Ryan Payton leaves 343 because Halo 4 wasn't his vison, Davis leaves 343 because Halo 4's story wasn't his vision.
Hm...
Hm...
Hmm interesting. Guy certainly has a vision, a shame to see a guy leave the project because they didn't want to implement enough narrative into the project as he wanted.
Confirmed: Haloz 4 sux!
Not fair to say that really. Maybe he wanted Mass Effect level of narrative, or just some absolutely absurd stuff. Maybe they are going for a CE feel like everyone hopes. If that is the case, narrative will be at a minimum and exploration at a maximum, so that could be a good thing. Perhaps he just found that game making isn't what he thought. Maybe his ego was just too big, I mean he's really young and already quit? Kinda odd.
Yeah but both wanted to make Halo, not "Halo". Good riddance.
I get Payton, but I don't understand Davis. He's just a kid, and loved Halo, yet wanted to change it? He's young, and left Halo 4. He sounds like a cocky dude. Meh. Good luck to him I guess.
Both seemed to not want Halo to be Halo.
Good guy Heckfu to the rescue while I'm napping. Dropping those truth bombs.
I too like zero evolution in my entertainment.
More grunts and brutes with hammers please.
Don't forget the enlisted aid of the can't shoot for shit marines.

Meh, I understand where he is coming from. The gamer in these cases often times wants the same game has before, but as someone that is making the game, I can see that they don't want to make the same game that's already been made. Sounds boring as shit. They want to innovate, bring new ideas to the table, both narratively and with the gameplay.

I want grunts with jetpacks.
That is all.
Edit: Okay, serious contribution. I want to see some marked changes in the Halo formula. I imagine that the new enemies, weapons, vehicles, and general aesthetics will be almost different enough in and of themselves, but I also want the gameplay to be mixed up in some way. Dunno how, but in some way.

Looks like some good old Frankie saving to me.
Letting people do whatever the fuck they wanted to the game got us Reach.

Your general idea is more ways to take down Scarabs. Evolve that type of encounter.
I agree, and would definitely be something to get excited for.

Someone sounds bitter.
From the guys story, sounds like he's pretty talented but just wanted to make something different. Just like Payton.
kylej & plywood industries, getting it right since '99.
Ugh, such a fallacy. X happened with Y result in this place, so X must not be allowed to be considered in this other place.
And god, Reach's gameplay mistakes were the exact types of changes that are more likely to happen in Halo 4 than any narrative/other style of gameplay changes going by news like this.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Not weird at all, it's very common for companies like Microsoft to hire folks right out of college for junior positions. It's a win for the universities they partner with and the companies themselves.

Yea imagine a group of 50 year old's making a game. It'd be about remembering what pills to take on what day or else your spartan will walk with a limp from backpain and arthristis and you're allowed thirthy minutes a day to sit down and read your copy of AARP newsletter.
It'd be a hoot of a game I'm sure, but I don't see it catching on with the youngens.

Pretty sure they're not saying no to every new idea, just the terrible ones.
With Reach someone suggested Armor Lock and noone cared...

Pretty sure we've no idea what they're saying yes and no to, that you could have made the same statement about Reach around this time in late 2009/2010.
I'm not saying 343I are going to make a bad game. I'm hopeful that Halo 4 will turn out great.
I already drudged through that game once already. I don't feel like watching the same ol' shit.
Also, I can't load GAF on my computer anymore. Doesn't matter what browser. Second apps is the only way I can load it. It's frustrating to say the least.

Ah, it'll be good, it has to be. Right? So much talent, time, money working to this relaunch and revitalisation of MS first party crown jewel?
The idea of it not ending up at least "good" is a scary and honestly I'd say unlikely one.

Yeah MS, like most tech companies are always looking to hire young employees.
Hell, when I graduate, MS will definitely be a place I'll be sending applications to.

Yes it does. lmao
So who's buying their 250 dollar kinect for windows? muahahahahaha
I know CES is not a gaming convention but when you bring the Xbox up there and mention no games and just show off an interactive TV program you can just go fuck off. Shit made me sick.

Don't be hating. Sesame Street with Kinect is so going to kick ass. I so want a Master Chief cameo.

Its odd, but I wont read into it too much.
See, they both knew they were working on a Halo game so.. I dunno. I just hope it isn't that they were for pushing to new boundaries and 343 as a whole was reluctant. Like I said though, for now Ill hold off judgement.
That is actually surprising to me, but awesome at the same time.
Man, I wish I knew for certain what I am going to college for. I kinda regret changing from Paleontology, and while I did enjoy it I think it I want something more art and story related. Blah.
