Bummer that these new enemies seem to disintegrate upon death. I like piles of corpses!
Edit: Or is it the effect of the new weapons?

So, the labels are pretty weird. It seems like there are a lot more HUD indicators in this game than previous installations.

So Spike just shows their coverage until 4, then again for Sony at 8. I don't see a Spartan Ops mention, maybe they don't have the guide right on my TV.
EDIT: Unless the 9-10 CST slot is it. Must be. Spike not showing Sony?

From Cryptum. Durances stored the last memories and thought processes of fallen warriors. Since we're fighting 'Prometheans', those 'Knights' might be durances of dead prometheans.

Vehicles seem to have specific icons in the radar now too.
Shame that they're sticking with destructible vehicles, but I'm glad that a Warthog isn't going to ignore a grenade going off underneath it anymore.best part of that clip? the fucking grenade actually hurting the hog
Ah. *Shrug*
Wait.
You're saying they're... Undead?
Well that explains the livery and the skull.
EDIT i have read Cryptum, i just don't remember any details from it.
BOO Halo!
Seriously, the footage show was amazing in every single way. Graphics, sound, atmosphere... Everything
But booooooooo
I wouldn't discount your feelings... to each his own... saying you like it centered is valid... for the couple that make it sound like it is obviously much worse not centered, and carry on like it's a terrible design decision is just foolhardy; and to then try to compare real world field of vision to what is simulated in a fixed place is beyond silly.
I'd lay pretty good money, most people don't care one way or another, but of those that do, they likely prefer it slightly lowered and STILL run around looking slightly down to better see actionable situations on maps. Particularly where there are long lines of sight, where the reticle would be an obstruction.
If it were centered and they did that, they would lose a chunk of vision.

Oh, the guy shooting at me is the Chaingun guy, k. BUT WAIT, how do I tell which one is the driver??!?? Ugh, video games are hard. :-(
343 is driving me nuts with this HUD shit.

I was hoping and praying that effect would carry over to multiplayer.

From what I could view on my phone (thanks for uploading that, Plywood), it looks really great actually. I just wanted to jump on the boo-ndwagon.
That last one has got to go. Seriously, get that shit on the side of the screen where it belongs. Please?

The forerunner shotgun looks quite a bit like unreal tournament's flak cannon, I noticed it even bounces off walls. Awesome.

Even though this MP footage is cool, we have yet to see any specializations, armor abilities, or loadouts. So I will keep my happiness in check for the moment.

Couple small things I noticed in the Campaign gameplay:
- There's a damage indicator on the reticule. It's pretty subtle.
- Grenade indicator (This was definitely more noticeable, but I thought it was pretty cool)
- There's a damage indicator on the reticule. It's pretty subtle.
- Grenade indicator (This was definitely more noticeable, but I thought it was pretty cool)
all real elements from the level but compressed into a smaller area of the map for the demo. Will have more "air" in the released version.

That's an armor ability pack on the back of a Promethean...right?
EDIT:
As it teleports away, this shows up. Assuming that this is just an early build thing. They probably used the "sprint" AA as a placeholder for something else, and kept the entire art asset pack together for some reason.
YES!

What that tells me is that the core game is going to be awesome regardless. It's a good thing.
With Reach, bloom kind of ruined the core game.

Do the QTEs "cinematic" stuff play out the exact same way every time? Because that always does wonders for replay value, especially in Halo campaigns where the sandbox and level design is suppose to make it a varied experience.
Makes sense, a lot of stage demos do this.
Heck, even Skyrim's long dungeon demo compressed the place to a highlight tour.
Looking spectacular. More coherent thoughts later, gotta tune back into work.

Lol, yep.
OMG did you see how easy it was to destroy that warthog? So f'ing good.
Assuming that warthog didn't sustain damage from before then it looks like the warthog will be balanced... Defensively at least.

They have the hard light shield, so it makes some sense, at least.

I don't like them either. I'm also not a fan of the way the MP announcer says overkill.

I think you're being too hard on the guy for bringing up real life; it was in response to saying lowered crosshairs "make more sense" and in the video game sense that's about how intuitive it is, and when you're going against what every other game does in that regard it ends up being counter-intuitive to me. So let's just drop that angle.
Don't really want to touch the generalizing there either, but I don't speak for anyone but myself when I agree with BigShow's crosshair qualms. I think it's particularly worsened because of weapon sizes and placement on the screen, where visibility to the right of the crosshair is hindered because of it. That's just me though, whenever I get back into Halo I have to actively readjust myself to its specific crosshair quirk.

I think it's great that the only things people seem to be complaining about are aesthetics.

Yeah, there's no way they're final. I hope.
Me too. Was the best part of the desing along with green ammo counter. Hated the blue counter in Halo Reach.

We saw hardlight shield for a second, and it seemed to be fine.
Anyway, all that I know is that the core gameplay (Stripped of armor abilities and such) looks EXCELLENT, and that's good enough for me.
