That shots makes me wish that the Halo 4 cover art was set outdoors on Requiem even more. Also, How far we have come: to

Small question. How comes there is no ceiling? I recall someone (GI?) saying that Requiem's ceiling was visible. Is this not Requiem?

[Ramirez]

Dat Mark VI. Don't put 'em side by side!

Yes, we shouldn't make Halo 3 look so bad.

Perhaps if the camera tilted up a bit we'd see it. The sky is dark past the clouds in the back and we can't see all that far up.

[Demoncarnotaur]

Curses! I just posted this in the gaming thread and come here... :P

Haha we literally posted like at the exact same moment!

I know you were trying to showcase the improved visuals, but dat H4 armor...

Oh come on, Im not a huge fan of the shoulders or chest pieces, but this shot doesn't look bad. in fact, I'd argue the new armor looks way better here.

[ArbiterMajor]

Pre rendered cutscene? I'm not going to get my hopes up until I see the final product. Halo Reach "Welcome to Reach" trailer vs the final product not the same.

Wondering when we'll get the Halo 4 Forge reveal. Probably the biggest question mark for me. Really really really hope it's something special and not just blocks with colors this time around, it could go a long way to making the game feel fresh many months down the road.

Skybox in the screenshot from Halo 4 is very, very impressive. I can't wait to see the more impressive designs that will surely be in the game. There will probably be very busy skyboxes.

They've added map center pieces. Now you can add moving scenery to your maps.

Bricks have violently expelled from my body. Worth it.

If anyone is going to E3 pm so we can exchange info and meet up.

No matter what though I hope those maps stay out of rotation and have their own playlist. Reach was bad for awhile

[ZalinKrow]

Great games guys. Customs were hilarious haha

GOTY confirmed

[Deadly Cyclone]

Customs yet?

[Hydranockz]

<3 you HaloGaf. Some seriously fun games all through the day. Roll on tomorrow!

[Karl2177]

Customs over? Or not yet started?

[Hydranockz]

They is a bunch still playing.

[Tawpgun]

Rediscovered an old Halo 3 video that made me laugh far too hard.

The new armor definitely looks better than the old armor.

We just need the people choosing the maps to pick better maps.

[Aggrotek]

[ZalinKrow]

I threw some friend requests out. I wasn't sure whether or not I should add people whose friends list was already pretty full though :P Roll on tomorrow! It's technically today here, so... c'mon today!

[GhaleonEB]

I think we just need a better game. I've played a lot of Reach maps that would have been great if we weren't playing Reach.

[GrimBrother One]

Stupid fucking rent + Amscot. :_(

Bro, I've been there so many damn times, it's not even funny. I completely. under. stand. <3

[kylej]

forge evolved

That type of thing is what I'm worried about.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Customs whenever. Tawpgun, aggrotek, and AF Jon and I are in a party now.

So we need maps that fit Reach?

That's my nice way of disagreeing with you about Reach lol

[Rand0m TAG]

so im down to tritton, turtlebeach, razer or steelseries.
all are about 130-150 (except steelseries -> 70)
which do you guys suggest? (for headsets)

[Game2Death]

So I am playing Reach due to all this Halo 4 talk...and did the ripping off of a turret always make no noise? Didn't Halo 3 make noise? WTF? lol

[ViewtifulJC]

So, so true. Does Reach have good maps? I can't tell, because I hate how I move, the colors, the AAs, the Warthog handling, the broken Banshee, bloom, etc.

Good base gameplay makes maps better just as a by-product. And vice versa

I like the anniversary play lists/maps.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Customs folks. Ghal, need an invite?

[daedalius]

This.... This is absolutely incredible.

All the DLC maps are pretty good IMO. As for vanilla maps, Powerhouse and Asylum are my favorites. Countdown/Zealot/Boardwalk/Reflection/Boneyard/Spire are tolerable for me. Not a fan of the rest.

[Hitmonchan107]

Community things I'd like to see in Halo 4:

- 343 Favorite Community Maps (Possible playlist incorporating these.)
- Special Events like Gears of War 3
- In-game, promoted live competitive matches (Live Theater)
- Credits/Spartan Points awarded for best Screenshot/Clip of the Day (promoted in-game)

Damn, nice ideas! As for the first one, I'd definitely be fine with a 4v4 community playlist.

[senador]

Just got back from biking and saw the new screens and HOLY FUCK BATMAN!!

Cept the AR, I wish it got more awesome looking like the BR. Oh well, I never use that thing anyway.

[Domino Theory]

This week is going to be so fucking amazing.

[Karl2177]

FRs sent to Ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan and Deadly.

[monsterfracas]

I think kyle's gotten to me a bit.
Can't help but look at those screens without thinking "cinematic framerate"

Still, so far Halo 4's looking to be the best looking game on 360.

Meh. I could care less about framerate.

[Bregmann Roche]

Now you've done it.

[ViewtifulJC]

I could also care less about framerate

[monsterfracas]

Meh. I could care less about framerate.

As long as it's always within a couple frames of 30, I'm ok with it. 2-3 frames is barely noticeable at all. If they somehow pull out these graphics at a locked 30, then I'll be very, very impressed.

[senador]

I could care less about your graphs and numbers.
