Did I say they ALL have to be like that? No, read again. And I already said the ODST one was great. My whole point is that not EVERY Halo trailer has to be a somber, poignant, live-action trailer.
Those trailers have no in-game footage whatsoever and focus on campaign. I'm saying Halo needs some kick-ass multiplayer trailers to balance those out. You don't think that's fair?

I read your post: blech.

No, you posted a knee-jerk criticism and missed the entire point of the post, which pointed to the COD trailers as an example of a more exciting, action-based, in-game trailer against the usual Halo fare.
I quite like that the trailers focus on singleplayer and they should always focus on that.
Multiplayer is just harder to sell via trailer. It's often comes off as "Look at all this we got, you can do this and this". Not even COD does that, their trailers mostly focus on singleplayer.

I was more unimpressed by the lack of funny.

Oh fuck, the character models in that RT video look like shit.

Graphically they look fine, art style wise they look awkward.

Day one. I don't care what haters say, I like the franchise.

That's what I mean. I'm really not digging Halo 4's art style.
There's that, but I've been getting the "this shit isn't right"-vibe right since it was announced. Sorry 343.
I think he meant that the character models don't 'fit' with the art style.
They just look a little plastic to me, plus the helmets make the Spartan IV's look like Transformers.

I refuse to watch a RvB video just to get information about the game, I'll wait for a proper trailer/video.
To be honest, I usually don't think of 'not a fan of the art style' when someone says "that looks like shit"

Multiplayer side of things, at least.
The only haters of Halo nowadays are the actual fans.
Did seem very Reach-y.. then again, it's a modified engine they're running it on.
I'm more interested in the Campaign if I'm honest.

truer words...
Also was the first direct feed footage of Halo 4 just released as a RvB video ?

I'm with you. I haven't liked a single damn thing I've seen style wise. On a technical level yea it looks great. I won't deny that. But when it comes to the designs and look of things I just don't like it. Course I don't play just for the graphics so I can get past those if the campaign is on par with Bungie's work which I loved.

No, direct feed footage was released on March 4th or 5th.
I got your point. I don't like your point.
Also thought it was reach at first, but I went back and looked at the reach videos and ya, halo 4 does look a lot better, cleaner and higher poly models.
Halos art style kinda makes all the games blend into each other for me. If that makes any sense.
Also the second video, the one where there at the forrunner place, looks a lot better then the one where there in the warehouse looking area.

I'm hoping Halo 4 doesn't have that blurry filtered look that Reach has.

It seems like nobody really likes the default multiplayer armor setup. How, with endless testing and hundreds of genius developer minds, do they let stuff like this go through?

I'd say some Gaf folks don't like it, I think it's fine. Honestly, we've seen it twice total, and none of the customization has been explained. Who knows what any of this is.
343i ditched the temporal AA that Bungie used in Reach which was the cause for the blurry look...in fact Halo 4 will easily have the best IQ ever in a Halo game since it's running at 1280*720 with FXAA.
Now about the release date...day freakin' one of course, my most anticipated game of 2012 by far.
As others have said, it's surprising they would date it so close to CoD. In a way it makes sense, usually by the time CoD comes around, many people who have purchased Halo have been playing it for a couple months and are likely open to a new game.
Hey, Halo deserves all the jacking off it receives.
DICE must have worked incredibly hard on BF3's campaign. =p
It's highly doubtful Halo 4 will outsell BLOPs 2 on the 360 IMO.

MS better have a gargantuan marketing budget ready and 343 better deliver.

Especially now since the kid will be spending their money on Blops2 instead of Halo 4 since they are releasing right next to each other,.

I feel like a segment on Conan the very day they announce the release date is a good start. Shows they're being aggressive.

Honestly, after MC's armor reveal, it's not at all surprising I don't like the default multiplayer armor.
This thread is going places.
Why not simply save the date (and money) and stop comparing halo's and cod's dicks? and why can't blops 2 release the week after or two weeks after?
I think the short video wasn't meant to be very funny by the way, just a bitter (sweet) take on the whole Reach shebang where the marketing was overly dramatic.
Anyway, I'm booked for November 6th and 7th. My Mjolnir is ready.
I like the armor, it's somewhat reminiscent of Gundam.

I was thinking that also, with the rebreather/facemask/whatever. (Click for big.) I like it, for the record. Looks very militaristic and aggressive. Cold.
I'm starting to develop a certain fondness for the design. The little angel wings are really quite adorable and add a gentler flair to your superhuman killing machines.
And the codpiece has cute little arms, so what's not to like about it, really?

Well you can't beat Master Chief's swag look. We all have to earn our right to wear his armor in mp. And with that, I'll be taking off the whole week to play this puppy.

I actually like the master chief armor, but the multiplayer default helmet looks like some random enemy robot head from a b sci-fi action flick.

I like the helmets.
HaloGAF, from what I've seen, doesn't really agree on most things.
lol
edit:
Maybe that's why I think they look good.

Well that's good. Sprint has a meter which limits your sprint. Also seems that they looked at Halo 1 & 3 the most when it comes to things. I'm happy with that at least.
Thank you sir! That makes me like 1000x more pumped for this game
Even if the game looks exactly like Reach, the much better IQ will make a world of a difference in the quality of visuals...add to that the new/different art-direction from 343i and I'm sure we'll have a very interesting looking game in our hands in November.

When I toss a nade' under a speeding hog does it flip like a mother fucker?
2 managed to fuck up such a basic natural thing as that.
