The best way to deal with the envious is to continue on with your progression while refusing to acknowledge their presence.

The hope is there to keep you going; the doubt is there so that you won't be disappointed.

Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.

Every time I feel down and depressed I reach for my bible and read Hosea 13:16...so inspirational.

If you went back in the past and told a West African, a Mayan, an Aztec, an Incan, an Arawak, a Carib, and a Taino that they would mix together, have last names like Johnson/Duran, and speak either Spanish, English, or Portuguese they'd laugh in your face.

Plea to 343i to change elements seen in Halo 4 multiplayer.
Jay Marcase replied to DerpWithAGun's topic in Halo 4
I think one of the most unnerving things is how people speak authoritatively e.g. "MP is done wrong amd this is what they need to change" as if 343i owes them something. I'm glad that people are excited about Halo 4 but we all have to remember that the world doesn't revolve around any one person specifically. Having Halo 4 adapt to your or mlg's standards may not make sense financially for Microsoft because the non-mlg players outnumber the mlg players by the millions. Forgoing change and progression to appease a small minority in your overall target market doesn't make any sense and in the long run alienates more of your fans than to do the opposite. The game should be made so that it's accessible to everyone with added depth for the hardcore. You don't start with the hardcore first because you'll severel limit you rgames' appeal. -
What amount of play time have you had with Halo 4 to say that the newer mechanics slow/hinder gameplay and move Halo away from its core principles? Can you also tell us what multiplayer maps have you played on that exacerbate these claims? Please elaborate om your credentials as well so that we establish if you're privy to knowledge of Halo 4 that others may or may not have. Keep in mind that experience with Reach doesn't translate to experience with Halo 4. You can use your historical data to state how you felt these mechanics didn't work in Reach but NOT in Halo 4 unless YOU'VE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT! They could have retooled and balanced everything to make it mesh much better and you know how we will know if this is the case or not? By playing the completed game once it ships in Nov.

If you haven't worked on the development team then you don't have the authority to state what is and isn't a core principle of Halo. You can say that Halo 4 is incorporating things that you THINK are trivial but that doesn't mean that Halo is moving away from it's core. For all you know, jetpacks and AAs could have been destined for Halo 1 - 3 but couldn't be done due to time, resources, or etc. If you do not like the additions, that's fine...but don't come on here acting as if you're some true blue Halo fan because you want the series to stagnate.

Are you saying that because Manny Pacquiao lost?

Tell that to Rocky Balboa, tell that to Myke Tyson, tell that to every other boxer in the world!

So basically you want 343 to take out everything that is going to make Halo 4 different from every other Halo. Thanks for the post but it's great that 343i is not afraid to take risks because Halo is in seeious need of new ideas and energy. If you were in charge of Halo, you would run the series into the ground to the point that it'll end up like Guitar Hero and have to be pulled off the market. Halo 4 is looking to be a more realistic, believeable, and enjoyable Halo experience which you may not agree with but you know what? Halo 1 - 3 still work and you can play those til your heart is content.

It just sounds like you need to go outside and get some fresh air. Do something new, something exciting, somethng worth talking. Look outside...you see the trees, the luscious sky, the soaring sun, and chilling clouds? They're waiting for you...go get 'em champ!

No, you guys are pushing your opinions forward. 343i is working with facts...they are playing the game, testing the game, and creating the game so they know if it does or doesn't feel like Halo or not. YOU and every other whiner on this forum are going off little snippets you read in magazine which means absolute nothing. You have not played the game, touched the box art, or even seen it being played in real life so who are you to say what the game is or isn't. You guys are silly and take Halo entirely too seriously for one. Secondly, you come to conclusions without anything to substantiate them. Until you sit down and get Halo 4 in your hands and play it you can't say a darn thing about how its mechanics do and don't work. What y'all really should do is go outside and experience the gorgeous landscape the grand architect has created for us. Gorgeous green trees contrasting against luscious blue skies...let the wind blow through your hair a bit...it's really an amazing thing.

I absolutely agree and one of the biggest examples of this is the Sonic Team. They couldn't make a good sonic game nowadays if their lives depended on it. I think the teams honestly just get burned out on the same IP which is why the product suffers. The only bef I have with Bungie is that from my perspective it seems as if they never took a chance. Every Halo was very very similar and it statrted to get really stale to me. I have ODST and can't finish it because it's the same ol' tired Halo with the lackluster story telling and under detailed set design. I think with Reach they finally started moving in a different area and made the game more believable and engaging. Overall I'm happy that there is a new developer involved because fhe game needs an infusion of new ideas amd it seems like 343i are on the right path. The weapon design in H4 is gorgeous and MC really looks the part now.
