Halo 4 and Halo Reach

Any gamers here who play Halo 4 or Halo Reach, anyone looking forward to Halo (5) My gamertag on Xbox Live is Irish 501st , I am looking for solid gamers to play with. Add me if you like.

Any thoughts on how 343 screwed up Halo 4 or what you'd like to see in Halo (5)?

 

I don't think they screwed up Halo 4 at all. I really liked it and the new enemy too. It's certainly a lot better than the Flood. I thought the campaign was good, really liked the characters, and enjoyed the co-op missions. All in all, I thought it was a solid game that looked great. As for Halo 5? I don't want to see a single Flood but I do want more Spartan Ops.

 

I felt that the level design was a lot more repetitive than Reach, but that the story was the best in a Halo game. Loved the new enemy faction - the Prometheans, and as for Spartan Ops... the story was brilliant. Involving Halsey heavily into the games, and the clash between Palmer and Laskey on what to do was great.

However, the actual missions ranged from pretty fun to damn it, why is this map being used for a third time? 343 made it pretty clear Spartan Ops won't be making a return, however, given that they only made the first season for Halo 4 when there were plans for more.

The teaser for Halo 5 didn't give me much, and I'm really hoping we can get a Halo 2 Anniversary this year, so we'll finally have the whole original trilogy on HD consoles.

 

The only thing 343i screwed up was making Halo 4 basically require Xbox Live for any replayability, especially replacing Firefight with Spartan Ops, because the campaign and the gameplay are excellent, but that's all someone like me, who doesn't have internet on consoles, can get out of it without Live. I love the way virtually all of the weapons feel and how armor abilities were incorporated into the campaign. Halo: Reach is probably my least favorite Halo, because the gameplay just wasn't quite right with the underpowered MA37 ICWS and having to rely almost completely on the M392 DMR. Of course, the new toys like the Needle Rifle and the Plasma Launcher were great and I do like the campaign a lot. Seriously, if it wasn't for Firefight and the fact I like the campaign a lot, I wouldn't even still be playing Halo: Reach at all. Don't let my negativity fool any of you, I like Halo: Reach, it just isn't quite in the same league for me as Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo 4.

 

My only gripe is that the extra - map packs we or I have paid for are always taken away. Give us a squad DLC to play the extra map packs we buy. That and they need a big team heavies playlist. Halo Universe has all these awesome vehicles, you barely get to use and play. Why did they take away the Falcon....one of my favorite parts of Halo Reach Playlists. To my understanding they are bringing in new vehicles and more use in the new Halo coming Nov 2014
