I loved the map what'sitcalled in Halo 1. Wikipedia, Wikipinedia...? A bit like Narrows.
Gephyrophobia?
Yeah. From what I gather a lot of people disliked it, I really enjoyed it. [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] And boarding action.

I really liked a lot of Halo PC maps, too bad the online was extremely laggy most of the time.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;35017629]Anyone else hoping for a nice remake of Zanzibar? Fuck, man. That's just a great map if only for the windmill. So memorable.[/QUOTE] They did say there were making entirely new maps, I never got that attached to Zanzibar personally, I liked that city map in halo 2 a shitload thouigh
I doubt they would put any remade maps in Halo 4. 343 wants to show that they can live up to what everyone expects of Halo. So they will create brand new maps that they feel will be just as good as the old ones.
I don't mind some old maps too though. Perhaps some classics in the form of free (or cheap) DLC after release?
guess who just preordered halo 4 mofuckaaaas

My only disappointment with the new trailer was the fact that they didn't show any Campaign footage. The mystery is driving me insane...which is probably what 343i intended.

I agree to be optimistic but, I just don't want that feeling were the better player wins to be gone, instead of relying on the best armor, perks and loadouts to win.
quite honestly there probably is no best armor. if 343 was smart (and it should go wtihout saying that they are), every piece of armor would have that one advantage, and then that one harsh downside. the only thing that upsets me about this is the fact that appearance won't be completely free. i think it'd be better if you could have the option to turn off the downsides and advantages on your spartan's armor. this way you'd play just like if you had the default armor on. the only way it works though, is that you can't have ANY armor advantages, and that it isn't selectively turning it off. [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] i'm just saying to please wait and see before making any judgements. at least until there's a multiplayer beta, if there is one.
[QUOTE=KingKombat;35025743]i'm just saying to please wait and see before making any judgements. at least until there's a multiplayer beta, if there is one.[/QUOTE] I know, but the things listed so far just don't sound "halo" to me. I'll watch its development but to be honest its scaring me a bit. Also, a OXM interview with Frank O' Connor said there would be no beta since it takes time away from halo 4, and the release date would have to be pushed back.
well we'll just have to have some faith in 343. it looks like they know what they're doing.
Wouldent this mean we basically played all the spartans? Sergeant Johnson in Halo 3: ODST, (SPARTAN-I), Master cheif and multiplayer component in Halo 3 (SPARTAN-II), Noble 6 and multiplayer component in Halo: Reach (SPARTAN-III) and now SPARTAN-IV's in the multiplayer component of Halo: 4. [sp] Sadly missing the spartan 1.1's from I love bees :tear: [/sp]

I kinda hope they give us something to replace the scarab battles from halo 3. The amount of fun I had trying to get on board [I]without[/I] making the fucker sit down...i think my personal best was ramping a mongoose off a crane, straight into a grunts face.
I love Halo Reach but I had so much more fun with the originals. I remember when I got Halo 3 for my birthday. My cousin and I got all the way to Cortana in one night of playing.

That was my favorite part of the game.
[video=youtube;vVSkv42u9Ls]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVSkv42u9Ls&feature=g-u&context=G2169daeFUAAAAAAAFAA[/video] According to the Info G4TV's halo 4 preview, it says Multiplatform. Until 343i says anything about it, I will not get excited.
I can't see it being on anything but the X-Box. As you said wait for official word. [editline]7th March 2012[/editline] Even if it does come out for PC I am still getting it on the 360, that is where everyone I know will be.
