  1. Well. Does this site really have an impact on 343 at all?
  2. At this point I am actually not just getting tired of complainers but also being tired of complainers complaining about complainers. Just ignore them. And don't feed the trolls.
  3. If I can I am going to try to take a better picture of a painting I did recently. It is of the opening scene of Halo 3 where john falls out of the sky.
  4. Here is some similar art that I have done. \ This one was my first...so no hatin

  11. I would make a post but I would break your thread. This is my response: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/7539-game-informer-leak-your-opinion-my-opinion-poll/
  12. This is basically my direct response towards FIREN4's post and Halo4Follower's video about the GameInformer Leak. Overall I can say that even though there are some returns that I do enjoy, I am astonished and slightly outraged (if possible) about some of these new ideas 343 has put out. Some of these things just don't seem to me like they should be in halo, I will explain what I mean later. I am happy that 343 has taken over the responsibility of creating Halo games and I am anxious to see their final product. But my anxiety is overtaken by my nervousness. 343 I think shouldn't really move too many new ideas into Halo but instead improve what we have so far. I have been very quiet about talking in posts where some people are complaining about halo 4 and demanding that 343 put this in and take this out. I say this...343 do whatever you may want. But the opinion of the community will come out, which can really be a hit on 343 when they are trying to get a trilogy going. The following topics were discussed in the thread created by FIREN4 and Donut: Link: :right: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/7527-halo-4-news-campaign-and-multiplayer-details/ I give them credit for all of the information. I suggest that you go to that link and watch the video posted. My Opinions: Confirmed Weapons: This is one of the things that I saw in which I got excited about. I focused mainly on the Carbines that have been listed. If I had to guess I would say that the Covenant carbine will probably be an enhanced version of the Carbine from Halo 3. I would be really excited to see those green streaks flying through the air again. I cannot tell however what the Assault Carbine will be. But after I thought it through, it seems to me that it could be forerunner technology. Since the DMR and BR are already confirmed as precision weapons for the UNSC and the Covenant carbine is obviously from Covenant technologies then I assume that the Forerunners should have a rifle as well. If I could imagine what it would be like I would guess that it would shoot lasers. I also wonder if with the return of these "Carbines" will influence the SWAT gametype. If you remember that in Halo 3 SWAT that some maps featured one or two carbines which could be used in place of your BR or Magnum. Along with these confirmed weapons are the Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, and Designated Marksman Rifle. I really want to see how these weapons are balanced throughout gameplay. I am also interested in finding out how the DMR and BR will be issued in SWAT lobbies. Will you be able to use one or the other? However I do think that in a game the person with a BR and a DMR combo will rule both short range and long range. So the AR should get some beef. (There has been reports of the AR being strengthened.) Weapon Spawning: The first thing mentioned in the video about weapon spawns is that there will not be any weapon camping. Weapons will spawn randomly around the map and not in the same spot repeatedly. I must say that I do not agree with this idea. Halo matchmaking highly revolves around power weapon spawns because they change gameplay. If you control that weapon you have a great advantage to winning the game. One of the best parts for me when playing Halo is the rush to the power weapon off of the initial spawn. It's like going to get the bomb at the beginning of a round of Grifball. Taking this feeling out of the game makes matchmaking lose a lot of the thrill. Also, weapon spawns create points of interest or these invisible "hills" which we have all noticed when playing games such as Team Slayer. A good example of these "Hills" is the top of the green lift on Sword Base. (Even though that specific hill doesn't have a power weapon, it's just a good example.) These hills are where many of the exciting moments happen in a matchmaking game. The second thing mentioned in the video regarding spawning is weapon drop pods that will appear throughout the game. Now I think that these drop pods can be be either a good thing or bad thing depending on how they are used. What I wouldn't want is for these pods to be falling down onto the map in the middle of a game and then drawing everyone's attention. It would also not be good if these pods did not display what weapon it is holding. On the other hand I do believe that there could be some good ways to use these drop pods. If 343 does decide to use these random weapon spawns then I would hope that instead of being completely unaware of where these weapons are that instead these drop pods fall down at the beginning of the game and show the weapon in that it carries. In this case the player would have to go through the following thoughts -What weapon do I want -Where is it -How should I get there This I think would keep more of the thrill in the game and keep the players sharp. Furthermore if drop pods do happen to come in matchmaking I want to suggest that our buddy Jeff Steitzer gives us a little one minute warning that these pods are coming in. My last concern about these changes in weapon placement is how we will be able to use these effects in our custom games and how we will be able to edit them in forge if it is at all possible. In reach's forge we were not able to do anything close to that and for this to work there would be major changes in the properties of objects while forging. Instant Respawn: This to me is a factor that will definitely be quite of a change in the multiplayer feeling. Even though it seems really small in comparison to other changes it will make Halo feel a lot different. In my past experience instant respawns cause me stress. Such as call of duty for example. I think that without this little "thinking time" that players will get more angry at the game. Haha...this is what happens to me at least. I will just have to see how this feels to me when the game comes out. Joining In-Game: This can either be good or bad. I will be ok with 343 just making it so you don't have to wait in a lobby while your friend gets murdered in a matchmaking game. I hope that this means that you can join your friends game while it is still in session and save his or her a**. It will make both of their lives a lot easier and possibly make the opposing teams game a little more interesting. Now. If this becomes one of those set-ups where if your searching for a match by yourself in team slayer and then you are put into a game against your will where your new team is getting steaked. This feature is what really irritates me the most about COD and other games. I really don't feel like going into a game and playing for one and a half minutes before losing. I prefer that the outcome of a game for me is effected by me for all of the game. This is different from joining your friends game where you know the risks if there are any. If 343 does decide (hopefully not) to make this mistake, then I would at least plead that they make this so that you may chose if the servers can put you into a game which has already been started or not. Regicide and Spartan Ops: Regicide - sounds cool, I probably won't play it from how it sounds though. I don't enjoy FFA objective very much. I get too campy. Spartan Ops: I am really interested in what this is and I want to try it out. It could be cool if it could give some more information from the Halo books and possibly more info about the campaign. I also hope that we don't get any idiots who read that and instantly say that they copied off of Black Ops. Distraction Medal: Why not? More stuff for me then Armor Abilities: Sprint as Default - I think this is okay. I think that a spartan should have the right to haul a** out of a situation in order to save his fanny. Even though many games have a sprint feature I think that it would be ok for halo to do as long as it is equal for all players. Return of Others - Wheres my armor lock confirmation...they just left that out in the leak on accident right?...RIGHT?!? Forerunner Vision - I really don't think this is a good idea. Even though many hate it and many do it, camping is still a part of halo. I don't want to be all sneaky just for somebody to know what corner I am hiding on. If this armor ability is true I really hope that this idea of an x-ray is not as it seems. It would be better for me if instead of seeing a silhouette on your visor that you use your armor ability and for 5 to 10 seconds your radar shows all hiding enemies regardless if they are crouching, standing still, or just being sneaky. Maybe this forerunner vision idea that I have given can pick out where someone is with active camo if that ability still has a scrambling effect. If none of this radar stuff happens then I hope that there will definitely be a set range on how far you can "see" with this new armor ability. Earning Weapons/Armor Abilities/Modifications: I am really scared of what this means. I do not want all of these higher levels getting a BR while I get a magnum off the spawn. Halo's difference to me from game like COD and Battlefield have been that every player gets the same chance as others in the beginning of a match. Not the higher destroying the lowers because they got to use their awesome overpowered gun and their extra bullet penetration perks. Also halo has never had weapon modifications unless you happened to run over some custom power-up in a custom game. I cannot make a great discussion towards this because I really don't have enough information about these modifications and earnings. But I do ask 343 to really be careful with what they are doing. What do you guys think about these "earnings" and "modifications" I also think the Spartan Points sounds really stupid. The Campaign: I can't tell what my feelings are towards this but I can say that I am confused. After this encounter with Aurora I really thought that we would be focusing on flood and that the covies would be the least of our problems. But...I trust 343 to tell us an amazing story\ "343 also states, the game is really about the return of the Chief" Can't wait to meet you John.
  13. FIREN I'm making a poll for this. (In and out like + Dislike)
  14. If his face is revealed then many will be unhappy. Some people say that MC's face is hidden so you can feel that YOU are master chief and that your living the tale. I also advise or ask that somebody change this title to a question. It is very misleading and I do believe it was intended to do so.
  15. And I also want to ask if I may help with the channel. I really enjoy doing those kind of things, and I would like to give back to this forum.
  16. Well this is depressing. This could be hard to do without file share. Could I suggest that you have somebody put 343i at the end of the name so that we can find them on a file search.
