Probably because servers, playlists and possible ranking systems are still tweaked and are easy to patch.

If these thing still have time till release and they work on it, I totally support it.
 
Congrats, 343. It's a huge event for the series, but also for the studio: it's their first game*. Can't wait to see what they have in store.

*non-remake.
 

Simply AMAZING

I love how the smoke particles can pick up lighting from light sources and get lit up from them.

The coding project I'm on at work just hit
1
343 unit tests mere moments ago. It's a sign.

Of course, we're probably going to need 100 times as many before we're done. No complaints, it shall be a great journey.
 
I feel like I need to go dark soon. Wait for the PR/Commercial/Forward Unto Dawn stuff. Otherwise, Gaf is too savy and I'll know too much.

Actually, Reach went a whole year without being patched. Which is pretty unheard of for an online focussed game. The only reason it eventually got a patch was to change the reticle bloom. I expect Halo 4 to be as equally solid on day 1.

Lots of people complained about that actually... Vanilla Reach was/is pretty terrible IMO. It needed that patch badly. The reason why it took so long is because of the transition from Bungie to 343. 343 made and implemented the title update.

Hopefully Halo 4 does not have anything resembling the problems of Reach when it first launched.
 
Someone buy me an Xbox 360 or send a medic to revive my RROD one. Pleeeeeeease!!!

Halo 4 might be the last console game I buy this Gen.
 
congrats 343! sounds like you've hit it out of the park, can't wait to verify that for myself.
 
Anyone trying to ignore the pre-release media and videos? The game still feels like a long ways away, but there's so much pre-release stuff already I feel like the game is going to be ruined for me if I watch any of it.

Yeah, I'm almost getting to that point. Which is sad with nearly 1.5 months left.

Even worse with Microsoft's history of leaks the full game is sure to hit the internet any time now.
 
The only Halo game I've ever played through was 3, and I never touched it again -- I didn't even want to -- after co-op'ing through it once. Has there been any consensus on if 4's, well, better? I can't put my finger on what turned me off about 3... If I had to spitball it, I didn't care about the characters, too many enemies were bullet sponges, and the narrative was weak.

The characters (besides chief and cortana) and narrative will probably be quite different. However if you didn't enjoy the core gameplay it probably means the series isn't for you (nothing wrong with that, can't like every franchise).

I don't see what you're talking about in the picture or the video. The smoke is semi-transparent and the environment behind the smoke is lit in blue, so maybe that's what you're talking about.

"Yipeeeeeee"

No, but really, I haven't been this hyped since H3. I'm glad MS put the resources into their most important IP.

Is that the booster pack? Looks awesome when used in mid-air.
