Looks like they are going to be little bastards to kill, can't wait.
Hopefully I can tear myself away from BL2 to give this the attention it will need. |

Going to buy this game and enjoy it as much as the previous Halo games, but im sorry these enemies and weapons look fucking terrible in terms of allowing the game to keep that halo feel about it.
More than happy for the game to prove me wrong :) |

The incinerator cannon looks like Samus' plasma cannon from Metroid Prime.
The game is looking great in my opinion and I can't wait for Nov. 7th. |

I wonder what in Earth will make (the) Master Chief kill these Forerunners now, I thought they were supposed to be peaceful and rational. Moreover, the UNSC should be in peace (no alliance) with the Covenants yet they will appear as enemies in Halo 4. I just hope everything will have a proper explanation.
Honestly, a single Spartan -- not even with the aid of the UNSC flagship -- could never match these futuristic Forerunners. The American defense forces have invented this system called FCS (Future Combat System) which will supervise the battlefields where the troopers are being killed more than elsewhere and then sends additional troops in there, sending 'em as long as the battle is totally done there. You'd expect the Forerunners to be that advanced to say at least (more actually). |

Forum Posts: 646 | Comment #21 by BBowles Wednesday, September 12, 2012 @ 09:54:55 AM | |
While there are technically 8 classes, it really only amounts to 3 new enemies. You have crawlers and their variations (aka jackals and their variations), knights and their variations (elites....does anyone really classify a duel-wielding elite and a sword elite as different "classes"?), and the (probably annoying with its revive ability) medic (aka kill these bastards first lol).
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to this game tremendously....but I was a little let down when the 8 new enemy types were really just 3. I hope there is more variation in the game, like the Covenant had. |

| The Covenant are going to appear too, and who knows, there may be new variants of them thrown in for good measure. I am curious about the mention of The Flood, though. I have a feeling they may make an appearance, although I hope to be proven wrong. Hate the buggers. |

@19, read Halo GlassLands, or 'The Return' as well as 'Cryptum' The humans have already faught a war against the Forerunners, they lost, but they where fighting on two fronts.
Other then that these are not meant to nessisarily be Forerunners, the Forerunners weren't all peaceful beings, they where caste beings, and every caste system has a warrior cast. |

| Kind of agree with 3, 20 and 21 on this. Was hesitant on getting this but this has made up my mind to skip it. I thought this would be like Halo 1 and bring back the feel of exploration and a new enemy, but with just minimal enemy types with rather similar generic looks, coupled with fact that we know who and what they are, any sense of mystery has already fled this game. |

| @19 obviously you don't know anything about the halo stoeu , long before the master chief the forerunners almost wiped out the humans in a war that lasted decades, they clearly aren't a peaceful race, it was only the librarian who stopped the forerunner council from wiping them out |

I love how there's not to many enemy types cause to many would be stupid.Remember there's still brutes,grunts and elites.
@34 what game are you looking at,it looks different and fresh looking not generic at all.
@1 that should be easy cause cod multiplayer only has like a week worthnof play value before it trade in time where as halo has months/years. |

| This may have already been said, but the first set of enemies look like Jackals, the second look like Elites, and watcher is simply an engineer. I'm sure the enemy AI will reflect this as well in game. Is this just a way to recycle old programming? |

I agree.
Enemies are a joke, I would of rather seen the infamous flood return they're scary. Unlike these creatures that looks like they came out of a animated version of Halo.
But it's still a Halo game, which i'll love and plan on getting lol. |

| So the Promethean army consists of three different enemy types? I'm sorry, but these little variations don't cut it. I'm more skeptical the more I see about this game, and that's an honest opinion. I love Bungie, I'm nostalgic for Bungie, but I can admit a game's good when a game's good. So far I'm yet to be impressed. Still have this pre-ordered, because I love Halo, but I'm not a believer yet. |

There doesn't seem to be that many new enemies but who ever said thats the entire Promethean army? There could be others waiting for Halo 5 and 6 and if they bought them all out now everyone would moan about there not being any fresh enemies in the next 2 games. There are more of these guys than there were the Flood when they came into the picture: A brain thingy, a mutated Elite/Human thingy and a swelled up explodey thingy. Coupled with the Covenant there will be plenty of variety I'm sure.
Have some faith in 343i, I sure do and I'm not gonna moan about it until it comes out and I have a reason to do it.
Roll on September 21st & November 6th! |
