Halo 4 Discussion

I'm hoping the whole "perks" thing doesn't actually have any real basis behind them, and 343 just doesn't want to come out and say that yet. If there is some kind of "perk" system... I'm hoping that it just means that one of the armor sets you can pick for your spartan is an armor ability, or a base weapon load out.

That way you always start the game with a chosen armor ability, or a weapon of your choosing.

This is still a bad idea, but it's better than perks, and it sounds like it might be pretty close to what 343 is talking about, given the vague answers we've gotten so far...

 

You forgot sniping, and that map already exists: Octagon.

Yes, many competitive players love it, but as a warm up or very specific kind of 1v1. I don't know anyone who places it alongside actual maps in terms of preference, let alone thinking it's the best in the game.

 

Or, we could not have any of those things and just H3 equipment again, w/ reach loadouts and AAs as an extra thing for customs only. Also VIP and Invasion

 

So good.

 

I figured that. Its pretty old... It just never GETS old

Hmmmm....

 

Is that concept art? Good lord, that's gorgeous.

 

Reminds me of this



From Greg Bear's Halo Cryptum book.

And just figured out why, the Greg Bear books use Halo 4 cover art for the book covers...derp

 

And both made by Sparth.

 

That's the thing I don't want it but it's how I see 343 taking it :/.

 

...you see 343 doing a very specific list of things more or less mimicking call of duty?

 

Not exactly but similar.. Frankie said they're not called perks, my guess is that they basically will be. If armour effects gameplay, it will be very perk-like :/

 

This. If in Custom Games you can have some Loadouts with AA's and others with Equipment I'm gonna make an Invasion gametype as soon as it comes out.

 

They're not going to create a loadout feature and AAs and make it available only for customs. Not gonna happen.

 

They might make a weapon load out feature.

 

The more I think about it the more and more Halo 4 is starting to seem like a crappy Crysis ripoff. Even if it should sort of be the other way around?

 

... no?

What supporting evidence do you have for this?

 

- Half perk style thing
- Larger weapons
- Change of pace
- Change of music
- Me in general being correct at everything BECAUSE I AM THE BAWSS URGH AARHHH AAHHHHH

 

You have just described Call of Duty.

 

I just want the game to be fair, non-gamebreaking, and still have the spirit of halo. =/ We all ***** now, but we all will play it anyway.

 

Yus.

Although I'd like equipment back and dynamic objects in forge.

I like the way it's going otherwise.

Halo Reach was a step away from the trilogy-style.. so I think Halo 4 will be a step up from the trilogy-style.. makes sense, right?
