Definitely have to go with the scorpion. While the wraith is good for moving about quicker due to the boost, I like the feel of the scorpion better. It just feels more "right" if you know what I mean.

I agree that unlimited sprint would be a bad thing, but on your second point about the guy with a sword and sprinting, it's already been stated that if you're shot while sprinting you will slow down. It's not going to be like Reach's, that even if shot you keep running at full speed. This is a plus, but I hope that it's not unlimited.

It's really not worth it. Some people just won't accept the fact that the game could be really good. It's not Halo 2 or 3, so it's bad.

HLG is "Hidden League Gaming". The Director posted a thread on this a week or two ago. Here: http://www.343indust...9181#entry99181

Two questions. Why do a lot of people not properly use ID3v1 & ID3v2 tags? Is it possible, or has it ever been possible, to join the US military (this case in particular, the Army) when you are only 16?

Interesting. That's the best you could come up with and you waste a post on it? Your first post didn't include anything beneficial to the thread, and this one doesn't either. "Reach mp is the worst of the 4 games" is hardly dealing with the Halo 3 servers being shut down. You popping in Halo 3 and liking it more is hardly dealing with the Halo 3 servers shutting down. "Armor lock is stupid" has absolutely nothing to do with the Halo 3 servers. Why not add something constructive to the topic, instead of just being a troll? Oh wait, I guess your user name explains it all, nevermind.

And that is your opinion. Other people love the Reach MP more than the other games. It's all opinion, nobody is right and nobody is wrong. As for Halo 3 servers being shut down, yes it will happen, it's just a matter of when. I hope for all the people that love Halo 3 and continue to play it, that it's not for some time, but know that eventually it will happen, and don't be shocked when it does.

Like everyone else said, welcome to the friendliest little corner of the internet! Hope to see you around.

So far, I'm pleased with the way things are heading. I don't mind custom classes, I think they could be fine. Armor abilities, if done properly and balanced well against one another, I'm completely fine with. Reach tried and failed with them, so lets hope 343 saw that and is working them from scratch. Weapon skins and armor skins are not going to affect gameplay, so I don't have any issues at all here. As for some of the "perk" type things, and specializations, well, I have to wait and see how they are implemented. This could be a great addition, or it could be horrible. But like Mystic said, without playing the game, or at the very least seeing some in depth multiplayer footage, then I can't make my final judgement. I am definitely preordering it, though.

Like Bashful said, if done in limited quantities, like for example adding an explosion hole in the ground from a grenade, or a dent in a wall, then it wouldn't be an issue. Maybe destroy a wall to the rebar behind it, so you can't go through but can see through it, may not be an issue. You can't take cover from it, but neither can the enemy. It's an advantage for both teams, being able to see through, and a disadvantage as well. As for completely destructible? No, absolutely not. Destroying bridges, tearing down walls completely, etc. would not be good for Halo.

Does Halo 4 have the chance to be terrible? Yes. Does 343 stand to fail? Yes. Will the game still sell? Absolutely, because people will buy it regardless. Nobody should have 100% faith in 343, nor should they expect Halo 4 to be the greatest game ever. But you can hope that it will be, you can have faith that 343 knows what they are doing. As for "everything that has been revealed is frowned upon by about half the community" - show me where these statistics came from. If that's the case, then we should be getting 10,000 new threads here alone every time something is announced with people bashing it. As it stands, I see maybe 10 every time something is released or leaked. I for one think loadouts are fine, if they are done right. Weapon and armor skins - does it really matter? So your BR has a bit of a pattern to it instead of being black. Big deal, doesn't change the game. An armor skin, so now instead of two colors set to certain parts of the armor, you have an armor skin pattern as well. Does it matter? No. Armor abilities, well, they're not going anywhere. You can thank Bungie for implementing them. All you can do now is hope that 343 balances them properly. As for the series doing better without them? Why not just go back and play Halo 3 until the servers are shut down then? Seriously, if the game doesn't move on, the game dies out. People become bored with it.

No remakes. Where's the option for none? I want something new.

Really, the start of a new trilogy and this "could be the final one"? What makes you think that, even if it does horribly in the consumers eye, that Microsoft and 343 are going to drop the franchise?

Adding it to the game after the fact would ruin map balance and design. Why do you think BF3's maps are so large? They were designed for huge numbers of players. You port it to the 360 and take down the number of players to 24, and now the maps seem too big. While I like the idea, this poll would be better suited to try and get it into Halo 5, rather than Halo 4.

While I agree that more players would be a good thing, 343 isn't going to do this with Halo 4. They're out of time. If they were going to do this, it'd already be done, it's not something they're going to add with less than 6 months till launch.

As if nothing really matters.

For me, there's a certain balance that needs to be met. If I play when I'm wide awake, I tend to be more jumpy with my shots. If I'm dead tired, I'm horrible and slow. A nice balance, on the brink of being tired, but not quite there yet is where I like to be.

It would also depend on when the movie was made. 5 years down the road? Perhaps a Halo movie is just what the series needs. But again, like you said it has every chance to be a bad movie, and a bad movie could destroy the series. The movie could be good though. It would need to be well funded, and have an awesome script. While mindless violence will get it so far a good plot would be more crucial. I wouldn't base it off of any of the games, either. Something else.

Welcome to 343i! Like Kurt said, we're definitely the friendliest little corner on the Internet. Since nobody else has posted it yet, here are the rules: http://www.343industries.org/forum/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules And here is a message to all new members: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/5807-message-to-all-new-members/ Enjoy your time here, you'll have a blast!

I thought all of the missions for the 1st season were on disc, though. You just can't access them unless you're connected to Live, and they only unlock on a weekly basis?

Wait... really? Pocahontas...? "Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later."

Twam is awesome. Somehow he created a Halo site that my work filter doesn't block. Thank you Twam! :unworthy:
