Looks like loads of fun.
But I have one complain. Jet packs. I think Halo addicts will become way too good with them and it seems to me like there's a pretty big learning curve around it so for noobs like me it's a sad news ahah

Actually I could see skilled Halo players leaning more towards sprint/evade.  I know those are the one's I am leaning towards.

It's a possiblity since you can't sprint at all in Halo 3 and I've seen most people just jump like crazy and find cover when their shields break.

I agree that the new weaps are much more killable in a way like the plasma rifle and grenade launcher may be too powerful for my taste but hopefully they can increase the # of players and have a balanced map so that the weaps dont respawn infinite amount of times.

Still beats the hell out of using the BR most of the time and just trying to out BR people and throwing nades, the new pace of reach will sure exicte halo fans, and hopefully less glitchy than MW2, Halo 3 is still da best fps on 360 period.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

The BR is what made halo great. It took skill. If you sucked with the BR and nades then you sucked at halo. I hate games that cater to the noobs in order to make things more "fair". Halo 3 was extremely fair. Everyone starts with the same guns and its your skill that decided whether you won or lost.



Long Live SHIO!

Looks decent. Sadly is still has that halo cheapness feel to it. But I will most likely pick it up later on. Too bad i'll never be able to try out the MP though.

WTH?!?!?!   All Halo's feel legit as hell, there is absolutely nothing cheap about them...nothing at all!

Yes there is. Because I happen to feel the same way as Wagram on this matter, and I know some of my friends do as well. I can't really put my finger on it, but Halo does indeed have some cheapness to it. There's something about the character design and art style in general that is very cheap and unappealing to me.

I think he means just consoles

I think he means 360 ONLY. And he clearly has bad taste, imo.

People will find anyway possible to hate on Halo right?

me and my friends got to the point were we vetoed anything BRs even if we hated the map.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

That video was awesome. From Bungie's ViDoc I saw generator defense but at the time I didn't know what it was called but now I do. That could be a fun one. They need to do an Action Sack type playlist for the final version that is ranked. Where the game types change to stock play lists and not all the goofy stuff. I would love for that but not ranked. Something like the Mythic game type or BTB.

That makes absolutely no sense.
