As long as it feels the same I'll be happy, if it feels totally different then fuck 343 lol

Guess we better hope no ODSTs switch sides...then they'll be Storm Troopers :mech2:
What the.. why would they change the warthog's suspension?
Look at it this way, maybe the Warthog won't flip over every off slope.Quote:

Are you guys just now noticing the suspension on the Hog? I pointed it out forever ago. Sheesh. Just 343 fucking with things for the sake of fucking with things.

I got the limited edition, because I had money to waste and it saves time and money later on.

I almost feel like I'm watching a Chrisopher Nolan film during certain parts...
I must say, though, that I am thoroughly enjoying the music versus Marty's later stuff. Most of the music in Halo 3 and all of it in Reach felt rather bland to me.
Really? I'll grant you Halo 3 since it was mostly recycled tunes, but I really enjoyed the soundtrack of Reach. In fact, I thought it was one of the only good things about an otherwise terrible game.Quote:

Totally agree with this post. I hated Reach's gameplay/story but most of the soundtrack was fantastic (imo)Quote:

I gotta say though, "To Galaxy" was pretty sweet.
I liked "To Galaxy" and most of "Revival" and I also loved Reach's music.
I'm gonna give Halo 4 a chance. I don't have high expectations for the multiplayer at all, but I think the campaign looks a little promising.
And the environments just look beautiful.
The soundtracks of ODST and Reach were definitely my favorites because they were different and largely original. Halo 4's music sounds amazing so far. Can't wait to see what sort of effect the music has in-mission.
Don't I know it.Quote:

Reach had about 2 levels that I found to look nice, the rest of them were very bland and boring, basically lots of repeated desert levels with no variance.

Whatever happened to the bright, colorful skies and lush dynamic environments found in the other Halo levels, such as Halo 2 and 3? The only level that was shown that was "lush" was that campaign level, and that was still a very dark and ominous looking. I know it can't be said without having seen all the levels, but to me, that was one of the things that really drew me in for the previous Halo games.Quote:

Or do they simply want to reveal the sky when we play the game? :suicide:
I mean, out of all those pictures, this was my favorite that I found to look nice:
Is it just me or do those look like the "light bridge" from the legendary ending of ODST? Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong
We'll have gravity hammers, but no brutes in H4: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...postcount=4368
Maybe the "story stuffs" he is talking about means the brutes also "evolved" or mutated like those butt ugly retarted looking jackals plaguing H4 :mech2:
The other soundtracks, including Halo 3's and especially ODST, had a greater variety of colours in the music than Reach. I listened to the entire Reach OST, and all I could think about it was shades of brown. Not really unlike the a lot of the levels, actually. I also felt like the main Reach theme became overused, kind of like how the Watchtower riff in Battlestar Galactica became overplayed in Season 4's OST. Even Halo 1's theme didn't get used that often in the same game.Quote:

Reach wasn't supposed to be bright and colorful. It was the fall of the Spartans and the planet. They weren't going to have rainbows shooting out of everyone's ass. God.
Gears 3 and the Mass Effect series managed to be colourful without being rainbow-happy. Your argument is invalid.
Yup, you're right, I see plenty of color. No browns or tans. You're completely right. Oh wait.
http://geeky.ly/wp-content/uploads/2...team-photo.jpg
Don't mistake bloom for being colorful. Gears 3 was by no means colorful. It was about as dark and boring as Reach.
And Mass Effect was colorful because they wanted to be. Halo's planet Reach was not meant to be colorful. You're arguing completely different games, completely different art directions, and completely different developers.
This just in, brown and tan are not colours.

Did you even play Gears of War 3? That picture is not representative of what it actually looked like at all.Quote:

Reach was colourful in the books, btw. They basically turned it from a temperate forest world into a giant desert with pockets of vegetation.
Gears of War 3 was colorful here and there but it still pretty dull everywhere else, ust like the rest of the games.
Same with Reach, and what looks like Halo 4 so far.
To be fair, I didn't get all the way through Gears 3 because I played it at a friend's place. I just remember going "oh my gosh, colours!" when we started playing the game.
It's great that we are discussing colours, but my main point was that I thought Halo: Reach's soundtrack was dull. Maybe it was a poor analogy, but I wasn't really intending to debate the literal colour palette of the game.
That said, the point still stands: a game doesn't have to have muted colours to maintain a dark and foreboding atmosphere.
They didn't turn it into a giant desert with pockets of vegetation, more than half of the campaign took place in environments that weren't desert, two of the SP levels did center around one portion of the map that was desert, and that was it.
Gears 3 looks fine, Reach looks fine, and Halo 4 looks fine.
That is my Halo opinion of the day.

Nightfall, tip of the spear, and Pillar of Autumn were the only maps that centered around a desert environment. And Nightfall, and Tip of the Spear were the same area. Other than that, no desert.Quote:

Yeah, Gears of War 3 was a fun game and ended the triology well, but only the first couple levels (+1 in the middle) and the last level are colorful, the rest(which is alot) is the same as Gears 2 color style.Quote:

Ive played through the entire game multiple times, lone wolf is not a desert, swordbase is around the base of a glacier, like a mix of coniferous forest and tundra with the edge of a glacier here and there. Its not a desert and has a much more interesting color palate than the actual desert.Quote:

...is not a desert? Sorry kiddo, you don't get dust unless the ground wasn't held down (and it looked like this before the glassing started, mind you). The ground doesn't get held down when there is a lack of flora to do so. You don't get flora because there isn't enough precipitation to sustain it. That's the definition of a desert.
Also, you can argue whether or not its a desert all day long, it's still not a temperate forest at any point in the game despite being described as a temperate forest in every other instance before the game. It's mostly barren in any given scenario unless you want to count human dwellings as flora.
Finally, you are missing the point where I am not intending to debate the levels in Reach, I was just making a somewhat misguided analogy for the sake of describing what I thought about the music.
And for the record, I generally enjoyed Reach's campaign, and I think Halo 4's levels look nice. Sheesh.
you realise a tundra means "treeless mountain tract" right?Quote:

Also, thought I should mention that I wasn't arguing with you Warsaw, and you should also drop the attitude with regards to people who disagree with your opinions.
The definition of a desert is the lack of precipitation below a certain index, not the lack of flora. There are flora that have adapted to survive in such environments.
The attitude is the result of you consistently blundering into threads, taking a look around to see what the currently prevailing points are, and then saying the exact opposite because it amuses you to do so regardless of whether or not you can support or actually believe your stance. I said what I said because you do make comments that belie your claim of experience with the game. There are tons of opinions I disagree with on Modacity, and I don't even trouble with most of them.
You said once that the only effective weapon against the Flood in Halo 1 was the Shotgun. You were flat-out wrong.
You now say that most of the levels in the game are not deserts, and you are still wrong. Apart from Winter Contingency and Exodus, the environments in the game all display biospheres that have suffered from prolonged lack of precipitation. They are deserts. It's not an opinion on what a desert is, that's the definition of what it is. I would also say the opening section of Long Night of Solace isn't a desert, except sand and a bunch of rocks is practically the same environment. Now we just have some water to the left.
Are we talking half the game MP included or half the campaign?Quote:

It's definitely got a different tone to it. That's one of the things I liked about it. It gave the game world a more melancholy feel than any of the previous titles.Quote:

It's ok Bobblehob, Warlord doesn't like me either even though I've never even had a conversation with him. Some people are just sad and angry at the world, and have nothing better to do than take it out on people on internet forums based on posts they read over 3 years ago.
You can have the VCR, I'll stick with Scout.
Here's some non-floppy disc armour for you guys to not hate on :

I don't remember mentioning not liking anyone, what i do dislike is when people claim my disproving them equates to disliking them.
Also we have spoken the past masters, you just never realised it :tinfoil:
I'm indifferent, there is a different between not liking people and being indifferent about people, whether you see that as being sad, mad or angry is up to you as that's your interpretation.
I would note that throwing stones in a glass house is a very risky proposition though masterz, especially with your past.
Better watch out Masterz, your forum past will catch up with you, just be happy that Warlord was here to give you a warning ;DQuote:

I haven't been part of this community for nearly 3 years, people grow up.
The white spartan looks really cool, I like that other helmet too, although not so much the color scheme.

Man, the weight of that helmet must be shit on the neck
Changed my mind, I would rather have an 8-track visor.Quote:

What I don't understand is this, you have made your opinion of the design very apparent many times. You know the general direction that the design is taking in this case. Why do you continue to post angrily about it when you know it will continue to be the same. Is it not okay that 343, Hotrod, or I have different taste in design than you?Quote:

as for whether it's okay, no it's not okay that a bunch of incompetents put together by microsoft to further milk the series has turned the whole fucking thing on its head and accelerated the decline of halo's distinct design by quite a huge factor. i don't even like the idea that ms threw a team together to milk the series after bungie were done with it, let alone how they're going about that.
youve made your opinion on other people's opinions very apparent many times too. why do you continue trying to get people to stop sharing their opinions just because you disagree with them? is it not ok that they have different beliefs in what good design is?Quote:
