My personal opinion is that it's pretty good. I am personally happy that they didn't change the animations or any of the other crap you guys are coming up with. Why? Because back in 2001 when the game first came out, I thought it was a beautiful game for its time. It was ground breaking. What 343i set out to do was to make a anniversary updated version of it, and from what we've seen they've accomplished that.
Who cares if the hands aren't on the gun 100%. We still have 4 or 5 months. If they want to do that (which I highly hope they don't) then they still have the time to do it. It's not supposed to be some new game; just updated graphics. They even put in achievements into the game. I've been waiting for that for a long time. Along with the Xbox live coop is just awesome. Like a lot of you said already. Whether you like it or not, you'll still buy the game. Think on this one for a second: When you buy a game, do you really go out and look for all the things that the game designers messed up on, or do you buy the game to enjoy it? |

Actually, I only buy games that are worth every buck. Halo PC for instance. Halo CE comes along, and the possibilities! Worth way more than just 10-20 bucks!
Oh, and if they have a good storyline and gameplay. |

Quote: --- Original message by: DieHard Bob Quote: --- Original message by: HaloIsAHorribleGane Quote: --- Original message by: DieHard Bob I respond much in the same way to this as I did to the above comment. The engine was designed for Halo Reach, with all of it's artistic and gameplay mechanics in mind. You need to keep in mind that there is a team of people working on a game, all at the same time. The engine designers don't just throw something together, give it to the rest of the team and say good luck. They work together. don't lecture me on how they developed a game I was QA for Oh? So I guess you share in the blame as well, huh? Agenda for Halo 4: New Quality Assurance team. way to turn it from a conversation about the engine into an indirect insult in an attempt to strike a nerve. I do find it hilarious that you assume QA has anything to do with the design of the game aside from giving sparse feedback that will more than likely be tossed aside as a bad idea and the occasional bug report. perhaps you should look into what QA actually does before you go blaming them for the game's design and fun factor. that's like saying testers should be blamed for the balance issues in modern warfare 2. you think a bunch of potheads who get paid 10 bucks an hour to try to break a game have anything to do with telling the devs how they should make their games? you think a tester would be able to go up to an engineer and be like "YEAH THIS PERK AND THIS WEAPON TOTALLY OP" without getting scolded for doing a gameplay designers job? oh well. I guess uneducated people who think they know everything gonna be uneducated people who think they know everything.. assuming you're wanting to get into the industry, you should really look into how things roll before you make a fool of yourself during your first interview this deserves a bug report...

It's common to have a player count of at least 100K every day at the right time of day.

I wish that generalization would stop. Then again, it's no different from the generalization that all Americans are idiots, all Europeans are snobs, and all "I like realistic shooter" players are jocks/bros/try-hards/real-life-bigots.

Looked at pages 1,2,3, and 4, but didn't see anything about Forge.
I sort of doubt it, but ya never know....forge for Halo 1 maps would be pretty cool. I love the flop feature, and how you can make it look like Halo 1 again. I like the new graphics they put on. Multiplayer on Halo 1 maps with my friends, with the Reach engine? Pretty awesome imo. |

for your sake, you should resolve this issue. consider this a training exercise Edited by HaloIsAHorribleGane on Jun 9, 2011 at 03:59 AM You ARE aware that you were the first to derail the conversation on the point of you being QA on the game, right? And, as you put it, I shouldn't lecture you because of the title you held. This insinuates that you had some level of importance in the development, giving me a reason not to "lecture" you. Or else why would you have brought it up? And yet you go on to say that your position actually held very little value to the company. So why would it mean anything to me, or prove you know as much about the subject as you suggest you do? The only way to get educated on these subjects is to voice your opinion and learn from there. And that goes for anyone. For me, I was just using common sense, paired with knowledge of reading up on the development of other games which have already been released when voicing my opinion. If I decided to go for your job, sure, I'd go looking for more information on what my employers want before I just jump right in. But you know what? I'd probably warn them in advance that I like to give suggestions. Not that there is much of a chance I'd ever apply for a QA position.
Now for the sake of this topic, I suggest we take this into PM's if you'd like to go any furthur. Edited by DieHard Bob on Jun 9, 2011 at 07:49 PM |

You know what they can do to not make this game look like a milking cashcow?
Halo: Grunt edition Slapstick fun. Having the story told from a new perspective plus more development opportunities for the flood. In the book, Jenkins was able to fight the flood infection to tell the sergeant some useful information(btw this is how you review stuff without spoiling anything). We could have our protagonist, Gruntee the grunt, try and kidnap him even though he would rather stay at the ship and suck on some food nipples(mind you. It's a Halo easter egg reference). Riding...I mean teebagging on humans to make them jump off ledges, escaping the flood infection by hitting them with a frying pan, building traps that fling enemies to the other side of the map, team killing your teammate then placing the blame on that jackal with a blue eye, get pile-drived into the rings chasms, burning someone with a flamethrower and watch them turn into ash instantaneously, KPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (kitty powered gun) riding on steam rollers and "bumper cars!" Won't that be fun? -Zekilk |

I love how everyone says Halo is a cash cow. These guys make video games to make MONEY. That's the only reason they make the games. If they can make money, THEY ARE. You're all stupid if you wouldn't take the chance to make money. Business isn't about letting people have fun, it's about the dollar sign.

This provides the motivation for them to make a great game that the consumer enjoys. Welcome to economics. |

I'm assuming that you have never heard about 5 dollar games before. I am insulted when I hear that because I myself am going into the video game industry...already in it actually.

Making a game by ourselves, a team of youths, making our own little world where we can do anything we want then entering that world; it gives you a funny feeling. Plus sharing the world with everyone, receiving their comments and all would give you a sense of pride. You can expect these games to be on PC. A good example will be Call Of Cthulhu, Killing Floor, Aquaria and Amnesia. The prices were decent and I had fun with it(yeah, you can still have fun even though you need to change your pants everytime that shadow creature claws you). In fact, anyone that chooses the job(e.g. programming) for the money is stupid. You will always be tired eveyday and will frequently have moments where you will search for a meaning in your life.

In Halo ODST, "As much as I like to play the game from a new perspective, I was hoping to play as the covenant this time around. Ah well, this will do nicely."

The Publisher is out to make money for the most part. The developer is out there to create a product that the customer will enjoy, make money to cover expenses it takes to make that product, and make a profit based on revenue sales. In cases like Bungie, it turns into an added purpose of catering to fans to an extent. It's very difficult to tell whether a company does it just for money or for also the addition of a fanbase.
If you should have a problem with anyone, it's the Publisher. Just look at Activision for the best example: they've basically made a literal cash tree from CoD because the series can be expanded on and retain the same value every time for players initially. Now, on top of XBL, they're adding another service that requires payment to use. Note, this is the Publisher and not the developer, so it isn't the same as Bungie Pro because the Publisher has far more money and assets to expend. Bungie Pro is ran by Bungie and therefore uses Bungie's own assets which makes it reasonable for their needing to require currency in exchange for the services. CoD's new service is ran by Activision and does everything that File Share does, but for a price. Back to the direct issue, you're trolling to stir reactions. I'm posting because I hate when people proclaim franchises are cash cows. They are easily not. If that's the case, then Fallout (which has had just as many games as Halo) would be a cashcow. Gears of War would be a cashcow (they have books out). Battlefield would be a cashcow. Your logic is flawed and if serious indicates major paranoia. I enjoy the Halo franchise and can't wait for another adventure in it. It's only a cashcow if it's a rehash of something already done, like game imitating games that have been done 300x over. |

Self interest does NOT mean greed. A chef may make delicious meals for people because he loves to do it, but he still needs to make a profit for two reasons: A.) he needs to pay his bills, and B.) in order purchase necessary items for his business so he can continue to make food. He might also use his profits for a charity, or a bunch of useless jewelry, or to help is family, or to spend it all in a casino. Regardless of how he uses it, in the end he sells his services to make a profit. So do video game companies. So does everyone else. It's not really a bad thing. Because of people wanting to make money, you have great tasting food, working medicine, fun video games, and efficient technology. Edited by GrueHunter on Jun 10, 2011 at 03:30 PM |
