Does the game display the name of your location like in Reach?
I swear I have the laziest postman, not only does he/someone open my mail instead of delivering in the morning he comes midday.
I just sat throughout the night playing the campaign, and finished it. What do I have to say?
Fucking bravo 343, fucking bravo. :tup:
This campaign was certainly a treat. 343 knows what they are doing and they have revived one of my favorite franchises in a way I couldn’t have hoped any better for. Reach never really did it for me, but this…***this ***feels like a true sequel to Halo 3. As if I jumped right out of three and into this one. The level designs were beautiful, the enemies were rich and full of life, and the plot advanced in a manner that kept me interested throughout. And goddamit, that ending almost brought a tear to my eye. It probably won’t have the same effect on people just coming into the franchise, but for those of you that ARE Halo veterans, just think about all the struggle, adventure, and strife these two have gone through throughout all of these games. Since the very first game coming out, all the way to the final and brilliant climax of this game. They were in it till the end, and so were you as the player.
God I love Halo, and I love 343 for handling my beloved franchise with care, and realizing that the fact that they were given such a tremendous game to work on is indeed a huge privilege.
Long live the Master Chief, for Spartans never die.
Ending sucks.
Your face sucks.
Any first impressions on the game’s multiplayer so far?
Any OP weapons/grenades? And how is the map design?
Bout to hop into it in a minute, I’ll let you know.
From the campaign standpoint none of the weapons really seem op. Foreunner guns are powerful, but usually innacurate when compared to the other weapons. However I’m interested to see how the Forerunner equivalent of the BR/DMR hybrid thing turns out in a multiplayer perspective.
So I’ve dabbled in the multiplayer, and it’s also amazing.
Much better experience than Reach. From the moment I shot at my first opponent I knew that this was dramatically different. Feels very…pure, I guess you could say. Very Halo 2-esque, in terms of the maps and game feel. Which is a very good thing.
Also information is stacked a lot nicer and neater.
MP seems to move at a brisker pace than 3 or Reach. Played 5 matches and everyone of them got voted for Valhalla so didn’t see any outside of that:rofl: . BR seems the weapon of choice, but I was 3-4 headshotting people with the DMR. Pistol works very well too. Feels pretty good. Feels like controls are more precise with the 360 controller…like how Halo 1 and 2 felt, where 3 and Reach I was constantly changing look speed to get comfortable. Grenade foot tosses still work, but the full time sprint keeps it from being too crazy.
Pulled an all nighter on the Campaign. Looks nice, the action is heavy. But it’s not particularly memorable, IMO. I’ll wait for more players to finish and see what they think. New Warthog engine sound SUCKS though, that I’m sure of. Not sure about the game’s score…it’s nicely atmospheric, but it lacks the drive/momentum of Marty’s scores. Music not as hype this time.
Dude wtf, spoilers!!!:mad:
Sounds good indeed. Halo 2 still had the best MP imo.
Most importantly though: Is armor lock in the game?
Because armor lock was the single most stupid thing EVER in any shooter (honorable mention: Gears 2 grenade tags).
But tbh I don’t really like the new vibe I get from this Halo. It just looks like Halo with a Gears of War filter over it. I’ve always liked the fact that Halo had all these bright and lively colors. Yet if you look around you see people violently slamming their balls in someone’s face or people flying off because they just got hit by a rocket to the face.
Guess I’m going to wait it out and check back next month to see what people think of the game by then.
I really Hope i made the right decision buying this game i hope its not another Halo Reach that shit was awful
No, there’s no armor lock. Also sprinting is a default ability now.
Uh, no? I said the ending was brilliant. Nowhere did I reveal any plot material.
Read the part I quoted and tell me that it’s not obvious what happens…
On a positive note, my copy finally arrived. It me or is there no manual? Not sure what to do first campaign or jump straight into MP??
Annnnnnnnnd Halo 4’s server just went poopy, Dominion and Flood are now unavailable.
I just reloaded the game and they’re back up.
weird.
Did anyone get their preorder bonuses? I haven’t received anything via email and there was only a 14day pass to xboxlive in the case :tdown:
Probably on your receipt bro.
Sorry but lol your AV matches your post.
BUT! I preordered mine from Amazon uk and the moment they shipped mine I got an e-mail.
I know you preordered yours too so you might wanna send an e-mail or like Funbag above said, /maybe/ in your online reciept but I doubt it.
There was nothing on my receipt =/
