over and over and over again. Although I am excited to see who or what the new enemies will be, I really, really hope it isn't just the Flood or the Covenant again. It will also be interesting to see how the Chief is as the sole protagonist (except for Cortana, but still). Before, you had all the UNSC guys. Now, its just him.

Bioware?

guys ill say this again i was tired when i wrote this and i confused biware with bungie sorry for the incorrection plz stop critizising my bad spelling and confusion and just put what you think

 

[Jeffrey Rodriguez]

I can't wait. Really want to see what the new enemies will be in this new story arc.

 

[Nopodop]

I'm really excited but I am unsure about the what the plot will be. What I instantly thought of when I saw the structure at the end of the trailer was 'IMMA FIRIN MA LAZOR!'

 

[Billska]

I think image should be shown.

I'll wait until more info before I actually judge it but it looks a bit meh at best.

 

[Awexsome]

After Bungie earning me as a fan after all they do it's natural reaction for me to get excited for another Halo... but it's kinda surreal that they're not in charge of it anymore.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Halo 4. I don't think Microsoft really wants to ruin their most famous franchise but its possible.

I'm just worried Microsoft will try to pull a CoD on it and release each new release far too quickly. One of the big reasons why Halo has kept its quality so long is its longer development time of 3 years between each major release. Along with that Halo really has run its course pretty well IMO. It was definitely a defining icon of the last decade and had always been a defining face for gaming since 2001 until CoD took off.

Now would've been a great time to let it settle down a bit. Go on vacation and bring it back in a few years after CoD has died down. With the way its releases are going it can't keep its popularity much longer after MW3.

 

[Saelune]

First thought? WTF jetpack? Why does he have it? If he had it always, why did he never use it? He fell out of enough ships to. Did the tube add it? How did he just know he had it then so suddenly? Is that a silencer? A SPACE SILENCER!? I hope its just like...a loudener....

My first thoughts.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I don't know if the 343 studios people are committed to doing something good with the IP, but I do know that Microsoft is making Halo 4 to make tons of money, period. Microsoft would execute Master Chief in a public square if they knew it would make billions.

Hell, I would execute Master Chief for a fraction of that.

 

[blobby218]

they should make a game about all the novels, that would be epic

Here's a $1000. You'll get the other 90% when you finish the job. Good luck getting past Microsoft's ninja death squads. All evil corporations have those you know.

My favorite thing about Reach was no flood.

The biggest disappointment with Halo 3 is the fact that it's all human vs aliens with only a couple of instances in-game of humans+aliens vs aliens.

Hopefully the next trilogy will be light on or, completely devoid of those freaking flood. Couldn't stand those things. I like Master Chief and the original trilogy but I loved how much customization Reach had. Although I was a bit miffed that I got to chose my species preference but not my team preference. Go Blue!

 

[IxiceymanxI]

I would love to see the Cheif land on the unkown planet and have it turn out to be Onyx. He then hears Dr. Hasley through his comm and she leads him to her location along with CPO Mendez and the remaining SPARTAN II's and III's and the rest is up to 343 industries.

How about we wait until the game actually comes out and/or we see some gameplay footage before basing what Halo 4 is going to be like off of a short teaser trailer, hm?

 

[Nouw]

For those wondering if the Forerunners are going to be included, it's almost guaranteed. That portal isn't human or Covenant, it's Forerunner. I'm thinking of a trilogy that focuses more on them, and since they may have gone back in time they may just play around with time. Maybe change a few things.

And since Cortana is going to go rampant soon, I'm wondering how they'll deal with that.

And yet they continue making assumptions...
