Re: Halo 4
 

Does anyone play the campaign? Have they finally gotten rid of the annoying helmet outline?

Re: Halo 4
 

how do you kill those annoying watchers?
i shoot at it, it runs away and the cycle just repeats till i run out of ammo

Re: Halo 4
 

Just keep hitting them. Focus on 1 at a time. The Battle Rifle, DMR work well on them.

Re: Halo 4
 

Finished up Spartan Ops over the weekend on Legendary with a buddy. Overall a good thought, but didn't really seem like it panned out like they thought it would. The "story" was difficult to really follow and the landscapes and objectives didn't really have enough variety. And I also thought it was weird they didn't have an achievement for finishing all of them, especially on Legendary.

I remember they mentioned awhile back something about season 2. Did they end up scrapping that after the excitement died down? It seems like there should have been some more DLC for the season pass so far, so that has been a little disappointing.

Re: Halo 4
 

The 3 map packs covered by the season pass have all been released. Not sure if they officially scrapped more Spartan Ops, but the chances seem slim at this point.

Re: Halo 4
 

At this point, other than the occasional software and playlist update, I would not be surprised if 343i has just moved onto Halo 5 (or whatever the next Halo release is).

Maybe... just maybe... they could not manage to fuck up a Halo game again. :shrug:

Re: Halo 4
 

Are you saying Halo 4 is fucked up? That's crazy. Halo 4 is an excellent game.

Re: Halo 4
 

He's a Call of Duty fanboy, so I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

Re: Halo 4
 

I think the single player campaign was solid, but the multiplayer was shit especially compared to Halo 2 and Halo 3 which provided some of the best multiplayer experiences ever.

Personally, I'd rather have 343i make a Halo 2: CE with the use of the matchmaking techniques Bungie setup.

How old are you? Twelve? I also enjoy the multiplayer on Battlefield and Team Fortress 2 (a game that I've invested months of playing into).

What's your next insult?

Re: Halo 4
 

Insult? I did't mean it as an insult, but obviously you took it as one. If you enjoy Call of Duty more than Halo, that's fine. But just thread crapping and saying a studio fucked up a game that was well received and a sequel to one of the most successful franchises of all time sounded pretty dumb.

I too hope for an HD remake of Halo 2. Maybe next year for the 10 year anniversary? Even better, release it for Xbox One.

Re: Halo 4
 

Halo 2 CE :rock2:

Re: Halo 4
 

Thread crapping? That's why I have 32 posts in this thread, right?

Go back and read the entire thread before you say anything else that's inane.

Re: Halo 4
 

Nah, I'm good. I've read enough in the past COD threads.

Re: Halo 4
 

Nah, they'd just rip us off again only porting 1/3rd of the maps.

Re: Halo 4
 

Actually I can think of one thing that would make Halo 5 a better game. Spartan dogs.

Re: Halo 4
 

No. Season pass, bro. Why include the Blastacular, Maptacular, Killtacular, and bonus maps pack included with the game when you can charge another $25 for them? Bring that game that should only cost $39.99 and have it cost more than full retail.

At this point, I would just take an HD remake of Lockout. :)

And I'm the troll? :lol: Have fun with your Jump to Conclusions maps.

Re: Halo 4
 

I asked this before and never got a response, but did they ever get rid of the helmet outline in the campaign?

Doesn't appear so, here's a vid to confirm.

Re: Halo 4
 

They definitely toned it down from Mantle's link.

Re: Halo 4
 

whoa, these new aliens in the game sure are tough to beat. i like to use the Army issued pulse rifle, but there is virtually no ammo for it anywhere. any tricks to beating them and the flying companions?

Re: Halo 4
 

Shoot them a lot. Pick up other weapons as needed if you run out of ammo.

Re: Halo 4
 

so, correct me if i'm wrong, but 4 is more duck and cover than any Halo before? i used to be run and gun.

i seem to get creamed in a few shots. and enemies take so many more hits then i ever remembered, so i got to shoot and then take cover. and those reviving drones are the worst. so many hits to take down. and weapon ammo is so limited. i run out on both guns and have to melee sometimes. frustrating, but still Halo and learning more.

we never saw a Didatic (thing that transformed with the armor after Infinity mission, i believe) or whatever before right?
