Halo 4 - Page 3

dReWpY · 11-10-2012, 04:33 AM

halo was the first game i got involved in, multi player in the dorms was prolly why i did njot have a 4.0, that and cheerleaders, they get you every time. i love the story and it was almost like a movie that took years to be told, I made it a point to nerd out and pre order and wait inline just for the hell of it when it released, was always something to look forward to. havent finished 4 yet i think i am getting close, im flying a pelican through what should be the fucking death star lol

I've never played any of the Halo games, but it has always looked interesting.
I do have a friend's Xbox on extended loan. If I were to try out Halo, where should I begin?

I did not pre order the game, but i was at my friends house the night it was released. We player about 2 hours of multiplayer and 3 of campaign. Like many have said, the game looks fan-fucking-tastic. The guns sound louder and more realistic. Some of the forerunner guns are super cheap, and even the needler is over the top. Definitely look for some of those guns to be Nerf'd. Campaign seems thrilling 3 hours in...

But i dont plan on buying it as i have gone to the dark side and bought myself a gaming desktop. Running dual quad-core processors and dual graphics cards (ones a gts8800, not sure the other). Really enjoying the Steam games i bought last year at the Christmas sale that my old lappy couldn't run. Just installed Windows 8 a couple nights back....

I just beat the campaign. I loved it. Graphics are amazing, storyline is incredible, and gameplay fucking rocks. You really do have to be more tactical on this one- "run 'n' gun" just won't work.

To be fair, I love this franchise. With the glaring exception of ODST, I think all the games are worthwhile (Reach included). This is actually the only game I've ever pre-ordered.

If you need a copy of the games, I think I have the first one for 360... I did an impulse buy and ordered another XBox. We don't live that far from you now, so you're free to come borrow it.

Edit: Borrow the game, I mean, since you have an XBox on loan.

I liked ODST. The atmosphere qnd being weaker.

Sixxxxer · 11-10-2012, 01:51 PM

Been hesitant on it as well...Was HUGE Into Halo,2 and Sadly 3 though i was dissapointed in 3 just like everyone else.

never played Reach and ODST but I will most likely eventually buy Halo 4.

I've heard mixed reviews but most have been that i should buy it.

I heard that 4 is better than 3 or reach, and almost as good as 2. Like I said though, i traded my 360 on a WiiU preorder. I'm a sucker for new tech. Even if its old tech packaged as new tech.

One of my video cards (Dual HD 6990's) has more power and ram than a 360, PS3, Wii, and WiiU combined. The best thing about the next gen coming will be seeing my comp do what it was built for. Though i'll probably sell this and build something bigger by then, with the 7xx and HD 8xxx series of card coming, and the expected 8 core, 5ghz Intel Processors in march, as the current 8 cores are underwhelming at best,. and barely outperform my i7 960.

I think that's the problem for a lot of people, though.
Laptops and my linux machine (Zotac ZBox) aside, I've built all my own PC's. Most people can't be bothered to do that so they're stuck with a budget off-the-shelf PC that plays like ass, the sticker shock of a pre-built gaming machine, or the nice, friendly, affordable console.
Makes the choice pretty simple for them.

Personally, I like being able to type in my cheat codes on a real keyboard
