I don't have much faith in 343, but I think what this is really going to boil down to is whoever the new enemies are going to be. Getting rid of the covenant as your enemy is going to be the biggest change from all the other games. If they can do that I'm sure everything else will fall in place. After all, it can't be much worse than H2... can it?
Don't ask me, ask the people who dismiss Halo as, "The shooter with the purple guns." Call it whatever you want, but you can't really fight the perception. Purple and pink just aren't taken seriously as colors.Originally Posted by Pooky
It seems to me that if one were designing a Halo game to be more adult than, say, Halo Reach, some of the first things to go, intuitively, would be the purple and probably the Grunts. Otherwise, you're just making another Halo game with no claim to being more or less "grown up".
By the way, it was also rumored that there wouldn't be any Covenant in this game, so that would go a long way toward reigning in the color palette and silly enemy types, if true.
Add more dismemberment from weaponry, ADS, and swear words, and it's already more mature!
As cool as ADS is, it's become so widespread in shooters that I actually WANT to play a modern shooter now that hasn't jumped on that bandwagon =.= Although to be fair, Crysis 2's implementation of ADS was unique and more fun to use.
Also, I'm not 100% sure but in the Halo books, wasn't the armor sensing system integrated so well with the hands/weapons that accurate reticules eliminated the need to ADS? In fact I believe the SPARTANs could even snipe while holding the rifle from the hips due to the smart-linked wireless scope. Correct me if I'm wrong since it's been a while since I touched anything related to Halo.

How does adding swear words increase the maturity? I've always found that swear words make something feel more childish.
you took the words from my mouth lol. Yeah I agree, I'm not saying profanity should be cut out of a script, but leave it in parts where it's perfectly understandable to yell it out (i.e. a character getting shot or hearing grieving news). When you say "fuck" in like every other line it just makes the script look lame and immature. It was the excess profanity that ruined "The Departed" and Mafia 2 for me.
What the Hell is ADS? Do you mean AIDS? Yes, Halo 4 should tackle the hivvy in order to be taken more seriously. And they should refer to it as "the hivvy". Also, Cortana should be raped.
Sorry I brought up the "M" word. Can we just use the word "serious" and spare this thread from becoming a semantics shitpit over what's mature and what's "teh kiddie"? I thought it was safe to use the word again and that the internet had moved on. My mistake.
