Because when I love the campaign (in any game) I tend to play it repeatedly. I really love story-telling and I grew up playing SP games. I love MP, don't get me wrong but playing SP is more relaxing.

6v6 its a little small since the game involves mechs but what is the mechs limit in the matches, two?
Alot of mechs could kill infantry gameplay anyway
I dunno but matches takes a looooooooong time to end, I wish DICE lowers the tickes to end the match because most of the time is just a grinding time to unlock stuff for me.

See, the TitanFall thing seems weird knowing the maps aren't that small and are populated by AI on top of everything. I dunno, I'll have to play it to get a real feel for things, but it seems weird to think I may fight against AI more than actual players.
As for Halo, the core focus for MP needs to be 4v4/5v5 arena gameplay. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a larger scale BTB that increases the playercounts and perhaps is more fluid like some BF gamemodes.

Well sprint isn't a shooting mechanic.
Different games have a different balance of their various mechanics. How is shooting mechanics the only thing that will determine the next big thing in shooters? It's possible for Movement mechanics could have a larger impact on how a game plays than shooting mechanics do.
An improvement to the fluidity would be nice a balance between, infantry and vehicular combat so they can coexist better. Wouldn't be too bad.

Oh, and off-topic unless you count it being a CE Magnum successor, but Prinz Eugn is a pretty cool guy. eh shades gons n doesnt afraid of anything.
Oh hello
Yeah, I agree. Big Team to me is a fuck around playlist that I can go into solo and not have to coordinate with a team of people I know to have fun. It's mindless fun Halo for when I don't feel like thinking man's Halo. To me the more players, the better... Well, except they mix of maps would be even more muddled, so perhaps not in the end.

I assume OXM are using that as a temp title as the name isn't known, and it is shorter than "Halo for Xbox One".

1: Epicness? Halo 2. Story wise? Halo (It's quite difficult to choose one)
2:Halo 3
3: Halo 3- Valhala
4:I don't get this one.
5: 1. CE Pistol
2. Battle Rifle
3. DMR
4. Spartan Laser
5. Energy Sword
6: 1. Guardian
2. Last Resort
3. Blood Gulch
4. SnowBound
5. The Pit
7: SWAT, FFA, BTS
8: Master Chief, Sergeant Johnson, 343, Cortana (and a few others)
9: Hmmm.Everything that made Halo... Halo. That's it. Just bring back Halo and add it a few touches. Story is what matters to me in Halo, so do it the old fashioned way. Oh and the original Halo theme... I miss it so much.
10: I don't play Smash Bros but I find it really entertaining. Love playing with Samus (you're talking about this, right?)
Yeah, don't judge me guys.

Halo: More of that shit you dont like, but focus groups love.
Done it thread
It's good, but the online population is extremely weak, therefore it isn't really worth spending money on, just like the rest of that game's DLC, unless you get a copy of Anniversary alongside it.

Unnecessary. It's a complete non-story.
They aren't calling the game Halo Next, they clearly just aren't ready to reveal it yet.
Edit: Welp. So much for that.

The clearly faked ones that a lot of us laughed at and that ended up causing more internet drama?
I've no idea, the name was unimportant.

6 players and 6 mechs per team so max is 12 vs. 12. Sounds great to me, especially for on foot combat, anything larger without vehicles and you lose that solo or buddy system power play effectiveness for game outcome.
That's what they where labelled as.
More people than ozzy must have an opinion on this.
Also 6v6 sounds amazing in titanfall, I don't suppose they have surfaced anything about competitive modes in that yet? Playlists? Organized tournaments?
At least halo got the amazing dude from blizzard that worked on the sc2 ranking system... Doesn't really help till the next game tho.
I loved 40v40 in WoW, but in a shooter with .5 sec kill times and giant runs to action, I find it terrible.

ranking system is useless if the base game isnt competitive/conducive to it.
HaloGAF Customs come back on Saturday. We'll be checking out Gabo's modded gametype. I've done a full writeup as well as interview about it all here:

damn, i dont have the Champions bundle. but nice interview.
A lot of us play together in small pockets. HaloGAF Customs returned late last year and it'd be nice to keep it going in 2014.
I'm sure we can play the gametype on maps other than the Pit. Although I'm sure it's great on the Pit.

I'm just asking because I haven't played Halo 4 MP for a long time now.
Really want to try them out, I'll be there
I would be there but I've been waiting all week to watch this pot of water boil so it looks like i'll be p busy!
Sticks and stones Andrew, sticks...and...stones.

Few still play Halo, I usually wait for a gaf calling to play.
If you want to play that or reach I don't mind playing with you.
CSR suffers from this as halo 4 isn't really competitive at all.

Haven't played Halo 4 with friends yet (I'm a lone wolf). But I guess that it's as fun as the other Halo's.
Don't have Gold right now, finals and all that stuff. But I might buy some next week.
My poor Xbox 360 has been collecting dust since I bought The Last Of Us.
I was thinking on buying Gears Of War Judgment but I don't know... what's your thoughts on GoWJ HaloGaf?
Large player count hype is justified when the game is built around it. But the gaf thread has a mentality of MORE PLAYERS IS MORE FUN AND MORE NEXT GEN.
Halo is an example of a game that wasn't built for massive scale battles.
Dynamic maps should return though those are sweet. I miss having a focal point on the map to fight over in objective. Like a gate switch.
"In my opinion:
Its GAME design choice based on the limitation of the X1 CPU,
They are likely trying to push positivity on why its 6v6 (and they should, they have alot invested in it) But the likely hood is they KNEW it would be 6v6 and designed the games and maps around it."
Yeah, because the Xbox One totally doesn't have virtually an identical CPU to the ps4 right? And of course they are going to develop the game around the Xbox One, it's the primary platform and what Microsoft paid for. I bet a lot of devs facepalm when reading gaming side these days.

GoWJ is okay. its the Halo 4 of the gears series, but the Gears 3 online is still more active.

Yeah I've heard that.
How about consoles, you guys already jumped to next gen? (well I guess so)
Don't forget the game has to be playable on Xbox 360 too, so they can't use the full potential of the Xbox One right now, like Destiny, Need For Speed Rivals or even Assassin's Creed.
I'm sure they would have put more players into the game if they could, but it's a cross-plateform game.
But I'm not worried about that. Destiny max count will be 6vs6 as we know from GI, I'm not looking for a Battlefield like game when I'll put my hands on Titanfall. For me, it's more an open arena with IA like the Firefight from ODST than anything else.

Hola Halogaf! I felt compelled to make my first post now after a lengthy time of lurking. Sad thing is, I've gotten more enjoyment reading Halogaf posts than I've had playing Halo 4. Hopefully Halo will get back on its feet.
I hope this will be the start of a beautiful friendship.
