  1. Will the weekly content of Spartan ops be free?? Don't particularly fancy being stuck playing the same mission with friends all the time because I refuse to pay for new content so soon after a games release.
    Aside from that, its looking sweet :D

  2. Halo 4 was best game at e3 by far in my opinion.nintendo did terrible wiv the wiiU, think it may be the first ninty console i dont buy,ever! Sum good lookin 3ds titles tho! Splinter cell also looks class, people need to realise hiding in shadows got boring years ago. also. 2nd best game was the new gears. multiplayer video released looks amazin! Wots everyone elses thaughts??

  3. Halo multiplayer needs a serious overhaul. I won't be buying if the following things aren't fixed:

    - Matchmaking - needs to be faster (COD leaves it in the dust).
    - We should be able to pick individual game types to play (not being able to play a certain type because you've been outvoted sucks).
    - We should be able to quite out of lobbies (and not have to wait for what feels like ages for a game to start only to quit out and have it count against you, as well as slowing the game down for everyone else whilst another host is found - fix that too).

    The campaign needs a kick up the arse, too. The new enemies looked fantastic and I'm sure a few new game elements will be introduced, but it needs to be longer than 8 hours and not so generic and unsurprising.

    I think they are free for anyone who buys the game new. It's basically like the online pass.

    By the way, was anyone else disappointed by the multiplayer announcers voice? I'm pretty sure it was different from the one in Reach.

    That is FPS's nowadays. They're all like it concentrating on the MP side of things that people play over and over again.

    I'm looking forward to Halo 4, if only to see how 343i have improved things. Bungie wasn't perfect by any means, and it'll be nice to see someone else take the rains and guide it to a new destination.

    Same here. Paying for more missions is stupid. Then again, their campaign will probably be so good you won't really need Spartan Ops.
    Halo 4 is shaping up to be the best Halo yet!! :D
