are you dumb. seriously it is still like a halo, the perk, if noticable at all, hardly effect the game. and the hardlight shield isnt even good. learn to throw a nade under it. Another thing in the campaign, if you havent had a little background to the books, the enemies are forerunners an ancient race that created the halo rings, also the promethian knights are humans that the forerunners took, while the humans were running away from the flood a thousands years ago, the forerunners took them and made them into a security system. ps that is why they were blue. then the didact took over, he tried to before but the other forerunners stopped him. Also the reason mc talked a lot i n this campaign is because his only person he has ever really been friendly with is cortana and she was dying. Ordinance drops require you to be good with the br or dmr so just get better. Also "the boss" as you put it died by master chief putting a pulse grenade in him, go replay the mission, and maybe he didnt even die. this may make you happy by me saying that they are adding halo 3's ranking system into the game. Also the reason why mc can live huge falls is by putting himself in armor lock, he does it in the beginning of halo 3's campaign.

Campaign
Where to begin? The campaign has more holes than Swiss cheese. Master chief has more dialogue than any other Halo game... combined. This ruins the mysterious and dark aspect of his entire persona. The whole campaign lasts like 5 hours, and hardly makes any sense. it's just one plot twist after another. Oh, and I know MC is invincible and all... but how many times does he crash a damn plane and get up without a scratch? Not to mention the ending ::spoiler alert:: How he self detonates a nuclear bomb and survives like it was nothing... Who designed the campaign? A team of space monkeys? The enemies make no sense of who they are or where they came from, especially the boss. And speaking of the boss, how does he even die? Cortana jumps on him and electrocutes him to death? Probably the worst and short-lived campaign I've ever played of any game.

As if 343 didn't screw up the game enough already...
The MP isn't even Halo anymore, it's just CoD with Halo textures. There are now "perks"??? HAHAHA this is just pathetic. it takes the entire "Halo" aspect of the game and throws it out of the window. Now the game isn't played fairly, it's played for whoever has a better perk setup. You can now make you shield regenerate quicker, and can spawn a shield in front of you in the middle of combat? The game is literally made for defensive gameplay. If someone shooting at you, all you have to do it SPRINT behind a wall. Or you could just spawn a SHIELD directly in front of you as you're being shot. Or wait! You could use a SPEED BOOST to burst away from combat, like a true brave soldier! 343 is feeding off of CoD to make their game. The vehicles are incredibly overpowered. Weapons are scarce to find on the map, now that there is an "ordnance drop". Speaking of those drops, WHY?!?! Just why?! Such a stupid thing to add. But again, 343 is just trying to copy off of CoDs killstreaks. The game has been out for over a week and yet there hasn't been one patch... It's nearly impossible to find a game that doesn't lag and restart. I'm starting to think they are running their servers off of computers from the 90's. Oh and the ranking system??? What a joke! The ranking system was designed for 5 year old babies. Nevermind, 343 just copied off of CoDs ranking system. But what's the difference? Get XP, rank up. Rinse and repeat. No skill involved.

I'm all for a game changing for the better, and think it's good when a game adds new and better stuff. But 343 didn't change the game to different, they changed it to be the SAME!! The same as EVERY OTHER FPS! Halo was the one FPS that was different. It was actually fair to all players. Halo series is absolute trash now.

With all this being said, i'm still finding ways to have fun on the MP. With all the terrible, game-ruining things, there are still ways to enjoy the gameplay. Teaming up with friends is always fun in any game, and when you do good, you have fun.

I can't be the only one who thinks this game is too different to even be considered a Halo game. Anyone else agree or have any other opinions?

ONE: Maybe if you would pay attention and stop b****ing about how HALO IS LIKE CODZZOMG!!1! you would realize that Cortana and Chief were teleported away from the nuclear explosion and saved him! How the hell could anyone, even a SPARTAN, survive a nuke? Really? Maybe in CoD 4.

TWO: 343 industries designed it...and did a d*mn good job

THREE: They are FORERUNNERS, you know because they're inside the FORERUNNER planet Requiem, where I would assume FORERUNNERS are, since it's a FORERUNNER planet. DURR...

FOUR: Again, if you payed attention to the campaign, you would see that YOU, the Master Chief, ran up to him and planted a grenade into him after Cortana was put into the Composers system and traps his arms and legs. then he explodes and falls off of the Composer into deep space. He isn't dead, smart one!

FIVE: I don't see how they take out the Halo aspect. First you complain about how much change the game has...then later in this you complain about how it's the same game! You have no logic!

SIX: THE HARDLIGHT SHIELD IS TERRIBLE. You can't even shoot, and your shields don't even come back until about 10 seconds have passed since you used it.

SEVEN: Running away or using a shied is WAY easier said than done. What good does it do to run into a corner with your health running low? They will just go around the corner and kill you there! It isn't like CoD where you can run into the corner and wait, spray your bullets, then kill the guy.

EIGHT: Vehicles aren't overpowered. A plasma pistol and a couple grenades can do the trick.

NINE: Ordinance drops are a great addition to the game. You can't find anything on the map because they replace it! Duh!

TEN: Fix your connection! Just because YOUR connection sucks, doesn't mean it's the servers fault. Everyone has no problems with connection except you. coincidence?

ELEVEN: Get XP. Rank up. Repeat. kinda sounds like call of duty, doesn't it? CoD's ranking system has been the same throughout almost all of the series!! Halo has tried to change theirs so much! I've liked the ranking systems ever since Halo 2.

BOLDED PART: Halo is NOTHING like any other FPS out there! Don't EVER say it's like CoD, because it is FAR FROM IT. Halo is the epitome of Xbox games. It's the best FPS, and not to mention...it's XBOX EXCLUSIVE. CoD can't define Xbox because it's on every other console! Just be happy you have it to play! If you don't like it, don't buy it! Buy a PS3 and Black Ops: II. And don't post about how bad the game is in a forum where everyone likes the game!



I rest my case.

If you even listened to the dialog, you would know that 1. The Didact didn't die, and 2.Cortana teleports Chief so that the nuke doesn't hurt him.
Also, you can't use the speed boost on demand, you either have it, or don't. And, you can't shoot while using the shield, so it is worthless.

Oh yeah there's f****** teleports too haha god this game sucks

You again?? Why are you still in these forums? You're like 6 years old and love CoD! Shouldn't you be in a CoD forum?

Nin wrote agreed.
I miss the random weapon placement or spawn and you would go there and pick it up.
now we just use load outs not pick up weapons but use ordinance drops which means no small maps.
I like the armour ability and everything new but it doesn't feel like the old Halo games, I am still going to support it through out the years thou.

I am not getting black ops either because its zombie is not as good, and the multiplayer is not as good as cod 4.

This generation is going to have bad games.
I miss the old days and old generation of games

Oh please get over the 4 year old game and go try something new with an open mind. People act like Call of Duty 4 was some legend, when it sucked worse most other games combined. Look at now, it has been hacked to all hell. Please don't be one of those nostalgic dimwits who act like COD 4 was the best game that ever existed, it is not.

On Topic: It was a pretty big let down to me now that I think of it. Reach was by far much much worse though. The ranking mechanics took me a month to figure out in that game. Halo 4 still has time though, and I expect patches to be released sometime in the near future.

100% agree. If people would stop thinking, "OMG! This is so much like COD, there r CLASSES!!!", they would realize it's almost nothing like it. It's a great game.

Not that bad have to account for the fact that 343 runs the game and the game will probably come into a different view after playing it for a little bit.

Call of Duty fan boy

Clearly you played the campaign with your music headphones on. You never heard any of the dialog or saw the cutscenes did you with all your "hardcore Dubstep" over it did you?

Halo has een apart of my life since I was 5.. They ruined it. **** 343. Microsoft did it so much better!!!
I mean wtf!?! Its halo! Not COD? I am actually pretty sad and dissapointed 343 went this way and took Bungies spot. The game is too easy. Already level 60. I mean yea using ur BR takes skill but kids across the map shooting a dmr and killin u in 4 seconds is retarted. No skill involved. well i might go to gamestop and ge blackops.
Thanks 343 for ruining my childhood and pastime
