Dat limited edition. Holy FUU.... £65! That is quite a lot. But clever marketing on 343i's part. That falls slap in the middle of the limited and legendary edition's price, and because people will not be put off the limited by the legendary they will ship more. And make more money. That sir, is quite smart. /me claps. P.S. DAT BOX!
I'm trying to work out the value for money, at least for the bits that interest me. The preorder on 3 DLCs is the only real reason I'm considering it. Based on the online price of MS points, and assuming 800msp DLCs, we're talking £20.40 value for the DLC part alone. £65 - £40 (game) - £20.40 (DLC) = £4.60 for the rest of the stuff. That's actually pretty good.
Although I find the entire idea of specializations stupid, getting access to a bunch of them for having a big wallet is pretty ridiculous. Also, I really don't understand the point of giving access to a 90 min video because that will just get posted on YouTube the same day. I would probably buy this solely for the map packs and extra armor + skins.
Yeah, so I wont be getting the LE. I really dont care about any of that stuff and if I like the MM I will get the DLC when that comes. Rather see the game before I drop 40 extra dollars on it.
Good find. Seems to me that the hit box issue is still GIANT! I mean, you can be fully off the character and still get a red hit box. I hate the text that pops up in the middle of the screen. It gets in the way. And no, its not a placeholder. An image came up at the same time. I also have a dislike for that BR sound. They did play it with more bass towards the end, but it sounds so underdeveloped. Kinda like Justin Bieber. Yeh, it sorta sounds OK but theres no depth to it, and after 0.0000000001 seconds its so annoying you want to rip your testicles off with an iron and plyers in order to make it stop.
I kinda see what you mean, but I don't think it is as big as you're making it sound. When I see the reticle turning red from "missing", it seems to be that the corner of the reticle is touching them. I could see how that would get in the way, but how do medals (ones that look unfinished) finalize the text? I think it is the lack of all of the background noise and bass (so we can hear Frankie) that makes it sound like a paintball gun/bubble-wrap, but I'm probably wrong there. Nope, you crossed the line.
from a techincal point of view i.e. he doesent autotune that much. and you can see why he does it. Also, Dat (hit)BOX! OMG!
Yeah, the hitboxes do look very H2/Reach-esque judging from what we've seen so far. Not a huge fan, but at least it's something we're used to. I wonder how bullet magnetism will be, harder to judge from videos.
This is a serious spoiler. Click at your own risk. I do not recommend. This is a short sentence. I'm Morgan Freeman. Spoiler And worst of all... Halo minus 4 anybody?
To be honest, from one of my view points I haven't like a single thing they've shown about this game, other than the art direction. From the other view point, I like all the customization that BF3/MW offers, and while I would rather have a good Halo game, I'm looking at this as simply a good alternative to buying any Call of Duty game. Is that bad?
This game is really turning out the be the horses' arse, I'll tell ya. They released Limited Edition info before even calming our complaints about MP? Really? Weapon skins? Season Pass? C'mon MS, I really truly believed you wouldn't cash cow Halo. I knew it was a cash cow on its own but I never expected a sellout of this proportion. People keep saying that but I dunno. Look at CoD, you have tons of weapon/other thing unlocks every level until 80. You also kill people in 3 bullets. Halo 4 won't be that. They're unlocks sure, but there appears to only be a few guns to start with and AAs are nothing like CoD. DMR is still a five shot and decently slower than CoD and the BR is actually slowed down to a five. People can actually strafe and jump to avoid bullets so battles last longer. It'll be an entirely different beast from "I see you, your dead" CoD gameplay, which is what I play CoD to play personally. Halo 4 will just be a more extreme version of Reach and man, I hate Reach.
I honestly am becoming hopeful for this game. No game footage I have seen looks bad at all (so far) and putting aside the obvious artistic beauty, I think the weapons, characters (aside from cortana, I have never liked her), and method of play (such as movement and statistics of data) this looks like a pretty damn fun game. Sure, I am not happy at all about seeing that the jet pack is back in, and overall not that excited for anything that resembles an armor ability (I dont mind sprint, it should be there I think), but the game looks like it will be well done and play very well as far as I can tell. I love that the DMR and BR and AR are all in this as starting weapons, it makes me quite ecstatic in fact, as they all have their own place in use. I love the look of the spartans and the maps shown to us look like really unique and interesting play spaces. I personally beleive that all the complaining is done by those who will for Halo not to change- but for it not to change is spelling doom for the franchise. Of course this is all speculation, but that's how this all appears to me. I think with every bit of information 343 is releasing I am getting more excited for this. Just throwing this out there I suppose.
I've heard a lot of stuff they've added that I don't like, yes... but I have to openly agree that I don't have much to complain about whenever I see more gameplay footage. It just looks fun. Hopefully it will be. I am not judging them until I play it myself.
Gameplay looks very impressive. Jump height is great. I just hope these skins are really subtle and not over-the-top.
They are generally distracting and annoying I think. I know if I see a flaming gun I just get bothered, even if Im not using it. Its its a subtle change I dont mind
