I didn't say it wasn't noticeable, read my other posts. I said the difference doesn't really matter. If I could have 60fps in Halo 4 and keep the visuals as they are would I? Probably, but as it stands it doesn't need it.

I wasn't arguing, I was clearing something up.

Man I have got to say, Halo 4 really did clean up well over the past months. From the Spring showcase, to Conan, to the latest weapon vid. Look at stuff like his hand and how improved the modeling is. Everything is defintely much improved. Clean, crisp and sexy. I like it.
And this is why your argument sucks. We throw real data into the mix, but your argument revolves around "I can't tell the difference, so it doesn't matter". Get it now?

Yeah, you can tell they really polished up that middle of the screen text 
Those are some good comparison shots. One thing that might need some improvement is how opaque the HUD elements are. The guns/ammo counter could be a bit more visible.
Like a really fast toggle? That's great if so, I loved active roster and not having to look at the xbox guide but I didn't like the list always being there.
edit- had quoted Ghal by mistake

The hands were definitely pretty chunky and angular at the start. Glad to see that kind of stuff was fixed.
I'd love to see a behind the scenes look at the different iterations of the various maps and weapons. Just to see how they gradually improved over time.

I really hope the new Active Roster also shows the people on your friends list that are online, but not on Halo at the moment. Like in Gears 3. That way I can still invite them without having to bring the slow-ass guide up

Yeah, they have it separated into people who are on Gears, and people who aren't, and what they're doing exactly(Ranked match on Checkout, searching, private Horde, etc). I wouldn't mind that change at all.

I know I can't be the only one who misses the Bonus DVD we got with Halo 2's SEXY Limited Edition ;]
I miss that kinda quality for a Behind the Scenes and a developers documentary about the making of a game..
So what you're saying is that their skill occurs in two dimensions simultaneously...my god get this man a book deal.
(never open my box, I don't want to remove any doubt)

I think you will be happy with what they have done then.

I know right? Who didn't love that sound test feature? Good times.
Saber Interactive made CEA though. The lobby system was made to emulate Reach's.
Well the MP section was a budget version of Reach, so it was already built in.
No, I mean the Campaign section.

Yeah think of it like Blops or Gears 3. An in-game friends list, no pulling up the guide.
This is just based on what we've heard about it, we haven't actually seen it in action.
Yeah it did. I don't know if it was the same as reach's or if it was tweaked to show anybody playing cea or reach, but it was definitely there.

Natural selection should weed out this unfavourable mutation. Or at least ensure the offspring can't breed.

Plenty to see:
It'd be nice if they could push the HUD elements out to the extreme sides of the screen, but I believe there's some sort of Microsoft requirement for where things can be.
Safe Area like in COD would be nice. That way I could push the HUD all the way to the edges.
Pro pipe would never go for a fat chick. He's too alpha.

Adrift still looks a little too dark to me
Which sucks, I loved that the map had the starry skybox and the Mech being built.

What are the weapons in the bottom two screens?

It still remains my favorite documentary. I'm amazed Bungie packaged such an in-depth look at the making of Halo 2 -- including the tragic moments -- with the game.
Think about it. In a nutshell, Bungie came out and said, "We failed to deliver on most of our plans for the game, and we had to lob off the ending to meet a strict deadline." And they said this the day the game launched. That's unheard of, and my respect for Bungie was never higher.
The Saw and Railgun, munkey.
When the map detects the GT "jelyk" the Mech wakes up and starts breakdancing and then a slipspace portal tears the sky open and fiery debris rains down on every corner of the map.

The fuck is a saw? Like an HMG?
I would pay to see that.
And it only cost 5$ more.
One button, no guide needed, instant access from anywhere in the main UI. It's nice and VERY fast.

There still is a starry skybox if I'm not mistaken.
But yeah would have been neat for at least the Mech to have sparks coming out of the building pieces to show that it was once functional.
I'd also like to see a bit more florescent lighting to help brighten it up but still maintain a creepy feeling.

Watch it. Then read the bulletin. Or the other way round.
Oh my indeed. ;-)
Did you see the new video already? Halo 4 UNSC Weapons.
Boiiiiinnnngggggg

It is pretty amazing and still entertaining to watch. I wished and hoped for that Halo: Reach or Halo 4 would get such a in-depth documentary about their development. Unfortunately not going to happen how it looks like atm.
Off-Topic: But I am finally going to see Prometheus today. I am kinda excited...
