I'm gonna play the Campaign first before playing online. And if I miss out on any of the Spartan Ops episodes as a result, I'm gonna rage so fucking much I'll probably make the Sun explode a billion years early. |

So you got the limited edition Halo 4 console? I thought you hated the look of it when I first posted it. I think my opinions qualify as spoilers, so I'm gonna tag the whole thing. Spoiler: click to toggle So far, the Campaign is terrible. Meaning that this is yet another fucking FPS that focuses solely on the Multiplayer experience. Whoopdefuckingdoo. |

Well, that's a definite no buy then. Screw Halo, it has absolutely no merit for all it's worth. |

It's not the prettiest console, but my old 360 is showing its age, and pre-ordering this one helped me upgrade easily because I started paying it off back in July. Looking at it now, it's better than what the images show. |

God dammit, now I'm sad that I didn't crumble to temptation and buy it when it went "online purchase only" on EB Games' website. Anyway, finished the campaign. Easy 5 hour completion on Normal; too fucking short. More spoilers below. Spoiler: click to toggle As a non-story spoiler: As opposed to universal Credits in Reach, the only way to earn EXP and level up is online. I got nothing for playing Campaign. And you also can't fully customise your Emblem from the get go, either. Everything but the "Recruit" emblem is locked until you reach level five, at least. Seriously. Every aspect of player customisation is locked away to new players. Weapon loadouts, armour configurations, etc. EVERYTHING. And there's no crossed swords emblem, either, which pisses me off to no end. Edited by Luffy Foxtrot, Nov 6 2012, 09:05 PM.

Yea, but they're still locked until you reach the required Specalisation level. Which is stupid. Either way, I have half of my usual emblem layout from redeeming my Limited Edition/pre-order codes. Using the Prime emblem on the Power (single triangle) background. And Spartan Ops is kinda cool, but I hate how the screen fades to black as soon as your reach the evac zone. I WANNA SIT IN THE PELICAN FIRST DAMMIT. And it's probably because my 360 managed to revert back to Strict NAT, but competitive play has a bit of lag, which results in the kill cam view from people who kill me showing them killing me, despite not actually aiming and shooting at my body. I still don't like how everything is locked. Reach was tolerable, because you still had a fair level of customisation, even when you had to rank up to earn the cooler looking armour upgrades. Halo 4 just seals everything away and the loadout customisation is worse, because you also have to spend "Spartan Points" to use them and you only get one point for each time you rank up.

There are way too many exclusive armour thingiesthat you could only get by pr-ordering at different areas fuck you Microsoft. And now I'm even more upset that I didn't get the console because that FOTUS helmet looks fucking cool as shit ;~; Fuck exclusive content. Fuck it all to hell. |

Eh, the FOTUS helmet looks hideous in my opinion. Me and a bunch of other Gaylo players call it the unicorn helmet. I personally don't have the camo skins myself.

I love the FOTUS and all of it's Unicorn glory. And Luffy, the novels are suppose to tie in to why the Covenant switch sides in the midst of the four year space between the games. Aside from that, the Spartan Ops explains a little bit, but reading the novels does explain it quite a bit. I kinda hate that for people that don't read the novels, as these two were not my favorites by any means, but it's filler material I guess. I hate how the chronological order of things isn't really explained in this one, the first cut scene seems to take place years before the four year spread of unknown shit while the middle and Spartan Ops section of the story seems to take place in the supposed weeks/days on Requiem. |

That is fucking bullshit. What is it with Microsoft and this insistence on reading the stupid books to understand the story properly? The Covenant betrayal is practically a major plot point and should've been properly explained in-game, instead of handwaved to fucking retarded levels of stupidity. |

I agree, but that also may be explored more in-depth in the next two games ya' know? It's not like 343/Microsoft to give us all the eggs in the proverbial basket in one go. Besides, I want to know exactly why in the hell they did with the legendary ending what they did... |
