Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
8 weeks Ghal?! Damn, that's nice. Too bad you couldn't take that time off in November huh?
Apparantly this is more fun during the summer. I've got November 6th off, though.

I hate Reach but I'm super excited for Halo 4.
Just because loadouts and armor abilities don't work in Reach, doesn't mean they won't work in H4.
There have been plenty of games where both loadouts/unlocks (rainbow six, cod4) and abilities (shadowrun) have worked excellently for competitive multiplayer.
As long as all the starting weapons are balanced off each other, loadouts could work fantastically.
And if the weapons don't turn out balanced, then everyone will use the OP one and it'll be same old Halo.
But if the loadout changes do actually work, then there will be a awesome new variety to Halo gunplay that we haven't had since H2.
As for Armor Abilities... I'll hold my opinions until we find out what changes have been made to them.

I think at this point anyone who's familiar with Halo at all would be "stupid" not to be pessimistic to cautiously optimistic with Halo 4 at this point. It's not like those in HaloGAF that bitch as much as they do don't care and are simply bitching just to bitch. They complain because they care, if that wasn't the case they wouldn't be here at all. The last thing that Halo needs is just circle jerk feed back and "D slurping." And from what I've seen the majority of HaloGAF isn't happy with Reach OR the announcements with Halo 4 at all.
If one of the most adamant "Halo" groups feel like this and are this vocal about their favorite franchise, I'm pretty confident there's a sizable population outside of GAF feeling the same way, aside from the living dead playing mouth breathers.
Devs should be happy when complaining like this happens, even if it's given in a spiteful/joking manner. Because if someone takes the time to complain and consistently complain, it means they are still a fan. And that means they can still make things work.

But they still start off even. Everyone is the same when they enter the match, it's what they do with it that sets them apart.

Someone make team t-shirts, asap.
I'd say we should use avatars for each team, but then we'd just have wolf shirts.

Bungie updated their entrance with Destiny stuff.

Speaking of which, the suit between Silicon Knights and Epic should be hitting the courts in a few weeks. I cannot wait for the revelations

Don't listen to bobs, he doesn't beat anyone in his so called 1v1's. He's a baaaaaaad kid. Even bought his 50 in Halo 3.

Raped him on Guardian the other day. And I'm bad at Halo 3

Wow that looks great. Really cool touch with all their games listed on the left.
Wow! Forgot about that. It's been like 4 years lol
My thoughts exactly. Though i don't hate Reach, merely dislike it as a Halo game, it is a good game, just not a good Halo game. Indeed i think of Reach as "Reach", not Halo: Reach as it would have been were it up to par.
No single aspect of Reach was the reason for it being a weak Halo game, it was the combination of them and mistakes in invidual elements.
And there ain't a single playable game that is as fun to play with a friend online (Halo 3 is in unplayable state, too few people playing it and way too laggy), most games don't allow guests/splitscreen play... Good thing Halo 4 will offer both. It will do, right? If it doesn't, i will really need to reconsidering getting it. Splitscreen playing (with guests, not paying for another Gold profile) is an integral part of Halo for me, a must have.
EDIT Halo 4 is offering a lot of what i want from a Halo, my only (bigger) issues at the moment are instant respawing and armor pieces impacting the game. Perks/Modifications/whatever they're called not so much, visual customization should be just that, visual. Need details of that system soon.

Hell yes. Love building a pc.
Want to break down the specifics? What monitor did you end up getting?
Any specific games you're looking forward to playing it with?

Oh nice. Hopefully this means the long darkness is soon over. I would die if something appeared at E3. Although I know it won't.
Welcome to the club. PC gaming really has come into it's own anymore thanks to Steam and other resources like that. There is just something about buying a game, having it install, and stay updated without going through so much bullshit. It helps that it has the features of Live I like such as voice chat, text chat, etc all at the touch of a button and in any game you're running with steam.
Ball so hard Amazon wants to Prime me.
Sorry.
Re: shogun
I actually liked (loved) Reach and am definitely above the range of pessimistic to cautiously optimistic. I also wanted to see the most fundamental tuning of Halo, outmatched by few here. 343 went in a completely different direction than what I envisioned and I certainly have a few or more issues with certain elements. All the same, I'm beyond hyped and severely doubtful I won't like whatever Halo 4 will be given current information. I still understand and empathize with the more "down" posters, and some good points are certainly raised from that camp. So I don't really agree that I'm (or any like minds are) "stupid," for the reasons outlined above, shogun.
With the specs that money can buy, life.

I just can't deal with the fact that there are instant respawns*. It's just something that's quintessentially not Halo to me.
Just recently started playing Tribes Ascend, and one of the first things that brought a smile to my face was the respawn timer.

It also has some real deal CTF. It's a pretty refreshing experience all around.
:lol The Waypoint kids do love my Frankie stories. I don't think it endangers my blog though, i sure as hell ain't in this gig for the money.
Indeed.
As for Tribes Ascend, it is a yet another game i'd love to play but i don't have a computer capable of running it. Though i don't know what i'd do if i had such a PC and once MechWarrior Online comes. Two interesting F2P online games... sort of okay with not having a good PC...
