I think it would be nice to have the campaign remastered like CE, and maybe some of the old maps remade.

The human weapons in the trailer didn't look human. They looked like an artist made them really fancy just because it was possible. I mean, the grunts and elites that I saw already look like they came out of some kid's Saturday morning cartoon, but at least make the weapons right please?

I say, if 343i is committed to the fans, maybe you should remake the game REACH? I was telling my friends from the first day I started the campaign that the armor was wrong, and that the Spartan III's were too old. Regarding this, there are fans who write articles over at the halo.wikia site who have done a marvelous job of integrating as many of Bungie's mistakes into the true storyline as possible, and they all deserve widespread recognition and thanks by all HALO fans who care about the story. Thank you halo.wikia. If you want to know what I'm talking about, look up the spartans of Noble Team, and it will explain how spartans as old as Carter managed to make their way into the REACH storyline, and it explains how their armor was advanced well beyond the Semi-Powered Infiltration suit. All of that work is very well done, and they explain it as things that happened in the storyline, but were simply not in the books, or were done outside of the timeframe covered by the books. Again I will say, excellently done, thank you very much. Despite all that, however, is the issue of Pillar of Autumn. That part of the game is simply NOT CANON. Even on the wikia pages, where people have worked so hard to cover Bungie's mistakes, they simply have to resort to game>book when it comes to the storyline of Pillar of Autumn. I would like to see 343i rectify the mistakes of Bungie, if that is cost effective, and I would like to not see the same carelessness that Bungie put into it's final product. To 343i, if possible please change the mistakes made in REACH, and please do not ignore your fans like Bungie did. I understand that there are many people at 343i who were at Bungie. I hope you individuals moved to 343i because you love the series and you will treat it with all the care you can. Thank you again, 343i for picking up HALO when it was in a place where it could've fallen away. All of us are grateful, and cautiously hopeful that you will bring back the attention and passion to the story and game that Bungie forgot. But really, yeah, the game REACH is invalid in respect to the story.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT I WILL SPEND MY MONEY ON A GAME THAT BETRAYS WHAT THE FANS WANT.

I FOUND THIS LINK IN A DIFFERENT FORUM SECTION. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT IT. CLICK ON THE PAGES TO OPEN THEM UP AND ACTUALLY READ THEM. http://gamingsquid.c...former-magazine IF I PURCHASE THIS GAME AND FIND THIS ARTICLE IS TRUE, I WILL TRADE THIS GAME BACK IN AND NOT PLAY IT. NOBODY WANTS A COD/HALO MIX. DO NOT MAKE HALO LIKE COD. YOU WILL LOSE FANS. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. YOU SHOULD NOT GET TO BUY BETTER STUFF THAT WILL CHANGE GAMEPLAY IF YOU'RE BETTER. IT SHOULD STAY BALANCED. PLEASE, 343i, PRETTY PLEASE, DO NOT DO THIS TO US. KEEP HALO. DON'T TRY TO COPY COD. ALSO, THIS STUFF ABOUT THE SECONDARY CAMPAIGN THAT YOU PLAY AS A SPARTAN IV, PLEASE DON'T MAKE US PAY FOR THAT. DON'T MAKE THE PLAYERS PAY FOR EVERY LITTLE THING LIKE BUNGIE DID WITH REACH. THE NEW, INTERESTING THINGS ARE FUN IN THE CAMPAIGN, BUT THE MULTIPLAYER SHOULD ALWAYS BE AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD.

I WILL START THIS OFF BY SAYING, NO BLOOM ON THE WEAPONS. IF YOU WANT THE GAME TO BE REALISTIC, THEN HAVE A RISE ON THE WEAPONS AS YOU FIRE. BUT BLOOM, THINK ABOUT IT. IF SPARTANS WERE REAL, WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY HAVE ADVANCED HEADS UP DISPLAYS THAT MAKE IT HARDER TO SHOOT? THE WEAPONS ARE UPLINKED TO HUDS, SO THE HUDS SHOULD ENCHANCE THE WEAPONS, NOT MAKE THEM MORE DIFFICULT. ALSO, THE BLOOM JUST PLAIN OLD FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS IN OTHER GAMES. NOT HALO. I DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO XBOX LIVE WHEN HALO 3 WAS AROUND, SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE RANKING SYSTEM. I LIKE THE REACH SYSTEM BECAUSE PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT AS GOOD CAN STILL GET CREDITS AND UNLOCK ARMOR CUSTOMIZATIONS. MAYBE MAKE RANK AND CREDITS SEPERATE SYSTEMS, THIS WAY YOU GET RANK FOR PLAYING WELL, BUT EVERYONE CAN GET CREDITS. ALSO, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER PLAYERS WANT SOMETHING FOR BEING BETTER, BUT THAT IS RANK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PERFORMANCE PERKS FOR BEING BETTER. EVERYONE, PERFORMANCE WISE, SHOULD BE ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, JUST LIKE THE HALOS OF THE PAST. AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE, PLEASE BRING BACK THE WEAPONS FROM HALO 3. NO DMR PLEASE!!!!! BATTLE RIFLE!!!!!! THE HALO 3 WEAPON SELECTION WAS THE BEST. PLEASE DON'T BRING BACK THE ABILITIES FROM REACH, BUT THE EQUIPMENT FROM HALO 3 WAS FUN. A HIGHER GRENADE COUNT THAN JUST TWO OF EACH KIND. BACK TO FOUR PLEASE? I LIKE THAT IN THE TRAILERS IT LOOKS LIKE THE SHIELD SYSTEM FROM HALO 3. A CUSTOMIZABLE HEADS UP DISPLAY WOULD BE LOTS OF FUN. A CUSTOMIZABLE BUTTON SETUP WOULD BE GREAT(THINK STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2) FINALLY, HALO 3 FELT LIKE THE HALO GAME WAS EXPANDING AND EVOLVING, REACH FELT LIKE BUNGIE WAS TRYING TO BRIDGE OVER AND BE LIKE COD. I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT COD IS BAD, OR GOOD. I LIKE THE COD GAMES JUST FINE AND I PLAY THE CAMPAIGNS, BUT I DO NOT WANT HALO 4 TO BE COD. I KNOW THAT THE TRAILERS ARE OUT, AND THAT MEANS THAT SOME ASPECTS OF THE GAME ARE FIXED AT THIS POINT, BUT MOST POSTS I HAVE SEEN DO NOT WANT ARMOUR ABILITIES, BUT DO LIKE THE EQUIPMENT PICKUPS FROM HALO 3. PLEASE KEEP THIS GAME A HALO GAME AND DO NOT TRY TO MAKE IT MORE LIKE OTHER GAMES. I FELT LET DOWN WHEN I PLAYED REACH BECAUSE THE CAMPAIGN IS DULL AND UNINTERESTING. THE HALO 3 CAMPAIGN IS SOMETHING THAT I PLAYED FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS. FINALLY AGAIN, I FELT BETRAYED BY BUNGIE BECAUSE THE FANS WERE OFTEN DISREGARDED. I FELT LIKE HALO REACH WAS JUST A HALF DONE PROJECT BECAUSE BUNGIE WAS QUITTING ON HALO. PLEASE DO NOT REPEAT THIS. I THINK TO SUM UP WHAT WE, THE FANS WANT, THE FOLLOWING CAN BE SAID. HALO CE, 2, AND 3 WERE ALL VERY RAW IN A WAY. SIMPLE CONTROLS, EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL PLAYERS. GAMES LIKE COD AND OTHER SHOOTERS HAVE TRIED TO PACK ALOT OF "STUFF" INTO THEIR SHOOTERS, AND THE STUFF HAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THE GAME ITSELF. HALO, UNTIL REACH, WAS VERY BASIC. WE COULD ENJOY PLAYING WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT A BUNCH OF "STUFF" PACKED INTO THE GAME. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU 343i FOR PICKING UP THE HALO FRANCHISE. AT FIRST, LIKE MANY OTHERS, I WAS ANGRY THAT BUNGIE WOULD DROP THE GAMES AND ABANDON THEIR FANS, AND I FELT PERSONALLY BETRAYED BY BUNGIE. BUT YOU GUY AND GIRLS HAVE ALL PICKED UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF AND HAVE CONTINUED. SO, ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT USED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW BAD THE CHANGE TO 343 WAS GOING TO BE, ULTIMATELY, I AM GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE HALO UNIVERSE AND YOUR FANS. WITH THAT SAID, PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR FANS. WE DO NOT WANT A SHOOTER THAT IS LIKE OTHER SHOOTERS. REMEMBER THAT OTHER GAMES CAME AROUND BECAUSE OF, AND WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS, HALO. HALO DOES NOT WANT TO BE OTHER GAMES. WE WANT HALO. THANK YOU, ~ A FAN

I am not going to post the picture of the AI symbol again in this post, but when it says "ancient evil" I also don't think of the Didact. I think of Mendicant Bias. I have not read the latest book in the Forerunner series, so I don't know exactly what is happening with the Didact, but I remember him having a certain respect for the humans. I do recognize that the glyph is the glyph for the Didact, but why would he be against humans/reclaimers? Perhaps he took control of the ship to control the crash landing because otherwise they would have died? It wold be cool to fight the original betrayer, Mendicant.
