Really? Campaign!?

No, I mean in theater you can only have one person. Like Reach, not 3. There is no Campaign Theater.

Have they said they'll be increasing player speed/lowering inertia for quicker strafes?

Halo CE pistol wasn't hitscan though.

They showed video

 

[PooBone]

Wat? Is this real?

Why are Chief's arms so skinny?

LOL! Please tell me this was a serious question. LOFUCKINL!!!!

 

[TacticalFox88]

This is awesome. I'm glad Halo still has it's roots intact instead of being infected by COD syndrome of other shooters

 

[PNut]

Forward Unto Dawn has you covered. =)

Thank you for this! Just what I was looking for! Catching up now.

 

[Slightly Live]

forward unto dawn is DOWN.

SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Are the marines in Firefight Halo 1 marines or Reach marines?
Is Headlong confirmed?

We're back up. Only lasted a minute.

All questions should be answered there. =)

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Man and this is only ONE panel.

 

[daedalius]

They showed video

Oh, well then. Should be fine, will be interesting for sure.

Which video? One of the flythroughs?

 

[blamite]

Wait,are these new halo maps only for anniversary or will they be map packs for reach too?

They'll be Anniversary-exclusive at first, although I believe Frankie has said they'll be released as standard DLC soon after. Sooner than ODSTs maps went to the Marketplace, at least.

Halo 4 panel will literately blow up minds confirmed.

You are my source for all the news. Great work man. Much appreciated as always.

It was one of the original Damnation gameplays, the one where they first showed bloom-less play

 

[Blinding]

When was it ever in Halo 3?

It wasn't, that was the first game to not have it enabled over Live though.

 

[daedalius]

Man, playing this and Space Marine at the same time is going to be rough, I still get my buttons mixed up.

 

[PseudoKirby]

damn, everything happens on the west coast, why did I move to Iowa...

Gotta say, wasn't impressed with the campaign graphics but the multiplayer maps look swell.

I still don't like the Chief's Halo 4 armor.

Really? I don't remember seeing any campaign footage. Unless you're talking about that firefight map.

Confused about the ff map, because won't that all be done in Reach?

Oh its you.

We already know you hate CEA so...

I am definitely liking the graphics, especially the cutscene on 343GS. The swamp looked a bit too green, but not terrible.

Really? I'm not digging the redesign. It'll be interesting to hear his Mjolnir armor gets modified.

Well yes and no, you can access the multiplayer maps and that firefight map through the Anniversary disc, but ONLY those new maps, not the rest of Reach MP.

Via Reach you can access the maps too. I assume the new FF map is just a broken out map if you access it via the Reach disc.

I had a funny gif, but I thought about it and I actually *sort of* agree? I wish 343 was foggier than it is now.

They showed about ten minutes of footage from 343 Guilty Spark. Maybe you missed that part of the panel?

Looks the same as always except the chest and that he is skinny.

Yeah, they showed off 10 minutes or so of campaign, there's also a video on IGN in case you missed it.

You can decide yourself but I was much more impressed with Prisoner and Battle Creek. They looked fantastic.

Is it just me, or is the helmet redesigned too?

Eh... I really need to see the in-game model. Not this costumed dude.

At the end.

I think it looks fantastic. Especially Chief.

Edit: Actually, I do have a small gripe. CEA is a bit too rich for me. Maybe I'll dumb the color down on my TV just a bit.

Did any prominent Bungie employees who worked on the other main Halo games leave to work on Halo 4?

I can't see any of the panel. I am trying to pull info from threads and such. It's difficult. Only video I've seen is of the behind the scenes multiplayer stuff.

It's the campaign level of Guilty Spark.

I think Waypoint or IGN will be uploading it to youtube very shortly. Sorry :/

I'll try and post it if I see it.

Halo 4 Chief.

http://hotproxy02.twitpic.com/photos/large/382236119.jpg

Yeah, I know it's not in-game and what not, and it'll look better in-game, but still...that's not a pretty sight.

 

[feel]

Just watched the CEA mp behind the scenes... the maps look insane!!!

Hating the focus on improved Reach instead of Classic though... It's starting to seem to me that even on the Anniversary disc, Reach 2.0 will be the main focus in the playlist selection menu while Classic will be just a low populated playlist at the bottom of the menu unnoticed by most :/

 

[clav]

343 should default the playlist to Classic when Anniversary disk is inserted.

All they have to say is Halo 1 Pistol and people will come flocking. I think they will be pretty evenly spread out. I'm personally looking forward to both playlists very much.

I'd love this. But we know it won't happen.

I saw Halo 1 Pistol in that video and I almost jumped out of my chair at work. So good.

By leaps and bounds the worst looking Chief armor so far. Good lord, please revisit this before it's too late 343. :-(

EDIT: OMG, now I know where 343 comes from. 7 x 7 x 7

 

[blamite]

How so?

Looks like it may be from rather late in the Terminal story. It's hard to tell, exactly, but it seems like something you might not want to see if you want the Terminals to be fresh when you start playing.

In fact, I don't think i want to see any more terminal footage. I feel like I've seen enough to know they're gonna be cool, any the rest should be a surprise. Unfortunately, I'll watch anything 343 puts out, so I'm kind of doomed to be spoiled. >.>

To be fair that's a toy pic of the chief. Lets wait for in game pics.
