343 has done an absolutely amazing job, art direction and with the engine. I thought Reach looked great but this is really a cut above. I have never been huge on multiplayer but I love the hell out of the campaigns.
 
Hopefully this will be the true successor to Halo:CE.

Looks great, and the new visual design looks fresh like CE did back in the day.
 
Well, generic FPS with boring story, boring characters, bad gunplay and horrible controls.
One of the few games I didn't even enjoy in coop.

It's the same with the Gears of War series, I don't get why they are so popular.

Ugh please ... just stop.
 
Wow, looking absolutely insane as usual. I still can't believe that they managed to get this kind of image quality out of FXAA. I can't wait until my cross country trip in November to visit my old roommate. Going to marathon this. Can't wait.

I'll grant you boring characters. I'll have to disagree on each of the other points.

However, I believe the characters will be more interesting this time around.

If it's so generic....what other games are there that plays the same?

Tell us how you really feel.
 
Fuck that, Halo: CE has some of the best combat and emergent gameplay ever in a shooter.

The first game was perfect because the story was just there to give us all kinds of crazy experiences, but Bungie totally dropped the ball when they put their awful writing to the forefront in Halo 2 and onward. In CE, the gameplay was the focus, in the sequels, the story was.

Which sucks.
 
Uhm, it's not about the graphics...

Explain plz

Edit: Nvm, saw your post. Further discredits your original blatant troll post.
Pretty obvious to see the gameplay in halo is far from generic. Many FPS games do not play like it (if any really), I can understand not liking the halo gameplay type but yeah... just... no. Seriously, no.

I don't get this.

Halo and Gears aren't at all "generic".

So Halo & Gears have bad gunplay and horrible controls? tell us more, it's getting interesting.
 
Generic FPS? The world would be a better place if more FPSs had campaigns like the Halo games with their more open levels, sandbox gameplay and good enemy AI.

At least I get why you aren´t so popular here.

You dislike Halo.
This is a Halo thread.
Why did you click on this Halo thread of which the subject doesn't appeal to you in the slightest?
Why are these things?
 
Reach was a big step up lighting wise; this seems to be a phenomenal upgrade. Good stuff 343.

Yes, Reach was a great looking game for its time, and this one looks just incredible for 7 year old hardware. The visual jump from Halo 3 to Halo 4 has to be one of the biggest jumps a series has made on the same hardware. And I think Halo 3 looked pretty good overall, although there were definitely elements (humans and IQ being the most obvious) that looked subpar even in 2007.
 
This happens every time with me when a new Halo game is on the horizon. I had zero interest, nadda, zip but damn that game is looking so good, just watched last weeks GTTV and I am really excited to play a Halo campaign again. The art style of the series really clicks with me for some reason, I love the brand of sci-fi the universe sits in. Multiplayer I can take or leave though.

They also let multi-player balance affect the campaign which lead to a bunch of chintzy, underpowered weapons. The first is still my favorite.

Halo 4 looks great though. Everything I've seen of the campaign has been solid.

I'm pretty sure trolling is a bannable offense, please stop.

Also, my body is ready

Right. I bet you love Killzone and Uncharted though, right?
 
Not bought any games this year on any platform, this'll be the one to get me back on the Xbox, can't wait.

Also really interested to see what it does sales wise, not sure how the Reach threads went down before launch but everytime I visit a Halo 4 thread all I see is 'I wasn't interested, I am now'

Wonder if that'll be a similar situation with the wider public.
 
I guess I could agree on the comment about boring characters. I can't think of any other ones besides Chief, Cortana and Johnson. Lmao. And I played all of the games. I attempted to read the books but just couldn't follow through with it.

I consider myself a Halo fan (multiplayer aspect anyway) but if anyone in this thread tried to ask me about the storyline I couldn't tell you anything past "Master Chief is in cryosleep" lol.

But the controls and gunplay? On point. Don't know what the comment is talking about. 4 shotting always feels NIIIIIIICCE.
 
Nintendo and Sony fanatics find these threads quickly and spout lots of bullshit.

You're embarrassing yourselves, so please just knock it off.

Hype is through the roof on this one. Midnight.
 
hmm this will be my first Halo gentlemen. Do you think itll be accessible for me to get into?

Story stuff might be a bit nonsense for you, but you could always read up on wikipedia if you want to. Other then that, you will probably be entertained a whole lot.

Has your top loading slim cover broke already, you miss the ungeneric Killzone?
