DoctorB77 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 In recent news and rumors it was reported that you will be able to hear your Spartan breathing from inside his helmet. How do you think this will effect gameplay and the overall feel of the game within both matchmaking and the campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think it will definitely add a better and more realistic feel to it. I mean, come on, halo is already 500 years in the future, where they have genetically engineered supersoldiers fighting alien species bent on wiping out the human race while they fight an unstoppable infection, all while wearing armor made out of titanium that overall weighs about 700 pounds. The least they could do to make it have a more realistic aspect is to have little physical things like the sound of your breath in your helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I hope its like Reach and you just hear your Spartan breathing when sprinting. Because if its constant panting or heavy breathing I think it would get annoying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzdw11 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Agree with Undead and rentless here, if it's while sprinting like Reach, I'm fine with it, but otherwise it would get really annoying really fast. I would have just liked the two comments, but I'm out of likes. :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I believe they've also mentioned it will be while sprinting. Because realistically, how often can you really hear your breath, other than the faint wisp? I think guns would drown that out. So yes, only while sprinting, I believe.

DoctorB77 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I hope its like Reach and you just hear your Spartan breathing when sprinting. Because if its constant panting or heavy breathing I think it would get annoying. This was my initial thought. But if this was the information that they were trying to give out I think It wouldn't have been so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Meh, I might rarely use sprint in halo 4, except for a sprinting needed timer in the campaign but, I would most likely forget about it in multiplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Something that I really liked about Reach, which I don't think a lot of people notice while playing, is that when you take permanent Health damage, you can actually hear your Spartan's heartbeat. For me it really added that little bit of extra immersion, so I'm not fundamentally against adding breathing noises - after a while, you wouldn't notice them anyway, just like people stop noticing the HUD lines in Halo 3. That said, if it's loud enough to be obtrusive, then it might be a problem. Anything that interferes with my concentration is bad for gameplay, so I hope they just keep it understated unless you're sprinting or being shot at.

Archangel Tyrael Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I think it gives the player a deeper feel for the game, as long as it is not annoying. I like to hear more sounds when you are walking and interacting with objects and crouching. There is this, but it needs to be better. Would be good for that to happen.
