I had to check out his Twitter account to see what the fuss was all about. Boy, he really lost it now, didn't he? I almost feel sorry for the man. Almost.
Anybody trusting that dude should think long and hard. Should have been banned with cboat a long time ago. The fact cboat is around here for offenses that for anyone else is a perma ban and has been that way for a very long time is simply amazing.
Like I said with Pete Dodd and was correct 100%; Don't trust any of them.

this exactly. I'm done looking for rumors until E3 or if it comes straight from the mouth of the Devs.

Of all those guys who where mocking, who is not from the UK and from Europe? Because I would like to know why they dissagree with me.

I have zero faith in the Halo series after the disaster that was Halo 4.

Ok
Edit:
Imagine being told that you were responsible for creating a huge and diverse team from scratch, take over one of gamings largest and most iconic franchises from one of the most beloved developers in the industry in a space of about three years and create the sequel to a 5 year old game...Most of the team had never made a Halo game before, they had to learn the technology, art, lore and how to function together as a rapidly expanding team within that time span... All on ancient hardware...
Fucking good first attempt.
Disaster? Really?
I wouldn't call Halo 4 a disaster. Did it go back on a lot of the things that made Halo special? Yeah. Was it a Halo game true to heart? Ehh, debatable. But it wasn't a bad game, just not the Halo game a lot of people were looking for.
Halo 4 had a lot of problems, and many argue it is the worst in the series, but "disaster" is a bit much.
the thing about reach for me is that there was freedom for bungie to design and plan things out. If you wanted you could start everyone with the exact same load-out, and you could remove that random factor, sure everyone might have sprint, but by now most gamers are attuned to it. Did it cause problems? yes, it forced longer engagement and bigger maps since time to get from cover was so much shorter, hence why the dmr extended the range for the BR and why it was such a necessity in that regard.
I guess my over all opinion between reach and halo 4 is that bungie made considered decisions about everything they did, then continued to balance the game when the community raised valid points. When you think about why they extended the distance of the DMR compared to the BR its because they assumed armor abilities like sprint would force a more rigid dichotomy in the close range and long range. Either you stay far away or you use your armor abilities to get in close/cover. In halo 4 it feels like 343 just threw in everything including the kitchen sink, and hoped for the best, I think halo 4 feels good, from an engagement aspect, but things feel incredibly random. Not only that it doesn't support players. I remember one game where I was wrecking with my dmr, but eventually i ran completely out of ammo, there was no way for me to continue playing and doing well because there are no weapons to pick up. The only way i could get more ammo was to kill myself, which was the breaking point for me. I shouldn't be punished because I'm doing well, especially when I've never played any other multiplayer game which did that.
Probably because it is Halo, but Halo 4 was the game that I really liked, but hated because it had such glaringly obvious flaws. I will say, that it was a disaster at launch, but no more.
-Various audio/visual glitches.
-Very, very debatable balance choices (i.e. Boltshot, DMR, Beam Rifle aim assist, etc.)
-The snafu with the first DLC
-Spartan Ops issues
-Lack of an actually good "Pro" playlist (and it was quickly removed and unavailable for a while)
-More I can't remember off the top of my head or can't type on my phone. I have not played the game anytime recently, but I haven't played any games recently, really.
That being said, I enjoy a billion times more now than I did at launch, it's pretty fun with friends.

Add me to the list. If "disaster" is too strong of a term for the more sensitive types out there, then lets just call it a disappointment.
Agreed. Good game, but I don't like it remotely as much as any of Bungie's efforts. Enormous disappointment.
I hope 343i can turn things around, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Maybe it depends on how you mean "disaster". That Halo 4 continued down Reach's path and made other questionable decisions might be considered disastrous, though the result was still a decent game.
See that's fair, but "disaster" that just not right. Worst it the worst Halo yes, but it was not a bad game you guys way to harsh on 343.

With that said, I can see why someone would have little to no faith in 343i's ability to deliver a compelling MP experience after Halo 4.
Yep.

They missed the mark so much that faith is no longer an option. And I was hoping for a good halo after reach.
Disaster? yeah, for the halo series... halo 4 mp was a disaster.

I could agree with that... But worst Halo is still damn high praise from me.
Reach was fine in my book minus the Armor lock and bloom.

You say disaster, I say easily the best game in the franchise with the most enjoyable Halo campaign I've ever played.
Uiki

Yeah, even halo 4 is fine in my book.
Without perks, maps, lol weapons and drops.
I would totally play a Halo like that.
Again.

Halo 4 was pretty disappointing for me especially MP wise. The loadouts and lack of proper weapon control was disappointing. Spawning with plasma grenades ruined vehicle use. Vehicles were just easier to take out in general. Maps weren't very great or memorable. I have no idea why these devs are afraid of the old Halo 2/3 ranking system. It gives incentive to teamwork and truly competitive play. To many weapons that played similar and just lacking character in general. I'm not sure how I feel about sprint in halo but I have no doubt that feature isn't going anywhere. AAs just make the Hal formula too messy IMO. Ordinance just doesn't feel very halo.
All this being said, Halo 4 was a pretty good game but never lived up to its own franchise. It was too easy to put down for me and I'm a huge halo fan. Halo 4 a disaster? No. Halo 4 pretty disappointing? Sure.

How many hours have you put into the Halo 4 Campaign. Serious question, because I put about 150+ hours into Reach campaign and over 500 hours into Halo CE campaign. I stopped playing Halo 4 after I finished my first Heroic playthrough.
Whenever I see people say they loved Halo 4's campaign, I am interested to see how much time they put into it.
No he is a fanboy who likes to play damage control for his chosen corporation under the guise of being 'fair and balanced'. I don't know if people were joking but some were saying he doesn't even have a PS4. I hope that isn't true as it would be extremely odd to stan for a console you don't even have.
I enjoyed Halo 4 
Especially this part!
Especially this part!I hated the Reach Campaign but I still replayed it and had some co-op fun. Halo 4's had no replayability at all.
I enjoyed Halo 4
Yeah, me too. Really beautiful voice.
Goodness gracious. 500 hours into any Halo campaign is insanity. I haven't even put that much time into any of the Bethesda games and there is actually shit to do for all of those hours, lol.
I actually really liked Reach campaign, probably my second favorite, way behind CE, but still really enjoyed it. It's just well designed, good pacing (insert DMR joke here), and had a plethora of unique and epic moments.
I also give it a ton of props for making Elites feel really threatening again, I would have preferred no Brutes at all in the game, hell I would take a good Flood level over Brutes.
