Watch it before it goes down!

I take it all back. This game is going to be flipping epic.

OMG man !!! Halo 4 will be the most realistic and fantastic halo i have ever seen. 343 know what are they doing. I love that. !!!

It looks so beautiful...and they didn't go all dumb on introducing these new guys, forerunner or no. Very interesting, conveys that *star trek* feeling.

e:HOLY *****


Cortana goes all bat ***t at the end of the video! Okay, you win M$. I'll buy an Xbox.

Didn't they say that you'll be able to play Xbox games on windows 8?

Windows 8 is an insult to every OS in the world.

Anyway, if the video goes down I took the liberty of re-uploading it here.

(Right click on it, Save Link as, or just go to the link)

Me = Hoping Microsoft will go Sony's way and let their first parties work on multi-platform games, including Wii U.

They better not do what Sony do. I have read an article where Sony are thinking about putting averts in games, just like TV. Where gameplay will slow down and an advert will appear...

Microsoft just made their own Wii U instead and called it SmartGlass

SmartGlass?

*snickers*

Incredible. Much more different compared to the other games. Almost seems like a game of its own, but still halo. The forerunner weapons are awesome too.

I wonder what this Ancient Evil is. For some reason I keep thinking of the Reapers.

I am actually quite impressed, this just re-ignited my anticipation for Halo 4! :D I cant wait!

I'm making that huge vehicle asap!

The level of awesomeness that this video has...








IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND! *destroys a million scouters*

OMG OMG OMG *jumps up and down like a little girl* It's so beautiful :') i can't wait.

If you look behind chief at 6:17 it looks like that spartan (or maybe odst) is wearing the same helmet as noble six :O

They should have made a new franchise as this is nothing like Halo.
The character design reminds me of Half-life + Mass Effect and features teleporting robots.

Not only that, but the storyline has become just too milked out to have any sort of believability left. How much can one man experience in a life-time? The original trilogy was already a hell of an adventure, but this is overkill and feels tacked on just to expand halo's lifespan. One can also call this "milking the cow", and the large crowd will love it because it's called Halo. Say what you want, but if this was a different franchise I bet alot of you would brand it "generix sci-fi shooter X". It doesn't differentiate itself anymore from other shooters.

Luckily I'm not the only one who thinks this as apparent on xfire. This thread almost gives off the idea that alot of people are liking this thing.

But remember: a cow's uterus cannot have an infinite volume.

...I think you mean udders. Uterus is what a baby is conceived in, there, bro.

Avé Wim indeed grunt eater :)

And once again LODEX :| , you remain the only one disliking the upcoming game.

Better yet, ask yourself the question: How much can humanity go through in 20 years?

I imagined the forerunner as an advanced species with far superior technology than both the covenant and the humans combined. I have no problem accepting the appearance of these new enemies because they have created exactly what was created in my head after reading the x number of books.

If the year is 25xx and you can hyper jump with a star ship, i think it's safe to say that a more advanced species that created all of the halo rings should be able to teleport too.

Also, it reminded me more of Metroid than Mass Effect. And i have no idea where the Half-Life thing came from, because I see no resemblance.

HOLY BALLS 0_0

At no point was it stated that these new enemies were forerunners, so please stop making assumptions. Cortana said at one point that they're AI, so perhaps an evolved variant of the Sentinels? Actually, there's been no mention of Forerunners in that trailer at all, so..

At first, I was determined that that meant that the creatures are Forerunner too, being of similar design.

But then I thought about it.
What if the enemies aren't Forerunners, but created minions? They're not powerful enough or advanced enough to be the Forerunners themselves. The Forerunners built a weapon that could wipe out the entire race of flood. Surely they'd be able to build a simple weapon to obliterate Masterchief with a single flick of a trigger?

Perhaps the enemies are just the minions of the Forerunners, guarding their base. When you meet the Forerunners themselves, I doubt you'll be put into a situation where you have to fight them. If they are your enemies and there isn't ever some kind of "Oh wait, now we understand your inferior species. Peace?" story, then it'll likely be a super weapon that allows you to kill the Forerunners, not your own hands.

Also, Sentinels are Forerunner constructs.



The new enemies are Prometheans, and I'm fairly certain they are Forerunner "minions."

It is indeed a spartan, but only his helmet is the same as noble 6, the rest of his armor is different.

Like a bawss.

Triggers arent really rocket science.

Cortana was talking about the weapon :|

Different recoil. MasterChief must be amazingly good at judging weight and power to be able to get accurate shots as soon as he picks up a new gun. Most guns have different recoil and aiming should be quite inaccurate when you use a new gun. Masterchief clearly has a grasp of Physics and listened in class though. ;)

Well, im definetly not getting Halo 4.

- Forerunner "AI" dont look like robots nor look like Forerunners, nor do they even look remotely assciated with Halo universe

- Forerunners made to look like super bad evil guys now, where before in Halo 1/2/3 they always ended up helping you and then only stop aiding you due to 343GS corruption and protocol.

- May just be demo but it leads me to believe that Halo 4 is going for a more "COD" cinematic type of approach to their gameplay, unlike the classic Halo gameplay style we all love

- Cortana looks like some asian emo chick, not what she use to look like at all (you can say she went through varations in 1-2-3, but they all looked similar)

- HUD. Nothing else to say...

- Everything was great up until the giant ball warping thing.

- Overall, the visuals look fantastic. But so much does not fit in with Halo at all and I believe 343 is just slapping on Halo's name onto the product to ride off of Bungies succes with the game.

- Forerunner Weapons look too much like standard human weaponry, just add orange, lots of orange and maybe a disintegration effect

I had some hope for this game before, right now though, not much of any. I'm really, really disappointed with the enemies mostly, and also some of the lore they are changing. The game could honestly be a different game with all the stuff theyve changed so far in terms of "Halo-ness", it really seems like an entire new franchise then anything remotely Halo related.

Halo 4 is a definite buy.

343 dared to do something Bungie would never try to do, they actually did what Halo 1 said, "Combat Evolved"

Halo 2 and 3 Combat was extinct. and now 343 evolved it again.

Halo 4 is defiantly a fresh beginning for the new Halo trilogy.

Gotta agree with Slayer on this one.

Halo 4 is a definite game.

343 did their own thing with it, they actually did what their script writer told them to, "Make a game with teleporting robots"

Halo 2 and 3 combat was fantastic. and now 343 is making a game with teleporting robots.

Halo 4 is defiantly a fresh beginning to a new game franchise.

In case it gets taken down here is a mirror for anyone who misses it:

Halo 4 is a new Trilogy though. its time we evolved and time we got something fresh and so it was delivered.
