So...has anything about the single player portion of the game been made public yet or should I just give up whatever remaining hope I had that there will be a decent single-player portion of this game?

I have no problem with a Halo game having a perk system. That's a Call of Duty mechanic that is actually good. Now if a Halo game starts including CoD mechanics designed to decrease the impact of skill on gameplay (generous auto-aim, killstreaks, "noob tubes," instant-death knives, etc.) that will actually be a problem.
That said, I doubt this game will be good either way. Bungie moved on for a reason.

Just being over-dramatic. It seems like every scrap of new information is about the multiplayer. Not surprising considering it's Halo but I was hoping there would be more single player info out by now.Korten12 said:
I think the difference is in how they implement them. Just anecdotally, CoD auto-aim feels a lot stronger than Halo auto-aim - you feel like your sight is being jerked to your target, vs. minor tracking assist to compensate for the limitations of console shooters. And in Halo, you need to either significantly outmaneuver someone or use on of your slots to carry a melee weapon around to get the melee insta-kills.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
...getting little worked up aren't we? Some people like having choice in video games, spawning every single match with the same weapon can get boring after awhile, is it really that big of a deal to spice things up? Wait wait, I should probably communicate this in the same way you would do this, if you like doing the same thing over and over again with nothing changing, why don't you open up microsoft word and keeping pressing the same button. What's that? That doesn't make any sense? Neither does your Excel comment.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Haha, nice one, but I don't have Excel on my xbox, so I suppose I'll have to buy halo 4.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Also, I didn't see any stopping power in there, though I may have missed it, but if there's gonna be something completely over-powered in there, why won't everyone just start using that?
Besides that, the people making halo 4 probably aren't retarded, so I'm sure they'll manage at least something reasonable.
Anyway, what I was trying to say was that people shouldn't judge the game so definitively purely on the bases of a couple of screens, you know?
Your a little behind OP. All this stuff was at least covered in the GI issue.
But yeah I agree. Halo 4 multiplayer has been bathed in the Call of Duty paint can and left to dry.
At least we got the campaign to, hopefully, look forward too.
Catpcha: make a bee-line.
I swear the thing is gonna start revealing my life secrets...

First one looks like it was ripped off of a Big Daddy from Bioshock.BiggyShackleton said:The first one looks fucking sweet and would make sense for an underwater type Spartan. The second is a clusterfuck.oZode said:Spartan IVs look like they were designed by a 12 year old!
G.I.Joe anyone?
Edit: And totally ripped from Dead Space.
Halo isn't about customization dude. It's about using teamwork (though that part has been unrecognized by a large part of its players) to control the map using power weapons, superior battle-field locations, and skill with each weapon (standard or otherwise) to overpower the other team.Phlakes said:
Not about the person with the quickest nerve-reflex with trigger buttons and the current op'd combo of abilities.
In Halo 2 it was duel wield needle's. In Reach its anyone with any competent use of armor lock, jet-pack or evade and general aim with a plasma grenade or any weapon.Sassafrass said:Well, the only MP I've played "competitively" is 3 and Reach, which seemed pretty balanced to me. Only experience I have with CE and 2's MP is split screen dicking around and two v one LAN matches with friends.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Meh. Counterstrike did it first.
Though I find it ironic that the only way Halo can "evolve" is by directly copying a game series that itself originally copied most of Halo's design and gameplay mechanics (and just painted everything in Tom Clancy instead of Robert Heinlein)
Doesn't surprise me, given how the AAA business works now.
