Halo 4 Multiplayer Hands-On Impressions

To wrap up our week of Halo 4 multiplayer coverage, we wanted to speak directly about our experience with the game. While on the cover story trip visiting 343 Industries we had a blast playing a couple of multiplayer matches with the developers. There is a lot of new information to process, and we hope this feature serves as a sufficient summary on what to expect when you get your hands on the game this fall. Watch the video below to see Game Informer editors Matt Miller and Bryan Vore share their thoughts on the changes to multiplayer in Halo 4 with associate editor Kyle Hilliard.

  • Ever since Halo 4 was announced every day feels longer than the last.

  • Still sketchy about the loadout upgrades and random weapon drops (or random anything) doesn't sound very "Halo-y", but having Forge return is definitely good news. There better be a public beta as well, considering there's so much content that is new to the series.
  • So from what im getting they are combining Cod and BF. Then mixing in some halo styled action to create this.

  • Are these weekly mission things in a new playlist or something? Or is it somehow twisted in online multiplayer?

  • I hope that if you play 4-player co-op in Spartan-Ops, each of the players will be a different character with different roles and lines in the cutscenes.

    And I'm disappointed that we must play as Master Chief clones if we play co-op in SP. I thought that it was awesome that you were four different characters in the Halo 3 SP campaign.

  • they're cutting firefight? NOoooooOOoooo whatever

  • they're cutting firefight? NOoooooOOoooo whatever

  • Video keeps freezing up, guess I'll try later when the whole gameinformer community isn't trying to watch it.

  • Really hope spartan points don't and upgrading don't make this like Call Of Duty.  

  • I think that 343 Industries really knows what they're doing, and I believe it is safe to say that Halo is in good hands.

  • I like the idea of halo being a little bit more modernized but im positive halo will still be chaotic as usual. I do hope they show vehicles maps soon.

    Although im very intrigued by spartan ops i really want to play that and see how it ties to the story. Its like halo is not only FPS but RPG because of spartan ops. I really cant wait to play this.

  • I wonder what's gonna come in the Legendary Edition?

  • The new helmets look like Optimus Prime's face.
  • I worry that if they are going to do this episodic multiplayer thing, they might want to charge for it evetually.
  • this game is going to be filled to the brim with content.

  • Mijolneer? lulz.

  • The changes sound fun. But there better be a classic gameplay mode...

  • stupid star trek.......-.-

  • r they bring back the jet battles

  • Aw, no Firefight? Ah well, Spartan Ops sounds like a cool replacement. Please don't screw this up 343!
