As with MP maps grift, only one i like is exile, and only because its so darn pretty :) the other maps where ok just are not memorable for me, there like wizard, playable and you can have fun on them, but would rather play other maps..

And valhalla.. not interested.. where is my fucking blood gulch and battle creak :(

Ragnarok is one of the most popular maps in the game.. and people aren't wrong about it. And amusingly, Exile is probably my least favorite map. :D

Adrift and Haven all day long though. Haven is pretty basic, but it's fundamentally sound. Longblow and uh.. Complex are both pretty okay. Solice has a pretty nice CTF layout.

Nothin is saying "classic" so far. Then again, as well as Valhala works in this game, it's not the Halo 3 map that I remember most fondly either.

Just finished SP, def the best Halo SP of the bunch!...well now to jump into Spartan Ops!! :)
Definitely can't agree. Storytelling and writing may have improved, but the levels are so closeted it's not open like the past Halos. I don't care what story elements keep placing Chief inside of catacombs in Halo 4 but it's getting tiring. And they're re-using the same levels in each episode for Spartan Ops is pure laziness. There not doing a good job of convincing me I should pay for a Season 2.

Almost finished and def have to agree, Halo CE is very close for me, but this game has just come together so well, loving the gameplay and just cant wait to see what happens next each mission i play, Played the first episode of Spartan Ops also and had a blast with my buddies, so much fun :)

In defense of spartan ops story wise it made sense why they returned.. but i really do not hope they do not plan it to often..

soundtrack has some heavy influence it feels from Final fantasy and star wars.

In sp, imo they put too much effort in story telling, maybe in sacrifice for gameplay.
For a fps, the cut-scenes and cg stuff is next to nothing, but the mission design is a step back from Halo 3 or Reach.

Guys who are in the story, like Optimus had probably the best time in their lives playing the sp.
But guys like me who are more in mp and gameplay-mechanics are the ones left nagging around in forums...

Spartan ops is a nice addition, but finding out that the upcoming episodes will recycle maps from the current ones was another punch in my face...

Agreed. I actually would prefer Firefight. Hearing Palmer is annoying, and the "go here and press this button" gets old so fast. Never appreciated it outside of ODST, but SPOPs isn't the answer.

I'm sure season 2 will be different locations and bridge the story to Halo 5, hell season one may have different locations we do have 10 episodes and 50 missions after all :)

I'm very much a story and gameplay driven gamer so i found Halo 4 to be great, and a better experience than i've had playing any of the other Halo's.

Season 2 is already out. I think 4 out of 5 locations are the exact same as seen in Season 1.

oh right.. you watched the ending before you played the game *rolls eyes* do you read the last chapter of a book before you buy it? i was dying to rag you about that but was banned for my Japanese comment which I'm still left confused by :(

I'm not digging up the 3 comments that got you banned, but any one of them would've done the trick. Lucky for you, there were 3, all in the news section.

My merciful nature allowed you to return for the Halo circle jerk, in hopes on your return everyone would turn to greet you and you'd get hit in the crossfire.

Correction: I didn't watch the ending, not exactly anyway. I watched the CG legendary ending, which you should now know really doesn't spoil much of anything for anybody who was totally already expecting something along those lines after reading the books. The actual, spoiler filled game ending on the other hand, gameplay and all, was still a complete mystery to me. So in many ways I still very much entered this game fresh from anything that I would classify as ruining or spoiling the experience.

And, no, it makes no sense at all to read the last chapter of a book, because that is filled with pit falls. Pretty much knowing exactly what to expect from previous Halo games, I kinda suspected the Legendary ending would be a safe watch. The only way someone would be surprised by the legendary ending is if they somehow expected the Chief not to be in it, because they maybe (not sure why) thought the Chief would somehow die in Halo 4 or something :P

Yeah, that's cute, but I just mean in general. It's amazing how easily fooled people are. Heck, it's like they don't even pay attention to Halo's ridiculous radar until it's lying to them.

It's almost as funny as the DMR without bloom (or any dmg drop-off). Infinite range ftw!

I finally found out why I hate the sound of the game.

I used the rocket launcher and found out, that explosions that are 300 feet away from you are almost exactly as loud as if it was 3 feets away.

Furthermore, the sound itself (frequency) is exactly the same.

In previous Halos, distant gunshots and explosions were layered with echos and they were muffeled, making them sound very realistic.
Even Halo 1 respected sound velocity, letting you hear explosions far away just a tad later than you saw them.

All of that stuff, that gives mou MUCH input about the battlefield is cut. Thats why I often feel kind of disorientated in Halo 4.

The sound engineers of 343 are some serious noobs!

I guess this poor sound is why they implemented those stupid grenade indicators.
In Reach I always knew were a grenade blew up. I could tell it by the sound.
In Halo 4 I can even tell with the aid of those retarded COD-incators...
