This is Madness!
This is Heresy!
I'm a massive Halo fan and I know this is all LIES! because Halo is awesome and unique and would never, NEVER, become a CoD clone... EVER...
Oh and to all who oppose this opinion: Reach was epic, shut up...

...Swearing about everything even mundane stuff...that...nevermind. Wait, if you don't care about Halo 4 why the heck are you even arguing about it with that absurd excel comment?SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
God I never thought I'd be taking Halo's side in one of these.
Mostly because the first one wasn't written well enough to be engaging and the second one made regenerating health seem acceptable.
In the days of Call of Duty, (and with Half Life 2 Episode 3 seeming more and more like it's never going to happen) the newer Halo games have been the only Bastian of fun shooters left to blow off steam in for 3 reasons.
First and most importantly no cover mechanics. If you were taking fire you just had to deal with it champ. Run, jump 12 feet in the air, shoot back, something that wasn't sit on your ass and wait for the enemy to reload. It kept a real flow in gameplay and it's fun! Remember that? Of course you don't Modern Warfare killed it.
Second Forge Mode. Halo has always been good about fun multyplayer maps but now you can edit them, and if you're skilled enough you can make a map and gametype that doesn't even feel like a shooter, or anything else you do in Halo. Like Whack a Mole or Grifball or Achievement Hunter Horse. Those are games where the map is the game type.
Third and most relevant to the thread is balance. Halo is the only balanced multyplayer game that exists. There are like 10 weapons and they're all very different. most importantly you never had to unlock anything. All the weapons were available on the maps from the word go.
In Halo 4 it seems like they're taking this away in favor of some CoD-esque load-out system.
And if everything is unlocked from the start then, well one step backwards one step forwards I guess. But if I need to get to level 20 before I can use my god damn DRM (Or Battle Rifle, or what ever they're calling it this time around) then Halo's multyplayer is done.
Oh well, I never thought I'd be sad to lose Halo.

SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Well, Reach had that "Dying? lolnvm armor lock i am now invulnerable and fuck your shield up hueheuhuehuehue" loadout thingy which took the class balance and completely messed it up, while 2 had the BR and CE had the pistol.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:
I dunno how those 3 things got past the beta, everything else in Halo games is always so darn polished.
Man, now I want to play Halo 3. Twas such a good game ;_;
Don't forget that Halo 2 also had dual-weilding Needlers........yeah, that was fair.....Hey, out of curiosity, has anyone taken a look at our new enemy?

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Isn't a major complaint with video games that they keep wallowing in what the first game establishes? Isn't it a good thing that 343 made a new type of enemy to fight in addition to the Covenant?Sirron Kcuch said:
In fact, I'm looking this forward so much. I'm really interested in the new enemies.erttheking said:
And actually, 343 made the impossible:
Halo 4 is actually a throwback to CE
You crash land on a new planet, fight unknown enemies with strange weaponry, with Cortana (again), and probably you're out there to look for survivors.
And at the same time, it feels and looks gorgeously refreshing.
It's awesome.
Promethean guns are in multiplayer, five bucks they are the late game unlocks. The shotgun that can disintegrate you seems to be a bit over powered to me personally because well, there is no other gun in the whole game that can't do that and it freaks me out a bit. Not even the Splaser disintegrates.
There is now like, four + precision weapons. The two human ones, the covie one (carbine's back!), and the promethean one.
So the ancient enemy are skeletons in power armor with their pet dogs and drones, sounds fun enough to me although I can't help but to feel the Watcher thing is going to be a type of support upgrade for some reason.

Sweet Monkey Jesus, what the hell is that? Looks like a cross of an Elite and Vortigaunt covered in armour plating. Probably Forerunner, or something even more ancient.erttheking said:
No, no you cannot. That is classified as a power weapon and must be picked up in game. This was confirmed.Furioso said:
Trailer, what trailer? Was there a new one recently? Have I been asleep for a couple months and just woken up? And if that is security I would to see what the tanks are.Korten12 said:
