You know now that we know their is a story reason for the Spartan IV's to fight wonder if we could see a system like ChromeHounds war mode, obviously not as fleshed out of course but I expect MP to have a few interesting things to make us want to fight.
I also hope we see a return of clans.

It sounds more like your perks are defined by the armor you choose than anything else.
Look when he sprints, there is no meter or indicator that he has a sprint perk or ability.
I feel like if your armor is light enough, you'll be able to sprint.
If you have thrusters on your armor, you'll be able to use the thrusters.
Etc.
I don't think there will be Perk 1, Perk 2, Perk 3.
And we should just chill on the talk of "Perks" until 343i elaborates.
But the graphics are fantastic! The gameplay and aiming looks so smooth!
I love the new scoring! Finally how you play affects the score of the game!
Headshot + 5, Assist + 5, yay!
BR IS BACK BABY! Strafing is back! Look at that movement, the jump height!
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
No beta
!
Hopefully there will be some sort of preview for us??
IDK if I can stick with Reach for 6 to 9 more months after seeing this!
Great job 343i!

Hard to watch videos at work but :
visuals are great.
new armor designs are cool.
Forerunners environments are killer.
Perks, in which ever form, are shit.
I like sprint, power-ups and some sort of jetpack (faster please)
Story MP is great on paper to differentiate the franchise but should have revealed with the appropriate MP mode (thousands of years of war among humanity have made not question why I shoot red when I'm blue)
Story wise I hope we don't get to play as evil mind-controlled spartans vs sane ones.
If so maybe some guys want to follow ONI while others are more inclined towards the Chief/Halsey 's side.
No forerunners in sight kills me a little.
Didact E3 reveal?!

One of the videos looked like it had some low/zero gravity areas, but overall the jumps do look higher.
Yeah, but under the score it clearly says "BR Slayer", leading me to think it isn't some unique mode.
That might be the 3 hollow squares? Maybe you can only carry one grenade type at a time (picked up like equipment?) but any grenades you pick up give you ammo for that?
Ok, so there's a bit more color, but that's about it. Master Chiefs armor looks like it was taken straight out of Reach.

So in the Frankie interview he mentions that the BR is not a replacement for 1-shot weapons like the DMR, but an addition to the sandbox. Sounds like the DMR will return, or a weapon like it! =D
You know I love you right?
Halo with a ChromeHounds war, played out by Red Vs Blue Vs Yellow for world domination.
It's definitely 30. We're doing a lot of cutting edge stuff on the technical side that would prevent hitting 60 unless you'd prefer us to render sub-HD.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Magnum.
Well, that was fun. Gotta run to work now. Not as much footage as I'd hoped for, but the gameplay shown (BR, strafing, jumps, lack of health meter) is enough to get me on board the hype train. Well done guys.

Look at spartans back.
All that looks like to me is a blurred out image of a spartan model with weapon on his back.
They wouldn't be so dumb to keep the jetpack.
While I'd love 60fps as well... I don't know how you could ever seriously think it would be hit on this generation console in a Halo game. There's only so much they can do... I think you'd probably be unhappy if they were to focus on hitting it. Too much would have to be cut.
You're right, that's why they added thrusters.
Because Frankie confirmed they're thrusters, way back.
I'm not sure how it would fit into the sandbox; the BR and DMR had similar functions, but the DMR felt like a baby Sniper Rifle with that range. If they dial the range back, the BR and DMR are basically in the same 'slot'. Unless somehow they're figuring there's room between the BR and Sniper Rifle ranges for another weapon... I don't see how unless the Sniper somehow gets a range increase too... and that's completely unnecessary.

Are we going to be receiving the footage of the actual gameplay you showed the press?
Going against CoD in the same month? Can't see MS doing it.

That's exactly what I'm hoping, I mean with the perk system, you could have people that jump a bit higher than some others.
Please, no need for jetpacks. Thruster's ala dead space 2 might be fine, but I'm not gonna judge them till I see them.

If not, that's not a bad look-a-like :lol

Is that the name of the perk to the left top corner, grenader? Show a grenade with three outlines.

You dropped " looks like its carved from ivory" in the video and i knew it, you even smirked.
there is an interview with frank and ryan from oxm where it sounded like both the dmr AND br return in halo 4 with (slightly?) different roles
I wonder if the press got to hear the Multiplayer announcer during the game. Curious to see if Jeff is coming back or it's someone new.
No, why would you be?
No, why would you be?
No beta = No chance to test Halo 4 = No way to make the long wait slightly more bearable.

I hope the press didn't hear the temp voice we had in there. A staffer yelling GAME OVER! But dun worry.

Better screen of the "Grenadier" loadout.
Please tell me that's LCD ghosting and not Temporal AA..

No beta = no community feedback during production = better game. Betas are costly in terms of development economics, and sheer time. In my opinion they aren't worth the effort, if you're going to ship a game that can be maintained.
