Just got around to watching the Destiny footage and shitttt..... I was thrown off by how slow the gameplay looked. After playing so much PvZ and Titanfall, this game looks sluggish. Throwing grenades is going to hurt my soul, I already know it. Couple that with aiming down the sights and those health bars (I much prefer solely having the visual feedback through enemy shields and movements to indicate the enemy's health).. I don't know.
I'm sure I'll play a lot of it, but now that puts more pressure on Halo 2 Anniversary coming through lol

Thanks for coming here to tell us that?
When did anyone at 343 ever say they hate Halo? I mean I can understand that a lot of them may not be as passionate as we are on forums and in communities, but I don't think anyone hated Halo or what it represents. Also, not every dev needs to completely like what they make.
I think I remember a quote or something saying they hired people who disliked Halo so that they could improve it? IDK

I thought they hired a ton of devs, including "even people who hate Halo." It wasn't a conscious decision to seek them out, it was more that they happened to hire people who didn't like the series but could explain why and be constructive about it IIRC.

"not enough cinematic setpieces"
"covenant don't look enough like locusts"
"battlefields are too big"
Can't find it for some reason but there was a thread about a guy (some lead something designer or whatever) who is quoted as proudly saying he does not like Halo.
He put a grenade on the end, and that stuck in the textures.

Chief has to ride Foundry through a portal to the Space Metapod in Halo 5 confirmed?
A complaint about the complaint box. Delicious!
Of course. It would be silly to assume that's all they were doing! Plus I wasn't the one making the argument haha

Destiny probably won't turn the FPS genre "on it's head" but I'm still convinced it'll be a pretty big hit. Probably more so than Titanfall.
Something something Halo 4 related: I'm confused as to how the ejector perk works, sometimes you eject other times you just die. What's up with that?

This is actually pretty funny, hope its canon.
When H2A comes out I hope super bouncing is canon too
and BXR's
I just...what?
Kill it! Kill it with fire!
I feel like I've been defiled just looking at it.

I bought it at $30 its fun for a while but you get bored pretty fast online, campaign is ..... I never finished it to be honest, one of the grinders stuck on a wall and couldnt advance... so yeah.. the true campaign is in the settings the locked out on the sidequests they put on the walls so is messy

The campaign is pretty decent in terms of length and sort of explains some things that happened in Gears 1 (though I felt they just jammed some info there). In terms of multiplayer, it was probably the most aggressive out of all of them, but the cons just weigh it down. Not enough maps, the whole weapon system changes, no locust, jumping off buildings, etc. But I did love overrun, an amazing game type. Hopefully it's in the next gears. But yeah, it is definitely worth the ~$20.

If the initial global ordnance or on map spawns were fixed and fair with the Infinity style random weapon selection removed, drop recon always on for all players with a 10-20 second nav point indicator and continued global ordnance drops as random between 2-4 global locations (not random weapons) we could really have something great.
There's always been this default vs. MLG style battle about weapon spawns, weapon farming, spawn killing and timing spawns etc.
To me this takes the best from across many games and delivers skill with predicability and forced map movement e.g. everyone knows the when and where of incoming weapons. Initial spawn remains classic arena Halo, random GO after that ensures no spawn killing for the rest of the game and relies heavily on team work to secure the next one. None of the random outcomes and none of the debate about default vs. MLG.
It creates a base game across many modes.

Sometimes I like to imagine this thread makes sense.
That's your first mistake
Hehe.
Serious answer?
. It keeps bothering me, for some reason. Also, did the Mantle's Approach give the Phantoms/Liches shields during the same cutscene, similar to an Engineer? Or do Phantoms have special shields they only use when traversing through slipspace?
Well you made again a snarky driveby comment, what did you expect.
And the Destiny thread is mostly correct, game looks super boring for now
Well and of course, I'm the only one who ever says such things. I ought to be called out for it. We need to keep that kind of snark out of this thread.

I too watched the new destiny footage. It looks more disappointing than halo 4 initially was.

Snark? In this thread?
No way
What you're attempting to do isn't working.
You have me on ignore so you probably wont even see this. #rekt
When is Heavies dropping. I got multikills to get.

Serious question; long story why. I care about the details, but I don't like making assumptions, even if it is as obvious as this one.
Speaking of that section in the game, I was looking forward to that part being actual game play. What a disappointment when it changed to a cutscene. Battlefield can manage free fall jumps well enough. Would have been cool in Halo 4.
Unless they were going to introduce the mechanic earlier I would rather not have had it playable. I dislike game sections where you flail around trying to figure out what to do and then never use that skill again.

Like in 4 when you fly along the Didacts ship for the first and last time, whilst dodging moving parts that look as if it's been ripped straight from a ratchet and clank level. Did you dislike that?

You make me remember Nintendo reaction about SSB being in EVO, they are pretty assholes about someone using their IPs but thank god they are working out to a competitive level finally.

I loved it when so many Brawl apologists would say how tournaments and streams don't have a significant impact on the popularity of a game to downplay the impact of Brawl being taken out of many competitive scenes. When you have a deliberately sluggish and inconsistent game that doesn't appeal to fans who play your games for years on end, you're drastically limiting the potential for growth, especially if the game design didn't initially hurt the noncompetitive audience in the first place (ie: CE aim assist, movement, etc. compared to Halo 2, Smash 64/Melee hitstun, speed, combo potential, etc. compared to Brawl).
