JHCRANE 14

I think thats more of people getting over Halo Period!!! Not Halo reach. If Halo Reach came out before Halo 3 then I really feel the numbers would have been reversed. Halo Reach would have great numbers and Halo 3 would be down. The mass public is over Halo......sorry. Only the hardcore Halo fans will stay on course.

Even with the nerf armor lock is still really powerful. I never had a problem with it before and I am a cloak so no skin off my back.

I really enjoyed this game. If there is anything this game did right it was the story and the awesome cutscenes.

I don't see the big deal about the TU it didn't make that big of a change. If that is whats bringing people back then WOW!!!!!!!!

It's just so funny how opinions change. I loved ODST and Reach and thought they were the best Halo's yet.

Why do I get the feeling that mostly everybody is always talking about mulit-player and not campain. It seems the reason why most people don't like AA's are because of the way OTHER people use them in online battles. I have not heard anyone justify why they don't like AA's other than it makes it to hard to kill people, PEOPLE, not AI. Campain is awesome and I play it alot. So, it should at least be back for that.

Ok, but that is just like like every other shooter out there. COD, BF, GOW, they all have pretty much that same strategy; get to this weapon and then get to this spot. I just get tired of the same thing over and over again. AA's change that for the better in my opinion because it adds more depth than what you just mentioned with map and weapon control. The fact that you can change your AA is awesome and it leads to changing of gameplay from one moment to the other. You could be fighting someone 5 times in a row who is using cloak and then they switch to sprint. It will change the way you play the game and attack that player, thats why I love it.

Camping is one of the best strategies out there, especially with Camo. Some may say thats cheap. I say it makes the game fun because you always have to be aware of where you are at. I love it both when I blast someone or get blasted by a shotgun cloak. It just looks so cool.

Ok, yes I did spell that wrong forgive me, I was in a hurry. I kill people with armor lock all the time with nades and shotgun. To say armor abilities have no weakness i think is a stretch. If you know the time frame of when they activate it and how long they have to go till it runs out you can plan on that. If they lock up throw a nade and wait. If they come after you blast them with the shotgun and if they stay in armor lock throw another nade with timing, it is inescapable and a guaranteed kill. Seems to work for me. I understand why most people don't like the AA's, but I love them.

I love the armor abilities and I thought they were evenly balanced. There are options to play games without the armor abilities like classic slayer. Yes, armor lock can escape death but that means it adds a little more stragety to the game not just who has the better aim and a quicker finger. If you feel cheated by armor abilities because the make it harder then play games that don't use them so you can take advantage of your skill not stragety. If you play like you did in old halo games where you just see, shoot, kill and you don't adjust then ya the armor abilities slow the game down. It can be frustrating to be the more skilled player and lose to someone that is not as good as you because of an armor ability, but that just means you have to have a better stragety. You can be the more skilled player but have a weak stragety and that will get you beat. I love it like that because it's about thinking and setting up people not just see, shoot, kill. If you want that play classic slayer. But ya armor abilities rock and should be back for Halo 4!!!!! However, there needs to be an upgrade system. Ex. Active camo could have options for extended cloak time or harder to see when moving at fast speeds. Or with armor lock you could extend the EMP blast radius or have a longer time frame for armor lock form 7's to 10's. Just my opinion. I know most of you don't like them but I love them and think that they should return. HALO 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A GOOD DAY TO ALL.

Ok. Thanks guys. I just got started on Halo Wars the other day to get the story and I must say those are some of the best cutscenes I have ever seen in a video game. Thanks for filling me in guys. No covenant in Halo 4???? :( .....It's ok it will still be an awesome game.

It is funny how opinions differ. I think that Reach was the best Halo by far and hope that they improve on that engine.

The Halo series has already been written out in novles. The story has already been told. 343 Industries is just telling the rest of the saga. Halo 4, 5, and 6 will explain the mystery behind the forerunners.

http://blog.media-fr...-ramifications/ Hey Halo fans, new here and this is my first post. I am a lifelong Halo fan and am excited for Halo 4. I don't know if this topic has already been discussed on this forum, sorry if it already has. This article is old but it still has a great picture of what appears to be a old brute in Halo 4. I was just seeing if any of you guys had any info on this picture and what it could mean. If not it would be great to debate about what this picture could forshadow for the future of the Halo franchise and the mystery of the forerunners. A blessed day to all.
