Yup, it's an incredible sequence. Almost wordless, it collides multiple character arcs and resolves the entire story almost entirely through action. Gorgeously filmed, heartbreakingly well acted, perfectly scored action. It's ten minutes were I have to remind myself to breathe.
Tashi, Dax: go watch. Not the clip (which is the ending of the film), but the movie. Seriously.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
True story, my family vacationed at Chimney Rock, NC when I was around 10. The first time I watched Last of the Mohicans, I freaked out over the whole last sequence because we have home movies of us running around those same areas, including the waterfall.

WOULD.
That was filmed near Chimney Rock? I go there every summer. Absolutely gorgeous. (I haven't watched The Last of the Mohicans yet.)

I hope 343 isn't teasing/trolling us with that image. Cause I wanna roam that place so much right now.
You're information explosion makes me think about something else though, will Halo 4 keep the normal campaign structure of 11 to 15 "levels" or will 343 put their own spin on it?

Says he did it on Easy, I doubt it would take as long on a harder difficulty level, and I get the feeling you would need to be on a harder difficulty level to get it.
Had a quick google:
Seems a bit too crazy lol!
Would be impressive if the 360 had enough horsepower to actually make a giant vista like that 100% traversible. Maybe with a few cleverly placed load walls...
ZING!
I want to work at 343 making things in 3d to explore, like big/awesome/amazing environments.
I don't think we've released concept art that isn't related to or literally an environment you'll explore.

Murray advances. Aww yeah
I am Fighting March Madness til April.
You shut your whore mouth!Black Ops had some brilliant maps, Jungle and Firing Range are both easily on par with, or better than Nuketown. I think Nuketown was popular because of the type of crazy play such a small map allowed, but if was far from being the best map in the game. Never mind the only good map.
EDIT: It would be nice to have playlist specific double exp weekends though. I wouldn't even care about the double exp. If they had a map like the Pit on constant rotation I would play the hell out of it for those two days lol.
I really miss having something similar to Double XP weekends in Reach. It was awesome having both Double XP and having something new to play each weekend.
It's too bad Bungie didn't do something similar (super jackpot weekends is half of what I'm talking about). I wonder if something like that was in Shishka's plans before he went to 343?
awesome!

In that case, I hope 343 let's us explore these area's without the need to shoot stuff first.
Which brings me to the point that I wanted to make about the beginning of Halo 4, I wonder how long we get in wallow in our surroundings before we face our first enemy.

We'll see how that translates in-game.

It does it to me too, it launches the Reach mp suite from the disc.

Not just you. I think it only happens with Quickplay, go to Game Library and there should be a normal Reach option.
Here's my idea for Halo 4's playlist set-up. Instead of choosing one playlist from among nearly 20 other playlists, there are only 5 playlists: Squad (4v4, 5v5)) , BTB, FFA, Firefight, and Action Sack. However, once you pick a playlist, a stylized checklist pops up with a sort of parameters for each sort of playlist. These parameters would essentially let the player pick and choose specifically what they want to play.
Lets say you want to play Team Objective. You'd select the Squad playlist and the checklist with about 5 options pops up. By default, "Slayer" and "Bomb/Flag Objective" are highlighted. First, we have to deselect the "Slayer" option to get the classic objective experience. Since you feel like expanding your horizons, you can highlight "Hill/Territory Objective" to allow for gametypes such as Territories and KotH to be searched for.
Bam, a lot less cluttered than Reach and allows for an experience catered specifically for each player.

And you just watched that scene?

Unfortunately I don't think clutter was the problem; the problem was that the number of playlists thinned them out as a whole. Your idea is good as far as organization, but when you start choosing specifics it may be pretty hard to find what you're looking for. For custom games that may work pretty well though.
Joking aside though, I think we need to be pessimistic to some degree. Sparths artwork on Rage, Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia and others have really translated well. Then again, all those games had strong engines that did some amazing things. We have yet to see what Halo 4 engine is capable of, but I'm optimistic (and pessimisitc at the same time), that it will be awesome.

I'm just trying to control my expectations as best I can.
Last time my mind was given too much room and hope, so I was badly burned with Halo 3.
Before people attack me, there's a lot I love about it!

I over hyped H2, played it at a launch night LAN and hated it.
I suggested we play some H1 and my friends literally threw food/food wrappers at me.

I didn't have XBL so I really liked the campaign, I remember squealing like a little girl when they had Hoobastank when you are in the banshee going on.
Speaking of which I'll try and do or at least organize a decent size Michigan Halo 4 LAN after the launch.
Frankie, care to comment on your supposed comment about the campaign in this article:

I'd rather hear directly from you than assume multiplayer, forge, theater, etc.. share the other "50%" of the work.

Good point. That's something I just though of when I was writing this. What if a player only selects "Hill/Territory" games. There'd be what, like ten other people who'd he be able to play with?

I did like the campaign, i was talking about the MP on LAN.
The derp spread BR, firecracker nades and 6 hit melee just really put me off.
I'm down.

True. I didn't mean to bring that into a negative light. This just could mean the campaign is going to be HUGE. Which would be awesome.
I wonder how it compares to Halo 3 or Reach's in terms of size and scope.

Frankie being frank about Frank.
I believe that I liked what I heard about his speculation/hope.
