much better gifs.











This is the kind of high tech visor stuff I've been waiting for forever. This is the stuff that you hear about in the books. Cortana now seems much more like an advanced AI helping you with all sorts of things. Totally got excited when I saw that switch to what seems to be infrared.

How stunning is it that we can say this is an MP mode? Spartan Ops looks great.

I sure as hell didn't :)

Halo 4 seems like Mass Effect kind of atmosphere, but Halo :D I've been wanting that.

Beyond how good the graphics look, I'm just happy to see a level presentation that finally seems to have caught up with other games. There was always a weird, disjointed thing about Bungie's Halo titles.

For example, just the way that gigantic orb moved off, which I think is possibly a Contender Class Ancilla (term for forerunner AI), or maybe the class right below Contender Class Ancilla's.

Don't be silly, only 20 copies is proof of that.

The Infinity is the most advanced ship ever built by humanity. It has every single piece of covenant and forerunner technology that humanity has come across since the start of the human vs covenant war. I believe it also possesses technology found on the Shield World, Sarcaphagus. Halo : Glasslands explains most of this.

It's the same ship from that book Manthatyoufear. There are Spartan 4s on that ship. This will be our first time seeing the Chief work with other Spartans in a game. In fact, it's the very base for the Spartan 4 program :)

Cortana is pissed the chief left the toilet seat up.

The quality of the cutscenes are really awesome. And, yes, Bungie is showing a lot of class acknowledging 343's work on a franchise they have such strong roots with, but never really expected any less of them.

The most stunning things to me visually about everything that I saw were, first, the whole entire look of the scene where that gigantic orb (maybe Mendicant Bias) came up behind the chief, then seemed to scan him along with the immediate area before speeding off in the direction of the UNSC Infinity. The sense of speed of when it took off was most convincing, the effect around it as it hovers is really well done. The camera work was great, giving you an idea for the sheer size of the thing, and I loved the nice, fluid animation of the chief. It was great the way he seemed to take a pause and look up at the orb, and concluded that shooting at something like that might not necessarily be a good idea lol.

Was quite surprised at just how good those Covenant ships looked flying overhead, personally.

Pretty excited about all the nice little touches I've been wanting to see in the Halo games for quite some time, like the hud related changes/additions. Sound design is just fantastic. Basically, 343 doesn't seem like a team that is very challenged in the area of producing in game whatever it is they have in mind artistically, or from a presentation standpoint. Can't wait to see more.

Yep. They're truly moving the industry forward with Halo 4. Like never before. I'll say it again: Bungie is doing great work on Halo 4. I've never seen a game like Halo 4 ever. It's like all other video games are just pretending.

Bungie isn't developing Halo 4 Phaethon...

Hironobu Sakaguchi is

On another look, there's no way those enemies shown in the SP footage are actual Forerunners. They are forerunner war machines, Promethean class war machines, but not actual an actual forerunner species. Cortana also confirmed in the video that it wasn't organic. Forerunners ARE organic beings. The design on those things don't seem to fit with anything like what I'd expect Forerunners to look like. That opening of the face to reveal a burning skull is a dead giveaway.

That's definitely not a forerunner in the vein of The Didact, or even Master Builder Faber. So, in other words, 343 are still holding their cards very close to their chest. We have yet to see what an actual forerunner looks like. These are just one of their, likely many, tools of war.

Yep, I was right. The most talked about enemy shown in the Halo SP gameplay isn't an actual forerunner. It's just one of many forerunner tools.

343 put up some renders for Halo 4, and all of the shown enemies share the name Promethean, indicating they are merely just tools of the highest ranking among the Warrior Servant Class of Forerunners. We've still yet to see an actual forerunner.
