Technology has allowed the graphics to improve greatly, but I think you are missing the point here. What they are saying is that the combat system in CE is preferable to the one in Reach, not that it has a better engine, better graphics, etc.

I haven't heard of them denying it anywhere. I sure hope not anyways.

I like it. I do miss the electric guitar from halo 2 though. Now THAT was some awesome theme music.

Ha! you should have seen the bxr or the double shot. If you pressed RRX with the right timing, the BR would fire 2 burst rounds back to back without any pause in between like there normally is between shots. Now, you combine this with a quick YY move to switch to your other weapon, and then back to the BR. Then do the same thing. It's almost 4 back to back to back to back shots. THAT had people calling hax. They didn't know what was happening to them.

I don't like the idea of the emblem being on the chest because I feel that would make someone too visible. I'm not saying that Halo is a game of stealth by any means, but we all know there are always those few rare times when another enemy player looks in your direction and somehow doesn't see you allowing you to live/kill them.

I've made several lengthy posts about how bloom removes the skill from the 1 on 1 fights, and how removing it is a great decision. That being said, I'm all in favor of recoil over the bloom effect.

This rumor was shot down in an interview.

Yeah. In halo 2 the BR fired all 3 shots in a straight line like the dmr in reach (except 3 bullets, not 1). The only difference was that if you were to sweep the br from left to right, the bullets would sort of fan out and you could kill 2 people at once. Other times if people were in a straight line the first bullet would kill the first person and the 2nd or 3rd bullet from the burst fire would kill the 2nd person. Soooo much fun.

I like the design of the new BR just fine. I don't know if I prefer it to the old one or vice versa. I just hope when it's released it plays more like the precision BR from halo 2 as opposed to the BR from halo 3 that had a huge spread at a distance that allowed snipers to roam almost unchecked.

Well if you are talking about the halo 3 BR then I agree with you. However, the halo 2 BR was amazing for swat.

It could just be like Halo 1and 2 where there are just 2 master chiefs.

Yes, this is mostly what I was thinking. I liked the reward systems of both reach and halo 3, but with reach the skill lvl was completely taken out of the equation. There definitely needs to be more to the game than just "The Arena" duh duh duhhhhhh (dramatic music).

Like this post. Good summation for new members. I hope that they just stick with the BR for Halo 4. I didn't really care for the dmr in reach because I didn't really think it fit in well. But without a bloom effect maybe I would change my opinion. I'm not sure.

You spelled "you're" incorrectly, but that's beside the point. Would you like to explain why I'm wrong in my opinion. I don't care if you disagree with me, but I would like some reasons or something a little more than. You're wrong and I'm right, and that's that, etc...

Don't get me wrong here, I hate all of the armor abilities, and if they did keep one, I would agree that sprint is the way to go. Sprint was the only AA that was really ever in discussion, therefore that's what my post is about.

I'm sure you will be able to customize the settings, but I think you are missing the point I was trying to make. I don't want to only enjoy custom games that only revolve around the rules I set while every playlist out there operates in a different manner that I detest.

Just the most insightful post. Thanks for telling me that. I didn't know I wasn't working on the game till you told. I literally just realized I'm not working for 343 so thank you.

This is part of the reason I hate reach. There is never any sense of accomplishment. There has to be a separation of the playlists. All ranked is not an option because of guests. All social is boring for more serious players.

Pretty much this. unless he wants some sort of particle beam or something.

Okay, so I feel this needs to be addressed. People keep saying adapt to change, blah blah, stuck in the past, blah blah, etc... Well here's the thing. A lot of us adapt just fine. We play reach with great skill. But that doesn't mean we like the game. You don't want us to adapt, you want us to change how we feel about the game. Well get over it, we aren't going to change our opinions from disliking the game to liking it just because you say that we should. You need to learn what the word "adapt" means. Now, to address the initial post. Yes, the game hasn't come out yet so people are talking a lot about it when many things can still change. The reason people are so vocal is because they want this game to move in the right direction. I mean it's not like 343 has done a beta or anything, so I'm sure any discussions on the game could help with questions they may have themselves. The opinions need to be voiced and heard before it's too late.

umadbro? Must be since it would appear you deleted the post.

If you didn't bother reading this then how would you even know we were talking about CoD? eh? EH?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

So let me get this straight, you think the only reason people don't like a game is because they aren't good at it? Yeah... no. Sure this is the case sometimes, but probably less than half the time. Take reach for example. I thought getting onyx was about as hard as getting a 50 in halo 3 (a joke). But I still despise reach's gameplay.

I'm just looking for something inventive. NOT FORGE MADE LIKE REACH. I mean the really great maps that stand out in my mind for halo 2 are lockout, midship, relic, ascension, foundation, gemini, headlong, ivory tower, sanctuary, terminal, warlock, turf, zanzibar... ****, they were all good. And, they were all VASTLY different. That's what the map pool needs.
