[editline]3rd April 2012[/editline]
Yo
From the 5.6 seconds of Halo 4 footage we've seen it looks pretty good.
Apart from the Chief but I've promised myself to let that slide.
[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;35396346]
I find it hard to believe Chief is fighting the Forerunners of all people, they should stay dead they're better that way.
I was expecting something new.[/QUOTE]
He's probably fighting the Precursors or that guy "The Prisoner".
[QUOTE=Zethiwag;35417961]He's probably fighting the Precursors or that guy "The Prisoner".[/QUOTE]
[sp]I'm almost positive he's dead as of the new novel. Like, really, REALLY dead. Forerunner weapons vaporized, dead.[/sp]

Oh, right. I never knew him, an xbox magazine just dropped his name one time.
God, I really need to read primordium and cryptum, these sp tags are driving me crazy.

Neat, Bungie released it separately.

I liked space combat, it would be pretty neat if they could do more with it.

Well, leaving for PAX East 2012! If Halo related anything surfaces at PAX, I will take plenty of pics to post!

I still have fond memories of the Halo: Custom edition maps that included longswords. Mainly because they had NUKES.

Longswords in HCE were OP as fuck. Didn't mean it was fun ramming one into the hangar on extinction and betraying everyone in a 1 mile radius by right-clicking though.
I'm excite.

[sp]I hope so, RTS, FPS, Space combat I dont care if it involves the UNCS Infinity then im interested, after finishing Glasslands on wednesday its gotten me so pumped for more media set after Halo 3, cant wait for The Thursday War I loved the cliffhanger.[/sp]
Speaking of naming games after ships Halo: Spirit of Fire has a pretty cool ring to it, maybe for a book title or something.
[quote]"Spartan Points
Spartan Points is the new currency system in Halo 4. They will buy things such as armor, armor abilities, Spartan Ops missions (see below), and some"
"Spartan Ops
This was probably my most favorite addition I saw. From how it was described, think fo Spartan Ops like Spec Ops from Modern Warfare but with a storyline. They will span out over several months, encouraging players to return to the game. Game Informer said that Spartan Ops will be comparable in scope and size to the in single-player storyline."
"Sprint
So not only is sprint in the game, but it is a standard armor ability. You do not need to pick it up, it will always be available. You do not need to buy it with your Spartan Points, you will always have it equipped no matter what. So essentially, you can have two armor abilities."
"Firefight
Once again, no explanation why aside from a picture caption. The caption read, "Halo 4's campaign is still playable with four players online (in reference to Sparan Ops, ensuring players that Spartan Ops will not replace the campaign coop experience). 343 Industries has no plans to include a dedicated Firefight mode. I'm torn on this, I don't normally play firefight, but I feel like it is a standard necessary feature in the game after Halo 3: ODST introduced it."
"No More Weapon Camping
One the skills that separated veteran players from inexperienced players was the ability to time power weapons' spawns. In Halo 4, this will be near impossible. Weapons drop down in drop pods at random locations around the map. Quoted from the article, "This gives the matches other focal points, and it also helps alleviate the advantage longtime players always used to have over newer recruits; the best weapons are not always going to be found at the same spawn locations." Unless there is a distinguishable skill gap between players, I most definitely do not like this idea."
"No More Respawn Delay
Immediately after you die, by tapping the X button you are sent back into the match. Now let's contemplate why this might be bad. Let's say Halo spawns are... not so great. A skilled player out BRs/DMRs/whatevers a unskilled player. Now that unskilled player can immediately respawn and find you before your shields even regenerate! I understand 343 is trying to speed up the game, but they must understand the consequences of instant spawns."
"Joining In-Progress Games
So to solve the quitting problem, 343 implemented the ability to join games that are in-progress. My question is are we going to have the ability to search for games starting up instead? It infuriates me to join a game at the last possible second, not even offering me the chance to play."[/quote]
Leaked info. Not sure if legit, though.
Source?
Doesn't sound legit to me. "Spartan Points" and "Spartan Ops" are just laughable.
Until they may possibly end up in the actual game.
