I think 343 will do a good job. I LOVE what theyre doing so far, and i think Halo 4 will be amazing.

I would love for it be more like Halo 2/3, i LOVED Reach, i have 6 days of gameplay in Reach, but Halo 2 and 3 were my favorites. And i hope it has a really mysterious, long, and exciting campaign like halo 2. And i hope for an epic ending too.

This. More like Halo 2 (especially in terms of the campaign) and Halo 3 (especially in terms of the multiplayer with the best bits of Halo Reach sprinkled in like credits and lots of different armors to choose from.

And they also need to have a bunch of new cool weapons, enemies, vehicles and maybe a few gadgets in Halo 4. Some very light RPG elements in the game would be great like being able to change your armor and some aspects of your weapons (silencer different scopes) during the campaign which would let you do different things much like Crysis or Mass Effect. And it looks like the setting of Halo 4 would make it very possible to do some awesome new things like that.

I especially hope they combine the best of Halo 3/Halo Reach multiplayer and add in some cool new things on top of that. Also I hope they really push on the graphics front and make the best looking 360 game.


Unfortunately, Halo will never be the best looking 360 game. One of the key aspects of Halo is split screen multiplayer - they won't eliminate that. Unfortunately, if you want a game to be able to look as good as it can possibly look, you have to sacrifice the split screen - it just takes too make resources. They may be able to squeeze out slightly better graphics can reach, but to make a split screener the best looking is impossible.

Yeah I know, the graphics whore inside of me crys at the thought of not having ridiculous graphics but I still prefer having split screen and whatnot to having the best graphics on the 360. As long as it's better than Reach I'll be happy.

still halo CE and Halo 2 were most of the time stated as the best looking games on the original xbox...  and gears of war 3 looks terrible because having splitscreen?

Halo CE was one of the best lookign Xbox games at launch. It was far surpassed. Halo 2 as well. Look at Ninja Gaiden, then look at Halo 2.

And where did anyone say terrible? "Not the best". That means not #1, not the greatest of them all. That doesn't mean bad. Actually it can be great. Phenomenal! Stupendous! But not the very best. Like I said, they could make it look even better than Reach, but it's not going to claim the graphics title.

I just find it weird to read this discussion  when you have a game like Gears of war 3 that has splitscreen and is one best looking games and maybe the best looking game on X360 in 2011

First of all, we're talking about Halo. Do you think it has a shot to look better than Gears 3? After all, we're only referring to the best looking game of all.

Second, Gears has 2 player split screen. Halo can have 4 players in local Multiplayer - do you think they could achieve better than Gears 3 graphics with  4 player split screen? If not, the point is moot. I'm not dissing Halo, I love Halo. I'm not dissing the Xbox, or MS. I'm saying from a technical perspective, it is NOT reasonable to think that the next Halo game could maintain it's current split screen capabilities AND take the graphics crown. There's a finite number of resources available. Heck, even the technically more powerful PS3 will never have a title of Gears level graphics with 4 player split screen.

Reach is better than Halo 3 imo. More content, better campaign, improved forge, firefight, and multiplayer is just better and more well polished. The only reason Halo has gone slightly down in popularity is COD. It's not a horrible thing because now most the casual players horde COD, while true Halo fans will stick with Halo. Halo's just not the "it" multiplayer game like it use to be during Halo 2 and 3 days, but that doesn't make it a worse game.

Like most folks said, almost every Halo after Halo 3 has been a spinoff(to even some extent Reach), but everyone will see with Halo 4 that the franchise is still very much popular. It just needed a proper sequel.


This. I'm sick of people complaining about Reach's Multiplayer... Its leagues beyond any halo title. In my experience the people that complain just suck at it.

Lucky that you are an great player with 0.81 K/D  in MLG and 0.50 K/D in Double team...Two playlists where skill matters...

Anyway the multiplayer system needs some change.     Let people join matching in progress,  a new punishment for quitters.  (the ban and resets suck when you have to quit because you have to go)..  . 

you did not really pick one wehere he has played 18m did you? wtf? serious? i mean it's like i would see barcelona losing against some other team in the spanish football league and saying "yes they aren't as good as the rest they lost this one game"

No,  it would be like Barcelona boosting how great they are because they are always in the top 5 of the spanish leaque but then end up having trouble to survive the group fase in the CL.      and why no word about MLG?  Is their any halo player that doesn't know that the players with skill are in the MLG playlist?

he didn't play much mlg as well and he didn't say that he's the greatest he just said "people that complain just suck at it" and he doesn't suck at halo he is clearly better than the average player.

i bet few more mlg hours and he would have a positive ratio there as well.  and just because he doesn't play mlg doesn't mean he isn't a good player there are plenty of players who could have a very high ratio i mlg but don't play it. not everyone who is good needs to enlarge his penis playing mlg because "this is where the elite is"  many just play for fun without this challenge thinking.

but i'm with you saying that it makes no sense to say that people who don't like reach multiplayer have to suck at it. it just means they like another kind of gameplay.

Dual wielding, and a campaign without an anticlimactic ending.

A complete overhaul.

I've recently been playing Anniversary and realised just how little it's changed since then - same enemies, same gameplay, same weapons. The only radical departure came with ODST, everything else has been baby steps and little (largely crappy - I'm lookin' at you Reach load-outs) tweaks.

I'm pretty jaded about Halo now. It's gone the way of CoD for me - such a superb game, but done to death with spin-offs and yearly iterations, so now I've started to dislike it. I guess I'm burnt out. I'm not gonna buy Halo 4 unless it's radically different and actually brings something new to the table. There's certainly potential for that, especially with the hints at forerunner tech playing a big part, but I ain't banking on it. I think 343 will play it safe. I have zero faith in them actually, after they messed up co-op in Anniversary so badly and STILL haven't fixed it. Yeah, screw you 343.

Bet you do....

Trust me he won't, he only got Reach and Anniversary cos I begged him

I will pick up Halo 4 more than likely, but I echo Machina's sentiments, I want radical change.

I certainly dont want radical change, I'd rather see evolution.  I would also like some aspects of the CE campaign return.

Also I dont see this kind of impatience and intolerance with other genres ot titles....  mind numbingly boring beat 'em ups like Mortal Wombat (or whatever its called) for instance

There have only been 2 Mk's this entire gen : and the one that just came out feels very fresh and packed.

Some franchises just feel old and worn no matter how many iterations there are. Fable has only had 2 games this gen but the majority are sick of it and don't want anymore. Whereas Forza has had 3 and people would still lap up another one.

Wars, ODST are both great, but the main iterations this gen have been very boring for me.

They need to make this game very open, go back to the exploration and unkown feeling like the original. Maybe add an RPG element of two. Now with Multiplayer maybe crank up the amount of players from 16-24. Then make the obvious changes like improved graphics, Forge, Firefight, theater, etc. Then add a new game mode(s), something like beast mode in Gears 3 would be neat and/or air combat. Adding some of the vehicles from Halo Wars would be sick like Grizzles, Hawks, mech guys, locust. The need to come up with a badass equivalent to the scarab.

There is so much they could do with this game it's crazy, so many possibilities.

Reasonable on 04 January 2012

More focus on single player for me. MP, unless they really shake it up, is pretty much defined now - but I've found each SP to get less interesting with Reach being completely bland for me.

Halo 2 and 3 had some good moments but overall I still prefer the SP in CE and I think it's a shame the SP has been somewhat neglected in terms of advancing as much as the MP.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
