Halo 4 may add clans and Theatre Mode campaign support

4.8
Halo 4 updates could introduce clans and Theatre Mode campaign support, according to 343 Industries' Jessica O'Shea.

Writing in the latest Halo bulletin, she said (via OXM): "Theater Mode in Campaign did not make the cut for launch for various reasons of scheduling, rendering issues and some significant engine changes.
"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."

On the subject of clan support, O'Shea said: "As we mentioned before, we plan to continue consistent and meaningful sustainment updates to improve and enhance player experience.

"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. I will be using that expression a lot. Get used to it."

Microsoft has confirmed a Halo 4 release date of November 6. Our Halo 4 review describes 343's debut series entry as "one of the best multiplayer shooters on 360", although we said "Reach has the better Firefight and Halo 3 has the better campaign".

CALL OF DUTY* SUCKS its the same thing every game and it got old a long time ago.


Call of duty never came out with the idea of clans. And if you really think about it, call of duty copied Theater, Map Selection options, and most likely more things, these just popped in my mind.


"Map selection options" lmao please shut the **** up.

Half life 2 and Counter Strike Source have source recording, which sin't the exact same thing as "theater mode" but it records game paths and voice and allows free roam cameras and controlling speed in the playbacks and capabilities to remove hud, do other stuff, and output to video files.

So Halo copied Counter Strike.

I don't see whats wrong with slightly copying another game? They both copy each other in one way or another but they take the best bits to make there own game better. I personally like both games.

It's different, Call of Duty stole Halo's theater mode in the first place.
