Before I begin i would like you to know I am not trolling anyone and I am expressing my opinion on a matter I consider very serious. I know many of you will flame me and disregard me, but I need to get my feelings out to the community. I need you to know what I believe. I know for a fact Halo 4 is going to be a great game. But it is not what Halo is, it is not Halo. I grew up with Halo and my Xbox. Halo was a very important part of my childhood. I remember coming home everyday from school and starting up Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2 with the same euphoric look on my face. There was nothing that compared to popping skulls with the pistol, or headshotting grunts and elites alike with the BR. When time came, I saved all the money I could for an Xbox 360, because I knew Halo 3 was on its arrival. I was so eager to play it, so hyped up by everyone around me. To this day, I believe it to be the most hyped up video game ever. Some say that throne belongs to Modern Warfare 3, but I disregard them. G4 did not do a 24 hour countdown to MW3, and if they did. It was not worth it. The hype that led up to Halo 3 was completely worth it. That game was the reason I got Xbox Live. And that game was to this day, the best experience I have ever had in a multiplayer game. A few years ago, Halo: Reach, Bungie's farewell had released. For months prior, I would spend hours on the forums. And I had spoiled the campaign for myself prerelease. But I cared not, while we enjoyed Reach for weeks, we crashed and came to loathe it. But I recently returned to it, to give it another shot. And what I discovered is how much i had loved it. It was a bitter-sweet finale. Halo was done. Until they announced Halo 4. From the get-go, I had shaky feelings about Halo 4. Previous to the release of the ViDoc, I felt like the entire new trilogy was just milking the series. The original Halo had to die, its rezurection was blasphemous to the original trilogy. The thing I was so hung up on was the fact that they had already defeated the covenant. Starting a new trilogy with all new enemies would undermine the entire struggle, the entirety of Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: ODST, Halo:Reach, and even Halo Wars. The one thing I would not stand for is the replacement of the Covenant as the new enemies. There is way too much of a nostalgia factor to replace grunts, elites, jackals, hunters, and even brutes, prophets, and drones. The sheer gameplay that was created by the variations in the enemies you fought was what made Halo Halo. How do they plan on replacing the Covenant with "Forerunners", as speculated and completely change the gameplay of the it all. My biggest gripe is that there is too much change for this to be a canonical continuation. Sure, I know the game must change from game to game. But the game no longer resembles what you and I grew up playing and loving. There is too big of a jump. The thread was sewn so tight, the only thing we had left to wonder was where Master Chief would end up. Johnson and Miranda are dead. The Arbiter and the elites have gone home. Who is there to fight? The ViDoc had gave me mixed feelings. On one hand I was estatic to play this game as it looked good and fun. The multiplayer instantly gave me visions of Halo 3 on Narrows, although I am not a big fan of the new Spartan IVs(they look like they are wearing the Nanosuit from Crysis) But on the other hand, I felt violated, and I have never, ever felt this way about a video game before. Why does Chief have new armor? How does chief have new armor? Why does the BR look so different? Why does the Warthog look so different? Who is the Chief going to fight now? These things,The BR(atleast a semi-shot, skill required weapon), the Warthog, The Covenant are all staples of the Halo Franchise. If you remove them or heavily alter them, these staples are going to fall apart, and the paper they bind together will promptly follow. There is so much change with little canonical explanation. My hope is this will all be explained in the beginning of the game, and that the covenant will return as the main enemy, but the Forerunners will replace the flood as the emerging enemy. Although I know for sure that is not going to happen. 343 is going to take Halo 4 in the direction they deem fit, and I do have respect for them. They are the ones making the game and it is their right to alter it. But I know, deep down that the new trilogy will end up being like the second Star Wars Trilogy. I don't want Halo to be like this. Halo has changed too much, it is no longer Halo. It is no longer the game I grew up with. I will by the game, there is no doubt about that, but I don't think I will enjoy it. I'm not mad, I'm scared, scared of what Halo is going to become. I hope, I really, really hope that I am dead wrong. But that is not what I think, that is not what I know will happen. I'm scared for Halo 4, and you should be too.

Also what would you ask it? -
So, I have been spending the past few days making some halo videos, and have uploaded three to youtube so far. One of them is a short stand-alone machinima, and two are just your average gameplay videos. Here is a link to the youtube channel, from which you can find all of the videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/Daltominus?feature=mhee I hope everyone enjoys the videos. Great job to every single person ever involved in any of the halos, including the players. Without the amazing, loyal, and fun fanbase Halo has, Halo may as well be cod.

What do you think?

This is quite possibly the most amazing WTF moment in halo I've ever seen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgLNgwZJJtY&feature=channel_video_title

Halo 4 talk / halo 4 beta I created this topic to talk to the public about Halo I love halo, but not just about that also I wanted to also talk to you about halo 4 and the beta possibly coming out this may. Halo 4 is expected to follow halo reach's pattern which is that the real trailer will come out around March-April the beta to come out around may, loads of info coming out around August-September and the game to come out in the fall. Here is a link to the video where I got this info from. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/profile?user=Halo4Follower&v=Wcj6Aox-bMU&view=videos In every halo game with master chief they have changed his armor every game so Im going to tell you what feature are the Same and what has changed . 343 industries has changed master chiefs armor they took the cod piece a.k.a. The space diaper and replaced it with a hard black plating you can see the change in the link below . I would recommend watching his videos if you want to know more about halo 4 his name is halo4follower. If you were wondering the cool lights on his helmet is back . http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/profile?user=Halo4Follower&v=Wcj6Aox-bMU&view=videos We will be able to predict that some of the halo 4 multiplayer maps will be from halo maps in the past this is possible to predict because of halos history . We know for a fact they bring back maps here are a couple of examples Reflection from halo reach was a remake and was broughten back from halo 2s version ivroy tower, Pinicle from halo reach was a remake of the map ascension and hemorrhage was broughten back from halo two except it was called blood gulch. Here is the video link I got this information from http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/watch?v=MFDEMHl0e-M . Here is some interesting information I have found on one of frank o'conor's interviews. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/watch?v=0wv3vgtDKEQ . Notice at the beginning he says ai's are like a voice of god, guide and narator. He also says theirs is a ai named bb in glasslands and we will be hearing more about him in halo4. Also it says that they are not done with the covnent and we will be hearing more about there story in halo 5 possibly. Grave minds are minds that form when enough flood mass gets together. He says that 1 of the noble team could have of survived possibly jun because in reach it did not show him die maybe he could be in halo 4 hostage on the planet. Says chief is one of the last remaining spartain 2s and maybe there will be other spartain 2s in the new halo trilogy aka halo 4,5,6 . The flood only exists because the halo rings needed a disease on the planet. Halo 4 will be using the same engine as halo reach used, so in a way the game will be similar. If anyone was wondering about the so called jet pack in the halo 4 trailer.it is not a jet pack it is a 0 gravity pack said frank o'conor. So that means that there might not be any armor abilities we will have to wait and see some gameplay? http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/watch?v=Y9iQiHNXgMU Here is the halo 4 trailer brought to you by ign. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=CA#/watch?v=Y9iQiHNXgMU . Most people thought the weapon master chief is holding is a pistol, well it is not it might be a new hand gun. Do you think this gun will make the game better post your answer below? Thank you for reading this and i hope to get back to you on any questions you have. As of right now there is no halo 4 beta any beta will be fake I will inform everyone when the official beta comes out. This is "its leg" you can add me on xbox live. Halo 4 Q and A Q: Do you feel comfortable with 343 taking the halo franchise over? A: Alot of people say that there a whole new company and they don't know what there doing. But really 343 has a lot of old bungie employee's. So I do feel comfertable. Q from http://www.343industries.org/forum/user/17017-highplainsdrifter/ : Do you think there will be a video in three days or just an action figure announcement? A: there might be a new video of frank o'conor talking and some people might see some pictures about halo 4 on the walls with some really good info like at halo fest. But for sure there will be some info released. If you have any questions for me to add to this section comment them I'll put a answer and they will be pu up in this section.

Whai is YOUR favorit weapon of all time from any Halo game?
-
I have found that playing on the Anniversary playlists is so much more fun than the normal playlists. It feels more like Halo 3 and it made Reach feel like I whole new game. Also, the magnum is just amazing. I've been having a lot of fun, and was wondering if anybody else agrees that the game feels better with the tweaked speed and no armor abilities. I now have complete confidence in 343 Industries.

Where do you think the other halos are? are they destoryed? were they activated recently? what are their enviorments like? are they even rings?

First and foremost, get rid of the loadouts. In my opinion, the loadout feature has ruined the entire Halo experience. I think most of the Halo vets will agree with me on that one. Why be lazy and use a jetpack when you can learn super bounces like in Halo 2. Why be a ***** and hide under your armor lock when you can strategically plan out the smartest time to pick up the overshield. Next. BR > DMR. The DMR is trash. The BR was such a better go to weapon. I mean come on, strafing and placing your shots is enough to comprehend, but to strafe, place, and TIME your shots? Get real Bungie. I really hope 343 destroys the DMR and brings back the BR. Ranking system. The Halo: Reach ranking system is the worst ranking system I've ever experienced in any game, ever. You don't even have a number that says how skilled you are! Instead, all you get is a symbol that says how much you play! I would much rather be ranked on how WELL I play the game, not on how much I PLAY the game. Halo 2 had my favorite ranking system. All you need is a simple, solid number that says your skill. I remember when I first got my 30, how pretty the colors were on that number. Halo 3's ranking system was ok, but then again, experience points and grades are unnecesary to me. Glitches. I miss all of Halo 2's glitches. Super bouncing, BXR, Double shot, getting outside of maps, etc. I had so much fun with all of these glitches in matchmaking. I also had a lot of fun trying to figure them out in custom games with a group of friends. I would love to see 343 bring back the super bounce, and throw in some glitches of their own. One thing that I have always wanted to see is a custom matchmaking playist. No vetos, no majority vote, just pick a map, pick a gametype, and search for others who have the same custom settings as yourself. Of course keep all of the other playlists like Doubles, Snipers, Rumblepit, etc. Just add 'custom matchmaking' to the playlist. I would also like to see 1v1. Halo 2 had it for a bit but they pulled it as well as on Halo 3. It was there for about 6 months in each game until it was pulled. This time I hope 343 keeps it. Last but not least, I hope to see a lot of the old maps return in their original forms. Lockout is the best Halo map of them all. I really like Blackout too, but it's just not the same. The reason these maps are brought back is because they were so popular and highly demanded. If you're going to bring an old map back just leave it the way it is. I don't care if you have a good idea on how to improve it. If it's a classic, it doesn't need improvement, so don't alter it. Here is a list of maps I hope to see in Halo 4. Lockout, Ascention, Guardian, Construct, Cold Storage, Headlong, Beaver Creek, The Pit, Midship, Ivory Tower. The list goes on. I think most of the maps in H2 and H3 were amazing, but there are a couple that just suck. Honestly, I think I just miss the old Halo experience. I really hope 343 removes every intention Bungie had for Reach and brings back the old features to relive and continue to enjoy the 'Halo experience.' Oh yeah, one more thing i forgot to mention. I always thought team captains would be cool. For example, say you enter team slayer and 8 players are randomly selected. I think the top 2 players with the highest rank should be the team captains. Then the other players will be chosen by the team captains based on their stats, rank, name, annoyingness or however they feel to pick their teammates. I think it would add a little more fairness and teamwork to the halo experience but not so much that it completely changes the game... like Reach.

If you could know anything on Halo 4 what would it be and why?

Hi everyone! Here is our new funtage, "A French Wheelmen Way", "French Wheelmen" is a French community based on fun with Halo vehicles, enjoy it ! Give your feedback ! Thanks

Why i ask is by the looks of it MLG it will slowly be pushed aside and looked at a main stream within the US and not Europe going forward! Here in the Uk & Europe there are many competitive leagues making it big within time that H4 comes out and i was wondering what they plan on doing. One of them being Multiplay which is a HUGE game festival here in the Uk and the other one being EGL ( European Gaming League ) which they due to have a few events this year. Thought Instead of having a MLG playlist they could look at bringing a competitive playlist out run similar to the way they run MLG if not better..... not saying i dont want MLG there at all but seeing there's more competitive sites nowadays and the community speaks out to them if they want changes anyway, which of course is reviewed them implemented if agreed but just thinking of other ways 343 and H4 could do to make it fair on others.... again just an opinion thats all so what do you think? and why....
-
my idea is that they make a map (or maps) thats kind of like one that i have made (except mine is amateur). its a map with 2 bases, everyone gets one life, and there are 10 rounds, there is one sniper per base, with only 4 bullets, out of the 5 loadouts a few of them have a rocket launcher in them (the game type is called the battle of reach part 2 if your intrested in seeing for yourself), there are no scorpians or gauss warthogs. there is one rocket warthog and one regular warthog per base, one wraith, as many ghosts as u want, 2 revenants, as many mongooses as u want, one banshee, and 2 falcons. no spartan lasers, and 2 big bases. i fell like im missing something but you wont be able to see the map since there lot of versions, plus im editing it in case i have to show it to 343. but, in my opinion, this is the perfect map and gametype to be able to force the teams to use every single aspect ofthe game to win. this shud be a no parties allowed game type of course. comment under here

I have been playing the Halo series since the original one for the X-Box, and have also played countless shooters. From the Game-cube to the PS3, I've seen them all. Age-wise, I'm approaching the end to my video game career- college is all too realistically close, and money is starting to become thin for frivolous purchases. Halo 4 is going to be one of my last purchases, and I would love to see near every idea proposed on these forums to go into this game- An epic forge, bots, countless vehicles: Halo 4 should be "ballz to the wallz" crazy. What does the rest of the fanbase think? I understand some few are conservatives, wanting to see Halo 4 restricted and unrefined, but I honestly think that would be an enormous waste.

this is a tournement for anyone who is not a pro. i dont care if ur in a clan, either way, just enter, u need exactly 8 people i will except the first 8 teams. round one is 4 games. game 1, btb on hemmorhage game 2, 5 best members on your team do a slayer on the cage, pinnacle, or asylum game 3, submit your best 4 players into a 4v4v4v4. game 4, btb on map of better teams choice, not-custom best 4 advance. round 1 is 8v8 and 8v8. team that loses by the most is eliminated final 3 do 5v5v5 final 2 do 8v8 on the cage to 200 kills thats it GT: A hil13

I personally wouldn't mind some armor abilities, but armor lock needs to be kept out of the game. It would be great to see some fresh new ones like barrel rolling off of the side of a platform to shake your pursuer. That's just my one idea, put yours down below.
-
I'm sure most, if not all, of you have seen or heard of the GRD dolls on the new multiplayer maps... The use of this topic is to discuss rumors/theories on what the heck these could be used for or why they're even in the game. I know, "It's just an easter egg " but still, there has to be some kind of purpose. Discuss at your heart's content. 3, 2, 1, GO! -- Andrew

Halo 2 was the bullet point that changed Halo competitions forever as well as the Community. If anyone remembers truly playing the game, you remember playing FFA for hours, up to 900 and you remember spending hours figuring out the super jumps and how to BXR from a fan playing perspective - it was the most interesting game - it had the best maps - it had THE BEST COMMUNITY from an MLG perspective - best playist - best maps - best button combos - true talent stood out - and much more The Halo 2 community from clans like eXiT WoundZ to KSI we all had a thriving time playing this game, why not make it online again? I guarantee that if 343i really put some time into putting Halo 2 back up and updating the dash for it, people would not only play it again, but people would bring it back to Major League Gaming. BRING BACK Halo 2!! Sign the Petition: Sheldor

I was playing HaloReach and then my Xbox live expired, so I went a couple months without playing, then when I got back on and started playing halo I down ranked and lost 1million credits! I use to be a legand and now I'm a hero but I should almost be a Mythic. I don't know what todo! I lost 1,000,000Cr and that made me rank down. Please help me!
