Halo 4 - First Look - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-u9ZDFs180&feature=g-all&context=G2898759FAAAAAAAAAAA[/media] The game looks amazing compared to others.

They really shouldn't have changed the armour unless they explain in the story how the armour has suddenly morphed into a different set. The armour defines Master Chief, changing that makes it seem like a completely different character.

I appreciate the hard work they're putting into this, but I honestly got tired of the core gameplay after I finished the second Halo game. Graphics aren't going to change that.

The armor looks a lot cleaner and easier to look at compared to the Halo 2 and 3 armor.

Looks cool, cant wait to see what happens in the game.

343's making this one, huh? Bungie didn't want a Halo 4. Let's see if they run this into the ground.

Looks pretty good, but I still don't know how I feel about this. Halo's one of my favorite series out there, but it's gonna be weird having it someone other than Bungie's hands. Not to mention I feel they shouldn't be continuing the chief's story. I'm honestly far more interested in whatever project Bungie's going to be working on next.

Spartan IVs?! Whaaa? Why would they even consider including something like that. Oh...Halo [I]4[/I]. Spartan [I]4[/I]. I see what they did there. Notice how nobody mentions the compelling reason for including that in the game. Still though, I have hopes for this game. Hopefully they can show us some great new features like what Bungie did Halo 2 > Halo 3.

Didn't they say they were stopping after 3? Can we get something new?

Didn't MC die or something?

tbh the new armor looks bad. I know the game isn't even released yet, but why not make it green, at least? also, when I saw "Halo 4", the word that came to my mind was "unnecessary"

Looks like Halo will be the new CoD once CoD dies evantually

I guess they won't ever port the rest of the games to PC. What a shame, I'm not going to buy an Xbox just to play it. I liked Halo 1 and 2 (even though I couldn't bind anything to certain buttons in 2, yay shitty ports)

I liked the first 3 Halo games enough, so I might give this a shot. Prefer gaming on PC though, aiming is just easier and smoother for me.

[QUOTE=Tacooo;35008461]Looks like Halo will be the new CoD once CoD dies evantually[/QUOTE] Because a new company is making a new Halo trilogy around two years after the last game in the series (if you don't count Halo: Anniversary, which was pretty much a Hi-Def re-release)? Yeah, that totally makes it the new CoD.

A Story Behind the battles between Red and Blue? I wonder how will they pull that off.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;35008606]A Story Behind the battles between Red and Blue? I wonder how will they pull that off.[/QUOTE]Most likely some sort of training exercise

I really love Halo, it's probably my favourite series of games on consoles, and the actual story behind it is incredibly brilliant. But I don't think Halo 4 is going to be as good as the first three were, I just don't think 343 can handle it. A few things that struck me as off in the video were these: 1. Exploring the story of the Master Chief in the game. You're not SUPPOSED to know his backstory! Bungie was going for a slow, mysterious approach for the Master Chief. You're not supposed to know what he's like or where he came from, it's to help you get more immersed, Bungie came out and said that themselves. 2. SPARTAN IVs. This is pretty much not only a blatant disregard for canon up to this point, but is just fucking stupid. Why would they have another generation of SPARTANs? 3. Story for the multiplayer. In Halo. [i]Why does the Red Vs Blue mechanic/TDM need a story?[/i] I hope it's good, but everything 343 has put out indicates that it's not going to be a good Halo game. It might come out as a good game, but I don't think it'll be a worthy successor to the rest of the Halo series. [editline]5th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;35008636]not as green as I remember it from halo 1[/QUOTE] The armor from Halo 1 was the Mark V armor, the armor in Halo 2 and 3 is Mark VI.

It looks nice, but the new Master Chief armory isn't appealing at all.

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];35008144']343's making this one, huh? Bungie didn't want a Halo 4. Let's see if they run this into the ground.[/QUOTE] 343 did a good job on Halo Anniversary with the graphics and sound. Yes I'm aware it's basically just Halo CE with new make-up. And Halo 4 doesn't look bad so we know they have a good artistic team. And since they have played a big part in other media for the game series, we know that they know what they are talking about in terms of story and what's going on in the universe. I think Halo 4 might be the Halo Combat Evolved of 343i. The game that blew everyone's minds and made Bungie go ahead with a trilogy in the first place. I have faith in the new trilogy and I trust 343i with it.

Um, maybe he, ya know, goes back to earth and gets new armor? The armor looks fucktarded anyway, they basically just added a bunch of unnecessary plates and ridges.

If they distracted the player with random tidbits here and there it would take the player out of the experience of saving the world from the Covenant and Flood threats. Now is the time to explore who Master Chief and what makes him tick. 2. Spartans were and are the best of the best soldiers Earth had to offer. Once the Covenants became allies and the Flood no longer a major threat, it's only logical that Humanity rebuild their society as well as any means to protect themselves from another threat. The universe is huge, someone out there has a grudge and Humanity is not one to bend over and take it. 3. It doesn't. But why does it matter so much that it becomes a reason to dislike Halo 4 or distrust 343i? It's an extra added bonus, like Team Fortress 2 RED vs BLU companies. Or the Red vs Blue series that spawned off Halos success and became a success itself. If no one wanted to know why the reds were fighting the blues, then why does thousands of people watch Red vs Blue?

In the books the armor change is explained via nanobots that when not in use slowly start to improve the armor or something similar.

Alll what i want is Covenant and game for pc.

[QUOTE=Takuat;35010073]In the books the armor change is explained via nanobots that when not in use slowly start to improve the armor or something similar.[/QUOTE] Spartan IV(4) is older than Spartan V(5) and VI(6).
