Personally, I find that a good campaign can keep me interested for years. I played the Halo CE, 2 and 3 campaigns consistently from release because I didn't have Live back then (Only got it in 2010). Multiplayer is always great, but a good campaign can reduce the need for it, IMO.

Well, I thought the faces in Reach of the main Spartans were distinct and had a personality. But clearly, I am unable to express my opinion on the subject well enough to get across what I am trying to say.
looks like a metal gear
That's actually footage of Multi-player on Adrift with the Mech Specialisation

Nah I agree I think. They looked generic, but maybe those specific characters are meant to.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I agree. Each of the Spartan's in Reach looked interesting and unique when unmasked. These look like dudes you'd see taking their family to Red Robin or something.

A few pics I grabbed from the trailer:
I think it was the misspelling of "VGCChartz" at the end.

The competitive multiplayer doesn't excite me nearly as much as the campaign at this point.
And this is coming from a guy who's played Halo Competitive MP since he was in middle school and now is in his last year of college -_-.
Game looks great 343. Just please deliver on a truly competitive experience, the campaign and story draw me in, but the MP keeps me playing and interested.

Cool video, nothing too crazy, this Ryan clown can stop building up the IGN Halo 4 hype.
Wish we could get our hands on some actual new info, not just updates on things already being talked about.
Theater Mode and Forge Mode need to be fleshed out to compete with "other FPS games" at the moment.

It looks like it has a penis.
no. The theater version was for the context of a theater this is for chillaxing and examining.
Ah thank you. It was just curious that it got pulled.

Any Idea why the article was deleted for now?
So Guys how late is it ? Shouldn't the Bulletin be out "early afternoonish" ? I have to decide if I should go to sleep or not.
Tommorrow I will drive to Cologne / GamesCom, but not for Halo 4
YAY will stay up

Yeah, it was put up earlier, when they added the Specialization logos, etc.
Whatcha think? Like, Dislike?
I need to embrace my inner Halo nerd.
I have a duality with the Halo franchise which involves nerding out over new crazy animations, new weapons, and more "casual friendly" things, then the side that involves the hardcore competition.
Basically, the salt levels were because the "newness" of the nerd chills had faded and were juxtaposed with the badassery of the Black Ops 2 competitive catering.
I understand Halo is a GAME overall first, but when the series used to have such a strong competitive back bone, it hurts my competitive side to see it blatantly ignored.
That music was amazing, I'm really digging the Massive Attack vibe that's being brought to the table. The environments in the campaign look surreal yet captivating and believable. I'm impressed with a lot, it's just being masked by my competitive, hardcore side.
They need to give a direct service to the competitive community, not in the form of some playlist, to win over my competitive gamer side. The game certainly looks fun and enjoyable, but it's longevity and drive to get better and keep playing is not apparent to me.
No, and EXP ranking system does not count towards my longevity. I'm not a sucker. I'm not gonna play a game I don't like just for the rank. It's the same reason I rarely prestige in CoD. Black Ops was the only one I ever have. I get the guns, then I play the game.
The longevity is in my practice to get better based on an enjoyable competitive experience. Not some cluster fuck of "30 seconds of fun" or whoever coined that terrible term.
Here's to Halo 4 looking like a great game, but a lackluster competitive title.
To each his own. <3
Yes, except with a few different edits here and there (basically some more flashes) and without narration
Yes pls.
I don't know... the last time I posted .gifs people decided to complain 30 minutes after the fact that I was done posting them, then I got banned.

Is that a rocket turret on the side of the Mammoth?
Yes please.
Well, I wonder if they will have a direct download version, cause if so, wait for that.

Seconded, and yes, Black Ops was the only CoD game I have prestiged in as well.
As I mentioned earlier, the main driving force behind me wanting to get better at SC2 and play that more is I want to get up to that gold or diamond division, and it's immediate feedback. I'm not even a huge RTS guy at all, and I've been playing Competitive Halo since LANs with my friends back in the CE days.
It just feels not so great to see this swap of franchise priorities when one of the reasons I fell in love with Halo was the competitive offering and skill ranks and the immediate feedback in the form of the progress bar on Bungie's website back in Halo 2 for individual playlists.
Why? lmao
I really hope this is in multiplayer, would be awesome.
I just want to have this kind of moment using it.
Is that the medical terminology for it?
