Story time!

Remember the kid who thinks I'm a Bungie employee? Well, he got credit banned on Reach. Now he's appealing to me through voice messages. I wish I could capture this. Shit's so priceless.

The best part about this is that I've never actually stated that I'm an employee. Just by using ";)" in response to his question, he's gone on a rampage thinking I'm an employee. I'm gonna have to break it to him soon. It's gonna be like breaking up with Sai all over again.

This is kind of random, but is it weird that one of the things I want in Halo 4 the most is camera bob? For me, it really adds to the immersion factor. Based on the gifs, it looks like it does, but I'm not sure.

Like camera moving up and down when you run?

That's horrible. I don't want to feel like I'm inside a washing machine while playing a game

I don't know how you can add immersion to the Halo 4 experience. I look at Warhouse, and I think of it chugging at 24fps, with text in the middle of my screen, rockets falling onto my head and killing me, enemies randomly spawning behind me, people calling in attack grunts, my BR shaking with cinematic recoil, nades realistically getting caught in metal panels on the wall, skyboxes, and I think to myself "this is peak immersion". We are in immersion squared. We are exponentially immersed.

Are you going to just do this for the whole thread again?

kylej just wait until E3. If Halo 4 looks as horrible as you say it is, then I will make a mega post claiming how right you are.

here's an early list

  1. Warhouse will be terrible
  2. Guardian will be revealed at e3
  3. Recoil will be good in theory, terrible in practice
  4. Monks will chant when you level up
  5. Walls will flicker to remind you you're in the Infinity hologram system
  6. AR and other "easy" guns wont have recoil
  7. Forge won't be as good as an XBLA dirt bike game or 4 year old Ubisoft game, but it will have a color palette and be easier to use
  8. Theater will have render to Youtube option
  9. The Pit is probably in Halo 4 too
  10. No customizable control schemes

I was playing Halo 3 campaign with a couple friends today, and man is it just as epic as I remember. The music combined with Master Chief, those cutscenes, man Reach was nothing compared to this. Seeing the cutscene with the arbiter, miranda keyes, lord hood, the Chief all in one room was just one of those awesome moments I love about Halo. It is really getting me excited about the return of Chief and Cortana, bring on E3!

Yea, playing that mission and cutscene was just an amazing moment of Halo. That cutscene is probably one of the best in all 5 Halo games. Can't wait to see how the dynamic between Cortana works out and how 343 does the narrative.

I think what will make everyone happy is individual gun modifiers. Being able to adjust damage ratios of every gun, adjust bloom, recoil, clip size,...

And please no remakes, unless you release an extra disc/dlc at launch with the game (kind of like what gears did)

No, that will just lead to the mess that is Reach matchmaking with TU, ZB, Vanilla, and Anniversary. I want consistency please. At least with Reach before the TU everything you got was the same.

inb4 "you can probably already do that with perks"

would make for some cool custom games though.

For custom games primarily and for mlg. It would be the same as editing maps and gametypes

You would get fans on message boards like this complaining because their version is so much better and eventually it would get added to matchmaking. Don't wanna see that.
