At this point all I ask for is a competitive ranking system for each playlist. Preferably like Halo 2's. That is all.

I think they should get rid of fall damage completely. I've said this before but here's my thing. If 343 is emphasizing that spartans are these beast-mode super soldiers, then why should they be affected by a fall? Seems kind of contradictory to me.

I agree. You hardly ever see an elite and when you do you have to change your shots up completely. It wasn't ever a problem but everything should be as balanced as possible.

I would like to see all 4 Halo 3 grenade types make a return as well. Who could argue with incineration grenades?!

Agreed. They should have a throwback playlist like this. I guarantee it would be popular.

I played Halo 2 on PC and it was fun. I don't see why not. They could make the graphics look incredible with all the PC technology.

I can agree with that. Well said. I know this is irrelevant but... if there was a beta to the game things would be a LOT smoother for this process. People would get a chance to voice their opinion AFTER they played the game instead of having to wait to play it. While I do agree with the saying "if it's not broke don't fix it," I can deal with change as long as the gameplay stays balanced. Almost every time in previous Halo's, the skills and knowledge of the player allowed them to win and nothing else (unless a player has a power weapon). This was because the gameplay was balanced. I also like the new 500 scoring system. Assists should most definitely count towards the team's score. Almost as much as kills in my opinion.

I definitely see what you're saying. I was never a fan of care packages myself. I guess I should say I "hope" it doesn't affect the gameplay too much. The key to Halo 4 being great is getting the Halo gameplay balanced again. If that happens everything will fall into place.

That would be cool but I doubt they would have any surprises and have all the Limited Edition orders (such as myself) changed.

The best buy raptor is just NASTY! I pre-ordered from gametstop though because that's the closest in my area.

I gotta wait and see before I say anything about the weapon ordnance drops. It reminds me of care packages but I gotta play first. I don't think it'll affect the game too much though.

I love the new BR, personally. I think all the weapons in Halo 4 look great.

As long as that class of weapon (carbine, dmr, br) is balanced at the end then it's all good. I'm sure they'll be making tweaks to all the weapons.

As long as armor abilities keep gameplay balanced, I don't see anything wrong with it. I agree with you that they need a skill-based ranked system, particularly one where if you win, you go up, if you lose, you go down. A no scope medal would be pretty cool! And as far as seperating social and ranked, I once thought this exact solution but 343 will probably have the ranked playlists with armor abilities as well. The one that would be the least likely to have them is the MLG playlist, which I'm sure 343 will keep around (since they're doing a good job paying attention to the MLG/competitive community). As far as bloom and maps goes, I agree. I've said it many times that bloom causes to many shot inconsistencies. 343 should bring back those awesome maps from other Halo's. Some of my favorites include Midship, Lockout, Warlock, and Construct as well as the ones you mentioned.

Good job with pointing that out. I guess I've never payed attention to that before but it's not that big of a deal to me. As long as the gameplay is good it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for finding this bro!

They got the raptor skin AND the poster?! Wish I had a best buy in my area!

I'm guessing you will earn spartan points to get it in multiplayer.

I'm hoping it's our own individual spartans but who knows for sure just yet.

We may get even more colors than that from the way they're going about look customization. The more customization of looks the better!

I'm excited for this campaign more than any previous Halo. Looks awesome!

I would rather take new info off Walshy over just about anybody. I guess that eliminates anybody's question about killstreaks. You can't wait til another ordinance drop and get a more powerful weapon or power-up. Walshy knows what to say.

Thank you for the book info! I'm not much of a book reader so I couldn't begin to tell you what it could be haha.

I feel like instead of talking about disappointments we should be looking at it's successes. Give the game a chance first. The way Halo uses these new features is completely original and separate from CoD and it still looks like Halo to me. I can't wait!

I bet they'll have theater as well. Both areas are good but I think both have lots of potential and room for improvement.
