You just feel right... all day....

I would definitely recommend reading the Forerunner trilogy books, Phaethon, totally worth it. They are damn good, and you will be glad you did it.

You tried Spartan Ops yet?

Roger.

Ordinance Camping!! The quickest and easiest way to yourself killed!! (or kill others) Yay!!!! :P :P

LMAO! Unless it's directly in front of me...............I'm not picking up shit on the battlefield!

Okay, now that I got that all out, Halo 4. For one moment I actually stopped playing, got up and stared at my Xbox 360 console. The hardware is ancient by gaming technology standards, and yet 343 produced some of the most stunning eye candy on any console release we've seen all generation. If this is what 343 is doing NOW, can any of you imagine what they'll be doing next generation?

Bungie who? 343 has grabbed the horns of this title and is riding bronco. They taken such incredibly bold steps that Halo almost feels like a new franchise, and they stamped a very personal imprint on the game's universe. They have humanized the Chief in a way that Bungie didn't seem capable or willing in the last 3 games. And considering that we're talking about a character whose face is never seen, that's really saying something.

For those not capable of reading between the lines.............the Master Chief is probably being very carefully and respectfully phased out. Just an opinion , but I don't think he will be around by the end of this trilogy. That is not to say that he will be dead as much as his role in the UNSC might change. The story doesn't really revolve around just a few characters (Chief, Cortana, Halsey) anymore, the coming fight will require extra players on the stage, and there are already too many theaters of war opening up for one Spartan to handle.

The multiplayer is growing on me, the sound FX are killing me. The gunfire is so loud on some weapons that you can't hear approaching vehicles or enemies. Banshees have been nerfed, while Ghosts have been buffed. Early players with better weapons are having an easy time dominating the field. One thing that can't be denied, it's hell of alot of fun, weapons and extras should balance themselves out eventually.

Anyway no spoilers, I've just finished the SP and was very pleased.

I especially miss the tunes that played in the background during gameplay in previous games. My favorites are still all of the tracks that were played in Halo 2 (Halo Delta) . In Halo4 this seems to be cut almost entirely.

Definitely the best Halo game I've ever played. I'm so fucking satisfied and pleased with this game. I'm definitely playing this campaign over and over. I love it that much. I'll probably look to jump online and try Spartan Ops by Saturday or so, and then perhaps I'll get on Halo MP and get my ass kicked lol.

Half way through and loving every min of it, music is growing on me also but i do miss the brilliant Marty scores.

@phaeton

3rd?! Noob! :P

What MP modes are you playing?

fantastic game, love almost everything about it :)

grenades... SUCK! there uncharted grenades "if your not standing directly on it your ok"

That is all.

everything about the story was just amazing
Spartan ops is maybe a bit to short for my liking, but it is fun :)
MP (dominance) is fantastic once i got used to the difference in play and speed.

loads outs are great dont know what your all crying about, unhappy with your load out? fucking change it.

Phaethon told me yesterday this game is just COD

People are playing like cowards in MP, the incentives are stacked to play like an ass. But most of all I hate the spawn system. People spawning on their teammates constantly fuck me up. Instant spawning is shite, too. Already had the pleasure to mow down all 4 of them, turning around and 3 of them would come at me guns blazing before my shield regenerated.

I don't particularly like the balance on Big Team maps. DMR is way too accurate for my liking, there is absolutely no way to change positions when 1-2 guys are watching your spot. And don't get me started on these fucking mechs...

@ Grift
The wall hack isnt very useful at all.
It forces you to play very slow, since distant enemies dont show up immediatly, 'cause your kind of scanning the your environment instead of hacking walls; and it messes up your orientation imo. You dont really know whats in front or behind of what...
Plus you can see if an enemy uses it. Your radar shows how a 'wall-hack-wave' spreads.
So you actually know when the camper can see you.


If you want to bitch about armor abilities, then bitch about the regenerator. Truly shitty stuff. It is barely used because it unlocks at level 40 or so, but give the game another few weeks and every asshole will be using it.
I say asshole, because it really is an asshole ability. The kind of armor lock...
