New Halo 4 multiplayer details

Hi there,

I found this info about the new Halo 4 multiplayer details and i thought i'll share it with you guys if you wanted to see it. The new multiplayer option "Forerunner Vision" looks like it could be fun but i think no more respawn delay might seriously wind up people after a bit.

I agree with you there, i wasn't fond of them in Halo Reach either. I prefere Halo 3 were everyone was just the same, but from a developers point of view, they had to try and make it different to the previous games.

I've seen the scans, the game looks ridiculously beautiful from a technical and artistical point of view. A change of developer is exactly what this series needs, with new ideas and new approaches.

prefer 3 to reach mp, its a shame you can't play 3 anymore unless you have all the dlc

Some things seem good like no respawn time, no elites and joining mid game, but random weapon drops, herp derp armour again and xray vision? No thanks.

I was hoping 343 would gut most of it, start from a solid halo 2/3 core and work up. I did not expect them to keep the stupid armour abilities that ruined halo in there.

Agree with all except bold.

I like soundd of most of it but why take out Elites dont see any reason too personally. I didnt mindthe armor abilities it was something different Reach imo had the best multiplayer Halo 3 MP was terrible in comparison

I'm very impatient, and when I die I'm usually not happy so I want to jump straight back in, and not sit there waiting for no reason.

Sounds like they have really dumbed the game down...

To be honest I don't even care about the content, I just love the nostalgia of playing one of my all time favourite games (CE!) again!

There is no real penalty for dying then, turning online into another cod run around and rambofest.

There is a penalty for dying. You lose any weapons you acquired, your map position and you lose points. An artificial delay to start playing a game is not a deterrent, it's an old mechanic that is well past due for replacement, which was only used due to tiny multiplayer levels requiring such a system to stop bad spawns.

Respawn times have a place in attack/defend gametypes. RTCW/ET (which have yet to be bettered!) wouldn't have worked without respawn times. Otherwise I agree, and not just about Halo. Multiplayer fps have become so horribly bloated in recent years. Everything needs to be stripped back to a minimum so we can concentrate on gameplay and skill again.

I should have specified TDM/FFA game types.

Nice to see if relating back to more of the storyline from the novel glasslands
