agreed

You also have some good points. But how can reach feel more like halo then the original trilogy. Reach is great and i love it, it just seems easier to become good. There is more luck involved and less skill. Sure there are new skills that have come with bloom and AA's, but it's still a game of luck. Either you have to be phycic or really lucky to guess weather or not the opponent walking around the next corner has armor lock or not. In Halo 1,2,3 all players were even in terms of advantages (not induing the players individual skill level). In reach, certain AA's give the player certain advantages in combat. So in reach, there is some luck involved. I liked the old Halos when the only luck involved was which gun the opponent picked up. Or that random plasma grenade that killed that one guy. I still love Reach and favor it to CoD, but it's just not the same as the Older halos. It's not that I am against change. Like your example with your mom rearranging your room: she might've arranged stuff, and added a thing or to, she didn't get you a new bed or dresser. She just rearranged your room. This seems like a good idea for future Halos: keeping the basics (ex: your bed) but also changing them while still keeping the same important stuff (ex: new sheets for your bed). This adds flavor and spice to the game without changing the feel too much.

Cool! I knew about reduced bloom and fixed armor lock, but not elites and Spartans on the same team. Looking forward to this! P.S. The video isn't working. Try reposting a link or the video.

Ahaha!!! I would kill myself!! Oh, wait....

Spartan customization will undoubtedly be back. But Elites will likely not me in the game. There might be Forerunner playable figures in MP, but most likely, not elites.

Looks epic. The halo 4 menu reminds me of Halo 3. 343i has already shown us the CEA menu though. I think the format should stay the same as this (for Halo4) but changes the background every now and then. Or have it be a video type background like Halo CE and halo 2,3. Nothing like the classics:)

Interesting. Up untill now the flood and forerunners were the only enemy we could think up. Now the precursors can be added to that list. I think it would be cool to have a storyline were The Chief joins the forerunners to fight the precursors and their flood (if they did create the flood like you said). Whatever the case, I think 343i will make this game as epic as it can be.

no. Halo has never had attachment that gave an advanage besides the silencer. and that was only in campaign and firefight. its just not halo.

Agreed. AA's changed the core gameplay too much. lets go back to the basics.

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=DKLPEzpjN90 If it doesn't work it's cause I'm on a mobile. Just search on YouTube: halo 4 panel.

we should expect to see more Halo as the release of Halo 4 draws nearer. CEA will not get a lot of addvertizing because the Combat evolved already came out.

If you can go to Youtube, its on there. if not, what parts did you miss?

i know. but they are making bloom at zero for some playlist. and for others just reduced bloom.

Sweet! I like the site fine now. I can't wait to see how 343 can make it better.

Great! P.S. There is an ad for Pornography on this forum and the report button isn't working. Just though I should put that out there.

Now on the bottom right corner of every post, there are two buttons. Green is like, red is dislike (must I really have to explain this?). Just though I should give everyone a heads up.

Report button doesnt work.

I jumped in at Halo 2 though.

Didn't we already figure out it was forerunner a while ago?

And I refuse to vote because of your one-sided options.

Why would the Chief need a mech. He already has super-human streangth, an armor suit that weighs nearly a half-ton, and has augmented bones. He is like a living Mech already. He doesn't need it, he's better off without it. And halo just didn't feel like a mech kinda game.

We already have a pretty good idea of some species. Most if the structures in the concept art is obviously fourunner. The shield world (sigma 7 most likely) further backs this up. And I think in thus new trailer when Cortana says, There more of them, I think she's talking about sentinels or drones. This sounds a lot like scenes from Halo: Ghost of Onyx. They are very similar sounding. So don't freak out, 343i will release it when they are good and ready.

Im pretty sure sidewinder is one of them. Maybe Death canyon. These have not been confirmed yet, so don't get your hopes up.

I like the idea of a custom contoler scheme. It would save 343i done tine of making their own. If they can do it, why shouldn't we?

Wow. This Is the first time I have ever seen a post where someone says 'play CoD if you want to spam' 'keep bloom'. You are correct about spamming in CoD, and yes bloom is fine once you are used to it. But I think that when people say 'bloom sux' and 'no AA's they mean that Reach strayed to far from what Halo truly is. In the classic trilogy there was no bloom or sprint, or armor lock, but it was still fun. It had a distinct feel to it's MP gameplay. Reach has an entirely different feel to it's gameplay. AA's and bloom changed what halo fans were used to. Don't get me wrong, Reach is a great game. It's just different, and most people don't like different. Or they do, they just don't want it too different. So different, that it doesnt even feel close to the classic Halo experience. Now don't freak out because the title update will remove Bloom and fix armor lock, you will still have your bloom. Instead, there will be separate playlists. Some will keep reach how it is, it won't change a thing. Other playlists will be more like Halo should be. There will still be AA's yes, but bloom won't be a factor anymore, the Magnum Is back, and new classic maps will make a comeback. So don't freak out, you will still have Reach as it is. It's just that most Halo fans want to experience the classic halo gameplay again.
