First Halo 4 GI information (Spartan OPs, multi, etc) [Update: Campaign/More Details]

Super-duper late to the party, but I just listened to the extended sample of the soundtrack with headphones.

Daaaaaaaymmm son. Once 1:00 rolled around, I knew that there was something special here


EDIT: Oops, meant this for HaloGAF thread

Well shit, you just single handedly ruined the Halo 4 campaign. It can't possibly live up to this. Pre-order cancelled.

it s not like 343i had to put the Chief s humanity and cortana's friendship front and center.
Cortana looks like the babymama latina girl I ll probably never have sex with.

now I want 343i to put an epic fail ending ala ME3, where you get to see all the crying mothers of your victims.
That s how you deal with being human : frailty and violence don t match much.


By the way can Prometheans still rely on AI within their armors?

Credit to StalkerUKCG for pointing it out.

Cool is that Josh talks about Forge.

It's funny. The flood is great from a story perspective, but they fuckign suck ass from a gameplay perspective.

They better not be back.

If the flood isn't like the bullet sponges they were in Halo 3 then it could be interesting. If bullets can penetrate them and splash damage, they game can throw 100+ flood combat forms at the player to create some epic combat situation. The player would want to find a natural choke point to do as much damage as possible.

Just imagine taking out 10+ flood forms with one shotgun blast.

Serious? Forge is a pretty bland character, in my opinion.

I wasn't really looking for Forge to return as(halo wars ending spoilers)
he is dead
. Just hoping some mention of him may see the (halo wars ending spoilers)
Spirit of Fire end up in the same place as MC and Cortana.

Only because I'm a Halo wars fanboy.
 
How about Sergeant Buck from Halo: ODST.
If there is someone who deserves to become a spartan 4 it would be buck.

Eddie Buck is a career Marine that has seen more than his fair share of this war. He has had the dubious honor of participating in many of the wars’ most vicious battles; including both the liberation of Harvest and the Fall of Reach. That he has survived through it all speaks volumes. Truly, if he was any better he’d be a Spartan.

Oke i just want nathan fillion in this game.
 
So is it a known fact we will not get any new info until E3? I just want to know what the ranking system is going to be like and how in progress matchmaking is going to be incorporated.

The team who's better at controlling the map gets the power weapons. There are even odds because both teams have equal chances to control those spawns.

Do you even read your posts? Its even because one team camps the power weapons, but the other team COULD get them. Thats not even, not even close to being even.

I'm concerned about the story. The Halo lore has never really interested me (despite putting easily ~1000 hours into the games), and I couldn't care less about "John" (lol) and his motivations. Hopefully 343 has more subtlety than Team Ninja when it comes to "reinvigorating" iconic characters by adding emotionality to them (hey Samus and Ryu).

Are you really replying to a post that's 9 days old and on page 1 of a 17 page thread?

Wait, so do you care about Halo's story or not?

Frankly, the plot of Halo 4 is one thing I'm not worried about at all. The latest batch of Halo books from 343 has been great.

So no new news from GI hub.
Dam GI give me my 10min Gameplay multiplayer match vid.
I hope 343i holds back on showing an entire MP match until they can show exactly what I will be playing on the main Team Slayer playlist on day one. I don't want to be baited and switched.
