Well that is comforting.
Still remembering, Zealot was fixed with sandbags and a teleporter, A-9 was a pretty lost cause because you need that outside route, Condemned had the center destroyed and irreparable, and all of these would have been much better without.

Okay I need to set the record straight, I didn't play anything and no armor abilities were on display.
Next.

Just catching up on all the news. This looks so good so far. The .gif of the guy strafing with the BR is amazing.
they got to see 343 demo those maps. one report talked about hearing the spartan running through the map
could just be the press back button to see game details thing halo has always had

Did you see anything not shown in that released Making Of video - if so, then what?
What weapons did you see, anything new? Any obvious differences to older versions?
Is teabagging still in the game? =)

Could you tell if sprint was all the time, for everyone, or just a limited "perk?"
What did you see? Was it played in front of you? Full match? Both maps? Just Slayer? Any weapons other than BR?

I like it a lot more.Haven't seen this brought up yet:
Officially the new logo? I really like it a lot.
Aw, it could have been fun to go outside into space.
The press really didn't give a ton info about the gameplay, maps, weapons, etc. I assume not much was shown, but could you elaborate, I feel pretty uninformed.

Yeah. Break the embargo. =)

No full match. Got to see two distinct multiplayer maps. Got to see spartan movement, hear it, also got a nice look at the BR in action.
The embargo is over =).
If you don't mind..
Remind you more of Halo 2/3/R if any? and how do you feel about the direction?
My major concern is how big the armory will be this time.
Ok great.
Was it just one person running around a map showing the maps and basic shit off? No combat against other people? Did it feel like running was slow? Quick? Lateral movement, slow? Quick? Jump height seems high. More like Halo 3 or Reach? Something else maybe?
How does the strafing look?

The H4 logo change may be my favourite part (/priorities).
Still like the full "Halo 4" logo.

How does it look both visually and animation wise compared to Halo 3 and Reach? Anything new, missing?
Assassinations?
You are free to talk about anything you saw or heard and opine freely, positive or negative.

This screen really sells me on the Chief's armor. Looks awesome, at least from that angle.

Really? Because no press site wrote about the campaign in their preview, it led me to the assumption that campaign-related content is still under an embargo. I thought the press had seen more than us. Sorry.

This. I'm getting pretty worried about what they're doing with that. It sounds like they're moving further into armor abilities.
OMG if this is actually the case
This is actually the case. BR does not replace anything. it's an addition.

edit: WTF Halo 4 is still trending on twitter. It's been like 4 hours lol

Reminded me of 2 for the most part. The direction to me seemed awesome. There were also some nice ideas on display not fully fleshed out yet that involved the UI. You could feel and get a sense of the heaviness of the Spartans without losing mobility in this one, that's what made me want to stand up and clap. It felt like they got it. The maps are being made with a great philosophy of making a map geared towards certain playstyles/gametypes, the maps seemed (from my limited time seeing them) have a flow and direction, and a main "mess hall" if you will, and just the overall game seemed sped up which I consider a good thing.
Haha don't feel bad, I was also under the impression that some campaign details would be shown today. The only thing I read was that the covenant are in the game, and may or may not be an enemy. I can't recall if this is true though.

It will be hard as hell for me to think of anything negatively. I was just blown away. And you know how I am not afraid to be a critical asshole.
Nice to hear, thanks.

I know you said you didn't see any AAs, but was there sprint?
looks like its part of the base level game now. notice there is no gauge too

My hype just went from 10/10 to...I'm not sure there's a number for it now.
Well done, Mr. O'Connor and 343. Based on what I've seen, I believe completely.
Just saw this, good lord 1up. This is their headline for H4: Is Halo 4 Trying Too Hard to Be Call of Duty?

So if Sprint is built in, what button do we press to use it? LB for default, X for bumper jumper? (please have bumper jumper in H4 BTW)
Devolution
Member
Nope. Looks like both are in there. I gotta go to school, but I'll be back in like an hour to a little bit. (Class from 12 - 3, won't be back home till 4 or later). I'll have a write up at some point too as I recall stuff.

Without having done any math on it, and judging from this screenshot alone, I'd say the FoV is just under 90.
Can one use a protractor on the FOV shown in the radar to determine the FOV? lol
brb getting 7th grade math kit :lol

Goddamn, shit just keeps getting more awesome today.
lol gaming journalism.
They've said it is, at least for that map.
You mean thrusters.
Well now I'm feeling more hype.

Thanks a lot for your answers.
Look forward to reading.
Yeah the questions are better for me since it's harder for me to recall specifics. There was a lot to process beyond "holy shit I am here watching a sneak preview."

The medals.
But this is the one thing i am very curious about, the actual score for this match I assume is to the right of the bars.

If it's like that, it's probably a setting you can change. But they didn't say anything about that, there was something on the HUD about weapon placements, but they didn't talk too much about it.
