Sorry, but this game is a very far cry from Halo 2. It is no longer a true Halo game. It is Call of Duty on steroids, with some Halo characters, weapons and storyline.

Halo characters and weapons?!

Halo names maybe...

I'd reserve your judgment for when the game comes out. From my perspective, it's looking a lot like the cut throat nature of Halo 2's multiplayer.

I'm sorry but am I the only one who remembers a small part of an announcement a while back which stated that they had plans for a Halo 3 PC as well as H3 Custom Edition? I'm thinking 343 will turn out to treat us more kindly than Bungie.

Do share the source of this information for those like me who live in caves.

If you seriously read any of that you are horribly wrong.

Aye!

I suppose interpretations are different. I see multiplayer (not the release or launch media) being comparable to Halo 2's competitive mindset. Regardless, I don't see anything like "Call of Duty on steroids." It's the modern take on how FPS games should be played according to the majority of players on XBL playing CoD and BF3. Halo has strive in the market to survive. Deal with it.


And I take this part of the statement as nonsensical, thoughtless, and relatively inflammatory.

I like poodles.

You win this time Lodex....BUT I'LL BE BACK.

I think he likes poodles.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

You're welcome Sidekick Oblivious.

I thought it was very effective in Reach once you knew how to use it. Hell, I switched using the DMR to using the AR most of the time because I figured the best way to time and place my shots. It makes me wonder how the AR will perform in Halo 4 though. I still hope it retains the reticule bloom in the crosshair simply because it made aiming so much better with the AR.

I highly doubt it'll be added to Halo 4, but I'd have loved if they had implemented iron sights into the Halo games. I dunno how that'd work, exactly, given the designs of some of the weapons, but I just feel so... imprecise when I'm firing from the hip.

Having iron sights would both simultaneously be awesome and bad. Awesome because firing from iron sights is way more fun and bad because that's uncharacteristic of every halo game ever.

The only problem with iron sights that I see is that it is uncharacteristic of Spartans in general; they are such highly trained soldiers that they are as accurate as possible without aiming down sights, which would only slow them down.

Some of these posts make me laugh :L

I'll try to find the video. It was a pre-trailer I saw posted on Modhalo.

In other words..this is not a game you will be getting. I am little bit more excited after carefully reading through the article. I honestly couldn't care less about how the game looks. If the story is there, If it feels real. Then this will be a game that I am getting.

I would pay for it.

just got banned from waypoint for some reason, probably because someone said the people hating on 343 were braindead, and i called them braindead in return.

Yoyorast Island is awesome. Plus Yoyorast himself offered to work on Halo 4. ;)

Lumoria is also awesome. Doubt the team'd agree to work on Halo 4 though.

I wonder what old accounts Jim has used before.
That said, I do enjoy turtles.

I actually haven't used any old accounts on this forum, I just find the fact that anyone would even THINK Micro$oft would consider using user-made maps (even if they are good) for halo 4 hilarious

This guy... *facepalm*.

On the other hand. There is a possibility, although it might be slim.

343 sounds like it's being trained by Microsoft specifically to promote the game.

There are two possibilities from this.
They could either say

"Hey, this sounds like a great idea! Plus we could then advertise that we support the community!"
or
"Sorry, but we're not allowed to allow user maps due to attempting to avoid ever supporting the community in any way. We wish to avoid being cool people that like modding because we're only really in it for the money."

I think we have to look at this from a developer's perspective. Sure, Yoyorast Island is awesome, but does it really fit with the current theme of the Halo franchise?

You don't even know what the current theme of the Halo franchise is!

Plus the map can be RETEXTURED and the models can be changed to a different style in order to accomodate the new theme of Halo 4 anyway! I'm sure yoyorast wouldn't mind if the ramps in his map were changed from human to forerunner or to covenant in order to accomodate Halo 4's 'style'.

For the love of... Yoyorast island is not going to be in Halo 4, and neither is any other of the CE communities maps or projects, period, end of story.

Why are we arguing about this?

The newest copy of Game Informer have been released. It show many screen shots as well as some kick-a$$ concept art. Don't believe me? Go here if you like Spoliers about what will and might be in Halo 4.

WARNING WARNING.....SPOILER ALERT!

http://thereclaimers343.blogspot.ca/2012/04/halo-4-gameinformer-may-issue-screens.html

The Spoiler Alert has now ended. You can now return to Life.

We're not. I find the fact that anyone would even see a tiny, tiny, microscopic chance that it would ever happen hilarious. I doubt Microsoft even knows about the Halomaps community, let alone Yoyorast.

They know, and link to it in the Halo 2 Vista editing kit manual.

Regardless, you get my point: Yoyorast will not be in Halo 4. Ever. It's just not in the nature of microsoft.
