Did not enjoy the reveal, it gives me the Cod: AW/Destiny/Crysis vibe.

I remember the Halo 2 reveal, where they show us stuff like the energy sword, hijacking banshees, stuff that was original and we not saw in an other game before.

in fact I feel honestly sick after watching it and it makes me more sick that this game is an exclusive and will be defended by fanboys... Hope they throw out stuff and listen to the fans...

 I can't forget that panel with 343 where one attendee asked 'Will we have big team battles with 64 players'? and the crowd was like OH YES WE WANT..And then one guy from 343 answered 'yeah not really'.... 64 players big team battles was the most popular request asked at the bungie forum for Halo 3...and Halo Reach...

Complains about Halo being like other games then wants it to be like Battlefield too.

I could have sworn people were saying COD AW was trying to be Halo when it was announced a few months ago.

GT Gave MCC 9.3, more than I expected but kind of a short video review for a huge package..

For the RPG players here: Gamespot gave Dragon Age: Inquisition a 9. The reviewer said it took him 85 hours to beat the main game + dozens of sidequests, but he was still nowhere close to have done and seen everything.

I can live with it all except ground pound, looks sh** hate being able to choose where you hit the floor, it's going to be the first to get nerfed =P


I think 343 said that would be nerfed. But during the Halo 5 pro match they specifically said they put all this in to see what fans want and what they don't want.

Shame about the matchmaking issues. Hopefully M$ get it fixed asap



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

No, people love big team battle and wanted to see an extra game type with more players on it but for sure no gameplay as battlefield.

Secondly yes COD AW is moving with its setting/story closer to Halo but at the same time playing Halo 4 made people feel like it is moving aswell closer to COD... Linear/scripted events/Run from A to B etc;.

I don't get it, I thought we all agreed that Halo 4's multiplayer is not so great and expecially thanks to special abilities? Now they show us the first time Halo 5 and what do they show? Special abilities....tell me why we should be happy and excited about it?

Because they took out what people said they hated. No loadouts, no armor perks, no random weapon spawns, no killstreak ordinance. They made the game pure arena and people always find something to complain about. IMO this is already much closer to Halo roots than 4. Its 4v4 with everyone on a level playing field having to fight for power weapons with all the same abilities and each one has a backdraw to balance it. You can't gain shield from Sprint, you're out in the air vulnerable using ground pound. Dash is 1 time every few seconds so no spamming. This is the balance that Destiny and Halo 4 did not have.
