Achievements list was recently leaked. Majority are the generic beat a level or standard stuff found in every game but several are spoilers.
Apparently the Lone Wolf achievement is worth less in Halo 4 than in Reach which might be a possible indicator of how tough or not Halo 4 will be compared to past games. SPOILER: show http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...list-revealed/ |

According to 343 Studios, concerns about the game being short isn't an issue since while the game has fewer missions than previous Halo games, they are a lot longer.
To put it in perspective, Spartan Ops mode alone is longer than Halo ODST was. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...n-halo-3-odst/ |

I don't think how long a Halo campaign is would be a concern to Halo players. Campaign is a very secondary thing with this series.

I'm sure they still care, though.
Campaign has always come first for me in Halo. |

Also Kalyx, I hope you are playing the campaign for the transformers games, despite your aversion to single-player. I just finished War For Cybertron, and it was one of the most epic, enjoyable experiences I've had this generation.

I loved WfC's single player, it was a fanboy's fucking dream. I here FoC is even more epic, so as a fan of the franchise I will check it out.
I'm kinda bummed we couldn't enjoy WfC together, with coop out of FoC. |

From what I've read though, lack of co-op in FoC is because of more individuality between the playable transformers.
My one big complaint about WfC was that the characters didn't really play all that differently from one another, outside of comparing flying alts with ground. So that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. |

OH MY GOD!
Previous videos haven't really make me want to play Halo if i'm honest, like I thought they were cool, but it didn't make me want to jump on Halo straight away. This however... FLAGSASSINATION! |

Should be cool, assuming you still have a speed debuff while holding the flag.

New Ball Mechanics:
Oddball/Griffball: Ball can be passed (just like grenades). Good throws and catches gives you extra points (credits not gametype points). This changes these modes a lot. New ball assassination, a nice uppercut. Griffball: Sword kills will strip the ball from the holder, essentially a steal. Griffball: No more explosions, Griffball is its own mode now, not an Assault gametype. |

Fuck yes. I was gonna call it when I heard Bungie moved on but what 343 is doing so far is very interesting (though in some cases hazardous to the Halo experience). Halo has a simplicity to its actual gameplay and they're adding a lot of mechanics to it that raises eyebrows. If it falls apart I move on, but I'm down for this experiment.

GiantBomb posted up some impressions about the game's early campaign and basically they were happy but had some concerns.
They liked how the prologue did a good job showing what happened between the end of Halo 3 and the start of Halo 4. They did have some concerns over the large number of CoD-like scripted moments early on and the game itself doesn't seem to really start until the third mission since that is when the Forerunners and Promethean stuff gets introduced. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/the-sk...campaign/4382/ Dominion Mode was also revealed today.

Yeah it's a mix of older ideas. I like it, though. Much better than Regicide.

It's funny that with the new weapons, art style, loadouts and all that jazz; the one thing for me is, "YOU CAN THROW THE FUCKING ODDBALL, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING."

i like it because assault games on the bigger maps rarely ever finished in time or with people scoring. tons more crazy ass mayhem and tactics. plus, the defender role will take on much more importance. don't know how i feel about it in grifball, though i don't play that much at all.
kinda worried about no beta. feel like i am going to have to deal with exploits being used for 2 weeks until an update is released. i can't wait and just play campaign/spartan-ops/firefight for a whole 2 WEEKS |

Several stuff was announced or shown off for the game.
First is the game is finished and currently getting certified in order to enter the mass production phase (gold status). Second was several new screens showing off the Flood, Metal Gear Solid-like mechs, and both campaign and Spartan Ops modes. Finally a new multiplayer mode called "Flood" was revealed and explained.

Like Griffball, Infected is pretty much expanded. I did it, and using the Flood makes a lot of sense.
They better stop teasing me about that mecha... |

Got to play this at Eurogamer, I was in love... Weird boost thing when you press RB, but it's pretty neat, throws people off when your jumping about.
Had a game of 'King' or something, free for all. Battle Rifle was amazing. Slayed all the casual gamers, jumped up with my arms raised when I won, but just got funny looks... It was amazing. |

Big TPWW meets are actually rare for Halo. You can trust that I will be on, even if my current Live presence is low.
