People use the word Amazing so, so wrongly these days. I looks pretty good, but it doesn't amaze, by any standard.

The announcer shouts 'Kill-Joy' in the Halo Multiplayer when you kill someone who has multiple kills without beeing killed, thus killing his joy.

Sorry, I didn't mean to break your spree. I mean, kill your joy. I'm just saying that people overuse the word "Amazng" these days. Perhaps it does amaze you. But according to society, almost every new thing that comes out is amazing. It's not good, it's not decent. It's not great, it's not fantastic, grand, it's not glamorous or joyous, exciting, interesting.. EVERYTHING is "Amazing".

"Hey Bob, what did you think of the movie?" "Hey Jerry! It was amazing!"
"Hey Kyle, should I buy this game?" "Totally, Robert! It's amazing!"

Is everyone really amazed that easily? Do you guys even know what amazing means? Magic tricks are meant to amaze you. Special effects were made to amaze you. Fireworks shows are made to amaze you. I really hate society for overusing the word in recent years. Whenever people tell me a game is amazing, I read it as "Yeah, it's okay". If someone were to say "It's fantastic" I would know they're actually giving me some sort of thought out truth, then a predefined answer.

Same could be said about the word "epic"
Both are horribly overused...

Epic literally means "Large", so it is a little odd. But it is nowhere near as badly overused as wrongly as Amazing. People use it to describe something in which the literal meaning makes sense. "Big success, big fail, big game, big movie" Expansive may be a more appropriate term in soem cases, but epic fits it. and it sounds pretty cool.

So why out of all the many words that also mean "large", epic is the word that's used so frequently?

Oh nevermind, we're off-topic as it is

Also, ultimate means final. So if you hear anyone advertising with "the ultimate gaming experience" they're literally saying that there will never be another gaming experience for the rest of time.

52 free Co-Op maps my ass.

I won't believe it until I see it.

If this does happen I can almost guarantee that every map will be shitty. There's no way, in my mind, that they can pump out one great, original map every week for an entire year, even if they were made beforehand they'll probably all have the same budget and time spent on them.

This is also assuming they can afford it. They most likely plan on making the money spent on maps with game sales. If Halo 4 sells like shit they might end up charging for some maps or dropping the idea completely.

On top of that, think of the hard drive space that'll eat up.

There also will be DLC Maps you have to pay for, Map Packs for the Main Multiplayer.
Obviously its something of the main package, so i'm gonna assume its on-disc dlc.
but its free, so it doesnt really matter if you ask me.

343 (The new halo dev-team) made amazing halo reach map-packs, way better than the maps by the original reach dev's, bungie.
so yeah.

This is what I'm trying to prick at, here.

It seems pointless to do things in such big bursts, it takes up way much more space for the maps and the fact that are so many will most likely cause them to be pushed out faster and degrade the overall quality. Would you rather have 5 amazing maps on your hard drive or a combo of 52 good and shitty ones?

Well I guess it depends on what kind of editor they have to make the maps. If they need to hardcode each one, than we can probably expect some sloppy, rushed, glitchy, terrible maps. BUT if they've come up with an editor that allows the programmer to arrange premade objects in a drag and drop fashion, then a week would be more than enough time to design and test a decent map.

I'm assuming that's what they're doing. coding a new level each week would be shooting themselves in the foot.

The Halo engines have always been drag-drop type things, hence why the set pieces have often been very large and alive in small dev cycles.

They'll probably be enhancing old maps too, as well as creating new ones. They've got a pretty good team, and maps will be of varying size and probably based upon areas already made within the game. lrn2gamedevelop

Also, maps only take up a few megs. Maybe more if they use new textures and what-not, but that's it, it'll never be over like... 20.



I guarantee you this game will not sell shit. I am confident in saying that..

The Covenant will return as well, though i am not sure why? Thought we had Galaxy-Peace at the end of Halo 3?
At least with the Elites? But those are returning as well?

I have no clue how the Elites fit back in? Does that mean the arbiter will be back?
Or how many years have actually passed since Halo 3?
Is it like in Aliens where the Protagonist wakes up 50 years later?
Why are there new Spartans?

So many questions.

small dev cycles

Halo 1, 2 & 3 all had a huge dev cycle.

Halo 4 was in development since 2007 by 343, then after Pandemic was closed by EA, 343 snatched all the people from there to get enough people for this huge project.

Bungie in the meantime made an Halo 3 Expansion Pack called ODST (which was delayed for a year, even though it was done) & Reach.
Reach beeing made the quickest.

Then they hired 'Saber Interactive' (TimeShift) to make Halo Anniversary, while 343 looked over the project.

The Halo 2 Ending.
Classic Cliffhanger.


But i must say, the worst cliffhanger i experienced was the in 4th Resident Evil Movie. Just when the movie was actually getting great.

Microsoft revealed Halo 4's Limited Edition today, and there's not a cat helmet to be found. Instead, the $100 package gets you a fancy box, a "UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet," and a host of in-game bonuses, expanding the multiplayer experience.

The LE includes the "War Games Map Pack," a voucher for "three future competitive multiplayer map packs, each including three locations, available for download post-launch on Xbox Live." It also includes early access to six multiplayer Specializations, which will only be released at launch in this package; they'll be "released over time" to the general audience.

Other digital bonuses include an exclusive armor and weapon skin, an in-game emblem, and an Avatar prop plus armour set. The LE also includes an "extended 90-minute movie-cut version" of the Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn live-action web video series, extra featurettes, and making-of videos.


on top of that, they detailed the co-op mode;

As the November 6 launch of Halo 4 approaches, Microsoft is doling out more information about its multiplayer modes, collectively known as "Infinity Multiplayer". The game will introduce a brand new mode called Spartan Ops, which tells the story of the UNSC Infinity, the massive ship that serves as Halo 4's multiplayer hub. Spartan Ops will serve as an episodic continuation of Halo 4's campaign, with weekly cinematic episodes that "center on the UNSC Infinity leaders and crew, and a new team of Spartans – Majestic Squad." Each episode will include new missions, allowing one to four players to "explore the corners of Requiem in these objective-based missions, and help uncover the secrets of the mysterious Forerunner world."

Well, story-based free weekly co-op DLC.  Holy shit.

52 free Co-Op maps my ass.

I won't believe it until I see it.

If this does happen I can almost guarantee that every map will be shitty. There's no way, in my mind, that they can pump out one great, original map every week for an entire year, even if they were made beforehand they'll probably all have the same budget and time spent on them.

This is also assuming they can afford it. They most likely plan on making the money spent on maps with game sales. If Halo 4 sells like shit they might end up charging for some maps or dropping the idea completely.

On top of that, think of the hard drive space that'll eat up.

Well, in the end it turned out to be "just" 3 months of content x_x

Dunno why it affected me as much as it did. Rarely happens. It's even sadder in the german dub, as his voice slightly tears up...
