What's the purpose of the camera zooming out when they boost like that across the stage? Shouldn't it just stay first person?
That's innovation!

So we are only allowed to say:

"OMG is Halo DROOOOOOLsss!!!!?

I said a valid thing, the other franchise will have various game modes, a robust MP mode, meaty campaign, why Im not allowed to say that?

Are you fucking seriously coming at me with that nonsense? In this thread? I'm like their fucking devil.

No. You did not say a valid thing. You were trolling for the sake of trolling. Give me a fucking break.

And no. It won't have a more robust MP package. No Call of Duty has game has had more features on consoles than any Halo game this generation. And the campaign? Laughable. That's just proud ignorance.

So instead of posting in a civil manner you post in a agressive disrecpectull manner?

Instead of proving me wrong, or detailing why you think as a fact that it won't be the case you just call me "prude ignorant"?

Please tell how can anyone have a serious discussion with someone like you?.......

Your post didn't warrant serious discussion and you know it. Did you provide any actual points of comparison in either of your posts? No. You just made ridiculous and bold claims for the sake of being ridiculous and bold.

No Call of Duty game has had more features on consoles than any Halo game this generation. Is there anything like Forge in BLOPS2? A four player co-op campaign? An additional co-op campaign? How about the ridiculous depth of multiplayer options and game modes in Halo? That's not a theory, or an opinion, it's a fact. Forget Halo 4. Halo Reach is a bigger package than Black Ops 2.

And I said it was proud ignorance. I doubt anyone would accuse you of being a prude. Don't be so boastful with your lack of knowledge on the subject if you don't like it.

I was content to ignore your bullshit trolling. I only got offensive when you felt like crying about it. Cry more.

Ooh. Info on the Dominion game type. I like the commentators- they seem to know what they are talking about. It sounds like one guy is a pro gamer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aoJMAMR038&feature...

It's nice to see some new ideas, imo. I like how the bases upgrade their defenses the longer you hold them, as well as how the game changes based on how things are going to keep it more interesting. I not everyone is happy with some of the changes, but I still don't see anything bad going on here. Still looks like Halo to me! Stoked...

Of course it still looks like Halo.. it has Master Chief!

He sounds like a pro-gamer who likes killcams? I lol'd ;) The gametype looks pretty cool though. There are some elements that I'm not crazy about, but it has cap outs, and that's actually fantastic. I do not like the idea of the overshield mechanic very much, but the implementation doesn't look awful. The LMG looks fucking ridiculous by the way.

Edit: out of curiosity I tried to look aplfisher up. All that the internet will tell me is that they think he's a sellout, and that he's shoutcasted and/or provided commentary for a lot of FPS videos.

I'm not a pro-gamer, but I have two minds on Killcams. Why can't a pro-gamer like Killcams? The only people I can see that hate 'em are snipers/campers. Halo isn't Battlefield( and that has killcams too, as you know). The overshields happen if all of the bases are controlled. I think it's a good way to keep the match moving and at least give a shot to the guys getting dominated to fight back. Hopefully it works, but I can't fault them for trying.

As far as the "pro" goes, I watched a couple vids by those guys and they definitely take note of the design elements in the maps, and one of them references MLG a number of times, so I'm guessing. He's had a lot of good things to say for the balancing and what-not, so I find that reassuring.

People have always had misgivings/fights over every new Halo games changes( good thing, IMO). I'm not shocked here...

edit: shoutcasted? I don't know much about the pro-scene- don't have the time I used to :(

Does participating in MLG make you pro? I'm a bit confused. It's a term that gets thrown around fairly loosely these days.

Play-by-play commentary. And I was just curious. It really does get thrown out there a lot, and there doesn't seem to be much distinction between amateur "cyber-athletes" and pros anymore.

Killcams hand out location information that you should not be privy to. This has nothing to do with sniping/camping. First person killcams are the worst.

It just seems like the overshield mechanic is yet another handicap. I do not like games that build in handicaps.

Those observations aren't even that special, honestly. They're only remarkable because most people are so fucking clueless. That just tells me that they actually play games.

They don't bother me at all :P I suppose if you are playing "pro"? How are kill cams Detrimental unless they reveal a sniping position? Sure it gives some info on their loadouts and tactics, but the up side is that people can learn faster, making for better/more competitive matches. Beyond that, it's showing what happened( i think), not what's happening. different games handle it differently, which does make a difference. It's mostly a non-issue for me, although it does look like these additions are geared toward speeding up the gameplay.

I actually don't mind getting my ass handed to me( as long as I'm not dieing right on spawn- that drives me nuts)- it makes me a better player. I will always take a close game over a one-sided one, though...

I'm not crazy about Handicaps, but one-sided games suuuuck. I don't like auto-balancing in match either, so maybe this will help.

But they are notable because we don't seem to get that much consideration from most preview/reviewers. It makes me consider his opinion more, much as I do yours for shooters as you seem to get in-depth with them. I've been playing shooters for a while, but I don't spend as much time digging as others do...

I want to reply to more of that, but I'm posting from my phone and I don't feel like doing multiple quotes (because I'm lazy). I don't disagree that their commentary is better than average. I just think that says a lot about gaming press. Even some of the most enthusiastic journalists aren't very well informed.. or good at games :D

The killcam stuff may well be stuff that I just can't abide, but you can. Along with killstreaks and wallhacks. :)

You can really see how sprint stacked with other AA changes things dramatically. I can see how this might limit the number of arena style stuff in the game. Maybe lockout wouldn't work at all with Halo 4 AA. That's a bit of a bummer but you can already tell that larger maps appear to have a quicker pacing now.

At least the "wallhacks" are designed and balanced for the game ;)

Yeah, when you give hacks to everyone, they're balanced! There's supposedly (I haven't seen this confirmed yet) a perk that shows you the location of your killer after you spawn. That's even more offensive to me than the wallhack or the killcam.

Hell, that's one of the worst perk concepts I've heard of in any game period. I hope it's misinformation.

Yeah, I've actually heard that one too. I definitely find it dubious- can't say I like it. Called revenge or something.

From what I understand is that they give you cues if someone can see you. I'm holding out hope that they at least handling it with care...

It only works for some seconds after you spawned. Of course it doesn't show you where you have to go all the time ;)
