it just doesn't make sense. They already had an awesome UI/active roster.
why would they change it to an inferior design?
One thing about the campaign...
I felt rushed... Maybe it was just me, but I felt like everywhere I went I had to shoot something. Sometimes I like to explore a little, and sure, you can do it... but it doesn't feel right (especially the later levels)
Not entirely sure why, but there you go.

Welcome to the future of consoles video games!I just got Halo 4, and I have 19 DLC codes to redeem.
Will probably take longer than the campaign itself.
A poor joke.
The campaign has been amazing thus far. It really can't be overstated enough how much 343 nailed the movement, aiming, and everything that makes a Halo game feel like Halo. Bless you 343. Bout to try out some MP.

Good to hear. How does the general pacing feel so far? I really hated how Halo 3 had some missions that were 10 minutes tops, and then a few reaching an hour.
Are your hands full yet?
Nope, not yet.

This times a million. What a spectacular human.
Missions are about 40mins to an hour long each. Well, that's for me on Heroic anyway.
Old and busted, new hotness.
First mission was kinda short, but the next 2 were prolly about 25-30 mins a piece.

I can't install the second disc. Every time it gets close to finishing it shuts the xbox off and corrupts the hard drive which makes it extremely irritable getting it to work again. When I fix it again I am installing it from live even though I have to wait. Ugh.

Can't wait to see what they do with next gen hardware.

Graphics
Sound (mostly)
Gun animations
Level design is solid, although there's certain spots where it was like "we need to make this long enough to be sprinted through"

Outside of the DMR, AR, and Shotgun, the guns sound wimpy and feel about as much
It seems you're just randomly handed AAs when you respawn in campaign with no explanation.
The imposter system from Reach is still in use here, and triggers at even shorter ranges than Reach in splitscreen. Objects 10 feet away from me are grey blobs. There was a certain vista when we were making our way to the top of the tower in splitscreen where it was a lumpy gray mass. Um, probably shouldn't be using the imposter system on your skybox elements.

There is literally not a single cutscene yet, CGI or in-engine, where anybody's damn mouth actually syncs to what they're saying. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
Not getting that at all. Sounds (hah) like a problem on your end

Geez. Fiction/Universe Spoilers:
All that throws a huge monkey wrench in what's been shown in the Halo 3 terminals/Greg Bear books.

Terrible as in OP or UP? You have radar after all...

How long? I may try to head home and squeeze it in during lunch.... assuming it arrives *eyeing package tracking*
I'll hold you on Saturday
I think it's OP. If they made it so you lose your radar during PV, it would be a little better. Right now you gain so much information from using it that it's worth being pinged on your enemy's radar.

I haven't got xbox live so Ive been tackling the forge. Only disappointment is that you cannot zoom in on an object while you are holding it, and the lack of nudging controls. I hope this gets a patch at some time. That being said the map I am making looks 10x better than any of my reach forge creations. I can't wait to see what other people come up with.

Yea, the DMR is so much better than the BR, kinda sad. I was trying to use the BR in an Infinity Slayer match against guys with DMR/PV and was just getting toasted on every fight. :|
Not sure I really care for IS, but I had a blast in Dominion/CTF.
The gun play feels so rewarding in this game, not once tonight did I feel like I was fighting the game like Reach...

This makes me sad.
I could just be bad at the game, but when I switched to the DMR, I started going massively positive again. The DMR feels like it fires faster than the BR to me, which is weird, since I thought that was supposed to be the BRs strength over it.
It's about the same length as past Halo releases the first time through. This was a second playthrough, with an extra person. With 2+ people, you can just melt enemies in a heartbeat. Makes the thing kind of a cakewalk, really.

.... Postman just talked past my house. Noooooo.

then this will be another reach after the honeymoon ends
dmr is dumb and ruins the game
I did it in 5Hrs 38.
It felt like a good length to play, not dragged out. I guess that is half to be expected because it is definitely more story driven than previous games. It's awesome though!
Looking forward to taking my time and exploring looking for temrinals
