Halo 4 - Media blow out #1

Last week a few chosen journalist had the opportunity to play Halo 4 in Seattle. Those played a couple of campaign levels, some Spartan Ops and Halo 4's multiplayer "Wargames". Expect new footage of every aspect.
If you do not want to see some stuff from the campaign, then [insert your favorite bailout.gif]

Today's GametrailersTV showcased new campaign and Spartan Ops footage, unveiled a new map called "Solace" which was designed for the competitive use in mind. Even a new multiplayer gametype was shown. Dominion is a large scale team oriented gametype where players try to capture bases. If your team have captured the base, the base will get fortified and drop some resupply for your team.

Don't see why. This looks like the same formula the series has had for the longest, except it looks better.

Wait, from the polygon preview, Spartan Ops/vehicle spoilers:
"While 343i gave a taste of Spartan Ops at E3, this time they showed off a more vehicle oriented skirmish scenario called "Land Grab" that ultimately climaxed in three Scarab tanks bombarding Covenant positions with plasma explosions"
Are we talking Scarabs Scarabs here or did they confuse vehicles? That sounds too awesome to be true.

Also why does Bungie insist on trying to seduce me with holograms?
