Who else is depressed about Halo 4?

I certainly am, happily awaiting more information about Call of Halo 4. Confused? Well I'll tell you something. -Before you read, I'm not singling out CoD, I'm simply using it as an example in my belief of 343's pandering. -More armor abilities -I pretty sure there was going to be a gun shop, correct me if not -Sprint for all players, because CoD obviously doesn't have that, if Halo implemented default sprint for all players after a handful of titles without it, it's obvious that 343 has no major issues -Forerunner vision: Call it X-ray vision with lag, so now the armor ability just doesn't make sense. We could sure use X-ray vision today, it's just that it's illegal, it causes cancer, so in the future they have lag? -_- -For the first time in Halo, weapons will have alternating/dynamic spawn locations, which means players will have to remember the spawns of every single weapon on the map and check out each spawn before getting a sniper rifle. -Oh can't forget, SPARTAN OPS That's a great name a three-year old told to try and copy CoD's spec ops absolutely woudn't make. I expected at LEAST a good name, but what? You call it spartan ops? WTF? But, no, I thought the idea was nice. It's just the name. Spartan Ops. Ugh. But once again, it was a nice idea, weekly co-op episodic campaign, not too bad. -*sigh* And right! Armor abilities can now be purchased through the store, we've been doing this all along... every single halo... nothing new, and I don't see anything related to CoD here. -And, John's personality is confirmed to change throughout the campaign. Most of this news is bad news to me, but fortunately not all. Did I miss anything else? [Edited on 05.02.2012 8:11 PM PDT]

  • [quote] -More armor abilities [/quote] Doesn't mean you'll always use them. Remember the Radar Jammer? Yeah, neither do I. They could always remove it from matchmaking, or keep some of them based on playlist/gametype (e.g. Normal vs MLG setups). [quote] -I pretty sure there was going to be a gun shop, correct me if not [/quote] I've never heard anything about a gun shop, link to source? [quote] -Sprint for all players, because CoD obviously doesn't have that, if Halo implemented default sprint for all players after a handful of titles without it, it's obvious that 343 has no major issues [/quote] I'm sort of leaning into agreeing with this. I liked the traditional Halo where there was no sprint function whatsoever. [quote] -Forerunner vision: Call it X-ray vision with lag, so now the armor ability just doesn't make sense. We could sure use X-ray vision today, it's just that it's illegal, it causes cancer, so in the future they have lag? -_- [/quote] It's called Promethean Vision now. From what I've read so far, it seems to be somewhat balanced. Promethean Vision creates pulses (maybe like a sonar) that reveals other players' positions within a VERY limited range. But while doing so, they're basically naked for everyone else to see them. (again, could always be removed from playlist/gametype/matchmaking) [quote] Armor abilities can now be purchased through the store, we've been doing this all along... every single halo... nothing new, and I don't see anything related to CoD here. [/quote] Haven't heard anything about this, link to source? [quote] -For the first time in Halo, weapons will have alternating/dynamic spawn locations, which means players will have to remember the spawns of every single weapon on the map and check out each spawn before getting a sniper rifle. [/quote] Agreed, I don't like it. [b] ---I wouldn't worry as much about the Multiplayer because they can ALWAYS be changed. That said, BR = 5 shot kill. lolwut?--- [/b] [quote] -Oh can't forget, SPARTAN OPS That's a great name a three-year old told to try and copy CoD's spec ops absolutely woudn't make. I expected at LEAST a good name, but what? You call it spartan ops? WTF? [/quote] I agree that a name change should be in order, however, the thing that I like most about Halo 4 right now, is the amount of connections the Campaign has with other media and how these connections are made: Glasslands, Primordium, the Halo 3 terminals, the upcoming live-action series, and even Spartan Ops (which is already tied to Glasslands). [quote] -And, John's personality is confirmed to change throughout the campaign. [/quote] John's personality doesn't change. "The game will explore Master Chief's character and personality in greater depth - although, it does not touch on his origin." We'll just get to know him better as John reveals more about himself as a person throughout the game. (Aside from what we already know via game and novels) Btw, wrong forum, wrong website: [url=http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_topics12_Halo-4.aspx]Click[/url] [Edited on 05.03.2012 7:26 AM PDT]
