Only 6 hrs to beat a game. I may be done buying games on release date if the campaign is so short.

No man knows the hour of his ending, nor can he choose the place or the manner of his going. To each it is given to die proudly, to die well, and this is, indeed, the final measure of the man.

They were using Armor that wasn't supposed to come along later on in parts of the game that took place in the past? |

I've been playing mostly multiplayer, haven't beat campaign yet. It's entertaining, but there are a lot of things that just piss me off.
Similar to reach, almost all the maps suck, where are the small good maps like lockout, guardian, the pit, construct? The killfeed looks like shit, there's always like 50 things coming up at once, and all the medals look the same. I've had times where I've gotten like 3 different medals for a kill and cant even tell the difference between any of them. They got rid of the big red X where a teammate died, one of the most useful things in multi. The BR recoil...the fuck is this shit? The guy can throw a fucking tank but can't control the recoil of a rifle? I'm one of the few people that actually liked having a respawn time and not a killcam, because it gave you a few seconds to watch what the enemy is doing/going. I'm not really a fan of the new weapon spawn system. It takes out the whole learning how to control the map and use teamwork part of the game (which was basically the entire fucking game). I don't really have a problem with the AA's, but I feel like promethean vision is OP and the jetpack just shouldn't be there. Same with the ordinance drops I'm fine with them, but hearing that dude say "running riot" is a better reward than anything they could give me. Probably most importantly, why is there no actual skill rank? IMO, the system in H3 was pretty near perfection. I want something to actually work towards and encourage me to get better at the game. Something to determine how good a player is, not just how long they've been playing. Like I said, the game is pretty decent and entertaining, but IMO, if they want to make a truly good multiplayer experience they need to completely scrap anything associated with Reach, fire anyone who liked that game, and start as if it was the next game after Halo 3. |

They were using Armor that wasn't supposed to come along later on in parts of the game that took place in the past? Yeah. 343i got lazy or ran out of time with the flashback scenes of the intro cinematic. They showed all the Spartans using the Cortana modified Mark 6 since the early days of the war, and the Elites were shown using the stripped down Storm armor when they should've been in the classic full armor. Chief's armor is completely unique in Halo 4. Cortana upgraded the armor using nanites during the years were drifting. A regular Mark 6 armor can be unlocked for multiplayer after beating the game on Legendary, so it still exists. The only disappointing thing about Halo 4 is we didn't get to see Blue Team. Hopefully in one of the next two games. |

I've played the ever loving shit out of every Halo but CE, and have found that none of them are particularly amazing multiplayer wise. All of them offer a low level of customizability weapon wise, and now with halo 4, armor wise. Reach, as well as Halo 4 are good fun in my opinion, but without an attractive reason to keep playing, it will get old fast.
Also, Spartan Ops gives you 4 times more experience than a multiplayer match, and you can complete SO missions on heroic while sleeping. |

Honestly to me its a distraction to make the masses happy. Good multiplayer is a dun, repeatable experience of well balanced weapons and maps. Halo is the ultimate "party game" Halo 2 and 3 with friends was the most fun I've ever had online. All the jetpacks and special abilities and air dropped weapons that are there to please the COD crowd take away from what halo multiplayer really is all about. Soon every single game will be exactly the same thing, but with another skin |

Out of curiosity, does anybody have a code for the Gamestop Forest armor skin? I'm willing to trade my web armor skin for it.

It reminds me of old counter strike where the frames per second was so slow that you lose your mind(I did at least) I prefer something slightly slower than COD and in my opinion the fluidity of reach/4 is perfect. Sprint/assassinations we are what make the game fun for me, spraying until shield drop gets old. Halo is a fun party game but it doesn't apply to all situations |

Halo doesn't need stupid gimmicks, there's a reason why Halo 3 is over 5 years old and as of last month was still on the top 20 most populated games on live. They're trying to expand their fan base, but they're going to end up picking up a bunch of cod 12 year olds, and losing the guys who have been hard core fans since the beginning. ETA: imo, sprint ruins the pace of halo, I don't like it one bit (assassinations are neat though), and if you're "spraying till shield drop" then you're doing something wrong. |

There's like 5 maps in 4v4 and only 2 of them are any good. I just don't understand why they couldn't integrate a numbered rank along with the XP system. They did it in H3 and it worked out fine. |

not going to lie....I didn't read the link.
But I personally want a system like Halo 2's. Where if you lost, it would negativetly effect your rank. losses took more xp away then wins earned, and the higher your level the bigger the gap between win/loss xp. And the levels of your opponents also determined how much xp you gained. I loved the system and it was HARD to rank up. |

I deserve some XP for putting up with teammates that plasma sticky their own vehicles and whine in chat about vehicles ruining Halo, while a enemy ghost, warthog and mantis rip us a new one. Or the shit heads that keep jumping in front of friendly vehicles to get run over like it's some Halo insurance scam. |

I agree with Grim, Halo is supposed to be about teamwork, so if you lose, you shouldn't get anything rank wise. I personally liked Halo 3's, which combined both a rank and XP. And either way if you're in a competitive game at any decent skill level, you usually wont have people like that, or vehicles for that matter. |

I just beat from 4-the end on solo legendary... yeah some parts were pretty rough. Took me more than 6 hours I'll tell you that much Played co op for the first 3 so I still have to finish up those solo but they didn't seem too hard. |

Last I read those two books take place BEFORE any of the current Halo Cannon. Click To View Spoiler There's two ongoing book trilogies. The Forerunner Saga: Halo: Crytum, Primordium, and soon to be released Silentium. Then there's the Kilo Five Trilogy, which continues the story from Ghosts of Onyx and introduces new characters. The books are Halo: Glasslands, and The Thursday War. The Onyx shield world was not only locked in slipspace but also suspended from time. Halsey, Mendez, Blue Team, and the S3s spent a few days trapped in there. They met some original Forerunner built Engineers who helped them contact the UNSC and pull the shield world back into normal space. When they returned to normal space, the realized a few months had passed in normal space. When they returned, the Covenant war was over. UNSC was rebuilding, and Covenant was destroyed. The Elites were rebuilding too fast under the Arbiter's leadership so ONI decides to start a civil war on Sanghelios. UNSC Fleet officially backs the Arbiter because of the truce they made in Halo 3. ONI believes the Arbiter will rebuild Sanghelios too quickly, so they start supplying weapons to a religious fanatic splinter group that still believes the false religion created by the Prophets. This group eventually becomes "The Storm" Covenant that's in Halo 4. They still believe Forerunners are gods, and they sought the Didact because of his hatred for humanity. Back in UNSC world, Halsey had been declared dead during the invasion of Reach. When she returned from Onyx, Admiral Parangosky, head of ONI, had her arrested. Apparently, Halsey never informed ONI that she was going to flash clone the Spartan II candidates and leave the soon-to-be-dead clones with the parents. Essentially, Halsey is made out to be a 26th Century Dr. Mengele. UNSC still needed Spartans, so they started the Spartan IV project some time around the end of the Covenant war. In order to not repeat the atrocities of the S-II and S-III programs, they went back to a volunteer system like Project Orion. The S-IVs are not perfect genetic candidates, which is why they're smaller than Master Chief, but they'll do. The advances in the augmentation process also allow for a 100% success rate on adult augmentations. There were so many Spartans, that they were split off into their own branch of the UNSC. Blue Team and the surviving S-IIIs from Onyx were given the option to join the new Spartan branch, but its not yet known if they did. As for the four years later thing, it is what it is. Chief spent 4 years drifting in space while Cortana slowly went crazy. |

The Forerunner Saga: Halo: Crytum, Primordium, and soon to be released Silentium. Then there's the Kilo Five Trilogy, which continues the story from Ghosts of Onyx and introduces new characters. The books are Halo: Glasslands, and The Thursday War. The Onyx shield world was not only locked in slipspace but also suspended from time. Halsey, Mendez, Blue Team, and the S3s spent a few days trapped in there.

I just feel like the novels should supplement the game not the other way around. I shouldn't have to constantly google shit to know what's going on. I didn't even know there was a new trilogy of books until I started not knowing what the hell was happening, I did read the first 4 though. |

Anyone that will give you a sidearm is an ally. Anyone that wants to disarm you is not your friend.

So now that I finally finished the campaign, I have to admit. I'm a little bit disappointed.
Also, I really have no clue what happened. Who the hell the didach was. To me though it just seemed like it was a repeat of previous games. I wont say how so I dont spoil anything. Click To View Spoiler As in they go out to some alien world, follow them back to earth and save the day. Just the enemy had a different name. I am a huge Halo fanboy, but I didn't really like the story at all. I read the first 3-4 books too.

It will all make sense about who the Didact is and what he was doing. (Or, at least you'll understand the Didact/Librarian story link ) The novels are so poorly written they are like the Star Wars novels. They might be fun, but they shouldn't be gospel.

Some love the story and get frustrated when MC forgets how to dual wield or his armor magically changes. The gamer side doesn't care, but hates any kind of change. It's the best and worst of both worlds. EDIT: Spart Ops 2 is coming soon, but you can still unlock the raider armor if you want it. Just complete spartan ops and input the codes from waypoint under the classified section. The easiest way is finish Spartan Ops and then go to youtube for the codes. |

If you need help I can run you through them. They take 10-15 minutes a pop right now on legendary. After that, try the input. Some folks have gotten a bug on the armor input. You can always delete waypoint and reload/rebuild.

The novels are a main part of canon. It's been that way since The Fall of Reach was released before Halo: CE over 10 years ago. The story in the games works on their own without the books, but reading the books gives you a complete story. The problem is when you forget to read a book or two, and then a new game seemingly contradicts something. Or when Bungie decided to say "Fuck It" and invalidate some chapters of TFoR in order to make Halo: Reach. Just take a look at Halsey for an example. Those people who have only played the games will recognize her from Halo: Reach. They'll just assume that Halsey got off Reach, and ONI is questioning her at the start of Halo 4. The fans who read all the books will know that she escaped Reach, got stuck in the Onyx shield world, and finally was arrested by ONI, but if you missed the two latest books, you're gonna be lost. 343i is so far doing a better job at the expanded universe thing than Bungie. 343i is directly overseeing and concurrently making games and the books. |

Halo multiplayer and I never really meshed well in the past, but this seems to be cut from a different cloth. I do well, but not great. |

“Halo 4” Makes Entertainment History with More Than $220 Million in Global Sales in the First 24 Hours
Yup…it’s big. How big? The “Halo” saga eclipses the biggest movie launch in U.S. box office history; on track to reach over $300 million in global sales in the first week. Full details just went out in the press release: In a year when Hollywood is rolling out its biggest blockbusters, one video game has eclipsed them all. “Halo 4” is on track to reach $300 million in global sales in the first week, making it the biggest “Halo” launch in history and the biggest entertainment launch of the year to date. In the first 24 hours of its release, “Halo 4” garnered more than $220 million worldwide, eclipsing the record for the biggest day-one opening in U.S. box office history, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” and the biggest movie of 2012, “The Avengers” – based on U.S. sales alone. The launch of “Halo 4” propelled lifetime sales for the “Halo” franchise beyond $3.38 billion, cementing its status as one of the most popular entertainment franchises in the world. “Halo 4” also shattered the record for the largest number of players in the history of the “Halo” franchise, with over 4 million players in the first five days. Users spent a total of 31.4 million hours playing “Halo 4,” pushing the total number of gameplay hours across the “Halo” franchise well beyond the five billion mark. “We’re thrilled that ‘Halo 4’ has emerged as the biggest U.S. entertainment launch of the year,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios. “Thanks to the millions of fans worldwide who helped make this another record-breaking launch for the ‘Halo’ franchise, ‘Halo 4’ is kicking off a strong holiday season and has become the must-have blockbuster experience of the year.” “Consumer demand and excitement for ‘Halo 4’ is even greater than we anticipated,” said Tony Bartel, GameStop president. “Day-one sales of ‘Halo 4’ make it the biggest ‘Halo’ launch in GameStop history and the biggest game launch on any platform so far this year in our stores.” As further testament to the unprecedented excitement surrounding the launch of “Halo 4,” Microsoft announced that online content for the live-action digital series, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” has generated more than 46 million total views to date, including 39 million on Machinima.com’s YouTube channel alone. Hailed by NBC News as “breathtaking, heart-breaking and awe-inspiring,”1 “Halo 4” has garnered universal acclaim as one of the top-rated video games of 2012,2 and sparked a worldwide celebration when it released on Nov. 6. More than 10,000 retail stores in more than 40 countries worldwide, including Seattle, Paris, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai and Sydney, opened their doors at midnight to commemorate the highly anticipated return of the Master Chief. In London, a massive 50-foot illuminated glyph symbolizing the new threat in “Halo 4” flew over the River Thames, marking one of the largest objects ever to be flown by helicopter as a lighting art performance. Additionally, for one day only, Microsoft transformed the European country of Liechtenstein into a replica of the “Halo” universe, signifying the first time a brand has taken over an entire country for an entertainment launch. Developed by Microsoft studio 343 Industries exclusively for the Xbox 360, “Halo 4” is the next blockbuster installment of the iconic franchise that has shaped entertainment history and defined a generation of gamers. “Halo 4” continues the story of the series’ iconic hero the Master Chief as he returns to confront his destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. The game takes the series in a bold new direction by delivering its most epic and explorative campaign yet, alongside an emotionally resonant story and a groundbreaking multiplayer offering unlike anything before it – setting the stage for an epic new sci-fi saga. The standard edition of “Halo 4” will be available for $59.99 (U.S. ERP 3), and the Limited Edition, which includes an extended 90-minute version of the live-action digital series “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” and additional bonus content, will be available for $99.99 (U.S. ERP). Fans can also pick up the Xbox 360 Limited Edition “Halo 4” Console Bundle for $399.99 (U.S. ERP) and a standalone Xbox 360 Limited Edition “Halo 4” Wireless Controller for $59.99 (U.S. ERP). In addition, players can purchase the “Halo 4” War Games Map Pass for $24.99 USD (2,000 Microsoft Points), which provides access to three upcoming War Games map packs as they become available in December, February and April, and represents a savings of more than 15 percent versus purchasing the packs individually. 4 ###### 1 Source: NBC News: “Halo 4” makes the Halo series even more epic 2 As of Nov. 1, 2012.

I have had friends unlock without "reclaimer Bravo" terminal. I know this because I went back and did it and they did not. As stated, there is a bug for some people. Spartan Ops + code. Terminals will unlock Wiseguy. EDIT: easiest way is to do all the Chapter 1 ops missions in one day. It seems to reset for some people. My loadouts reset every other deployment so you have to deal with the bugs for now. |

The Thursday War was just horrid; nothing worth a damn happens before the last 50 pages. I understand it's about milking the franchise for all they can, but ffs a trilogy of books that can be condensed into 1 good book is just annoying as hell.
And people bitch about Atlas Shrugged needing an editor. |

Hey 343,
Master Chief should not fucking rattle with every fucking movement. Matter of fact, he should not fucking rattle AT ALL. Love, A HALO fan who wants to kick your sound design department in the balls. |
