Not at all. I guess I lost my train of thought and forgot to put down the point of my post. And that was: I don't care about Halo 4. At all. I hated Reach's campaign, and I was pretty tired of Halo's campaign by 3 - although I was briefly rejuvenated by ODST's campaign and firefight mode. The only reason I bought the games was to support Bungie - and to a lesser extent, play with friends.ZeroMachine said:
truth. sadly i've been on both sides of the fence multiple times...Dr Jones said:
however, i do notice a trend in what i like:
most rpg's i don't want them to change much, just continuation of story and such, but in fps's and action games, i do like it when they change it up between each game of the series
well nearly all of halo wars, halo waypoint, and what little i've seen of halo 4. also i'm not exactly ecstatic over announcing a new entire trilogy at once. also there was that one guy who felt that the problem with odst and reach was the absence of master chief. so i'm just going to pretend the series ended with reach and leave it on a high note.Korten12 said:
Halo Wars was Ensemble Studios.cthulhumythos said:
Also little of what we have seen? We have seen about nothing! Sure a concept art trailer, and a CGI trailer, but no gameplay, not even ingame footage. How could you have no faith in them if they haven't even showed anything?
the story of halo wars was 343. and for some reason that teaser has irrevocably turned me away from the series. i feel how they present the chief didn't feel right, they made him like super duper space ninja, whereas i also saw him as a bit of a juggernaut. without bungie, i don't know if it'll capture the halo feel i'm used to.Korten12 said:
edit- double checked the whole 343 and halo wars thing, wikipedia didn't mention them. guess i'm wrong there.
Technically COD has a development time of 2 years, so a Halo every year would be worse. (assuming a short dev time means a worse game). But I am excited for it, I read the first book leading up to it (the others arent out yet) and it seems like it will be a great game.erttheking said:
I'll maybe play it. It's kinda faded from the spotlight in recent years, but call me interested in what will be in that game, so yes, I'll play it.
Until then who knows if it'll be any good.

A space ninja because he was dodging debree? Spartans are highly trained super soldiers. Hell they could be ninja's if they wanted to. In one part of The Fall of Reach book it said they were moving so fast and so stealthy that it was near-impossible to see. Also the MC isn't some slow juggernaught, it just the games never had sprint, in reality he could move extreamly fast.cthulhumythos said:
Also they remade Halo 1 perfectly and Annversiary and the maps are just great. Since 343 is made up mostly of the people who made the original trilogy.
Alright, not sure if anyone's actually going to read this, but here's my two cents about it.
I might try it, I'm going to wait until some people put up some user reviews and see how it is, but I'll probably end up getting it. I'm a big fan of Halo, it's not one of the most thought-provoking games, but it has a decent plot, and I can always count on the gameplay to be near my type of gameplay (except for Reach, Reach was the worst in my opinion).
It might turn out that I'll love the game, but there's only one drawback. In my mind, it won't be part of Master Chief's story.
Halo 3 just seemed so... final. It might not have had the greatest ending, but when I beat it I feal like it's over. Master Chief has won, Covenant are defeated, the Flood are basically destroyed, and the Elites have gotten revenge. (Hell yeah!) Besides that, the friggin slogan for Halo 3 was "Finish the Fight!"
That said, if they actually throw in some backstory and character developement for the Chief and Cortana, I might be able to accept it.

hey, if you feel that way that's fine. i'm not some halo hater trying to show how edgy i am by saying how bland and mediocre it is. it's just not for me. also our opinions on the anniversary greatly differ.Korten12 said:
i dunno, the series just isn't for me anymore.
I'm inclined to reserve judgement as we still know almost nothing about it, and it's still a year away from being released. I will almost certainly play it and I'm confident that it at least won't be 'bad', whether it will be 'as good' as the previous games remains to be seen. TBH I think a more apt question is "why does it matter?" If 4 is a disappointment it's not like the whole franchise is ruined forever, we can just continue enjoying the better games of the series.
Difference with TES and Halo being that in Halo you follow around the same guy, at the same era in the same vast universe. TES has much, much more freedom, with Tamriel, Nirn and no main protagonist for every game.ResonanceGames said:
Besides Halo did have "Halo Wars".
Not that I'm really interested in the game but if they're going to keep making these they need to get some new guns in there.
