First Halo 4 GI information (Spartan OPs, multi, etc) [Update: Campaign/More Details]

From that article:

Franchise director Frank O'Connor, who's worked on the series since Halo 2, promises that this game will have a more "visceral" feel and a deeper level of immersion.

Those two words will never stop being thrown around, will they?

One thing worries me: "much of the game will play out on the Forever Unto Dawn".
I was hoping most of the game is exploring the planet.

That whole quote has got to be wrong. First, it's the Forward Unto Dawn. Second, the ship is only a frigate, not very big, and the front half of the ship is missing. Thirdly, no one at 343i is crazy enough (Ellis) to put the majority of a Halo game indoors.

I hope.

:O

Edit: Beaten, thanks jet1911.

It sounds like it's just the first level. See Frankles post linked above.
 
I hope the whole game takes place on the frigate in the Chief's mind who is revealed to still be in cryo-sleep at the end of the game.

Ya, saw it after I posted. Thanks :)

The next interview/story should go something like this: "The entirety of Halo 4 takes place in a 14' x 11' room with fully stocked bar, a pistol and a UNSC regulation toilet."

That actually sounds interesting. Reminds me of the ME3 Indoctrination Theories...
 
'roller-coaster' is up their, it now means 'impossible not to beat, it really plays itself... but you can watch if you'd like.'

"Experience" is all-encompassing. It includes "roller-coaster," quick time events, "press A to awesome" events, forced slow walks to take in all this "atmosphere" events, and unskippable cutscenes and/or unskippable 1st/3rd person dialogue which is the same damn thing.

Halo 5 will be the crowning achievement of this generation's brilliant new techniques.
 
alright guys, i just saw the "Heroes Never Die" video from Waypoint for the first time, and noticed some very good Halo cg work that I've never seen before starting at the 29 second mark.

Thought it might have been something from Halo Legends I had forced myself to forget because how utterly shitty that was, so I went back and watched parts of it again...sadly. So I'm going to guess this is from Halo Wars? Never actually played that game

Yes, they're from Halo Wars.

That video makes me hope that we'll get a really kick-ass ad campaign some time soon. Believe on crack, please, 343.

I hope to god the H4 sniper sounds like the CE:A sniper

That loud thunder crack makes using the sniper feel fantastic.
Not much is more satisfying to me than that Halo: Anniversary Assault Rifle. Hot damn does it just explode into light, sparks and awesome at every trigger press. Its like a grunt birthday party in my soul, for as long as I have ammo.

I hope to god that the particle system in 4 is similar to the one in Anniversary.
