Oh no we knew he was fishing. But little does he realize everyone's getting a laugh because we know what is going to happen.
I'm there to see the fireworks.
Also, I love Ken for making that Spartan popcorn image.

Yup. Greatest thing ever. It's perfect for moments like tonight.
Don't hate on 90's kid man.

If that is going to be a part of the HUD, it seems like a must.

...because it doesn't effect gameplay and all of the seperate armor pieces need to be loaded into only 512 mb of RAM.

Only the armor pieces in use need to be.

This was the thread that made me wanna join this place, haha.
There are two reasons I'm looking forward to Monday. Halo 4's reveal is one. The GAF threads are the other.
This made me laugh IRL.

Someone isolated the music from the 343 Industries video, and its pretty decent quality if you wanna listen.

Doesn't give me a Halo vibe at all.
I get Halo mixed with Uncharted, which I'm a fan of both. Maybe it's just me.
Definitely agree, was just thinking of the same thing. Sounded like it would have fit in with any action movie soundtrack, while none of the tracks from the other games would.
My roommate heard it from across the room and didn't know what it was because it 'didn't feel like Halo.'
Taking a wait and see approach with this one, I think. Might just be this specific track I'm not a fan of. But I do think this is probably the area that is the biggest risk. The music sets the tone for this series in a way that no other game soundtrack has for me.

Reminds me of some of the Lord of the Rings music.
Yeah it doesn't give me a complete Halo vibe, but it still sounds epic and I can imagine it fitting in with Halo.
And its pretty much the same part over and over again, I think its just a small clip from a larger song.

Needs more monks chanting about not getting any.
So when do we get your audition? You've got the credentials.

Yea can't say I'm digging it either. I really hope the stuff on Monday turns my outlook for the game around because so far I've not liked anything I've heard or seen. I'm still holding out hope though since we've seen and heard so little.

I'm loving this music TBH.
It is epic and I think it could fit in with the game depending on the encounter we experience it with.

Yes! I was thinking the same.
And just like Uncharted music, it's really really really good, but not quite Halo good, which is fine because with losing Marty, things could've turned out worse.
edit-
Holy shit at Steam Box if true.
Pretty much what I was thinking, it doesn't give off that Halo vibe but it seems like it was certainly made with an event or experience in mind that probably plays a huge role in it's reception.
Not really, since they can use modular armor pieces like they did with the forge piece sets. Even then, they only have to account for a maximum of 16 players worth of possible permutations on screen at any given moment and they have texture streaming. It wouldn't be that big of a stretch to add tons of armor permutations because past a certain point it wont take any more memory at run time.
They could do it, which is the annoying part, since I still think they shouldn't. They could spend their time on things with a bigger impact.

I know there's been speculation that Neil Davidge might be the composer for Halo 4, but that cleaned up track gives me a Harry Gregson-Williams vibe. It wouldn't surprise me if it were true, seeing how Tojima worked with him while he was at KojiPro, so there could be an acquaintance there.

It would be a huge surprise if they didn't have armor customization in the game.
There was a variation of it in Halo 3, ODST, and Reach.
It is at the point where you should expect it.
They obviously have technology in place already to accomodate the different armor choices.

Just caught up with the thread.
-1 helmet outline. Stuff like that makes me feel claustrophobic. I hope there's an option to turn it off.
Edit: I liked the music I heard. Need more.
+1 AR.Halo 4? That black visor outline isn't in any of the other games...

I'm out of the loop and on my phone. Is this what I think it is?

-1 Framerate looks way too fast as well.

Less lighting sound and HUD effects
Less shaking of my screen when I'm being AR'd
60 fps
90degree FOV
Thanks 343.

Not really, seems about the same screen size as it always was.
Maybe I'm just groggy but "dat 'chise" is hilarious sounding.

That is what I was thinking too, might be a larger FOV?
Doesn't it look like the guy playing is pressing the left trigger, but his character never throws a grenade?

That object on the screen is way too round too. Might want to square it out a bit.
About the Halo 4 thread: I hope a new thread is made for the new Halo 4 information that's coming. That thread has way too much baggage.
Also: Steam for consoles? Hey, Valve, you might want to package that with a game...you know...
