Mat Burke Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 So if you haven't heard 343 came out with Halo 4's achievements today. If you haven't seen them here's the link: http://www.ign.com/a...t-list-revealed Anywho, the big thing I'd like to discuss is the fact that there's only 8 levels...... I'm seriously hoping this won't be like call of duty with short campaign but beautiful graphics and an insane multiplayer. The other thing I'm worried about is that they're putting so much content into this game there won't be a lot of room for a lot of campaign So there had better be a lot of Easter eggs Thoughts?::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Actually there are 9 levels, and if you recall Halo 3 had about the same amount of levels (10 I believe) and Halo 3 had a good length. So i would not be too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lmao Just because it has 9 levels doesn't mean it's going to be a short campaign. Those levels are probably loooooooooooooooooooooooong. Not to mentions Spartan Ops and whatnot. Apparently, Spartan Ops is going to have a legit story too, so it can actually be counted as a mini-campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah like they all said. Speaking from the levels in terms of programming, we saw huge leaps in the amount of individual bsp's they crammed into each title as they came out. Halo 3 had at most, 6 to 7 bsp's in one level alone. Knowing Halo 4, each level will likely take at walking pace, to cover from one end to the other.....something like 30 minutes. And thats just walking to one end of the levels, not including the highjinx or twists and backtracking the missions will involve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 343i said that campaign be about 7 to 9 hours of campaign gameplay depending on the difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And respawning over and over because they decided to make the hunters even more difficult to take down. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I doubt it will be a short campaign. All Halo's i have played are decent to excellent campaign length. Each Halo game has about the same number of levels as the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i would not be too worried. Well. I am sure one of those 9 levels is just story line. (Probably the first or last one). It was like that in both reach and halo 3. Reach actually had 2 of those levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 The length of the game will be perfect...343i knows what they are doing, and increasing the difficulty will also increase the length. Also as stated above, Spartan Ops will be long, in fact, Frankie stated on wednesday that Spartan Ops will be the length of ODST's campaign, so I am pretty excited Here is link to the length of Spartan ops being longer than ODST http://gamerfront.net/2012/08/halo-4s-spartan-ops-will-offer-longer-gameplay-than-odst/23142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhuv Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Well I'm OK with the length of the campaign. Though i do love the story of Chief, I love the multiplayer in any halo game and the sick custom games that the halo community makes.

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's gonna be longer than any other Halo yet. Which means longer levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ryu is correct, Spartan Ops will be longer than ODST, with that asn an indicator the normal campaign will be longer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEF214 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 8 levels =/= short campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Wizard Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It wont be a short campaign for me, especially on legendary. If its paced like any other halo game it will be great. Halo 3 was a perfect length for a videogame campaign. You play the campaign to get familiar with the weapons/characters and environments. Haha then the multiplayer will be lasting all of us more than a long time! Also, spartan ops and Forge. Let me know if i forgot anything. Thanks!

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ryu is correct, Spartan Ops will be longer than ODST, with that asn an indicator the normal campaign will be longer as well And ODST was a good sized game to me. Simply because of the exploration and extras to do. But speed running the campaign, it was still a blast and took enough time. Halo 4 will not disappoint.

SykoWolf Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 They have mentioned the game is supposed to be significantly longer then Reach. So each mission would be more like a chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkishxroyal Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Lmao Just because it has 9 levels doesn't mean it's going to be a short campaign. Those levels are probably loooooooooooooooooooooooong. Not to mentions Spartan Ops and whatnot. Apparently, Spartan Ops is going to have a legit story too, so it can actually be counted as a mini-campaign. it was recently released that spartan ops will be about the length of halo odst in all. which is plenty. i love the idea of having a second campaign that will last and entire season. halo reach was good because it gave you a chance to have a campaign with your personal spartan. i think thats important for future halo's to have a story along side chief's that is all about you and your spartan and the way you want to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinodares Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 ryan mcaffery of ign played the 1st and 3rd levels of halo 4 and it took him 45 mins for the first one and an hour for the third so and average of 50 mins(approximation). so 50 times 8 is 400 mins. which is a bit less than 7 hours. not bad, considering Spartan ops, forge, custom games, and match making! I will edit as soon as I find that link again. it was on ign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventus Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm okay with 8-9 levels. As long as there's a lot of content in the campaign, I don't care if there's a "low" number of levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I am thankful that Halo 4 levels will be long, but not everyone HAS x-box live, like me. This means that 1/3 of Halo 4 will be missed if you don't have x-box live, which i think is bulls**t. We can only hope spartan ops will come out on a disc later in 2013:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I agree that although Spartan Ops is cool...it is lame that it is only for Xbox Live...just another ploy fot M$ to make money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 According to what I heard/read, there will be 8 missions and over 9 hours of playtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewin3 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 ^That's quite good for a FPS game. Though I do wonder on what particular difficulty it concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
