nerds :P
actually tell me how it is.... :) |
I played it for the first time last night. It's just like any other evolutionary Halo... a little different, but I like it. Time suck for sure.
|
I let mine expire, namely just do PC gaming now. However I am still a sucker for Halo so I got it.
Though someone told me there is a pretty cool XBL coop feature in Halo 4. I love coop. Seems tempting because someone said there are new scenarios every week. Replay value has always been the bane of console coop. Been enjoying campaign so far. Characters are much more 3 dimensional. I like the fact there's no flood. The guns are a bit tit for tat, in that different factions seems to have direct analogues which is kinda lame. They seem to have taken the more interesting level/scenario parts of the trilogy and put them in this game. (SPOILERS) So far with the story I am a tad disappointed. They have kinda got all Mass Effect and Assassins Creed on us. (Human DNA was designed to bring us to this exact moment! Great, this shit again...) I am mostly just bitter because there were so many options to explore in the earlier games, and they started pulling the storyline in one direction with Halo 2, only to completely drop the ball and turn everyone into a bunch of tards. Seems to me they just wanted a tie in with the Marathon series and had no plausible way to do it, so they went with the implausible. Also kinda sad because when talking to a friend and fellow fan of the Halo series, I joking made up a ridiculous storyline about the forerunners wanting to capture MC to clone as a supersoldier and that Halsey was a double agent who facilitated all of this. Well that seems to have been uncannily close to the actual story... I expect my friend to be pissed. (/SPOILERS) Anyhow how are y'all liking that Spartan Ops Coop thing? |

[spoilers] The Librarian specifically had it planned so that the MC was able to resist being digitized by The Composer. If you've read any of the Forerunner books, you'll know that The Librarian has done this before with a few different people before the Forerunner/Flood war. She implanted what was called a Geas into 2 humans. Basically genetic memories from the Human/Forerunner war that happened prior to the Forerunner/Flood war. Yes, it's kind of rediculous when you really think hard about it, but the idea was that The Librarian has a way of knowing what needs done x years in advanced to safeguard certain things. In this case it was to safeguard Humanity from the agression and hate of her husband, The Didact. I'm just wondering if this is the original "Ur-Didact" or the imprinted "Bornstellar Didact". [/spoilers] I personally think they knocked it out of the park. The changes to the UNSC weapon sounds are definitely better. Seems more beefy in every aspect, especially the DMR. And the Mantis......oh god the Mantis. Mad Cat/Timberwolf anyone? MP is the same bag of cats as far as "Wargames" goes, and Spartan Ops is just awesome, especially since it actually has an associated storyline. [spoiler] I had to stop and go "Oh My God" when the UNSC Infinity pooped out FRIGATES! [/spoiler] I definitely think this is a positive direction for the series, unlike that idiot from EGM who thought the game needed to be more like Modern Warfare.....:sigh::bs: |

I'm guessing you didn't read the Terminals in Halo 3? Mendicant Bias was present on Installation 04B and The Ark because the Prophet of Truth's Keyship had him as per the "Contact Harvest" novel. Am I the only one who has read any of the books? |

Both aren't complete yet and I think they should've been finished prior to the Halo 4 release. The Forerunner Trilogy kind of helps show how the Librarian is capable of setting events into motion, like what led the MC to being resistant to a certain object. Remember, it wasn't the WHOLE human race who was altered, just the genetic stands that lead to the MC. |
(SPOILERS)I just think the whole reasoning of encoding human DNA to just so happen to create things like the MC, his armor, and Cortana all at the same time, and then just so happening to have them run into the Forerunner artifacts in that lifetime, is a stretch to say the least. To me they could have ignore the whole programmed DNA/intelligent design aspect and it wouldn't have affected the story at all. So many forms of media are using this bizarre plot device and it's fast on its way to becoming cliche.
At least things are better than Halo 3, where all the antagonists suddenly had a total change of character and became inept fools.(/SPOILERS) The weapons are largely more substantial, which is nice. I had a rude awakening with the new sword though. I will say one feature I wish they would add to the game is the ability to weigh the weapons in campaign to a specific set, similar to multiplayer. This would possibly unbalance the game, but that's nothing a point penalty can't fix. I blew through the first two levels on Heroic and thought "Man this is a lot easier than most of the earlier games." This opinion was later replaced with "Oh god why?" Is it true there are new scenarios for Spartan ops every week? Wonder how long they will keep that up. Would be awesome if it was for a long time. |
I also stopped reading at Ghosts of Onyx.
Are the newer forerunner ones at least better than that dogshit "Halo:The Flood" God that book made me rage. |
I'm on. Hit me up
xx king pwng xx "CulbyJack" |
Wow... I just play team slayer on Live occasionally... you guys take this seriously!
|
I do not do FPS but my son just got it 12:01 AM tuesday and has slept 6 hours since then. He does internet advertising so the whole office is playing at work. Only does PvP. Name Ognat.

Not on XBL, but I do love the halo campaign (have always coop campaign with my brother on linked Xbox systems since coop campaign was available) and have purchased every new Halo after 3 on release day. Magnum is awesome, best it's ever been!? Shotgun is meh, DMR is really nice as is the battle rifle and sniper rifle, Rocket launcher...now that's what it should have been like from the beginning! Not overly impressed with the Promethean weaponry, other than the light rifle and incinerator...the incinerator is awesome when you have it and scary when the the Knight has it! I still like Reach better as far as campaign storyline/layout. Halo 4 comes close though. halo 4 really falls short in the air vehicle missions to me though... and in general the Banshees are a real pain now (the single most cause of deaths, probably accounting for 50% of them)
Really like the sound design though...best of all the halos and very detailed. Warthog sounds awesome - incredibly mean and powerful compared to previous iterations. And when firing the fuel rod canon, the sound it makes now is pretty neat with all the detail compared to before - same with the scorpion; you hear the round chamber, then fire, and plasma exit. For reference i play with high quality reference headphones with the audio running through receiver. |

"The Flood" is regarded as one of the worst. I personally enjoy The Forerunner Trilogy. It's written by Greg Bear who's written a lot of well regarded Sci-Fi. The first novel follows a forerunner, the 2nd follows a human, and I don't know about the 3rd. That will get released in March. There's also Glasslands and The Thursday War. That series is a sequel to Onyx and is the first post UNSC/Covenant War novel. It sets-up the events of Halo 4. Like why there's a new covenant, how the Infinity got there, e.t.c. |

Did you know MechWarrior Online beta just came out for PC? It's free to play. Big names from the original like Atlas and Catapult are in it. :happyanim: |
gamer tag: WingofWar
- As for the story line...wow i didnt get anything you guys are ranting about with the DNA..i was more involved in the relationship and dialog with Cortana and MC to care much about forerunners. They are trying to open up the psycho/social environment of the heroism of MC to plant into the next game. Like most comic book superheros, there is one point in a hero's backstory which they hit rock bottom before they become the hero they are suppose to be. MC may have already saved the universe once, but we arn't emotionally connected to him like we would with Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne. I think putting some soul into the story was a great decision and it had a great direction. The rest was fluff to push events forward honestly, i mean common..the main antagonist wasn't even a boss battle. |
Gamertag: The Jesus 80 (Big Lebowski fan here)
I play late though... |
I beat the game on legendary, best halo game i think. Loved the ending, well done on 343. The legendary ending is awesome only though it has one difference compared to the rest.
|
Finally going to get Halo 4 tonight, may get the new COD while I'm at it.
|
I'll pick it up eventually, been playing them since the first one, no plans to stop now. =]
|
I already put in about 40 hours into this game. My gamertag is Hypereth.

Anyone up for Spartan Ops?
I just finished the campaign and thought it was very good. And the cut scenes are probably the best I've ever seen in a game too. I'll be on today, under Victorious17. |

Just to let the rest of you guys know, Crimson DLC is or was free yesterday. Some mix up on MS and 343 side, so I think they're letting anyone who can dl it can have it for free.
