Halo 4: War Games

Halo 4: War Games

War Games – the new name for multiplayer Red vs Blue. This was always going to be the main area of the game for me, shooting guys is so much better than shooting AIs. It has a lot to live up to – the Halo series is the only First Person multiplayer experience that I felt was flawless – and then in subsequent games they always improve on it somehow. Halo was great – never has lugging an Xbox and TV round a mates house been so rewarding. Halo 2 improved it, made it smoother, added cool new weapons and had an amazing selection of maps. Halo 3 added equipment and refined the whole thing. Halo: Reach added armour abilities – these things really spiced things up. And now Halo 4…

I have played through the Campaign three times – once with Jane on Normal, once with Lewis on Heroic, and once by myself on Legendary. This is what I thought of it.

Also, as well as the spoiler warning, I should let you know that this may be all over the place. I’m not going to basically write out the whole story, I will jump from start to end and back again with little warning.

But I will start at the beginning.

As one of the three main facets of Halo 4’s Campaign mode, and a huge part of how successful the multiplayer side of things were going to be, this was a potential area for disappointment. Not only did any new weapons have to be balanced and Halo-ish, deciding which old ones to keep and which to quietly brush under the carpet must’ve been tough too. I was going to cover the vehicle selection in this post as well, but it’s standard stuff really. Apart from one new one, there’s just the basic, standard, (dependable) set in Halo 4. Mongoose. Warthog. Ghost. Banshee. Wraith.

I've played through the Campaign mode three times now, once with Jane on Normal (she doesn't like dying!), once on Heroic with Lewis, and once by myself, on Legendary, which was a slog! Those Promethean Knights sure have strong shields. This is what I thought of the Halo 4 bestiarum vocabulum. Caution: There will be spoilers! When Halo 4 was…

I made a Spider-Man canvas for my brother for his birthday - he loved it! It was quite moving experience, seeing it on the canvas, and the look on his face when he unwrapped it was priceless! I'll never forget what he said: "My favourite super-hero by my favourite artist" You can find the "Making Of" here. I must make…

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…

It's come around quickly again this year. Like last year, I have been working night shifts on Music and Video to prepare and repair the department. It was four night shifts spread over two weeks this time, rather than three night shifts in a row, and it took it's toll on my sleeping patterns. Still, think of the money. I…
