such a cod rip off lol and gears of war with that leap ability whcih is just like rolling

SOAD5184d ago

Well, there are certain aspects of COD which are cool. It might be a copy of their stuff but other games copy COD as well. Uncharted 2, which I love has all these abilities you can purchase as you progress in rank. I think that's taking a leaf out of COD as well.

Blaze9295184d ago

lmao what kind of list is this? Bungie reveal this? How the hell is leaping an armor ability. Sprint is just a new feature period, not an armor ability. Camo and Overshield are pickups that have been in every halo game besides ODST and Halo Wars.

That list is ridiculous.

Fanb0y5184d ago

@Blaze929

Sorry man. Sprint is an armor ability.

Aaroncls75184d ago

If they are ripping another game off that game would be Crysis.

Stealh camo, maximum strength (high jump), super speed (sprint boost), maximum armor.

captain-obvious5184d ago

sorry but
im i the only one that feels that they ripped-off the jetpacks from warhawk?

DSI5184d ago

No actually they are ripping off wolfenstein and doom, because they are using guns. Guys, please shut your whiny arses up. You sound like a bunch of little crybabies.

New policy for N4G: NO MORE B!TCHA$$NESS!

Xi5184d ago

I love the jetpack and bubble shield perks on cod4. Bit over powered though.

Shepherd 2145184d ago

Nope son. Jetpacks have been apart of the Halo universe since Halo 2 in 2004, three years before warhawk. Only now can players actually use them. Warhawk actually copied off of Battlefront and Battlefield if you want to pull stuff like that out of your ass.

captain-obvious5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

sorry
i didnt know that

edhe5184d ago

Sorry, no they didn't rip off anything EXCEPT DOOM OMG MOVING SHOOTING AND MULTIPLAYER OMG DOOM RIPOFF!

Come on folks, stop feeding the trolls, report them as spam or OT instead.

SixZeroFour5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

@Blaze929 - sorry to say, but hes pretty spot on so far with what was shown, dont know where he came up with the other unknown ones...sprint IS an armor ability

@captain-obvious - i thought elites with jetpacks have been with halo since CE, maybe im wrong? way before 2007 warhawk, if thats the one you are talking about

and now my points...i just remembered what this guy on http://resumeplay.net/2010/... was saying about only elites rolling in the multiplayer trailer, then looked closely at those icons...did anyone notice that the supposed rolling icon is a teal color while the rest are all blue...also that spartans hud is blue and elites are teal, maybe he was on to elites having a couple abilities for their own class, spartans having a couple for their own, and a couple shared amongst both species...because he also pointed out that the elites ARE way larger than the spartans as well and that would make them have a bigger area to shoot at, so they are given some incentive to choose that class

hellraiserpop5184d ago

The teal colored HUD is from the older builds. Yes, older than these blue colored pre alphas. They mentioned it in one of their weekly updates quite a while back. Essentially, most of the stuff you saw in the multiplayer trailer was probably captured even before the first ViDoc.

SixZeroFour5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

actually no...the pre alpha build hud color was yellow and they changed it already...i would think the current colors are now official and the elites hud is completely different from the spartans

health bars and color of the huds are different, go take a look at some trailer analysis' they all point to the same thing in the recent multiplayer trailer...its only now that i noticed that elites are the only ones doing the barrelrolls and have that "unknown" icon which could in fact be the barrelroll icon, to possibly combat the spartans sprint armor ability (speculation) but the fact still remains...in this alpha multiplayer trailer, the spartans hud is blue and the elites hud is teal

EDIT: btw, im pretty sure the stuff shown in the trailer was from footage taken from the alpha testers games...they are already at work trying to get all the bugs and glitches dealt with so the beta release can run as smooth as possible

remember the teabagging glitch that some of the alpha testers are complaining about

palaeomerus5184d ago

Actually Halo:CE (the original) had invisibility and overshield as pick ups.

I'd say that Sprint and leap are more of a rip off of some of the the Jedi Powers in Dark Forces 2:Jedi Knight.

They HAVE to let you create your class like CoD, cause these abilities are all genuinely awesome and useful, it would be a shame if you could only have 1 character...

SixZeroFour5184d ago

i think they are going to go with bfbc2's load out method where between deaths, youll be able to switch armor abilities if need be...cause one of the analysis trailers pointed out that the jetpack disappeared when the player died in the air

pwneddemocrat5184d ago

halo is known for it's innovations suddenly, this game doesn't look like a halo game anymore
it just looks like another fps going for what was successful in the market and not introducing something new ..
i really loved halo 3 and thought it was brilliant, but this game just doesn't look like a halo game anymore

Fanb0y5184d ago

At the moment, it seems really... gimmicky.

But who knows. Maybe the armor abilities can be seen as 'classes'. Just see them something other than perks.
No other studio is better at play-testing/balancing/impleme nting feedback than Bungie, so I'm not worried about them ruining the game.

edhe5184d ago

Gimmicky would suck if the core game wasn't solid. We all know that a halo game will be solid, and adding 'gimmicks' will make it more fun & interesting.

Just hope they're all sweetly balanced & that the beta test will show up any flaws.

DARK WITNESS5184d ago

you have got to be kidding me....

does not look like a halo game anymore..

lol, while all the other haters complain that it just looks like " another halo game " lololol

You can't win with these people...

SixZeroFour5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

@DARK WITNESS - no kidding, theyll find a way to complain about anything whether the game changed or not

camo, bubble shield have always been in halo, its just now you can choose to have it all the time...sprinting is what everyone wanted...rolling and jetpacks have been what the elites have been known for for quite some time

as for the unknown armor abilities, i have no idea how he came up with those...holograms is a big stretch, and radar cloak has been there since 2 maybe even CE, all you had to do was crouch while walking and poof, you were magically gone from the radar

so tell me...how is that going so far away from what makes halo fun?

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion505d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad506d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90506d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183506d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90505d ago (Edited 505d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde505d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90505d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde505d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator505d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13505d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183505d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken590d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar590d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos590d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP590d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken590d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149590d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE590d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341590d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90590d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos590d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90590d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai590d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
