I think 343 will make a beter halo game than Bungie did with the last 2 :).

i was thinking about buying Cod but now no chance. Halo 4 FTW

Really?

As a Halo fan, it looks to me like the SP through information has the potential to be the best yet. As for the multiplayer, I bet 343 have kept alot of original modes where level ups dont affect the power of a weapon etc. From what I understand you will still be able to play multiplayer without attachments effecting etc. Halo has always had more multiplayer modes than other console games, so adding in modes for weapon attachment use is just another notch in the belt.

Also what 343 track record do you refer to? Halo Anniversary was bloody amazing.

Ok I do see your point now. But Im not worried. The main names from Bungie that know Halo are at 343, the good bit is the rest of the team is fresh and contains some massive developers. I'm sure I read theres even designers and graphics engineers from companies like Naugty Dog, Bioware and a few others that work for 343. Some big names are there if I remeber rightly.

the BR Kill graphics omfg... the shadows on BR this game will be the best

What exactly do you mean with CODified mp? Because it seems halo mp will still stay halo?

Cant wait for this! They should have waited until the CODrelease date was announced to avoid ot though..

Can you name me such elements?

i just wonder why "attention on graphics" makes you feel that it won't be as good as the bungie halos. i mean, almost every ps3 exclusive had a big attention on graphics as well, do you believe they would be better without the attention to make brilliant graphics? uncharted, gow, killzone... yesterday you were happy to get a new gow with great graphics and the same day you say that's the reason you think halo won't be as good as the previous ones? great graphics was clearly an aim for gow, why isn't it bad for ps3 games but for halo? it's not like they would spend less money in improving gameplay or so just for graphics. they just employ more people and that's it^^ same with pc games, you always want that they look brilliant (like crysis 3). why do you hope that? that would mean the game could be worse because of the attention on graphics!

In terms of sales Battlefield 3 has never held a candle to Call of Duty so that is a terrible comparison. Based on current trends, Call of Duty will likely beat Halo but probably not by as much as you are predicting it will. Halo 3 will be 5 years old by the time Halo 4 releases and its a safe bet that many Halo players skipped over ODST and Reach as they prefer to wait for the main instalments, and even then both games sold in excess of 5 million copies in addition to GoD figures that are unknown. Don't forget in holiday season sales, Halo 3 was the last game to best a Call of Duty instalment (doubt it can repeat this, GTA V is the only game with a shot).

You've said in terms on online actitivy CoD will outstrip Halo by more than 2:1 on day one. Multiplatform maybe, but if your talking on the 360, not even close. More interested to see how many sales each game loses to the other, fair bet a huge number of gamers will want both but for various reasons only be able to opt for one.
