[Halo Italy]

I want gif !!!!!!

 

[DopeyFish]

More auto pick-up.

*starts bashing head against closest sharp object*

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Oh 343 you know just how to appeal to old Halo 3 disappointed me with that narrative/plot implication video. Noms. Chief & Cortana goodness.

Bomb throw comparable to a grenade throw, what?!

That.. again worries me. Such a focus on speeding up the game pace...

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hammer packs a punch.

Sword takes ball upon kill automatically.

 

[Der Flatulator]

At this point, I think we should consider a spoiler thread (or maybe a little later). I'm personally not that bothered by spoilers in this thread (as long as they're tagged), but there are people that are.

Perhaps a good time for a spoiler code. All Halo 4 Campaign spoilers must be spoiler tagged?

 

[Devolution]

Need a couple more for 4v4 or objective.

 

[Tashi]

Ok, long toss in Oddball sounds super fucking cool. A nice addition to mix up the gametype. Sounds like it could be abused but I'm hoping for the best lol

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

New FUD teaser.

[Demoncarnotaur]

New FUD teaser.

Wow, they are really stacking on the good stuff.. I wonder what they will end with? I thought for sure we would see more than one new MP map, so maybe a MP trailer?

Cortana looks

Spoiler

super solid

at 10:26.

Spoiler

Like not a hologram, solid

I don't know, look at the screen Dax posted a few posts below yours, I think she just looks like that now.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Was there anything even spoilerish in that ViDoc. Master Chief and Cortana exist, Cortana is going crazy, there are some military looking humans in the game. Same as you knew months ago.

 

[User 73706]

This would be an amazing BAIL OUT gif.

 

[Ken]

Black Ghost or just funny lighting.

The only thing I'd consider a bit of a spoiler is

, but it seems to be from really early in the game.

, but it seems to be from really early in the game.

Well

Spoiler

near the end he meets Halsey

 

[Rickenslacker]

Helmet looked dumb, but the rest of the original Chief looks better than the final product IMO.

 

[mhi]

Can't wait to toss oddball out of the map. Just like Halo 2 baby.

 

[Aggrotek]

Ok I couldn't stay away after watching this. Holy fucking shit balls. I got goosebumps the whole video. So hyped.



Edit: Also Kiki is super pretty. :3

 

[ArchedThunder]

So what happened to seeing a new forge environment?

 

[kylej]

I think the campaign looks really good and the multiplayer looks really bad.

I'm not used to this.

 

[NullPointer]

First thought when I saw this: "You need clothes, Cortana."

She is beyond the need for such notions.

Let it all hang out.

 

[Computron]

[spoiler]Am I doing it right?[/spoiler]

Now that is one convoluted ass way to [plain][/plain].

A+ for effort and cleverness.

 

[Tashi]

Apparently HaloGAF got a shoutout. I hope you nerds cheered loudly! hahaha I know I would have.

 

[Poker Face]

REALLY happy with all the info we got. I was already pretty excited for the campaign this just adds hype.....

but wheres mah rankin system infozzzzzzz

 

[The Librarian]

Panel closes with a HaloGAF shout out.

Fantastic! Thanks, 343. And thank you, Tweetfu, for keeping us updated.

 

[blamite]

Well

Spoiler

near the end he meets Halsey

Ah, didn't notice that part somehow. Yeah, that's something.

 

[Kuroyume]

Steve Downes talking about how Master chief had emotional progression through the first three games had me rolling my eyes.

Other than that the Vidoc was pretty awesome. 343's art team wipes the floor with the guys at Bungie. Other than some dumb looking helmets everything looks freaking great.

 

[ArchedThunder]

REALLY happy with all the info we got. I was already pretty excited for the campaign this just adds hype.....

but wheres mah rankin system infozzzzzzz

We already know the ranking system. It's just EXP.

 

[Holiday]

Whew. I'm glad we got all that Grifball info! The lack of it was burning me alive. I would have hated for that time to be spent on classic gametypes or weapon balance or other boring stuff.

Interesting shot from the ViDoc:

Are they in Space? Somewhere cold?

The actress who plays Cortana is super pretty.

[kylej]

I'm glad 343 seems to be capitalizing on Halo's story potential. Always thought Bungie had the most boring and shallow cinematics/story arcs ever in their campaigns. Art looks much better too. I think this is the first Halo campaign since CE that I actually want to play, usually I just want to jump into multiplayer immediately.

Also Cortana looks really good.

 

[Flipyap]

This picture is bumming me out. The Prom Knights used to look really interesting and even vaguely Forerunner-ish (minus the stupid Decepticon monster robot face). This actually looks like something that was designed for a specific purpose, like something you would mass produce and put in storage.
They had such a cool, weird design and they somehow ended up with the Spawn-faced Doom 3 demon bot with Rayman limbs? I just don't get it.

First thought when I saw this: "You need clothes, Cortana."

I was thinking the same thing. The realistic nakedness does not fit well with her new fragile, victim-like demeanor. It looks creepy in a way that doesn't seem like it was intended.
She also looks a bit like an airhead, making her scenes appear a bit too porny. Probably for the first time, which is an achievement for a character whose butt crack was on full display since the franchise's inception.

wat. She looks like a sexy chick, which is what she's supposed to look like. Halo is a space opera not super dark and serious.
