Just to point out Halo Waypoint is WELL worth a visit now, has good stat tracking but most of all as Boris said when you unlock terminals it gives you extra story, one even fills in a bit of backstory about the main bad guy. Think the purpose of waypoint unlocks were to be used alongside smartglass, when you unlock a terminal you can instantly watch it on tablet/phone via the smartglass on halo 4.

Just in case you didn't realise it, the watchers(those floaty flying things) heal the Promethean knights, so kill those first. It took me awhile to realise this and they were taking ages to kill. Once I realised it they are not much harder to kill than standard elites.Originally posted by Synthesthesia View PostI'm playing legendary, and so far I've easily played around 5 hours. Just finished chapter 3.
The promethean knights on legendary
f**king ridiculous to kill. When you come across more than one they're a real problem.
At least, you think. Until you have 3...and one can instakill you with his eye laser.
Best campaign in a halo game by far for me. Loving it (when I'm not raging because of dying)
Loving the multiplayer too, was coming just under par yesterday at the start of the day, evens by the end, and today i've been getting 2.0 K/Ds etc. Awesome.Comment

Yeah, take out the watchers, 3 or 4 Rifle shots should do it.
If you leave them they will actually resurrect dead Knights (they leave behind their 'soul' after you kill one). I found the suppressor to very really good at killing the knights, just unload a clip into one. Alternatively the scatter shot or a charged bolt shot to the body 3 or 4 times will kill one real good.Comment

Well played a bit of everything now. The campaign is solid and im getting my @$$ kicked on a regular basis, loving it though. The music does nothing for me, can't and wont ever beat monk chants, i guess 343 wanted to put their own stamp on the game but its a backwards step, a forward step is the graphics, just jaw dropping. The FMV are also astonishing, the start of Spartan Ops, when you can watch the episode blew me away. Spartan Ops is good but its no Firefight, and just an attempt to bring more DLC to Halo, yes i know season 1 is free, they should bring back Firefight and have Spartan Ops. The multiplayer is it usual self and im getting PWNED by 14 year old ninjas, yes i suck at it but its fun. So overall i'd say 92% is the score i'd give it. Is it GOTY , im unsure, still think dishonored or Journey takes that crown, but welcome back Master Chief.Comment

if you make such a statement you better add your Halo history if you expect to leave an impressionOriginally posted by djtickle View Post
as ever, i reserve my final judgement on the campaign until i finished it on Legendary - that's the way a Halo is experienced best.
as for Heroic difficulty i can't say i am impressed. Halo 4 is definitely a step back from Bungie's Halos in terms of AI - enemy and friendly alike. i really wonder why this is. new AI routines? why? :hm:Comment

I don't think that on Heroic that there was really opportunity for enemies to shown me anything exciting that they could do, they died so easily! BOOM!
I think the enemy scripting will be a common complaint, the Promethean Knights and crawlers have a very limited set of animations compared to an elite, therefore you don't see them do quite as much stuff.
Hopefully when I ventured into Spartan ops it will give me more opportunity to see them doing their thing.Comment

I'm part way through chapter 3 and I'm loving it. Playing it on legendary is a challenge grunts are vicious little buggers with fuel rods.Comment

This is simply outstanding in almost every dept . Can't belive what the 360 is doing graphically and the sound effects are so well done its insane, but the best part is the gameplay its classic HALO but better in almost every regard (bar music)Comment

The points are for Spartan Ops.
"Theater Mode in Campaign did not make the cut for launch for various reasons of scheduling, rendering issues and some significant engine changes," O'Shea said.
"However, we are treating Title Updates very differently for Halo 4 and rather than simply using them as opportunities for simple big fixes, we are thinking of them as a way to sustain and grow features and options, so it is possible you could see Saved Films made available for Campaign (as well as some other significant features) at some time in the not-too-distant future, but that's yet to be determined."
O'Shea also commented on the possibility of clan support for multiplayer, a feature the series has been missing since Halo 2.
"As we mentioned before, we plan to continue consistent and meaningful sustainment updates to improve and enhance player experience," she said.
"Social constructs are something we too have missed since Halo 2, and we're looking at interesting ways to improve those experiences in the not-too-distant future."Comment

I've been playing some campaign (seems good) but mostly online. Trying to get the hang of the new weapons. I can usually come 1st or 2nd with the DMR... but some of those new ones and I lose each time, so I'm forcing myself to get the hang of them!Comment
