Kinda shitty how they aren't including a headset and charge kit with the console. Thing is already expensive enough... they could have at least chucked something in there to make it seem a little more worth while.
Depends if you like everyone in your house/vicinity being able to hear what your friends are saying over chat, I guess.

I prefer good science fiction and/or fantasy, thank you.
Especially when the only indication of the primary antagonist's motivation and apparent character turn is hidden either via collectibles unlocking content on a crummy website or in a book that releases a full five months after the game.

The females marines in Halo were OK.
I just can't find it in myself to care about the meta plot of the franchise anymore. Enjoyed it all the way through Reach. Then with 4 it just became too much work.
Wait, so there are people here who think Bioshock's combat was so excellent it demanded a Horde mode then?

I thought it was pretty good. I loved the combat.

I get some giggles out of Team Doubles with my brother. I just hate the AR with a burning passion.

It's a terrible narrative strategy imo

I see your Michelle and raise you Laura:
I realize the stuff for Big Bad was supposed to be in the game through terminals, and it may have made a difference. Be that as it may, I hope they scale back on the outside-the-game character development. Give me something to like about the character IN the game first, please.
Terminals outside of the game was a bad decision, not to mention hiding them (although they were easy enough to find, if you were actually looking).
When its absolutely necessary for you to watch them to have a clue as to what is going on... they should probably be easy to find and watch!

Because you need them for story?
Necessary plot points shouldn't be Easter eggs.
But they do need more Easter eggs

I posted Laura because she voiced one of the Marines in Halo 2, not because she looks similar to a character I don't like.
Edit: I agree completely. Without the knowledge of the terminals, Didact was a paper-thin, craptastic villain.

Can't put key narrative stuff in the terminals though, those are intentionally hidden from the player. The content in the Halo 4 terminals shouldn't have been in terminals.

Campaign collectibles are a pathetic method of encouraging repeat playthroughs.
Just make the campaign fun. That motivates repeat plays more than anything.

Keep collectibles. Some people like searching levels and finding cool stuff. Halo 2-?
For god sakes just don't tie major plot points to them. Make them items.

Arbiter should return in Halo 5.

We still have yet to get a scarab version 2.0, or something like a giant soccer ball. Instead we get hidden weapon caches....
Without a doubt, but we'll see what he's up to in the (thankfully) last installment of the Kilo Five Trilogy.
Yep.
There's actually some solid stuff in the Halo book offerings. The themes, characters and story hooks you like about the games are present in some of the books in interesting configurations.
While it's not genre-defining stuff, it's a nice quick read.
Compared to this years' short list for the Hugo, they're Shakespeare.
And the ghost of Johnson.

I've got a few awesome people who know about me and my sword obsession. It warms my little heart to hear you say that! If only Halo 4 still had sword sprees and slice n dices. :/
And no unlimited ammo, and only one winner, and no headshots, pistol is worthless, etc. Barf.

The ghost of Johnson should dual-inhabit Arbiter's body and they fight for control frequently.
Comedy gold.

If only it had been the Arbiter with Johnson at the end of CE. And if only that scene was canon. Then that possession would be perfect, and hilarious.
I now need to see a drawing of Arbiter, in his Arbiter armor, with Johnson's hat on top of his head (on top of the armor) and a cigar in his mouth.
I'm okay with either of these things, 314 please pursue these story routes, thanks.
