I want a XBOX sooo badly. Dx

Ok then, i want some games that are made for the Xbox. T-T

Yeah, you're bigger lol.

Why, thank you :)

that being said, can i play Halo CE on Windews H8? I also heard a rumor about an OS that can play Xbox360 games, but I highly doubt it.

-

there are only 7 terminals in an 8-level campaign?(not counting the prologue)

Halo 4. Was great.

Overall, I would definitely put it on par with Halo 3.

Pros - Gameplay is a lot more challenging and dynamic, rather than the old 'hmm, horde of flood coming at me.. oh wait, where's the arby?'(dies.) Allies halped.
-Crawlers, Promethean Knight and Watcher makes and epic combination.
-Saw and Shotty are fun.
-Pelicanz!
-Broadswordz!
-I liked the look of the new armor. While such armor things as Mark VI helmet were disgusting, thigns like the recruit and warrior armor were epic.
-Did I say Pelicanz?
-Mammoth is epic. Just saying.
-That cutscene where he flew down onto the Lich made my mouth water... shame he didn't actually run across them. If they did that... I would give it a ten out of ten just for that moment.
-Dominion. Is. Awesome.
-Forge is really cool.


Cons
-No jumping across lichs? Burn the heretic. (If you get that reference, you are my friend... like it or not.)
-Weapon sounds?
-Some armor just looks really stupid, and I wonder how they could have made it so stupid. Oh well, at least they'll get fan feedback and create awesome armor for halo 5.
-Grunt sharks? Seriously?
-Finnicky crouching. It was good in some parts, but crouch jumping is really hard. And no flashlight?
-Incineration cannon is stupid.
- It is really easy to blow through ammo on the lightrifle and battle rifle.
-No truly awesome moments that you will always replay.

My Recommendations:
-VISR. They could make it so awesome.
-Orange is ugly. Use less.
-They could make more of an attempt to capture memorable moments. That is what set Halo aside from other games: Memorable moments that you play and play and play and play and play and play and play and play until somehow you get the red ring of death.
-Make the lightrifle and battle rifle less fast, and with more of an effect. I liked the boom of the battle rifle.
-Maybe we could use EVA thrusters...

Oh, did I forget to mention the opening prologue was simply awesome?

EDIT: And what the hell is up with not getting credits, or armor upgrades from playing campaign? That was my favorite aspect of Reach and 3 (in multiplayer.) I'm not that avid a multiplayer guy, but I want to be able to have SOME good armor from playing legendary. Otherwise, why keep replaying it on legendary?

Not really. Its actually a bit easier to shoot grenades now. They die from themselves.

But I was actually dissapointed overall. Not by much, though. Its still a really good game.

elites looked sluggish, maybe they got different combat training?? Covenant/Pirate? I'd wish they replaced the elites with brutes, so it would feel like the 1st level of halo 3, close quarters combat with brutes, crawlers etc.

My review is just based on the whole campaign video I watched. So in terms of numbers 6.5/10.

I wish. I heard they were all fake and viruses. :| Pm me with a link if they are real?

So that you can not play them and just look at discs?

Sounds fun to me. :D

I ment some games that are for the xbox. Meaning some games that were made for the xbox only, being ported over. Ex. Halo 3 Halo4 Ect. And even if all i get is a bunch of game disk for the xbox, i'll just sell them all. >|:D heh-heh-heh.

thats an understatement, my pc that i built can run skyrim and bf3 on full at the same timethough not really practical since you can only play one at a time XD

but it can barely emulate the legend of zelda wind waker at 24 fps

to emulate an Xbox 360... i;m guessing you'll need a NASA supercomputer

now to be on topic...

the campaign of halo 4 felt to me like a Micheal bay movie, using huge explosions and amazing cinematic's to cover up the lack of a good story. it had its moments but it wasn't all there

-SPOILERSthe fact that they seem to have done away with cortana kinda ruins the series for me, i mean come on the is one of the main characters.

and the mission with the broadsword? they really want a lawsuit don't they XD

and also isn't it a bit odd that they never explained why the covenant are attacking you again.

Vehicles

the new pelican is ugly

still its cool that you get to fly it

the mammoth is awesome

and so is the warthog

the broadsword is actually pretty cool looking


and the lich is also pretty cool, i love the idea of a flying scarab



the campaign was short and kind of disappointing i personally would rank it between halo 2 and reach.

the multiplayer is almost as good as halo 3 though which makes it completely worthwhile to buy.

Seems like everyone here is more concerned with campaign then multiplayer to be honest.

Those who play it for campaign... yeah i can see you guys being disapointed, thats understandable.

The multiplayer is really good though if i do say so myself. Quiet frankly on the multiplayer side (which is the only reason i play the game) I think its the best halo to date.

Like i said though, campaign is a whole different can of soup.

also @killzone64 i think its CPU speed rather then GPU to be honest. I get like 60 fps (though i chose to play at 30 for the fact that these games were designed for 30; i.e. audio glitches)

it looks cool but i never said anything about it fitting into the halo universe, same with the mantis

oops i was replying to tiel about the broadsword. hit the wrong button XD

I'll see if i can find a way to post some gameplay... kind of hope 343 is doing that "download clip file" feature that bungie did so i dont need a capture card

And i noticed someone here watches InuYasha<3

The vehicles play much nicer than before imo. It is their own art though, each unto his own I guess. To the person who complained about them retroactively changing story details, each halo has been pretty bad at respecting hte games beforehand

In Halo 1 we were told the Covenant believed Halo was a weapon
In Halo 2 it was a holy object to start the great journey.
In Halo 3 it was a way for the prophet of truth to kill all life in the galaxy
In Halo 3: ODST, all of the ships carried Brutes and not elites, despite it was an Elite fleet on earth in H2.
In Reach... well I don't think I have to start, Cortana and the POA is enough.

The game series is full of inconstancies, I don't think it's fair to knock H4 for any violations the other games shared.

Not to mention that one time I started a whole thread about the Brute betrayal happening days after the New Mombassa slipspace rupture, but the elites in Earth (just hours after the event) were being murdered by the brutes... Whatever.

Reach, as masterz said, Cortana and POA (lol)

Ha, so technically he still has the same armor he got in the beginning of Halo 2? Nice.

They should've used the appropriate character models instead of using the same one for all time periods.

the halo 2 and halo 3 armors are obviously different, despite halo 3 taking place directly after halo 2. I mean, just look at those hand plates!

I feel most people here are playing for the campaign rather then multiplayer?

Well i was asking about the people here on halomaps, so yeah seems like people here only care for singleplayer.

The fact is ever since halo 2 its been aimed at multiplayer. Thats what gives a game replay value is playing with your friends. I feel multiplayer enough is what should drive someone to buy a game (unless we are talking assassins creed or splinter cell) . Story is just the cherry ontop. 343 could have released a multiplayer only game and most people would still have bought it. I feel competitive multiplayer is where its at, and thats where 343 excelled at.

The campaign could have been master chief goes to Disneyland with cortana and i wouldn't care as long as the competitive multiplayer is spectacular, which i think it is in this game. Dont get me wrong, its nice and all that they have a story going for them but i've been doing lan parties and multiplayer since halo 1, i feel the majority of the game lies in multiplayer.

As far as halo ce goes for me? I only play it for the new modified campaigns it has. Net code sucks and multiplayer is only good for lan parties. The day they make no "bullet lag" for pc is the day i click "multiplayer" on my halo ce game.

I like how Chief just acts depressed right after Cortana dies. Its really nice.

Thats what I'd like to see in Halo 5. He is more silent, but prone to outbursts as well. Eg, rages at Palmer. In cutscenes, while Spartan IVs are chatting, he just looks outwards.

But I reckon they're gonna add Fred, Kelly and Linda in. Which would be epic.

Human-Sangheili allies for Halo 5?

Please tell me we are going to get to see some H4 weapons in CE. Especially the Prometheans' weapons, which were frickin sweet.

Most of the Forerunner and new H4 weapons aren't possible in CE anyway, there is some ideas floating around with OS to expand on the .weapon tags.

If you are referring to Fred,Linda and Kelly,they're still alive.
They were added to the Spartan IV program after they got out of Onyx.
It's 100% possible that the Chief could reunite with them.

that confused me to until I found out that apparently another novel continued their story (I think it was one of Greg Bear's crap novels)

I hate what they've done with the forerunner story. I liked the new more character based story they're going with the characters, makes it feel like characters are actual in depth people with personalities rather than just objective givers. However the forerunner backstory, complete and utter crap. I'm pretty sure Bungie had wanted humans to actually be descendants of forerunners, not a completely different creature that waged war with them and lost. The fact that Precursors are a thing is just the perfect example of how terrible the lore is now. However, the campaign, despite all that is really fun. BUT, 343 does not know when to end a fight. They never gave the player that pause from combat to get their crap together like every halo does, and if they gave some breathing room, it was ridiculously short. The sheer number of encounters makes me afraid to go back and play through the campaign because I know I'll start raging from the amount of dying I'll inevitably do. I could stand the last level where you race to stop the antoganist but they keep throwing wave after wave of encounters in your way, and by the time your done killing you forget most of the current plot and that time is supposedly of the essence. I don't know if they're aware of Guerilla Warfare (running and gunning), but there were moments when encounters should've been modeled with that idea in mind. But no, every encounter was an upfront slugging match, which by the end of each level had me thoroughly pissed off.

As far as multiplayer, I feel I'll be playing this game for years without tiring out from it. REGICIDE FTW

Sorry ? Why ?

From what I've seen most are actually. I mean alot of the promethean weapons are just alteranative versions to already existing guns in terms of functionality.

Surpressor and the Boltshot are doable

Light rifle we can't change projectile per zoom level.
Incineration Cannon and the Scattershot can't disintergrate properly in CE, other than that, they can be fine.
Binary rifle has the laser pointer on it make sure that when someone uses it everyone can see where they are aiming from.
Railgun requires 2 charged triggers, one for medium charge and one for overload charge.
LMG has more bullets than the h1 HUD allows, I suppose you could do a bar for it.
Sticky Det has 2 firing modes, fire projectile, detonate projectile.

I forgetting anything else?

cant do the energy sword or hammer properly, at least last time i remember it was rather difficult to incorporate into halo ce.

Don't have the .weapon make the projectiles, merely check the players zoom level, and if they fire (heat, ammo, or age change), use a scripted effect to create the projectile.

Make all regions destroyable, just give them a senseless amount of damage to be destroyed. Have their destroyed effect creating ash or whatever.

So, just make a projectile that is always being fired from the gun. Instant laser pointer.

Use charging animations to determine charge level, then script effect projectilez.

.. How many bullets does this gun have? lol. Anyways, im sure we could do it.

script create some bomb, use that object name to destroy it when you want to detonate it. Or, make the projectile destroyable and some uncommon material like monitor, and have the detonate send a damage_effect that kills that material, and the projectiles destroyed is detonating (worse, but easier to implement. Anyone could blow up anyones projectiles)

Possible to do with 100% misfire chance and a damage effect in the misfire effect. (not affecting owner)

Where did it say Fred them were added to the IV program? Not that it's a big deal but just curious. I know they escaped Onyx but i missed the part where they were added are you sure, thought they were still in the II program.
