Halo 4

[Jocky Balboa]

So, I'm planning on grabbing it sometime soon, being a fan since I first played Xbox in early 2003.

 

Anyone played it yet (no spoilers on story, please!) and what do they think? Should it have ended as a Trilogy, or is there life in the franchise yet?

Getting this from my girlfriends mum for Christmas, can't wait! Love Halo.

 

If they'd stopped at 3 then we'd never have got Reach Jocky.

Played the lot apart fae Wars, Reach was utterly immense, but my favourite one is ODST, the story, script, and the voice acting in that one is spot on, with the action second only to #3.

I've played it. It is fucking brilliant.

 

Highly reccommend it.

gypsymuffin, you got an xbox 360?

[gypsymuffin]

Yes

Got it for ma xmas, had a play through last night. Fucking immense, could be up there with Reach as being one of the best ones.

I got it, played the first mission and really hated it. I do appreciate why people think it's a great game but it's just not really my thing. I'm not really sure why I got it because I had Halo 3 and didn't like that either. Was just giving it a second chance I suppose. Anyone know the place which gives the best value for trade ins?

Wait till you get further intae the game, the forerunner troops gie ye a decent fight and their frearms are magic to shoot.

If you're dead set on selling it on, if gamestation's still open at the haudagain, you should get a decent price for it

My Fiance bought me it for Yule. Just completed the Campaign. Very good game. Not quite as good as Halo 1 or Reach, but better than Halo 2 and on-par with 3.

 

My only gripe is that it is a little "safe" insofar as it sticks to the formula a little too much, although I suspect that is because it's the start of a new trilogy, with new development team. If so, I expect Halo 5 will push the envelope more.

Haven't finished it yet but the best bit of it so far for me has to be when you finally get your hands on a Pelican dropship, closely followed by blasting hapless covenant with the Light Rifle fae miles oot. The shotgun is still shite though. However nae Flood any mair, thank fuck.

Superb game, had it for ma speccy. That talk of them making a new one, could be good for a fart around.

 

Finally finished H4 on new year's day, without spoiling it for abidy, what an ending, fair didnae see that coming at all. I'm gonna fire it up a couple more times on Normal on Skulls to work out the ins and outs of the new stuff, especially the weapons and the new grenades, before the push at Heroic mode. To hell with Legendary, I actually like to play fun games, extra hard mode's effing impossible. Anyway, anyone played the Spartan Ops bit on Halo 4, haven't got round to installing it yet, is it any good and fit's it all aboot?
