Halo 4 Game Modes and Maps


What is this picture above me? Its a look at the new halo 4 hunger games map. (i borrowed this picture) but this seems like a legit looking map. Excited to play it sometime soon, possibly tonight. Alot of new maps have been created on Forge and people can make a many cool maps to play on. Another thing, 1 flag ctf has come back and people are super excited to play it again. I guess we will see what happens tonight at the LAN.

So other than this map or gameplay, I have watched some of Rooster Teeth's videos on youtube of halo 4 game night and some the game modes on there are very interesting. Like for example you have a speed run course where its a king of a hill gamemode, but the hill moves in a straight line across an obstacle course and i guess if you're not in the area of the hill then you stop moving. I found it very interesting as you have to be careful that you don't make a serious mistake and fall behind everyone.

Another gamemode I saw was called, "Ma4co." I believe that was the name but basically in this one you had marco polo as everyone else is a invisible zombie as the hiders. You can't kill marco, but the real objective of this game is to be the last one standing to win. It all took place on a large platform flat and you just had to hide from marco longer than anyone else in the game.

Halo 4 seems to be bringing in more cool game maps and modes. Makes it more of an interesting game than anything. Halo gamers continue to game!

Halo 5?!

So I saw the Halo 5 trailer and it seems it will be a good game in my opinion. Some of you don't like how the story is going but I do. We just have to along with the facts:
-Master Chief just lost Cortana, who he has been with him for years.
-You don't want to do the same plot over and over again. Difference is good.
-You can still have the UNSC vs the Covenant
-Let's see how Master Chief takes things without Cortana 
-The Flood are gone 
-Don't want the FR (ForeRunners, sorry of miss spelled) to do more destruction 

I am going to give 343 a chance to do the Halo story, since they only have done one game so far. It would be hard for anyone to take over the Halo story. There will always be people who hate the storyline and there will be no way for everyone to love a game. It could be possible for them to make another Halo game just about the Covenant wars. I know people liked the UNSC vs Covenant story line, but to twist things is always interesting to see.

So from what I have heard, halo 4 has tuned a lot of their weapons. I think it will really change the games on online gameplay and make it much more difficult for everyone. When i mean everyone, i mean everyone. From what I have read here are some of the updates.

BATTLE RIFE
  • The Battle Rifle damage has been increased. The Battle Rifle is now capable of killing in four bursts.
  • The Battle Rifle rate of fire has been slightly decreased.
  • The Battle Rifle red reticle range (range at which auto-aim benefits kick in) has been decreased.
  • Two bursts from a Battle Rifle followed by a melee will now kill an opponent (2-shot melee).
CARBINE
  • The Carbine damage has been increased. The Carbine is now capable of killing in seven rounds.
  • The Carbine accuracy has been increased (projectile spread decrease).
  • The Carbine red reticle range has been decreased.
LIGHTRIFLE
  • The LightRifle zoomed rate of fire has been increased.
  • The LightRifle un-zoomed rate of fire has been slightly decreased.
  • The LightRifle red reticle range has been increased to match the updated DMR range.
DMR
  • The DMR red reticle range has been slightly decreased.
ASSAULT RIFLE
  • The Assault Rifle damage has been slightly increased. The Assault Rifle now kills in three less rounds.
  • The Assault Rifle auto-aim angle has been reduced.
  • The Assault Rifle projectile spread has been decreased.
STORM RIFLE
  • The Storm Rifle damage has been increased. The Storm Rifle now kills in three less rounds.
