I don't know what this means... Are you saying you don't like Zanzibar? You do like it? Or just providing an example as a statement of fact?

Only some xbl trials are as you've said. 2days trials are restricted to online gameplay but 14 days are full xbox live experience, just as the first free month when you buy the console.

I need more QTE of Brandon getting kicked in the face every time the X button displays on screen. LOL

It sounds like a lot of reviewers have said the game could use better objectives in the SP, so he may be right there.. but his solutions..not so much.
Are you referring to flaws that you can't directly reference due to spoilers?
Agreed. I would also like to see some more unique map design.. I wanna play something that feels unique and not done before.. if possible.

That map had those things and they stopped doing that kinda stuff after that.
There were at least two interactive maps in Halo 3.
"We are tracking all player skill data and while it will not be exposed in the game UI at launch, we have some ideas about how to give players access to that information, in a useful way, in the not-so-distant future."
Sounds like at least something is coming for ranks, but my guess is it will be on Waypoint.

I think some people feel like they need to prove something or be "tough" on big games reviews so that they don't seem paid off or biased, and then they say shit like that that makes them look like complete morons.

"Listen here developers, if your game isn't linear with tons of explosions, setpieces, easy to kill enemies, and most importantly; soul, you are doing it all wrong. Take notes, Black Ops 2 is the pinnacle of the FPS genre. This is the new bar, and I'll be damned if any game in the coming years can even hope to reach it."

But I mean iron sights and scripted gameplay sequences of all things.. like.. what? How can you even defend those as something a game needs? ESPECIALLY from a franchise known for it's rich sandbox refined to a science.
I hope that's not a reflection of what the average gamer desires.
The simple notion that a game needs iron sights irks me like nothing else and is a good way of proclaiming your lack of credibility and knowledge about the genre.
High Ground. (Could open the gate in some gametypes)
Haha, this was good.
Their answer was very good, and it sounds like this new TU philosophy will be incredibly beneficial.

Heavily scripted sequences and smaller environments equal soul, now? Good lord, are these the people I share my hobby with?
I find it so bizarre that his description of soul is "make it more like this other game".
Which is...you know...the very meaning of soulless.
It makes me believe that game reviewers are painfully easy to pander to and manipulate. You know it's true when you can predict what score a game will get before you even play it.

Wait, the Flood are in this game? sigh..
I agree with him on backtracking and objectives. You have to admit a lot of Halo boils down to clear area or clear area and hold x to active/deactivate something. The problem is giving the player something to do that seems necessary for a supersoldier to pull off. The most obvious action is what we get, overcoming seemingly overwhelming odds. Doesn't mean 343 can't spice things up or at least try to. That said, no idea what's waiting in the campaign so this discussion isn't very fair.
Only in War Games as a multiplayer mode.
I know, I agree with what you said but his comments defy logic entirely.
The rest of the comments at least seem justifiable. I haven't played the game yet so I can't say anything about those.
I wish.

Ah yes, ironically another one of my favorite assault maps. RIP assault.........

That's the thing - Tashi seems to think the campaign does an excellent job keeping objectives fresh. Who is right I suppose we'll see at launch.
But that's not why we're laughing.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, yes it sounds good, but how strict will they be and how will they enforce it. What if someone takes a light hearted comment too seriously? What if there is a misinterpretation? Maybe it's just that I prefer all things internet to be wild west style, but I could see this coming with unfortunate consequences. Also, life time ban for first offense? That 13 year old should really be punished forever?

I haven't played it either, but i don't need to play it to know i don't need iron sites or scripted linear game-play in it. The beauty of Halo is that you can approach every battle differently every time you play it. Thats why i play it. He clearly doesnt get that.
Oh Call of Duty fans, stay away from our halo thanks

All 13 year olds should be banned forever.
I think perma-muting a player would be a better solution than banning them. That way they can still play the game they paid for but can't ruin the experiences of other people so easily.

You raise a good point.
Sounds good to me.
I just don't want Halo 4 lobbies to be like GAF before the great unbanning of cunt.
Yes, homophobic, racist, sexist pieces of crap should be banned forever, no matter how old they are.
Wanna keep playing your shiny new game? Try to be a decent human being.

Todd Howard's Secret GAF Account
Reach introduced a somewhat effective solution to this problem. If someone gets muted enough times then they're automatically muted to other players when they go online. Seems good enough to me, just incorporate the feature into reporting people as well, since people tend to not realize how easy it is to mute people.
