I don't know guys, from what I can see, and that isn't much, I think I'm going to give it a chance. Not only is continuation of a series something I love no matter what game it is, but this does seem like it could be quite interesting if the story isn't shit. Beside I'm kinda glad we get new Spartans and from what I read in Game Informer, the Spartan IVs are actually on a ship or something that explains their "multiplayer" aspect of the game and it meets up with Cheif somewhere in the game. It also gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we can get out of the glitchfest that is Reach now. Oh, and there won't be any Elites in Multiplayer at my time of posting. And I wasn't a HUGE fan of firefight like you Arem, although it does suck to lose such a cool game mode in the new one, ya know? |

It's less of a glitchfest and more of a lagfest. Firefight had it the worst, but then it crept into competitive multiplayer.

I'm glad to see there's actually someone besides me who was ever interested in the franchise because of the potential lore and backstory it has. |

See, that's the only reason why I would pick up Halo again. To play the campaign. See, I played all the campaigns through and through like a crackwhore. I'm just not sure about whether I trust 343 enough to do a good job at it. |

...I thought that was why this series got popular in the first place. The amazing universe (and soundtracks). |

Aside from the FPSfags, yes, that's precisely the reason xD |

I actually had a really good weekend in Halo Reach this past weekend, playing with my friend. We were, admittedly, just playing to finish the daily and weekly challenges, but multiplayer was more fun than it's felt in a good long while. |

In all honesty, I had a lot more fun with Halo 3 than I ever did with Reach. If it wasn't necessary to buy a Live subscription, then we'd be totally all over that. |

The ability to enjoy the game itself isn't as great after a while because when people first get the game they all play together. That's how it was with the last few Halo games from what I remember, people were playing a lot (whether it was matchmaking or custom games). I'll pick up the 4th if I like what I see by that time of the year though. |

Yeah, I remember this; the first time I ever played Halo 3 was with all the guys and everyone was into it and stuff. When it finally became a regular thing with me, no one was interested anymore and we could barely get a game or set anything up anymore because people had lost interest completely. |

343 Industries is officially calling teabagging the "victory crouch." But they've also employed instant respawning in some game modes so that other players can avoid being teabagged post-death. Kevin Franklin and David Ellis more or less claim that teabagging is an integral part of online FPS games. Of course, their main reason for implementing instant respawning in said modes is so that they can have as many people alive in the arena as possible.

Spartan Ops will have episodic DLC, but will be broken up into seasons, like the Arena in Reach. What separates it from Reach's mode, is that the Spartan Ops DLC actually revolves around co-op missions, with stories of their own. The mention that it will be season based implies that you'll only be able to access each piece of DLC within the game for a limited time. Which sounds fucking stupid, really. Also, new usable weapons and vehicles and drop-in/out play in multiplayer matches. |
