The increased amount of refinement hasn't been limited to just the new abilities, but familiar ones as well. The Halo 4 Health Regeneration Fields are less "effective" than the Halo 3 generator, by design, all in the name of greater balance and parity. To give an idea of just what level of detail is being considered by the developers and how few players will recognize the difference a point of particular concern for was the exact deployment time for the Regen Field the time from button-press to activation.
If the device launched instantly, then firefights between low numbers could be thrown out of equilibrium, and the deploying player would receive an unfair boost. Increasing the time required to deploy made the device too laggy and impractical. The eventual delay was set at just over half a second, which encouraged players to use them for their entire squad, in both multiplayer and Spartan Ops. Keeping in mind that the overall differences were less than half a second on either side of that amount, and the extent to which is fine-tuning becomes clear.
Lest we forget, all this balancing is just having to do with multiplayer War Games. For Spartan Ops, or the singleplayer campaign for that matter, the possibilities and potential tactics are just as expansive. Not every player need be concerned with the intricacies of Armor Abilities - or the specialization classes , for that matter - since the moment-to-moment gameplay will still be recognizable to any Halo fan. There's still the insane shoot-first-style Flood Mode to look forward to, and Spartan Ops if competition isn't as satisfying as cooperation.
It's safe to say that has earned the benefit of the doubt, having put more than enough time into their first entry in the Halo series. How well these tweaks and finer touches will work can only be known when the game launches, but for now, excitement is more than warranted. Any of these strategies or changes seem particularly interesting for you Halo fans? Are there any past tactics that may be more or less effective come Halo 4 assuming you're willing to share them?

Use rocks, crates, and other scenery to reach higher ground. This can help in all types of objective games to cut off routes, complete shortcuts, or run in a flag faster so you can score. This allows you to accrue time easily and relatively safely.
When playing properly on a team, there should be only one player in the hill so the remaining teammates can cover the other angles to help keep the hill dweller alive.
Sarah Palmer , the commander of the ship's Spartan contingent, has a low opinion of the AI. War Games simulations sometimes introduce "balancing" to several weapons and AI units.
Upon reaching a Spartan rank of level 50, they are given the option to enlist in a specialization in their field of choice, should they wish, they may also apply for multiple specialist rankings. Sometime after the UNSC encountered the Warden Eternal in October it was added to the Warzone section of War Games simulations, following the introduction of many other Promethean constructs to the simulator.
Many locations house War Games combat decks, among them several warships including UNSC Infinity , [14] the corporate-sponsored Munera Platforms and other combat training orbitals, [15] and Anvil Station. In addition, several terrestrial military bases also house War Games simulators. The size and scope of each individual War Games facility varies based on the needs and resources of their associated installation.
Most of the Simulated War Games environments are recreated from either detailed scans, partial records or remote survey data of actual locations around the galaxy, although artistic flourishes may be applied at the simulation designers' discretion.
Examples of such conceits include the anachronistic use of given starship, vehicle or emblem designs sometimes encountered in War Games simulations. Problems arose as many departments were stretched thin due to the UNSC's struggle to maintain a cohesive presence across colonized space. Because of this, the military began the Cartographer Initiative to recruit much needed War Games map designers to help keep the Spartan branch operating efficiently.
