Nice catch. Smallish, isn't it? Just hope there are 2-3 good BTB maps.

10 is only referring to non forge maps/environment.

Yeah, I'm getting the CE. Waiting for my local gamestore to put it up, and then I'll preorder it.

It is really understandable that people feel that this was scripted a bit too much, because it was. The thing about it though is that you cant really show sandbox elements in such a short time, which is needed actually to be more a hype trailer then an actual walkthrough.
What they showed clearly show a very much Halo like structure in gameplay and design but having their own stamp on it. The sandbox steels feels intact and you can clearly see when playing that you will have more options.

As long as there are more "usable" maps at ship than Reach.
Looking at you, Zealot, Spire, and Boneyard.
As long as there is 10 maps I'm fine and not milk it like Bungie did with Forge.
Zealot a good map.
Zealot a good map.

That's what I figured. With a distinct, vibrant Forge palette, those launch Forge maps will be amazing. #believe
Say what now?

I wasn't disappointed, it's something I mentioned as a point of concern but I'm sure that's just because it's in a heavy story point for the game. I'm not too worried but I would like to see some campaign gameplay with vehicles in an open area.

Hopefully it's 10 actual dev maps.
^^Good to hear.
I don't think anyone understands what you meant by the decision.
So... at least 11 maps, with one being Forge Envinroment. Unless all/some of the maps work as Forge "worlds" as well, allowing variants.
Good to hear, 10 doesn't sound so bad now.
Objective is 5v5 though.

I know. I'm just saying.
Spire and boneyard I can agree with but zealot? I thought it was one of the better on disc maps.

10 maps. Like I said. Awesome Barlow is going to be disappointed. At least it will be 10 good maps.
What the what?

Ubisoft's conference immediately overclassed Microsoft's in the shittyness department, and it's only been going on for two minutes.
Well played, Ubisoft.
Huh, Aisha Tyler is hosting.

Yep, take the outer space portion out and it's a good map.
I actually don't mind it as much without the low-grav area. Was actually going to leave that out.
It took quite a while before people were prevented from camping the top though.

Hopefully they are just saying they are environments for forging instead of also trying to pass of the default layout as actual maps for the game.
Was about to say wut, then I saw your email tag lol.

The Good
+ The atmosphere and graphical fidelity were gasp-worthy.
+ New weapon animations (particularly Forerunner weapons) made me feel powerful just from observing the gameplay.
+ The alien music made me feel like I was watching the direct sequel to Halo: CE.
+ The Warthog looked and sounded like it was a heavy piece of machinery. Hopefully no more floaty vehicle physics.
The Questionable
? The blue enemies from the sizzle reel reminded me of the flying bad guys from Borderlands.
? Several moments that appeared to be QTEs. (It would be amazing if they only happened because you were surprised. If the second time you played through the game and knew what was going to happen, you could kill them before they reached you.)
The Bad
- No campaign vehicle footage.
- It was over too soon.

Maybe there are multiple maps within different environments. Like that snow map we saw could have a BTB map set in that area and a totally different arena map in that same area.

Same.
I got this kind of vibe
from this:

Seeing them side by side though, holy shit 4 looks awesome.
Halo 3 looks good still, though. IMO. Of these pics, i prefer Halo 3's looks actually, slightly colder colors and cleaner HUD (Halo 4 HUD seems to have something in the middle, or is it mist?) are slightly better.

Lol, Ubisoft sex scene. You guys are missing out. :lol
Yeah, I know.. and after seeing all the awesomeness that was today... I will not complain. I'm just a sucker for maps... I'd buy another 50 if they released them.
Also, Far Cry 3.. naked womenz. Edit: Blueninja'd

Speaking of catching up to Far Cry, I hope the next Halo trailer shows some Cortana nipples like the Far Cry 3 trailer just did.

Great so you are confirming H4 will include a bunch of pre-made Forge stinkers like Uncaged?

The more I think about it, the less I like the enemy art. Gameplay potential looks fantastic though.
