Making of Halo 4: First Look

This is one of the first look on the most anticipated game to come out this generation. Many people are going to be wondering if the Halo franchise can continue without Bungie being at the helm. 343 are going to be taking their second stab at taming the colossal beast in gaming known as Halo. 343 Industries first stab at the beast was when they did the remake for Halo CE, which was an excellent take because it helps bring back some people to the Halo franchise. Halo CE: Anniversary that they made was a great example of remaking a classic because they added HD visuals, and they allowed the user to switch back to the original visuals. Lastly, they added icing to the take by giving the users 5 Halo ce classic maps and 1 firefight map for the users that they can play on the Halo CE disk or via Halo Reach game. They added the classic multiplayer and I especially enjoyed the Halo 1 pistol, which is a tad bit overpowered, but still a treat to play with.

This video of the making of Halo 4 got me excited like spoiled child opening his Christmas presents. Firstly, I loved how they brought back the sprint feature that was in Reach I believe sprint is a crucial move to have in your first person shooters because many FPS’ include sprint I believe it really helps quicken the paces when you play on larger maps in Halo. Secondly, they brought back the Battle Rifle that has been a pivotal weapon in the Halo franchise. This weapon looks very good in the video they showed I like the new visuals they added to the gun. The graphics on the weapon look really good I like the new look it make the gun look futuristic. Lastly, I know many fans of the series are happy about the Battle Rifle being back because less face it DMR is an okay gun but I would rather be using the Battle Rifle, and I also hope they bring back the Carbine Rifle.  Thirdly, the graphics look like they have really improved and the graphics during multiplayer look fresh and clean. The textures look like they have really improved like the ground, walls, the armors, look really vibrant compared to its predecessors.

There are many things that are left to be known, but it’s great that the guys at 343 Industries left us with a little teaser before we get to see more action of the game during E3. Many fans and me included agree that they should not bring back power ups in reach like jetpack, power shield, etc. I kind of hope they bring back the power ups in Halo 3 like bubble shield, power drainer because it helps bring new elements to the game especially when you play the game on larger maps. In conclusion I am a huge Halo fan , and I just hope that this game delivers because we need Halo to be successful because the first person shooter is getting milked dry by franchises like Call of Duty and its other clones even Battlefield 3 because they do nothing innovative to the Genre. Another thing these franchises do is they don’t have a lasting appeal to me because I will play these games for months and get bored because to be honest many people are sick of the military shooter genre. We need Halo to be successful because this franchise has always innovated and many franchises are always trying to catch up to it. I think this game is going to create a huge splash in the gaming industry because we need another Halo that brings it back to its roots like in Halo CE to Halo 3.

This will be the first Halo of the new triolgy that was announced at last E3, and I am guessing the next Halo after this will come out in the next generation Xbox.
