Not those stairs. Look at them again.
Chris Puckett?
It's jarring to go back to Halo 3 and notice all the Spartans and Elites are walking around like their spine has been fused. The Reach/4 animation systems where they actually have movement outside of their legs/arms is much more natural looking.
Like in the back of Construct in Halo 3? Sucked when trying to nade back there and it would hit a crevice and wouldn't hit the guy top gold.

Thats only the starting helmet, correct? Armor is going to be as if not more customize-able than Reach? I don't care for it either.

"Oh terrible grenade there by Pistola--misses the triple kill--he just threw that nade right through the stairs, oh wait, my mistake we're actually onboard with Lunchbox, nope wait, I'm at my house taking a dump because MLG no longer features Halo on the circuit"
I meant unlock announcers like the firefight voices in Reach. Cortana voice, Black Box voice, Sargent Johnson voice. Could be cool.
GUFU789shadow. I sent a request.
Bungie was very late to the motion capture party.

that was the worst, it always happened to me, was a perfect nade until it hits that crevice and goes nowhere
Guessing it's like Tron.
Might hop on later tonight, not sure though.
Put an invisible ramp over it and done. Shouldn't be that hard. :/
Don't recall any staircases in Halo having individual steps.
That's not why their spine looked fused. New rigging/animating tech. A lot of the animations are still hand animated/adjusted IIRC.

I'm not a Halo Fiction Veteran but a lot of the Forerunner tech involves hard light (like the light bridges in CE) so if the Infinity is some human/forerunner hybrid ship it might contain some of that stuff but with pretty textures painted on them.
Serious Issue #578: somewhere I saw a picture of a warthog with gas cans on the rear bumper. It looked like concept art, but I cannot be sure that the actual Halo 4 warthog will not have some kind of fusion coil built into the back of it unless FrankEllis clarifies the issue for me.

There's concept art.
Good news is, the Banshees are back to their balanced* H3 look.
*By balanced, I mean the wings balance the fuselage visually, not that the FRG is disabled in multi
I MUST SEE THIS BANSHEE ART
I feel kinda bad, I didn't know zero was from GAF, and I didn't know that was Plywood. I probably would have been more open to other games had I known. Oh well, noted.
Stairs have spaces in between them. I think Anchor 9 is similar. Pretty sure you can shoot and throw nades between those.

Props for it looking amazing once they did it though.
The animations for movement in Reach are incredible. Can't wait to see 4 in motion some more.
Yup. Their animation finally made the generational leap the graphics did. Would have been nice a couple games earlier, but they hit it out of the park when they made the switch. It really puts the animation in previous games in a poor light (Halo 3 in particular looks amazingly dated in that department).
I imagine you can only shoot through the gaps, not actually throw grenades. Think it's like that only Anchor 9's stairs too, don't play that crappy map enough to be sure though.

So everyone has the AR load out and then you unlock the BR, Carbine, DMR, and finally Dual SMGs right?
Have you seen Crysis 2's animation? If you haven't i'd highly recommend it. The troops really lean into their runs and a lot of the aliens have really interesting limbs and tentacles to animate.

Yeah, watching Halo 3 on stream earlier, looked like Halo 2 with some better textures. I give Reach a lot of shit, but the way players move is just great. The way their legs cross over when strafing, the way their body weight shifts when making a sudden change in direction. You can even see it in the brief glimpses in the Halo 4 trailer. That's the kind of upgrade visually that I think only increases the quality of the game, especially spectating.

DP, but MAN some dudes on Waypoint are soooo salty about no Elites in multiplayer. One guy is like, "Fuck it, I got other games to play". Cancelling pre-orders over character skins in FPS games, aint this some shit.
Personally, I'm glad they're gone. Time/resources spent towards other important stuff, no more of these dudes with their hunched backs and wack hitboxes.

It was more than that though. They finally added detail for more things like that too, outside of mo-cap. Did you see the presentation they put out on stuff like that? I'll see if I can find it. The stuff they did for movement (walk, run, sprint, slow walk) is awesome.
Edit: Here it is. "The Animation of Halo: Reach" on this page.
Indeed. Worst part of SWAT(truthfully one of favorite playlists) in Halo 3.
Nothing worse than playing against them in MLG either. Fucking adjusting my shots for them was so annoying.

Worse than that is being forced to play a game type using ONLY Covenant weapons which is a weapon set that has severe quality-of-play issues.
Although the mag shots show them as hunched over again..
I wonder how many of those people realized that the Elite model wasn't actually helping them. Made me look like I was being an ass while playing SWAT though. But then again, people think jamming crouch in midair makes the engine drop bullet hits. I'm not going to ruin their party.

Easiest way is the matrix one. If the mind knows how to control the body then what do you really need to train as a super soldier which is already at physical peak. The mind of course.
Or the forerunner light tech is also a nice explanation..
I do wonder if we are going to see any old cast being turned into spartan 4 in the campaign.
Like the odst cast. I mean if Buck was any better he would be a spartan..
And i just want Nathan fillion in this game
Edit:Goddammit can only find shitty compressed shot of the digitals copies still looks good and Dat artwork.
And finally have a vision on how the Shield world looks like the way GI described that scene.

Ya know, as much as I love a good Halo campaign, I have yet to play ODST.
come at me bro
Playing Elite in MLG was the only point of that playlist for me
Get to it ASAP. Get some headphones or surround sound on, turn the lights down and get to it. ODST is one of my favourite campaigns, atmosphere in the game is amazing.
Nice theory, I forgot about those
Get on that. Such a great campaign.
