So does everyone else. That's why we can't have it.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. If there are "game-changing unlocks" with level progression, like COD, does that mean there will be weapons unlocking at higher levels to go along with the loadouts, or whatever? Similar to leveling in COD to get better sniper rifles, etc and having weapons that some other players don't have?

I feel like 343 has gone out of their way to make it clear this isn't like COD.

I wasn't trying to directly compare H4 to COD, I just wasn't exactly getting what was meant by the level progression stuff.

I'm wracking my brain about what we've been hearing about "perks" and unlocks and stuff, trying to figure out how it would work in a Halo game and I can't think of anything. But I guess we'll see. If it's not like CoD, then what? I'm interested in hearing more, definitely.

I can agree with this stuff. I'm not advocating being able to sprint indefinitely as much as you want. Other big FPS games have sprint and yet don't have the issue of being ambushed by melees repeatedly. I think 343 can balance it to work. Have limited sprint ala CoD, or do as you mentioned, make the player stop when shot, or make it take time to come out of sprint and get your gun to the ready position (ala CoD).
As mentioned I don't want Halo to be CoD or another shooter, but they do have some good ideas on how to add things like sprint and balance it.

Looks influenced by the mechs in Neo Genesis Evangelion to me.

Yea that is just it everything involving perks at this point is speculation. Like you said earlier the AAs and bloom in Reach sounded good on paper until we got our hands on a controller and realized they were sad times. I am going to reserve judgement one way or the other until someone gets some hands on time with them.

Okay, what about random weapon respawn timers?

I like the new tag.
to be fair, 343i has gone out of their way to say they are not CoD style. like most things halo 4 related, we'll have to wait and see.

Let's not freak out because journos like to compare things to the biggest FPS on the market right now, let's wait until we see what it actually entails. (Not that you were freaking out).
Thanks! As do I.
^ game journalists would like us to forget to get clicks.

Indeed. We need to realize that much of this worry could be due to gaming journalism mucking up again.Let's not freak out because journos like to compare things to the biggest FPS on the market right now, let's wait until we see what it actually entails. (Not that you were freaking out).

who's the babe?
any speculation from the novels?
She looks a little petite for a Spartan, but you never know. My totally random guess would be some ONI officer, but who knows?

We don't know but 343 has made it clear that Halo 4's perks won't equal those of Call of Duty. At least that's what they said.
Edit: Beaten. Twice.

She's a bit too young looking to be Serin Osman from Glasslands and I just doubt it would be Naomi Sentzke or any of the Spartan II's or threes.
I'm guessing either some UNSC/ONI person, a Spartan IV, a human Separatist or maybe even the new face model for Cortana, pre-Avataresque skin shading. Or just a face model used for demonstrating some new software technology.
In other words, no clue.

Is there a better word for 'perks'? I hate that word!

I'm pretty sure he's already been avatar'd... but here he is again.
Claimed. And this picture has been avatared, but I think it was framed differently, cropped closer to the head and the but of the gun?
I'll change back if it's an issue.

BR55HB SR <- so it looks like its the same name as the previous battle rifle, Is it a successor in the fiction or are we just pretending it always looked like this.

I can dig it. This is what I will be calling them from now on.

(MAJOR Primordium/Halo Universe Spoilers)
the composer was used to turn chakas (a human) into 343 (an AI/Monitor). what if the major story arc ends with a twist on that. i.e. the only way to save cortana is to use the composer to somehow turn her back into a human or some variation of composer, ai, human, etc.
Upgrades?
Wargear.
Might be a little too 40k... they even used 'perks' in Space Marine; so bad.
Enhancements?
Generic, retarded, imitation, unoriginal, dogshit. You choose.
