"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

I still think the weapons sound good, just saying.

But yeah, the music sounds pretty damn amazing if you ask me, Neil is definitely living up the Marty's music from the first trilogy.

If there's anything I was excited for with this game, it was the story.

And holy shit, I am excited for the story. The emotion in the music is heart-wrenching as always, and I don't even know what scenes it'll pertain to yet. And it sounds Halo, it has a unique flair to it.

The dude yelling at the Master Chief. HOLY SHIT. I really do think this is going to be cool. Multiplayer might be interesting, but I'm really looking forward to what 343 does with the story.

Fake Edit: I realize now, that I love Halo 4 so much more when there isn't some half-wit from 343i talking over the top of it.

Well, now we know why the weapons sounds like shit. They actually went and recorded live weapons and modified them. Live weapons should only be used as a basis for understanding why they sound as they do >_<. Why do they think hollywood hollywoods up guns in movies?

Not really true. The weapons in the Battlefield series are recorded from real ones and then modified, and Battlefield is pretty much the golden standard for in-game audio, especially guns.

No, I think it really just boils down to their modifications being in arguably bad taste.

The music is pretty nifty. I can hear a twinge of the Reach theme, but used in a more refined way. Personally, I think this will be the next best Halo soundtrack after Halo 1 and ODST.

As for the story, it will be interesting within the game, but for me it's ultimately ruined because it runs with that crap Whatshisface has been writing.

Well I've never personally like any Halo story (HERESY!!), so this should still be great for me.
Pre-ordered today.

That might be the only reason why I'll cringe at the story, given it deviates too far from the Terminals we saw in Halo 3. If it stays connected to those Terminals, I'll be okay with whatever wacky shit they put in there since the Terminals are one of the last pieces of legitimate canon before the bad novels started being written. If there's some Glasslands references, I'd be alright with those too.

I feel like that music isn't what Halo is. There's something about it that doesn't feel right. Halo 1 through Reach all had more depth to the orchestral sound. It's still a bit early to be judging the music, but my first impression is that it's not what people will be hoping for. It feels like too much of a departure from Marty and Michael's stuff.

[Sanctus]

I'm gonna try to keep an open mind for the story. I'm not really excited for multiplayer. It just seems like it'll be worse than Reaches since they're throwing MORE perks. The music though I like so far, and the gun sounds. Except fir the scatter shot. That's just blegh

I think you should hold a more open mind towards Multiplayer then. It takes a lot from modern FPS games, but I have faith that 343i will make it into something nice. On aesthetic assets they lack a bit of direction (skin designs = wtf), but gameplay is looking very intriguing, complex, and solid. I just have a feeling that this game will end up being a lot better than many of the Halo fans think it will be.

Nobody gonna mention chief getting in the Mech?
Okay then
Oh, and;
