    True, the spawns are terrible, mainly because the map design is awful and they have fricking insta-spawning. However, I do not agree with the power weapons complaint. Power weapons have been a huge part of Halo's combat. As a matter of fact, there isn't enough of a focus on power weapons. This was caused by the custom classes rendering weapons on the map all but moot.

    Halo 4 was a big let down and i think it will have lost more fans than gained. I was a ps fan then bought my first xbox after playing halo 1 on a mates just for halo 2 and bought the 360 mainly for halo games but will not be going out of my way for 5.
    Like your idea for the start of reach and agree with your comments on cats death but you cant have a reach 2 the planet is destroyed at the end. The whole point of reach is to tell the story of how master chiefs team of spartans died and the planet was lost. You cant meet master chief because hes not on reach hes away making halo 1. They should make a new odst game this could be set anywhere in the halo universe and could give you your modern military shooter. This is what i want
    I agree whole-heartily. Halo 4 spurned alot of the old fans of the actual gameplay. The question now is if those fans will be smart and not buy the next one, or buy it out of some misguided sense of loyalty, much like the Resident Evil fans continue to do. As for Reach 2, it doesn't have to be called that; It could have just continued the tradition of using named titles as the spin-off games, much like Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST. And Reach was merely glassed, not outright blown up. They could (technically) have a game take place on it now. Also, Reach didn't tell you anything about Chief's team. Chief's team actually wasn't even mentioned in the game, even though they were on the planet. Reach was about a new, previously unmentioned team. Hell, aside from Jorge, Noble Team wasn't even S-II's. They were S-III's wearing modified and prototype variants of MJOLNIR Mark-V armor.

    I will not hold my breath. I really liked halo. When it started it was great, The commercials became epic the instant they hit. Bungie was rocking it all the right way with just a few glitches here and there. Then 343 took over, Halo 4 the AI is not as smart just more accurate. Play REACH or any other Halo title, Then play 4. The difference will become apparent.

    Also, WTF is up with the gas cans on the WARTHOGS.... Honestly if I remember my lore right fossil fuels were practically used up. If I remember correctly they used some kind of hydrogen injected something or other as a source. So in my mind you can make **** look pretty but its still (S)(H)(I)(T).

    Halo is ok for story line only everything else is just crap.

    MP is garbage after reach

    The only good thing that Halo 4 was good for was the Spartin op's The Weekly Story.
    Everything else was meh. The main story was Meh.
    In total Halo 4 is Meh. But if they do make a Halo 5 i will buy it only for the story.

    No that is the female CEO of 343 not reading or understanding the lore before she makes a booboo. Does she like the franchise or anything about it? Immerse yourself in the subject matter before you start making mistakes. That will start making fans mad. So I can forgive the cans they look cool and all but, What ticks me and just bangs my buttons is this... HALO 4 banshee once in motion it stays in motion. SINCE WHEN... So now were applying Newtons law of motion to HALO. Better make the ghost move forward too. No hovering for you. Of all the ********, 343 you (c)(o)(c)(k) swaddlers should have your toes bitten off by jaws from the old BOND movies....

    No, I hated Halo 4's story. The acting was good, but the subject material blew. I mean, the whole Librarian scene where she basically tells Master Chief that the reason he was chosen for the Spartan program was because of her modifications to the human genome thousands of years prior sucked. It took Master Chief and made him some Neo "Chosen One" crap. Master Chief was always a super-soldier, but he was one because his own will let him survive the augmentations.

    That's why I said the story was ok. Not great, not mind blowing, just ok. Not completely crap but then again not eye popping awsome either.

    Yeah the librarian scene was just lol? wut? Well it just remains to be seen how the story goes in the next one when they make one.

    Not for me. I've head cannoned that the Didact was killed, Cortana was lost, and Chief is now training the new S-IV's back on Reach. That's the end. Everything 343 releases from here on out is considered non-canon in my head.

    343... SIGH... I miss the good old halo, The books as they hit the shelves. I loved all the good stuff they did as it went on. Something tells me that Cortana will not be long gone. Since she is not a conventional AI. I sense that there will be some kind of bringing her back or into a physical form. I feel they might even turn it into a romance, I do not dwell on it to much. I will check out the material as it comes but it will go on a separate shelf away from the good stuff.
