Eurogamers review of this game went full fucking retard. Holy shit

"Spartan Ops, another import from Modern Warfare, offers Halo 4's most ambitious post-launch framework for on-going adventure."

It is, most obviously, in the control scheme, which for the first time allows you to discard your Halo muscle memory in favour of Modern Warfare's, aiming down the iron sights with a squeeze of the left trigger.

Oh my god people are fucking retarded.

Everything is compared to fish now. With Future Black Cops 2 around the corner expect more of it.

IGN is worse at comparing EVERY SINGLE FPS to fish.

Oh my god people are fucking retarded.

go read Forbes' review of the game if you want more rage inducing reviews. I'm no Halo super fan, I like the series but i'm not hardcore about it, and even I thought the reviewer was high.

[BadKarma]

EGM gave this a 70? Hah....I bet they give CoD a 90

What the fuck did I just read? That guy obviously had no idea what the fuck he was doing...

Finally looking at all the loadout capabilities...So many choices...

I think I'm gonna start out running, DMR/Magnum/Plasma with Active Camo, Shielding, and Awareness. Mobility and Firepower look super enticing.

I'm looking at Jetpack, shielding and dexterity. Watching videos of people rockin jetpack just seems too good, it opens so many options for you.

Edit: Watching the MLG stream right now, and wow thruster can be pretty damn useful...

Online sexism in Halo 4 will earn you a lifetime ban

The Halo series has a reputation for hosting some, let's say, "spirited" language from its millions of players, as trash talk and associated slurs have become a big part of the experience.

343 Industries, however, isn't particularly fond of some of these slurs, especially ones aimed at women. From now on, dishing out the sexism will earn the aggressor a lifetime ban from Halo 4.

"I've seen many of the sites that have documented some of the more gender-specific slanderous comments," studio head Bonnie Ross told GameSpot. "This is behavior that is offensive and completely unacceptable. I'd like to think most of our Xbox Live players don't support this kind of behavior."

Executive producer Kiki Wolfkill added that giving adolescents a way to broadcast opinions anonymously can be "dangerous," and that the nasty side of the teenage mind will manifest itself in such an environment.

Apparently, Microsoft does its best to seek out and ban anybody caught sharing particularly vile slurs -- a noble goal, but potentially damning when one considers that Xbox Live is still considered a cesspit of sexist and homophobic harassment.

Still, one thing I believe worth addressing is the stereotype that it's just "adolescents" who are being jerks online. Unfortunately, there are plenty of full-grown adults who get their jollies by going into online games and being nasty, or who attempt to bully others because of perceived differences.

Let's not limit this to the idea of it being all kids. That provides an excuse behavior that plenty of adults are indulging in.

How do they enforce this? Is it like they have people listening in to voice, or is it only messages (recorded voice or text)?

[Insanecyclone]

Suppose I'll get this than blops2. Don't care that much for either but I can see myself enjoying this like I did Halo 3.

[Pooky]

Thrusters are so strong, definitely fulltiming them over jetpack. If even half of what I'm thinking of is possible, it will be totally worth the loss of options of the jetpack.

[Skai]

I don't have an Xbox 360 but I gave the soundtrack a listen and my god, it's so good.

The music of Halo has been nothing short of amazing. Marty's gone but Neil Davidge is doing a pretty kick-ass job so far. That track is frighteningly good.

since i get the game ~12 hours before most of you, as i did in AC3, I'll give preliminary thoughts on gameplay.

[Mythe_Seraph]

Don't listen to him guys. I'm gonna get this shit in the mail probably on like Friday or Saturday from NewEgg. Then I'll tell you what I think of it instead.

[Abandon]

uh... sure

[Cayos]

In case anyone didn't know, there are a ton of streams on Twitch, so go ahead and watch for yourselves.
