Halo 4 E3

Randomization by weapon class i think they meant. So a Power weapon will always spawn in the middle of the map every round. Needle rifles (or whatever they are calling it now) replace all BR's for one round, that kind of thing.

There is probably going to be a 'classic' playlist if not an entire section that everyone will play if the new system sucks.

xD

A little late to the party on that one

The other additions are fine. The game needs to evolve and become something else with each new installation. If it didn't we would all be complaining that we are paying for the same game over and over.

Most of these are changes aimed at the core gameplay. I'm not necessarily expressing dislike for them but either way they are deliberately imitant of CoD. I'm all for the addition of new features and twists to keep the series fresh, but it seems these changes are meant not to improve the game so much as to make it more competitive with the next cod.

Everyone's calm, as far as I know. I don't even have formed feelings toward the game as of yet other than intrigue and concern. As for judging, nobody is judging the whole final product of the game or its quality. We are judging the material that has been released by the developers for the sake of being judged and enjoyed by its fanbase. This section is for the discussion of this material, voicing our opinions on it, and speculating.

More than anything else I just hope the new trilogy is well written.

I have lots of hope in terms of the writing. The plot line with Cortana could end up being one of the best written in the series.

Both: A weapon unlock system seems to determine what is available for a starting loadout, and weapons are available on the map.

I don't think you actually unlock weapons as the game progresses. You all start on a level playing field and can toy with the tools at your disposal. If I'm wrong, then source?
