No, a youtube video of offscreen gameplay
:lol
Also, that icon looks like Rockets but I can see the similarities to the Brute Shot. Speaking of which, have we any reason to see Brutes ever again?

I thought they said this in regards to 'Vanilla Reach' specifically. But I guess we will find out soon enough. DMR as a pickup would be fine with me; as it would have a very specific niche on the battlefield with its 3x scope and no recoil.

It's weird. The Youtube viewcount on the Game Informer stuff seems surprisingly low.
Victim of the leaks? Or just traditional old Youtube stats being unreliable?

I see what you did there
^ I'd almost defiitely say the latter
The Waypoit video only had 7 views when Krow went to watch it on the 360. An alternate source had 5.I see what you did there
Haha, I originally had "Concert" instead of Concern. I try to sneak a tone of puns into all of my posts, but sometimes it's just too much treble.

So when is the Neil Davidge vs Marty 1v1 cage match? Inquiring minds want to know who's worse.
LOL
Music sounds ok, Marty's tunes were a HUGE part of what made me fall in love with the franchise in the first place, I won't be easily swayed in that department.
The AR has to be the goofiest looking gun design in the history of guns, real or fake. Shoulda stuck with the Reach one, looked a lot better than Bungie's original design. Doesn't matter anyways, I'll never have to have it in my hands ever again, that is one thing I can get excited about.

I see what you are saying now.
Unfortunately I doubt that version is big enough to utilize for my needs.

The compass will be totally redundant on it if 343 gives everyone waypoints to the weapons!

For all I care, a few Brute Choppers stolen by Jackals are all I need.
Maybe. They probably still don't like humans.
Man I hope the chopper is back. Also, wonder if the water tanks on the warthog play any role in gameplay...
He's great!

So much Halo 4 information in one day. Can every day be like today?
They looked more like Fuel tanks. Since, you know, there aren't any fuel sources on the planet.
And cross mapping and pinging other players.
Would be a different matter if it was a map pickup rather than everyone starting with it. I am not fond of the cross-mapping ability of the DMR currently either.

I took it as if there is bloom, it will be functionally different than Reach's.
With our ability to choose starting weapons in 4, I seriously doubt that the DMR will be a pickup. You'll be able to start with it.

Hellz no!
I thought we learned a long time ago they ran off water? Back in the forza feature days...
Hopefully I can shoot it and make a grand explosion.

I hate to hear that Marty's work is not going to be expanded upon. That said, I really enjoyed what I've heard from the new team. I just hope it does not sound too electric. I am really excited to hear this soundtrack though!
Is this clip a final cut?

How would it be a different matter? Whether or not it's a pick-up, it'd still be able to cross-map people. Besides, it looks like the DMR will be a starting weapon...so no 3x zoom, please. I'd be fine with a longer range than the BR.

I thought Forerunner..........
Doesn't sound like it. Feels very much like an abridged, radio edit version
It's just a sample.

Yeah, sorry, I guess I mean final mix.
So I am correct in believing that it is not the final mix?

I'm guessing it's going to have better zoom than the BR but hopefully with an ass-slow firing rate. If it fires much slower than the BR and if player speed is increased I think that would reduce some of the long-range issues that the DMR introduced into Reach's BTB. Map design also plays a big role and for all we know there could be PerkBees that deflect bullets when they are fired from too far away.

I don't think it is Forerunners...if you read the lore it wouldn't sound like it at least. >__>
Correct - it's a mashup of two separate pieces to show two different tones. Both are taken from 80% mixes. I don't think we have a single 100% mixed track, period.
Wasn't it confirmed that the chopper was back? I remember seeing Halo 4 toys with the chopper.
I'd personally like to see the DMRs range kept the same but give it an almost unbearably slow fire rate. That way, sure you can be hit from long distances, but you've got enough time to destabilise their scope with a volley of BR fire.
I think reducing the range would bring it too close to the BR and the other carbines in the game, and keeping it as we saw it in Reach risks destabilising the sandbox.
So similar to yourself except swap Japanese for Scottish?
Does GI have any important videos, like say, a MP match, or a video dedicated to MP?
I almost hope the only difference between the BR/DMR is burst/single shot. It's almost completely hopeless to try and balance weapons that everyone can pick at the start of a game. One of them is always going to end up being the best...

Ok cool, I didn't think you would have already gotten a final mix this far before release. I'm looking forward to this soundtrack.
Also, you would cut it off and switch tracks right before what sounded like an awesome horn part. haha

I friggin wish, I'm trying to convince my two buddies that this going is going in be insanely awesome (I'm forever hopeful and take 343i's word for it that it feels like Halo) but they keep saying "we're not judging it until we see multiplayer gameplay" (The correct stance to take I presume)... I wish I wasn't so excited this early

For all you Twitter peeps, Neil Davidge and Sotaro Tojima are on Twitter. This brings the number of people I'm following to 117. Sick.

Yea...I'm not hyped at all anymore until I see some further details on the new MP offerings. It may feel like Halo, but at this point, the stuff I've read doesn't sound like Halo.
I want nothing more than to be wrong, but I will keep my hype in check so that I don't become so bitter towards the game/company like I did with Reach.
Would love to see some Brute choppers, no reason they couldn't be in multiplayer since it is a virtual simulation

Did he really say "I just wanna ... kiss him" at the end?
I like that "Awakening" track.

Update was pretty weak, after the GI article I was hoping for some clarifications.
I have found that odd, I wonder what why.
I guess from hearing his work in the past as part of TV theme tunes or adverts I like Neil Davidge, (never knew that until people posted the music he's done, which I recognise from Luther and some other stuff) seems quite far removed from Halo, but I cant wait to see what he does, the reveal trailer and art trailer was good and no doubt he can make something great. If it wasnt for those trailers I would be pretty worried, but in a way he has already showed off some of his Halo work.
I did just listen to the new sample music put out, and it didn't do anything for me, I will re listen when im not just tired from work though.
