Its not like I would have wanted to play Halo games at Windows 7.
Well shit, the logo for this can be seen on that rumoured E3 lineup for Microsoft. I guess that thing is probably genuine.
It's not Halo 3/ODST/Reach for PC so I couldn't care less.
Now i'm seriously pissed off! Microsoft has a death-wish if they're going to release this!
Because we all wanted a top down action Halo game and totally not Halo 3/Reach for PC.
God it [I]hurts [/I]to see Halo die this way.
First 4, now this shit.
So, another Halo Wars?
Unless they eventually port Halo 3 to PC I think I'm pretty much done with Halo as a whole, it feels way to dragged out.

One thing though, that image of the Microsoft E3 leak had this game on it. So maybe that leak is real.
I'd rather halo wars, poor ensemble studios
:(
I'm a huge Halo fan, I think I died a little on the inside.
This is worse than Halo Reach messing up the Halo Lore.

If you think Reach was bad stay the fuck away from 4.
Halo 4 was like, the best one since the first according to most sites?

Its really not. It would be alright on multiplayer in they fixed it, but it was pretty unbalanced and it just became frustrating. Plus the campaign was a lackluster.

This looks more like something turn based. And I have to say I'm completely fine with it, if it's at least as good as wars of the shogun.

Lore wise, Halo 4 didn't ruin anything. I play Halo for the lore.

No, but it was terrible writing.
That's your opinion. I loved it.
Most of you guys hate the series anyway. I loved 4

What? Where are you getting this information?
Halo's one of my all time favorite series out there. I still think Halo 4 was complete garbage.
Hell, the regulars at the Halo thread here generally hate it too.

I'm not a Halo fan by a long shot, but it could be WORSE. Could be something like Halo: Spartan Part(y)in' Gamez for the 3DS.
-autemerge broken!!!!!!-

Storywise what was wrong with 4s lore?
[QUOTE=Vilusia;40898831]Storywise what was wrong with 4s lore?[/QUOTE]
Nothing but you can't watch a film with a good story but shit acting, same applies for Halo, good story shit gameplay.
Well no offence to everyone else but the game itself looks pretty good but they probably should have done this as a release in conjunction with halo 3 pc then it wouldn't get backlash.
It had almost identical gameplay to Halo Reach though :V

Why do you hate Halo 4 so much? Yes I agree it was lackluster compared to Halo 3, or even Reach and was a little unbalanced, but it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't say it was that bad as you have been for a while.

Most of the lore problems mostly come down to smaller inconsistencies, admittedly. The intro cutscene has Spartans wearing Chief's unique Mark VI variant when standard Mark VI was still being developed for example. Or the retconning of the Forward Unto Dawn being a Charon Class Frigate.
My main problems come from the story being terrible schlock and the total ruination of the art style and features. The story was lazily written and filled with crap and guff. The Didact was a shit villain, and if you didn't read the three book or whatever between the games you will have no idea who he is or what his motivations are because they are never clearly stated in the game. ANY STORY THAT RELIES ON BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO CONVEY A MAJOR PLOT POINT IS SHODDILY WRITTEN. Bungie's halos had a wealth of lore and started off a wonderful expanded universe, but still kep the story concise enough that a person who just plays the games could understand everything. 343 just fucking through that out the window, even with THE FUCKING VILLAIN. Not to mention when you first meet him, he gives his whole "IM THE BAD GUY" speech and then drops you and leaves... I had no reason to hate him, no reason to want to stop him other than the fact that he picked me up, said he's evil, and ran away. The game just assumes I'd be okay with that.
There's the scene with the Librarian which I am not even going to go into detail about how much I hated it. I could sit here for days typing all of the ways it pissed me off, so here's the gist: You are shoved into a cutscene with a "super important" character, who again you wouldn't know anything about if you didn't know the lore, who over the course of a five minute CGI movie gives you a stupidly vague and rushed litany or exposition to try and get the plot going, then says over the course of human history she pulled the string to make YOU THE ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANITEH before giving you some bullshit immunity-ex-machina to the villain's super weapon before kicking you out the door... Yeah... If you don't see ANY problems there you're far beyond helping.
Then there's the various features of the game if fucking dragged behind the shed and shot. Forge... Ah forge, I loved it! Everyone loved! Everyone except 343 that is. Lets add a broken magnet system where multiple objects have incorrect magnet nodes so items don't line up properly like they're supposed to! Remember when Reach added the ability to click in the joystick to allow for very fine movements to be made? Super useful! Fuckin scrap it! Remember how awesome it was to have a massive environment for forge in with multiple interesting spaces like caves, mountains, an island, canyons, and an expansive ocean all in one place? Lets take some of those space, and cut them up into three, small, difficult to forge in maps! BRILLIANCE! And lets top it all off by adding an annoying as fuck humming noise while in editor mode and fucking up the file sharing system! For more on Forge, this video did it well: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMaKVDEBqoY[/url]
Theater? lol nobody wanted to use that in campaign right?
Firefight? Bah lets just scrap that for a shitty episodic story no one cares about that reuses the same levels from the campaign.
And then there's the art style: sorry but I just had an expansive argument about this before, and I don't want to retype it all. You can review it here though: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1273811[/url]
And believe me, there is more I can say. I could go into the fact that the level design was weak, how I hated the changes to the multiplayer, how Prometheans were easily some of the worst enemies I have faced in an FPS in a loooooong time, how the ChiefxCortana thing was handled poorly for the most part, but suffice to say... I don't want to.
The only part of Halo 4 that made me feel like I was playing a Halo game (ie: that sense of wonder and fun) was the spaceship deathstar trench run segment.
everything else just felt "eh". it sorta LOOKED like halo, but none of the spirit or energy that bungie had in their games was there.
