Examiner writes: Fans of Halo 4 may be excited to know that Frank O'Connor, 343 Industries representative, revealed earlier today that the upcoming Halo 4 will include a map remake from an earlier title. This information has been provided through the official Twitter account of Frank O'Connor, as he reveals the information shown below:
Halo 4 only includes one map remake. I know what it is. It is good. It will cause the least drama of any new thing. It is NOT small.
Gathering of information revealed by this tweet, it is inferred that this map will be one of the larger maps of the Halo franchise. O'Connor states “I know what it is. It is good.” Since this information has been released, no further input has been given about what specific map it may be. Fans can assume that this will be a fan favorite from the past Halo title, but it should be interesting to see exactly which one it is.
In addition to this information, we have also stumbled across a complete collection of all the Halo 4 helmet...
In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.
In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.
This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.
The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.
Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.
The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.
It’s a law of nature that eventually, every long-running game franchise will have a particular entry that gets dinged for straying too far from what made it so fun in the first place. Your Super Mario Sunshine, your Dragon Age II, Assassin’s Creed III, and so on. Whether or not that opinion changes more favorably over time, the initial specter of negativity will forever hover it. Microsoft’s Halo is no exception, except that negative specter hasn’t hovered over one particular game, but one whole studio.
Halo 4 released 10 years ago today, and its disappointing reception was just an omen of things to come with 343 Industries at the helm.
Halo 4 and infinite have a 87 on metacritic and five a 84🤣. 343i need contents and everything else will play it self out.
Halo 4-6 are like the Star Wars sequel trilogy
They all just seem like a brand new games with small connections to the last one but no solid arc connecting them, you’re just told stuff that happened off screen in between the games and nothing makes sense
It’s like they didn’t plan a new trilogy out
I'm getting a good gaming laptop soon and i'm finally going to play through the Halo franchise again plus Infinite but i never played Halo 4 before .. can anyone tell me how's the campaign in comparison to the games before it and compared to Halo 5 ?
Really hoping for sand-trap
Really hoping its not the map this guy wants..Im not to psyched for the maps theyve shown for halo 4. I think the armors cool in all maybe some are way overkilled .. I'm rather focused on the campaign .But anyway I know this isnt bungie its 343..but lets be honest halo design has sucked pretty hard since halo 3 on into reach. 343 dear buddy ole pals... look at halo 2 for your sources of inspiration in terms of maps..i think everyone can agree on what excellent design bungie did for the entire games dlc/ulc . all except backwash.
Yesss backwash was str8 buttcheeks and so was waterworks. Halo 2= best collection of mp maps
My bet is on Valhalla. There has been plenty of Halo 1 and 2 remakes already, so a Halo 3 remake is a safe assumption.
Blood gulch or Valhalla. Im guessing that because of RVB.
