Everything is relative. At this point with Halo 3, we had the Et tu Brute? vidoc and the EGM pre-alpha multiplayer reveal. Personally, I prefer the 'wait until it's ready to show' approach you've taken with Halo 4.

My recollections might be fuzzy and distorted but I think Halo 3's beta and Reach's beta resulted in more info our way pre-release.
I honestly wasn't following Halo 3's pre-release too closely at the time so Google searches and GAF post history search may have coloured my thoughts a bit too much.

You promised I could defeat in a Game at HaloFest. So how should I call you good then?
OMG. OMG. By the goddess! Let Fortuna be on my side!

Oh God, just imagining this is hilarious. Someone should try to swap the audio of some random video or something.

Oh god
When I get back from visiting the zoo today I'm going to edit Spanish Flea with the proper amount of "distant sound -> getting closer -> in your face" into this old video of mine.

Haha, I remember that map. Flying that thing was so weird.
Looking forward to the video.

This one especially. God, I really hope an environment and/or a vista like that makes it in the final game. On an alien-ass shield world, damn near anything is possible. If this art is any indication, 343 is really getting creative. Love it.Speaking of concept art, I wonder if we can get better versions of the following Halo 4 pieces?
The low resolution versions make me quite sad.
Yeah, totally, that's what I expect.
Pretty sure that's Wraparound concept art. That name has to change...

Yup, it's Wraparound and yup, a horrible name.

I wonder what the layout is like, think we could use Forge to make it in Reach?
No idea what we'd name it though.

Aww, really? That's kinda disappointing. I hope a similar environment makes its way in campaign, with all those thick, flowing clouds.
And yeah, the name sucks. It should have a name that evokes heavenly, celestial images, or maybe images of a cathedral. But with some sort of menacing twist.

Yeah, something like that. Basilica or something.
Even the fact that Wraparound is one word bugs me. Combining two words works in some instances... But not this one.

lol, there's an ad for the Halo Wars demo on my Xbox Dashboard today. Why
I can't hate on a map that has a giant asshole in the middle of it.

God, did I have to be reminded of Epitaph and Isolation today?
I'd forgotten about both of them. Epitaph remains my least favorite Halo map of all time. Isolation sucked, but Epitaph was in a league of its own.
Me too, after going through the nude pics thread in OT, I couldn't help not using it!

Yup, and in one way I am glad they are taking a more reserved approach, although I think they should show just a tad more. Of course, we all want that. But yeah, I'm glad they are not spoiling the entire game like Bungie with Halo Reach.. When I found out Boneyard was essentially the environment from the end of the game I was so mad. Basically our end game vista was spoiled. With Halo 4, I really hope they stick with a few environment shots of SP, with an in game trailer similar to the concept art trailer, with just a bit more. Keep the SP mysterious. Show off the MP though, so e can continue to get hyped and understand what the game is about.
I really hope the wait isn't very long until we see something more than the small tease we got.
Eh, well honestly with Halo 3 we had seen a lot more at this point, and while it wasn't a ton, it was a ton more than what we have so far. We basically haven't seen this game in action, despite the very brief flashes of gameplay. Or, basicaly what he said:
Yup, this. Although I do wish we could a little more in content, such as gun renders, etc.
That is unbelievably amazing. Oh man, that should have stayed in the game. :lol

Remeber when Bungie said one of the reasons for removing flag juggling was the repetitions of the announcer?
Then they release this gametype into MM. This is the result

I think Requeim fits the bill but it's almost too cliché...

Their reasoning behind stopping flag juggling is BS. It's just one more thing they added to noob up halo.
Just some of the things they did with reach make no sense and make the game so much worse...

Also other mediocre/cliche names, killing field, personally I like team slayer on the van damned.
Also Bobs, suck it, you cock sucker!
Bam!
Yeah. Wraparound sounds like one of Frankie's teaser code names, not an actual map. Especially not one that gorgeous.
So the more I looked at the new BR, the more I started to really like the design. So much so, that I started modeling it:
Project is slowly coming together. I want to devote some decent amount of time to this, but my job and life keep taking up my free time, so I can only seem to get work done in short bursts.
Now that I've started looking at the smaller details in the gun, even though a decent amount of it is done via normal maps, the Halo 4 BR is definitely higher poly than the DMR was in Reach.
3ds Max? Maya? Modo?
Subdivision surface?
Show them' wires!
Gonna bake it down and texture it?
The illiterate majority of Halo players wouldn't know how to pronounce Requiem, so it can't be used.

I can't stop watching that H4 vidoc, it looks GLORIOUS!
Hope we don't have to wait too much to see more details, hopefully not six months :lol

Flag juggling must return as a default in Halo 4. IT MUST!
That was but a small snippet from the beginning of the game. He kept that up the whole game, voice din break nor nuthin.

Lol Those games were fun.
To anyone who doesn't believe it play a bunch of Halo 3 and then go to Reach. The gameplay is MUCH faster. I'm dead serious. The sprinting and evading and hitscan DMR make deaths come and go so quick, sometimes it just seems longer with certain AA's when someone does a successful escape, but a cat and mouse Doubles game of Halo 3 will truly show you the way to Reach being quick.
I noticed this when strongside or snipedown or formal perhaps was playing Halo 3 they played five games it was terrible sloppy looking MLG 7-8 shot kills dirty disgusting crap gameplay by top tier players. Then they popped in Reach and started playing on MLG Sanc CTF and holy crap was it fast paced.
