"JAGGIES"

They look great. Looks like they want a grittier look which makes me think they're going full 80's sci-fi with this

[tci]

First Halo to peek my interest since the original. 2 and 3 had terrible campaigns. The rest I didn't bother with.

Will follow this and might pick it up if the campaign looks promising.

[blamite]

More Halo, yawn. Looks just like Reach, which looked just like Halo 3, which looked just like 2, which looked just like CE.

Looks fantastic, cannot wait. Master Chief looks great and I'm finally just beginning to warm up to the Spartan IV designs. Also Cortana is looking more naked than ever, hence the carful framing in her two screenshots. :P

[szaromir]

I prefer Covenant design in Reach tbh. Ah well, it's all about Forerunners anyway.

I never cared much for Halo campaigns before ODST and Reach. Those two games are great.

Visuals in 4 are looking damn nice. Elites face looks busted though.

[Kaako]

They should have made Cortana thicker.

[Zeouterlimits]

Cortana, Chief look amazing!
Environments look "good".

Elites, I don't like.
Grunts look god awful. Absolutely terrible.

[dosh]

I don't think he's responsible for chara design. he's a man of vision and atmosphere, nothing in his work makes me think he's down to the nitty gritty of bringing characters to life.

Ho you're absolutely right. I was reffering to the mood of the backgrounds, and some funny things like the stripes and pattern on the suits.

Halo 3 had an amazing campaign, except for Cortana.

You should look into ODST though. Great experience.

Only the last level of H3 was entertaining. The rest was a pile of shit. And no Master Chief means no buy ...

ODST may have my favourite Halo campaign. So moody.

I... see...

Thank you for that... elaborate post

So levels like The Covenant are shit but the last level was entertaining? talk about weird opinions.

All the Halo 3 levels besides the last two were amazing...some of them are easily some of the best levels in the franchise.

[Moaradin]

I'm not convinced that 343 can fill the giant shoes that Bungie filled, but I'm more interested in this game now. I'll probably get it for the campaign alone but MP is what really matters and some of the news scares me.

[TheOddOne]

Tsavo Highway says "Hi"

Add The Storm, Floodgate, The Ark, The Covenant and Sierra 117.

[Truant]

Looks pretty sweet. Textures are pretty lowres, but I'm used to my PCixty setup now so I'm spoiled.

[Bo]

Technically speaking, it looks great. Art-wise, I'm having mixed feelings about it. The environments look spectacular. The characters leave me much less impressed (bar Cortana, the detailing is lovely).

I've become less and less a fan of each new revision of the armor Master Chief operates in, it becomes increasingly elaborate and increasingly more divergent from the starting philosophies: big, angular battle tank sensibilities. The Mark V was simple, yes, but it was distinctive. The armor keeps getting busier, more sleek, and less angular, and ultimately more and more like any other piece of space marine kit.

As for the Grunts and Elites, more mixed feelings. I love the detailing and the shaping of the armor, but something smells a bit off. No nosecaps for the Grunts, presumably no distorted voices, and ever-present piranha smiles. It's a change I'd have to see in action to fully gauge whether it sits right with me or not, but it kinda hints at a shift away from a corner I thought was perfectly adequate regardless of the tone the game was going for. The Elites, I'm not sure exactly what bothers me about them, but it's nagging at me nonetheless. Something to do with the skin and eyes, clammy, dull?

[Petrichor]

The new chief design of the chief is my favourite yet. It doesn't compromise the aspects of the suit we've come to associate with his design, but it looks less like he's wearing a big metal outerspace onesie and more like he's wearing a functional suit of armour.

also, the grunts do have nosecaps in some of the gameinformer screenshots ^ Loving their design as well.



SO GOOD.

Levels 2-7 were great. Overall Halo 3 is my favorite in the series, I'll never understand the hate.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

[Friedreich]

well then

[Gui_PT]

[Akainu]

Covies are there, but not the main enemy afaik.

They are not the main enemy.

They are not the main enemy and wont play that big of a role in Halo 4.

The fact that they are still an enemy at all is still weird.

Cortana looks like a bug eyed teenager. Also those teeth. >_<

[WrikaWrek]

Looks amazing.

[Elginer]

This I can fap to. NICELY done 343. Can't wait to see this in motion.

[Rad Agast]

Looks fine to me. I can't wait for November.

[Feindflug]

Finished recently Reach, ODST & 3 at co-op with a friend via system link and even though Reach & ODST are really great games the best levels of Halo 3 are simply amazing and on a whole other level of awesomeness.

Halo 3 was a truly great game that despite it's technical shortcomings still plays amazingly good and trumps easily every other FPS on the market in terms of gameplay IMO.

GRAPHICAL DELUCTIBLE EYE ENDUCING JAZZ

This gun b good.

[Antioch]

I'm not even a Halo fan and these shots are making me hyped, looking forward to seeing the E3 demo.

[szaromir]

SO GOOD.

SSAO appears to be missing? I hope it'll be there in the final game.

[Salvor.Hardin]

Halo 3 Chief's suit was the best MC suit. Not a huge fan of all the nuts and bolts in this new one. Not only is it kind of aesthetically distracting, but it doesn't make much sense in application either.

[strafer]

... ...

[darkpaladinmfc]

I don't like the Covenant or Cortana, but I'm fine with Chief.

[Petrichor]

The fact that they are still an enemy at all is still weird. Cortana looks like a bug eyed teenager. Also those teeth. >_<

As the main enemy is likely (though not confirmed) to be the forerunner, and they're worshiped as gods by the covenant, it makes sense that, if the forerunner were to return, that whatever is left of the covenant would fight alongside them.

I too hope though that we're predominately fighting new enemies, but having grunts and elites as a part of a new "covenant" of enemies works fine for me.

On another point, do you guys think the forward unto dawn level will be the E3 presentation, or we're going to get a level from requiem featuring the new enemy? (I'm thinking a little of both, maybe the very end of forward unto dawn when the chief crashes and then his initial exploration of requiem and his first encounter with the forerunner)

[Dax01]

Only the last level of H3 was entertaining. The rest was a pile of shit. And no Master Chief means no buy ...

[Hypertrooper]

Cortana, Chief, Elites and the other stuff looks amazing. I can not wait.

Grunt looks meh or okay.

[GarthVaderUK]

Cortana looks fantastic, Grunts look scarier.

[shinobi602]

AWWWW YEAAA Halo 4 shit is just what I like waking up to.

Pics look great. Goddamn am I ready for H4.

Awww, the little Grunt looks like a mini T-Rex.

[mrklaw]

I bought 3, reach and ODST cheap from game recently - only previously played 1&2. Should I skip one/more or play them in any particular order?

[GarthVaderUK]

I'd just play them all in the order they were released. Halo 3, then ODST, then Reach.

[dragonelite]

3 or ODST order not so important then after finishing those Reach. And if you can get Halo:Ce play that one.

[Gui_PT]

I bought 3, reach and ODST cheap from game recently - only previously played 1&2. Should I skip one/more or play them in any particular order?

In terms the story, the order is:
Halo Reach
H1
H2 up to the 2nd level
ODST
Rest of Halo 2
Halo 3

Which might get a bit complicated and flow breaking so I'd say play them in release order.

[derFeef]

chronologically: Reach, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3 + ODST (kinda take place at the same time).
Reach can be played whenever, it does not really matter that much.

edit: or what Gui said :)

Halo 2 happens at the same time as ODST not 3.

[WJD]

nm, should have refreshed.

[shinobi602]

First time in the history Halo might be a decent game. From the visual side at least.

[derFeef]

Halo 2 happens at the same time as ODST not 3.

I worded that weird yeah. Like I edited, Gui nailed it for me :)

[Trickster]

Overall it looks very impressive.

Cortana's hair looks off though, need to look like a hologram like the rest of her.
