Seriously
That is a really dumb argument and an even dumber comparison

So now the reason that people don't like the MP isn't the AAs and weapon drops that are "CODish"? Please enlighten me. I must have missed that thread page.

Still downloading from press site. Then I'll put a few sexy ones out.

I don't get it, did Bungie just not have any competent artists? Why is this one so much better looking than the others? I'm not complaining, this looks amazing.
You said the Campaign and the MP would be the same because there are AA's and Player Progression
Dude
Cmon
I don't even think I have a gif for that!
Edit: This one seems to do the job!

This has to be the best looking console game yet! HOLY SHIT!
Jesus wept.
People don't like weapon drops in a competitive setting, they don't like armour abilities that offer an innate advantage to opposing players, interfering with Halo's golden tripod, they don't like an experience system that benefits the individual and exists to unlock armour, and weapons, and more perks that stimulate player attributes before the game's even begun.
They aren't arsed about any of these things in a singleplayer environment, because the campaign doesn't exist to offer a competitive stimulus, nobody holds an advantage over you because it's a solo (or co-operative affair). Weapon pickups benefit the player, or his friends, not an opponent. As do armour abilities, or if the AI is using one they're an obstacle designed for player engagement, not obtruding into a one on one dynamic.
Your comprehension of this, or lack thereof is stunning.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
SO they choose the most boring Knight design?
Damn i dont think ill ever fully open up to the Knights, they just dont seem interesting.
The weapons of the Forerunners are just as boring....seriously i havent been this uninterested in characters and weapons since forever.
Considering this is a Halo game i am disappointed.

No, i said the campaign and MP will share the same shit that people have been criticizing the MP for. Everyone thats down on the MP has made this criticism. The AA and Weapon drops. Everyone. And that's the ONLY reason why they are so skeptical of the MP. Well i got news for you, the AA and maybe even the weapon drops don't just disappear cause its the SP. I like reminding people of that. If you dont understand that fact then i dunno how much better to explain it to you.
Criticizing the MP for being COD'ish, but put those in the SP and its just genius? Wow. Wheres the gif for that?
You aren't isolating these features in their respective contexts, though. You've adopted this brick minded approximation of sensory feedback that lacks any sort of finesse or understanding.
It's like saying you love whiskey, so you drink it for breakfast with your toast. And it's fucking broken to the point of being baffling.

Context, Silly.Mikey. I think some people are sceptical of those additions to certain multiplayer gametypes largely because they think they will negatively affect the balance of the competitive multiplayer gameplay - these things don't have the same impact in the largely non-competitive environment of campaign.

I understand it quite well. Using COD features against people, bad. Using it against AI, incredibly original and exciting.
Truth and Reconciliation.
You've still missed the point.
Those overlapping features drop into the periphery when the Campaign takes centre stage. We see Prometheans, and mystery, and glorious artwork, and the Master Chief, and guns that shift and build in the palm of your hands. That's why people are excited by these videos.
I agree. Both Turn 10 and 343 have produced some amazing tech, so I hope they continue to make more internal studios from scratch.

Competitive...please. You people talk as if you make 100k a year playing Halo. Jesus Christ lol
We'll disagree on this one, nothing in that vid looked even remotely "boring" not the Knights and most definitely not the weapons. The Promethean weapons look more interesting than the Covvie weapons from previous Halos( minus the Needler) and the Knights look like they may be as challenging and fun to fight as the Elites were...
Yeah going by those two studios i am even more interested in seeing what Vancouver and Victoria can do.

If the Promethean weapons are literally part of the enemies, why don't they dissolve with the rest of the body when killed? And why are they able to be fired with a trigger? 
Game looks great. I can't wait to play it!

Gun Animations Goblishly Spectacular
Thanks Kibbles
Because the Promethean weapons animate to form into a weapon that the user can use so it adapts to differenct physiciology.

lolwut? So in order for something to be competitive you have to make money off it. K.
Oh dear lord.
Competitive doesn't mean 'MLG PRO', it means one human being opposing another. My nan playing Halo multiplayer against my aunt is, by definition, competitive. It's multiplayer designed to stimulate and support competition.
