I've hated every Killzone game I've played. That is all.

I enjoyed Killzone 2/3 except for the terrible terrible dialog. Whoever thought rico was a good idea on paper should not be paid to write anymore.

I've never really payed much attention to the boltshot, but I started picking some up yesterday, and good Lord this weapon is powerful. I may be lttp, but giving the user any leeway in firing time was a mistake. Just make it so it always fires in the exact same period of time. And fix the audio glitches, please!
Give me a fucking break! Every game is going to benefit from new hardware resources.
This isn't some selling point, and there is no proof 343 is even capable of next generation AI.
Not since the Halo 2 brutes have we seen more rudimentary AI, and this is even after they had access to the entire engine Bungie built.
Guess what, next generation they'll have to build everything from the ground up for new hardware without Bungie's engine to start with.
Just because it has a halo exterior, doesn't mean its automatically going to be a winner.

What audio glitches? the nades are actually designed to sound like a penny being thrown at metal window blinds.
I know I've been guilty of it but we should all agree not to quote Ozzy...it results in too much derailment.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about that one too. Between that and Bioshock, this spring will be good.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this before, but I learned if you don't complete the final part of the last QTE in campaign (where punching the bomb detonates it, whereas crashing a jet doesn't), it just resets the cutscene. There isn't even any sort of failure cinematic.
Even for a lazy endgame sequence, that's pretty lethargic.

I don't even know if that would help much. I think after it starts charging up making you be locked into the animation (no weapon switching/cancelling) might help prevent the constant camping.
Since I've got him on ignore, I'd appreciate the cessation of quoting.

If you don't
stick the Pulse grenade to the Didact, he'll throw you off the edge
I waited a few minutes for the final quick time event of detonating the nuke and nothing seemed to happen :/

I for one would love an Ozzy and kylej podcast. Or HaloGAF radio.
I'd listen to that.
I support this statement.

Yeah I don't see what he did?
Edit: Ohh he made the screenshot tool web based. Ehh nice I suppose kind of redundant of you ask me since it's really 6 and two 3's.
343i should have fixed this along time ago
Sltpoison asked me to elaborate on my earlier post and I did. You shake your head at people who give details? That's amusing. Do you shake your head at professors who explain theorems and historical events, as well? Are you like that cop on Dragnet? "Just the facts, ma'm."
Also, telling people that they're crying when they make a critical post is very immature. Instead of trying to label me a baby, why don't you offer counterpoints to my post that actually address what I wrote. And lastly, my experience with Uncharted 2 wasn't really subjective because Uncharted 2 doesn't allow people to have subjective experiences. We've pretty much experienced the same exact game. Every single time that Drake jumped and grabbed on to an overhanging protrusion in a wall, only to shout "shit! shit! shit!" as it began to give way was exactly the same for all of us.
My criticism of Uncharted 2 isn't that it's a bad game, but that it isn't a game at all.
Edit: And since this is a Halo 4 thread, I'll say that I think the developers of Halo 4 were also swayed by the overall trend of the industry in entering a cinematic phase for video game development. Levels were narrower, the emphasis on cutscenes was much greater, and while playing it I was always aware that my actions were leading up to another cutscene. I never felt that way while playing Halo 2 and 3. Granted, they still had cutscenes. Halo 2 had 2 hours worth, I think. But with Halo 2, I didn't feel like my actions were for nothing.
As a side note, Halo 4 has a lot of button terminals that I had to press. Far too many.

I'm not really looking forward to new Spartan Ops, but I am looking forward to Forge Playlist, Griffball and Doubles.. Heres hoping that at least Doubles will stay with us for a while.. as for the Forge maps, Im not expecting anything great, but at least it will get some variety.
Now they just need to get rid of their random ordinance system, add theater to SpOps and SP, make a classic settings playlist and bring back 1-sided objective. Yup, thats it! :lol
On a sort of related note, I just found out Greg Bear did a Jurassic Park comic arc kinda recently:

I totally have to read this, but if Halo Cryptum and Primordiom taught me anything I imagine most of it is spent aimlessly walking around Nublar while not seeing dinosaurs.
Havent played it but I hate this statement.
Sure, some people prefer emergent gameplay and less cinematics, but it's a different type of game. Take Walking Dead for example. They could have made it an fps or something but instead they went for a cinematic storytelling experience that was amazing

You bastard, just made me nostalgia hard with that track. I love what was done with CE: A's soundtrack.
Nice.

Wasn't a playlist consolidation/TU supposedly coming to Halo 3 and Reach alongside Halo 4's release? I could've sworn I heard that somewhere.

That was the plan, but obviously they've busy with other things and have delayed it indefinitely while they focus on Halo 4.
I believe Over asked on Twitter and either bsangel or the official HaloWaypoint twitter responded.
That's what I was expecting. Still disappointing.
Welcome back
Someone's gotta repair the damage Shishka has done to Halo 3. I don't understand why Team Rockets, Team Duals, Team Swords, FFA Swords, FFA Hammerzeit, FFA KotH with 30 second random hills, Team Splockets, AR starts on big maps, AR starts in ranked and AR starts in general are still things that actually exist in Halo 3 matchmaking outside of Action Sack.

Support for past Halo games has always been absolutely non-existent, short of shutting off Halo 2. Its just inexcusable in my opinion. Consolidate your stuff, man...

Trying to whip up a rough playlist consolidation and include Halo 4's gametypes + the good ones it doesn't have like three plots. What gametypes has Doubles traditionally used?
