The top was concept art from the panel. The second was a fake shot supposedly of Halo 4 posted a long long time ago that was easily and quickly debunked.

What makes you say that? I've been over the clip and I can't make out anything.Toddler said:

Why are people posting confirmed fake pictures from months back? Keep that crap out of here.

So, was that worth your time?

It won't be like Reach, and it won't be like 1, 2, or 3, either. It will be a different game, and the vocal minority will be too obsessed with the past to accept it.
The title update is for the CEA playlist. They aren't going to remove bloom from regular play, and they aren't going to remove armor abilities. The Armor lock nerfing is justified, but it isn't removing armor lock.

When you live in the vocal minority echo chamber, it's going to sound like there are a lot more people around you than there really are.

Halo 2 music is incredible,just heard the title screen music on the ign stream.
I can see a very short (obviously) glimpse of what looks like the Chief's armor, mixed with the velocity effect that makes the viewers angle seem like they're traveling pretty fast towards and finally focusing then blacking out with the bright red light.Dax01 said:What makes you say that?

Check out the youtube, the higher res might help you see it.

It was ok. Would have liked maybe a new trailer or something but for what we got it was ok.
You're right about that. As much as we all want it to be our old Halo games it won't be. All we can hope for is that it keeps that vibe, has great gameplay, and is damn fun.
I thought it was great. I wish you guys had teased a little more though. I liked the music accompanying the 'Concert Art Glimpse' video but I hope that we still get a version of the Halo theme in the game. It's not a Master Chief Halo game without that iconic piece of music, in my humble opinion.lybertyboy said:

Is the writer of Glass lands ( Karen Traviss) any good?
Knowing that the books are going to be canon this time round might make me read a few of them.

Hell yeah, loved the vid.
This question is from me for the Anniversary MP panel: Stockpile achievements - Is it possible to alter achievements with a title update? Stockpile should never come back to the rotation, but it'd be nice to somehow be able to earn the final Noble achievements (You Ate All the Chips and to a lesser extent Offensive Driver, because who want to play Rocket Race).lybertyboy said:

I dunno. As vocal as groups like Halogaf are, there are probably a hundred times more that play and enjoy the game. We want to think we're the majority but we really aren't and hell even half of Halogaf loves the game for the most part.

For the most part, yes. I really enjoyed getting a good glimpse of where 343i wants to take the franchise.lybertyboy said:
Really, really enjoyed the teaser at the end.

How is that a contradiction? Are you sure you're reading it correctly?
The vocal minority is the minority of the Halo playerbase. That means that the majority of current Halo players do not belong to this group. Halo Reach is still the 3rd most popular game on Xbox Live. Reach is still extremely popular.

10 years of halo is going to be a bunch of people who work for xbox? That is kind of disappointing.

Good to hear. I stopped reading after Onix, Nylund was still a good writer but the passion seemed absent.PooBone said:

Yup. I don't get where people saying that we're hating the music get that from. It's been said that the music is nice. It just doesn't sound like Halo. There is a difference between not thinking something fits and hating it. Also I do agree that we all need to wait and see what the actual soundtrack is like before judging. However I don't see anyone writing off the Halo 4 soundtrack yet. Hell we all agree that nobody knows if that's even going to be used in Halo 4. I really think we're just getting some wires crossed here and everyone is getting upset over misunderstandings.

Needed a more thorough analysis of those toilet specs but otherwise I was quite pleased by what I heard and saw today. Now excuse me while I go analyze the last 2.5 seconds of that teaser

I think the art and the music are amazing. 343 are onto a good thing imo.

it was deconfirmed back with the fake aerospace stuff i think, it also use images from the web looks obviously fake and is in 3rd person when its been confirmed halo 4 is in 1st.
And its called Halo Nemesis, if that didnt give it away i dont know what would.
Concept Art trailer now up on Waypoint's YouTube channel.
I still can't make out what the hell they're hinting at with that quick ending.

Positives from the Panel:
+ Confirmed that the Forerunner planet is a living breathing and active place.
+ Cortana will struggle with her issues of rampancy
+ Concept art is striking and beautiful, it evokes classic Halo style.
+ Sound Effects teaser was interesting, albeit not very informative
Negatives from Panel:
- They hardly showed anything and remained extremely secretive about the whole ordeal even though they claim they have been working on it for years.
- Every interesting panel question was batted down with a non-answer.
- The music shown in the trailer was absolutely not in Halo form. I've made myself clear about this point already.
- At the end of the day, what they showed did not hype me and inspire great confidence in 343. If there was a gameplay teaser this may have been a different story. I remain skeptical until further notice.

Yup. Copy and paste tools were used a shit on those pictures too. Photoshop gaf pointed that out and it really did stand out.

That's what I thought you were referring to, but that doesn't look like the Chief's armor to me. At least, that wasn't what came to mind the first time I saw it.
