I was just thinking that, none of the maps look like they're as big as Forge World-- which isn't surprising really, for a lot of reasons. Erosion kinda reminds me of that Halo 2 map, though obviously brighter, and I think on it's own it looks the best out of the three. It'll be interesting to see what people come up with down around that green water.

I just don't think they trust people to make BTB maps. That's probably one of the biggest map making challenges.

I'll bet they already have a BTB CTF variant on Ravine where the flag is in the forerunner structure, with vehicle ramps or catapults on either side for entry and the capture team spawns against the opposite cliffs. The flag will be close to the middle of the upper structure, and if you manage to grab it, there will be another catapult in the center that will launch you across the canyon and back towards your base for capture.

I think the whole Forge aspect was outsourced to Certain Affinity who made some of the later Reach maps.

I spoke with Iscariote aka Chemmy aka Puglife aka Jewmanji aka Golf GTi aka moved to California to join a homosexual bathhouse. He won't play Halo 4 because of no dedicated servers. RIP Iscariote

According to a leak, Halo 4 will be on two disks with the second disk being for multiplayer installation. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/12/halo-4-leak-being-investigated-disc-2-contains-multiplayer-inst/?a_dgi=aolshare_twitter I'm cool with two disks. Its more room for good content.

I'm somewhat ambivalent towards the 3 forge maps, none of them are setting my imagination afire the way forgeworld did.

I think they said multiplayer would be a mandatory install, meaning a second disc. And with all the Spartan Ops stuff, map packs, screenshots, film clips, and whatever else the disc space requirement is going to get huge.

Going dark until november 6th would be a good idea I think. Since the game is in the wild and poo poo is starting to leak onto youtube according to that GAF thread.

Someone should tell that to all the folks bothering to make a story out of Halo then. They could go play badminton or something.

Well the story in the games is pretty lightweight action filler and the novels are just awful. I like Halo games for the aesthetics and level design. People are free to enjoy the story of course, but it's still not a focus in any of the games.

Multiplayer has always been the focus. I'm pretty sure most Halo fans don't even touch the single player, and the few that do only do it for the achievements.

That's just as wrong as saying the focus of Call of Duty is multiplayer. It might not be for you, but millions of people play the campaign.

Yeah, I've always liked the campaigns. The first one especially, but they're all pretty good. I definitely spend more time in multiplayer, but I'll be buying this game for the new story direction just as much as for the MP.

Some Call of Duty single player completion percentages: World at War: 31.55% Modern Warfare 2: 59.1% Black Ops: 18.6% Battlefield 3: 17% It's based on Raptr, but it's a representative percentage. Dice has even confirmed that their focus is on multiplayer. It's shocking the first time you hear it, but people really just do not play the single player in these games. http://www.gamezone.com/products/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/news/only-18-6-of-players-have-completed-cod-black-ops-single-player-campaign

They are created because that is what is expected whether they get played or not. No ones going to put down $60 without at least some single player content thrown in. Plus when your single game makes almost as much money as the rest of the game industry does combined, you can afford to cater to a small group of people for your multi-billion dollar a year franchise.

Uh... Black Ops quote:Stand Down Modern Warfare 3 quote:Who Dares Wins I don't even think Raptr is that great of a source, but over 50% of people are completing these campaigns. That's probably more than the amount of people who finish any average videogame. And because this is a Halo thread: Reach quote:The Soldier We Needed You To Be

I love how people who say things like "nobody plays [game] for [x]" really mean "I don't play [game] for [x]" but are still somehow self-absorbed enough to think they're right even in the face of people telling them they're wrong as hell. Also, since the first game didn't even have XBL support, do you honestly think multiplayer has "always been the focus?" "We totally put a focus on multiplayer by allowing you to play a four-way-splitscreen slide show in the era of small standard def TVs, or have two to sixteen xboxes, TVs, and copies of our game all in the same place at once. That multi-hour campaign, with huge, open levels, and (at the time) groundbreaking enemy AI? Meh, an afterthought."

I've played and enjoyed every Halo campaign. I've played (and haven't always enjoyed) every Call of Duty campaign. I enjoy all aspects of games I play, but the focus in shooters (not all, but most) in recent years has been on multiplayer. Even if half of people beat the campaign, that's half that didn't touch it or didn't like it enough to finish. Post-release, how many single-player expansion packs come out for modern shooters? None. How many multiplayer? 2-4 generally. The money maker in Halo and CoD is multiplayer and has been since online gaming took off on consoles.

Even if only half of the people that bought the game played it for the campaign or at least played the game through to completion, those people make the statement "most halo fans don't touch single player and the few that do only play it for the achievements" completely incorrect. I'm not seeing how this is hard to comprehend. Also, considering Spartan Ops is supposed to be just the first season of a ten week long version of firefight with a story arc and has been referred to as a second campaign, I'm guessing that there's quite a few people that enjoy the single player/co-op campaign aspects of Halo. Either way, the point is to suggest that people stop trying to act as though the the poo poo they care about is the poo poo everyone cares about.

I never suggested that people only "play it for the achievements". I said multiplayer is what the developers focus on. Not sure why it's so hard to comprehend. Also, is Spartan Ops playable solo? Awesome.
