Armor Customization List:
Helmet
Chest
Left Shoulder
Right Shoulder
Arms
Legs

And it looks like you'll be given a Spartan number along with your four-digit callout in Spartan Ops.

We should be getting a bunch of multiplayer info tomorrow, right?

so now that E3 is on the floodgates open, right?
So, five missions x 5 episodes, delivered over 5 weeks?
no.
Haven't seen WD yet. Gonna check it out. Saw the Last of Us demo and everyone's reaction pretty much confirms that QTE and scripted events down exceedingly linear paths are the future many want. It was an interesting take on scripted events to make them contextual though. I guess.
SW was laughable. Splinter Cell was killed before my eyes.
I silently wept for gaming. (Not that dramatic, but damn. Nintendo, come on. Save us!)
FC3 has swagger.

I'm curious as to how long these SpOps missions are.
If they're "missions" in the traditional sense, we're looking at a HELL of a lot of gameplay here, people.

15 minutes plus, depending on difficulty
But it's no more linear and scripted than Halo...

So about an hour and 15 minutes of new Halo per week.
Ah ok, that answered my question.
I kinda ssumed that, but the way it was worded confused me. I can't complain about 5 missions on top of Campaign that looks gorgeous.
343 hit it out of the park today. Let's hope that the MP stuff tomorrow follows this trend.
Frankie just said one mission per week over 5 weeks (5 TOTAL), right?
Frankie, if this game has 4 player splitscreen co-op, you could take game of the forever.
Think about that for a second. Game of the Forever. Your so close.
I sincerely hope y'all have us splitscreen bros in mind when it comes to Spartan Ops and beyond with Halo 4, as you have had in the past.

So each "mission" could be thought of as one of the traditional goals in a Halo level, kind of?
"Defend this LZ," "Gather this intel," stuff like that?

Noice.
Hasn't 4 player co-op splitscreen for campaign at least been confirmed? I'd assume Spartan Ops has the same 4 player split screen.
Nope (see above)

It kinda looks like the Scattershot has an EMP effect, but it might be something else off-screen.

I like that menu.
This is what we need. Either actually.. but a vidoc would be most appreciated.
I really want to understand how:
1) Spartan Ops is different from Firefight
2) How it is different from a Campaign mission
Not structurally - I get the narrative rich, episodic nature of it. But in terms of gameplay. Game starts and....what?
The GTTV thing provided no indication of what the mode is about, other than 1) episodic) 2) co-operative and 3) story-focused.
Which we knew.

Pretty fucking awesome multiplayer will feature the disintegration effect with kills.

What kind of witchcraft are the folks at 343 using to generate that much content for one game?
To put it in kylejspeak: How do they have enough resources for that????

Perhaps in progression but obviously not in confrontation, where the actual gameplay happens.
thats what i'm confused by. if there is still campaign co-op, why bother basically doing a stand alone episodic mini campaign co-op mode?
I'd rather have more than 10 maps :/ I'm hoping Spartan Ops doesn't turn into Firefight but with slightly larger environments. It could be very cool though, hoping it adds as much to the game as something like RE4's Mercenaries mode.

One thing we can take away from the campaign demo is that Halo 4's campaign looks to be in the same vein as Halo 1-3 and not an evolution of ODST's hubworld.

Are the missions released individually or is it just a whole episode released each week?
Was this posted yet? I haven't seen it anywhere. Slightly better view of some new armor, the one in the center looks like a version of Halo 3's Scout helmet.
It's from this site, which also has some neat 3D models of stuff and comm chatter from the Infinity.

I don't really know how you could get that from the demo at all. Yeah that part was linear but we are on a giant planet. I think it's still very possible for there to be some kind of hub world in this.
Just a few thoughts on the day:
The campaign demo was awesome. Just beautiful and honestly that's about all I need to see out of the campaign until Nov. It's looking good and that's all i need to know.
I would like to see more Wargames and Spartan ops, that 'exulsive' bit on Spartan Ops wasn't much so hopefully we get to see more.
-Also, Frank what was that comment a day ago about we'll have choices to make?

Anyone doing a running list of armor pieces we've seen thus far?
Presumably we'll see the rest of the sets too for those we've only seen helmets for thus far.
- Head (Warrior, Soldier, Scout, Locus, Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Chest (Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Left Shoulder (Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Right Soldier (Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Arms (Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Legs (Venator, Gungnir, Cio, Deadeye, Hazop, Oceanic)
- Visor

Am I wrong in seeing that each Spartan Ops mission (the 15 minutes Frankie just mentioned) is like a small chunk of a full campaign level? that was my impression. Then each full episode, (over an hour long) is like a full campaign level. That's how I saw it.
Is that wrong?
