Maybe they will make the difficulty actually challenging instead of cheap.

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"][QUOTE="rjdofu"] Except Halo was never about SP. razgriz_101

Yeah, Halo 1 had that m- OH WAIT YOU'RE AN IDIOT!

back in the day we had that thing called LAN, somethign you young'uns never experienced.

LAN was the best way to play Halo, all you needed was a few friends, tvs and a decent size room and it was easy with a bit of basic networking knowledge, 4tv's = insta 16 player games.

Yeah, the fun of playing MP with friends on LAN is unmatchable. You can actually see people faces. And it's socializing.

I always found Heroic to be a good challenge. Legendary is kinda cheap and the Elites are the only real threat, but it can also be a challenge.

COD on Veteran though is way more challenging, you die in like one shot.

Neck and neck with a console being replaced next year, and overrun by a console being replaced in a couple months. The PS3 was a disgustingly massive failure for Sony. They lost almost 70% of their userbase, lost billions of dollars and are hurting even more thanks to their mismanagement of the Vita (seriously, no killer app for Xmas 2012?). The fact you choose to remain blind to Sony's failings this generation, just goes to show just how lucky Sony is to have such loyal fanboys give them free advertising and PR. What Sony needs to do is establish a proper brand for themselves, rather than just nipping at Nintendo's heels. And "in development" in 2010 doesn't mean it will see production. A lot has changed in Sony's camp in those two years. And not for the better. And Sony make the most powerful system? :lol: Not with their shareholders consent at least.

[QUOTE="rilpas"]

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

I have a 360 and some games for it. I don't have XBL for it and I play mostly on PS3 because it is the better system. I usually just rent the Halo games or borrow them from friends for their campaigns, which this gen have been mediocre. I was hoping 343 might do a better a job.

And how was I sh!tting on Halo 4? I said I hope it was fake.

ShadowMoses900

you hope what is fake exactly?

did you even read the op?

I hope the campaign is longer than 20 minutes. 8 missions is not very long, unless it's like Halo CE mission length, and even that game had more than 8 missions. That's because back then Bungie cared about Halo, this gen they just tossed the SP out the window, it was basically just tacked on.

I hope Halo 4 isn't like ODST length. If it is then don't buy it, it won't justify a full price.

20 minutes? :lol: I think you meant 20 missions.

And yeah, I hope it's fake. It's not worth buying Halo 4 if it comes with short campaign, I'm a single player guy. Damn, the Xbox 360 is garbage. Think about it. All of its exclusives are strong in multiplayer and nothing on the campaign... There's no way in hell I'm dishing out £40 just to 'unlock' the multiplayer portion of them! That makes the X360 such a laughable system.

You buy Halo for SP? Really?rjdofu

I do. I played dozens of hours of Reach and never even touched the MP. Halo games have always been SP games to me, never liked the MP.

why do you think the game will be short?

Halo: CE only had 10 missions, not a massive difference is it?

Exactly, 360 does not have the variety or quality like PS3 exclusives do, it doesn't have the graphics either. PS3 has both good SP and MP games, you have good SP ones like UC and MGS4, and you have MP ones like Killzone and LBP.

Halo 4 is skippable, the PS3 has way better games coming out this year like LBP Karting and PS All Stars Battle Royale. Plus Black Ops 2 and Far Cry 3 look way better than Halo 4, in both SP and MP.

Halo 4 is not worth getting compared to those 2 games, espeically if it's campaign is gonna suck again.

See thats not really challenging, its cheap. Reach felt like just going from checkpoint to checkpoint, and the last part was just memorizing the order to shoot.

What would make it challenging is for either new enemies specifically for the harder difficulty or giving old enemies new abilities and not just increasing their health & damage.

That doesn't mean anything. Halo 3's campaign was 9 chapters and still ended up being a solid 8 - 12 hours long on Heroic.

I doubt the people complaining about the 8 missions were getting the game anyways.

The campaign will be lengthy and entertaining; but like others I'm picking it up for the multiplayer.

I'm picking it up primarily for the SP, as always.

I love the MP, obviously, but the campaigns have always been the main draw for me since Combat Evolved.

Another dumb thread by a huge fanboy who, frankly cant even spell. Where are you getting this 20 minutes per mission from? The other Halo games (3 and Reach for example) both had 8-9 missions, but they were both around 10 hours long, or around an hour or so per mission. So again, where exactly is this number coming from, or the the 160min (yes I know you multiplied 20 by 8). Frankly, dont be an idiot, and a fanboy. Get an Xbox (and a PS3 and even a Wii), that way you wont hate on systems just because you dont have them. On another note, quite excited about the Halo 4 campaign, not so much about the MP mode though (hated Reach's MP, and this one does not seem to be too great either from the videos that I have seen, guess I'll have to try it for myself before I pass a final judgment). And the cows and lemmings that were arguing with each other (especially that idiot GamerzwillPS), both of the consoles are coming near the end of the generation, and as such, both are lacking in exclusives this year. The X360 has Halo (and maybe Forza?) and the PS3 has had a few games come out already (like Starhawk, which imo is under rated, great concept, fun game, especially if your team coordinates) and a few more on the way. But frankly, both consoles have a very small amount of wortwhile exclusives this year. As for awards, they dont matter. Its just some video game reviewer's opinion, nothing more. And frankly, I put way more stock in my own educated opinion, than some random reviewer on the net.

Agreed, it's a case of who's the tallest midget in the room, which is quite frankly, very sad.

And GamerWillz and ShadowMooses are like two peas in a pod; they each complement the other's stupidity.

GamerWillz and his obsession with storage media and ShadowMooses's extensive research into buyers remorse.

If previous Halo games are to go by the missions will be longer than 20 minutes since there are many checkpoints due to different sections of the missions.

Oh, compared to ShadowMoses, Gamerz is very tame, more like a regular guy than a huge fanboy. Honestly, Shadow posts some of the dumbest things on these boards. I dont know if he is just stupid, desperate, trolling, or cheap. I mean clearly, he rags on the other 3 systems because he does not have them, either because he cant afford them (easy solution, get a job) or his parents wont buy it for him. Frankly, both sides have some bad fanboys, but as of now, the cows are the worst thanks to dumb posters such as Shadow, ispeakfact, and etc (although that lemming loosingends is as bad as one of them, if not worse, at least they can spell, Lossingends cant even make logically constructed arguments, nor can he write a proper sentence, not being a grammar whore or anything, but there is a certain standard...)

Legendary just ramps up all the modifiers to a basically-cheap level. I tried Reach on Legendary, and the second mission was good and challenging... but the third was just joke. I might try again after I move and finish ODST, but it is ridiculous in terms of how powerful the Covenant are. Heroic is a challenge that makes me feel like a SPARTAN. Legendary is a grind that makes me feel like a Private in the UNSC.

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]Its never been cheap (other than cortana in Halo 3) You must suck.Zeviander
Legendary just ramps up all the modifiers to a basically-cheap level. I tried Reach on Legendary, and the second mission was good and challenging... but the third was just joke. I might try again after I move and finish ODST, but it is ridiculous in terms of how powerful the Covenant are. Heroic is a challenge that makes me feel like a SPARTAN. Legendary is a grind that makes me feel like a Private in the UNSC.

reach was easy on legendary, the finallevels were a bit challenging because of thelack of ammo

I highly doubt the campaign will be that short.

No sane person would think it's that short.
