Can We Just Agree

That 343i WANTS Halo 4 to be successful and WANTS to maintain the community of fans the Halo series has earned, AND Halo 4 has the POTENTIAL to be a great game deserving of the name Halo? Nearly every article here has people bitching about facets of Halo 4, and I'm getting annoyed reading them. The purpose of this thread is NOT to say "hey, everyone shut the fuck up and stop bitching;" the purpose is to ask everyone to just please agree that, while everyone is COMPLETELY entitled to their opinions about something that means a lot to them, the bottom line is, that until 11/6, we simply won't know how the game will be. We can speculate as much as we want, but can we just agree that the game still has the potential to be the best game anyone ever thought to begin a new trilogy? Rant over.

I am of the opinion people have been pretty good with their opinions in this forum. Occasionally it turns a little too negative but on the whole it's okay.

I want peoples' opinions expressed even if I don't agree with them.

Of course opinions should be stated as such and not fact or motherhood statements.

Anyhow I am going to lock this as it might blow up and I am going out for a few hours.

Lou, I've been exactly where you are in this post a few times on other sites. Each time I was blown out of the water by people/mods/admins saying we are allowed to express our opinions and are encouraged to do so. I guess I learned that your kind of post can lead to problems and you'll get little support.

Yeah, people are bitching a bit. My opinion is that is has been relatively light and I hope I can keep bad posts under control.

There are no developers looking at this site for input. So I think honest opinions are more likely to occur here than say on HBO or NeoGAF where some members routinely say very unflattering comments about existing and soon to be released game just to get attention.

Halo 4 will prove itself or not and someone will be able to say, I told you so.

I'm locking this post because it can encourage unwanted behavior.

Sincere apologies Lou. As a moderator I was being overly cautious when I locked your post. I should be more knowledgeable about the TOS.

You have not broken any rules and your OP stands.smiley

As someone who has completely signed off on the Halo series, I must say for some reason Halo 4 has me excited.  I'm not nearly as doom N gloom as most even though it has been in my nature to be.  It's no secret I thought Reach was a flat game, but I'm more then willing to give 343 a shot.  So I'm ready for a new Halo and ready for something different in the universe.  I welcome the change and hope they truely think outside of the box with Halo 4.

Most the people I talk to are very excited about Halo4. I also work with alot of kids who are really hyped on Halo4 over Blop2.

What's Halo 4?

 

J/K.  I'm looking forward this title as well.  I have not been following the updates at all so I have no clue what the changes are / will be.  Doesn't matter, I know I'm picking it up regardless.

My excitement for Halo 4 has pretty much cooled seeing how it's been so long since we've had a good look at the game. In fact, it's kind of been boring since E3 when we finally got to see the game in action. These other events - RTX and SDCC have been kind of stingy with the new news. Yes, the reveal of Forge is a big deal, but we really didn't get to see much of it either (plus I'm not a forger).

I expect my excitement will increase when 343 finally decides to start talking about the game again, but right now I'm kind of "meh".

I agree 343 wants and needs a succesful game.  If we are lucky they will see what worked and what didnt from the other games.  I also Hope Halo 4 is not a testing ground for "new" ideas that they want to use in future games  much like Halo 3 and Reach were for Bungie

I may be one of the few people who does not read or listen to much before a game comes out. It's kind of like going to a movie. I don't want to know too much before I go and watch it. In gaming, I just get a vibe off of people and if the vibe seems good and my friends are picking it up, I get the game.  Yes I will be getting H4.

Same here.  I don't keep up with any games hype anymore.

This is the reason why I've been avoiding all the hype/hate for Halo 4.  I'll watch the occasional vid on Waypoint (like the latest UNSC weapons vid) but I've been trying to remove myself entirely from it until it is release.  I want to see for myself what it is like and how good or bad it is.   Why bitch about a game we can't even play yet?!

I thought that was a pre req for being an adult gamer :)

 

I agree completely though,  I see no real reason to worry too much about the jet pack.  I say that in the hopes 343i will have enough common sense to have a playlist that leaves it out and I know I will be playing a lot of custom games.  Plus the jetpack in Halo 4 could be VERY different from the jet pack of Reach and not so "Map Breaky" 

 

we are 3 months out......

I agree with "map breaky". Looking forward to Halo 4 with cautious optimism.

I'm just saying everything since Pong has been pretty cool, except for Mortal Kombat 2, while that is a movie and not a game, I was still really really really disappointed that I sat through that in the theater...
