Ok, how about if I was to say;
"When is promo art, key art, concept art or box art in-game?"
I always just assumed pretty much any art released before a game's release is not in-game. Hence the question.

Oh, my mistake but the point still stands.
Thats better, i just didnt like the assumption this was going to be boxart. I dont want it as box art.
Saying that Halo Box art is typically alot like this.

Yeah, about that...
You might want to get tested.
If I'm thinking of the same wallpaper, it was on the Android version of the app when it launched. I'm not sure when exactly the iPhone version was updated to include it. (They're just links to bungie.net files anyways.)

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
So do we have a definite date that we will get Halo 4 new? I heard rumblings of a vidoc. Is that accurate?

No.
Current date is March 5th. Very likely but not 100%.
Vidoc is merely hypothetical based on previous experiences.

I really hope 343 has some sweet ViDocs. I always loved that once you saw a Bungie trailer/announcement it seemed you could expect a ViDoc for dessert.

Codpiece is back!
Those big shoulder pieces really look like a jet pack to me. Get rid of that, and the Chief would look a bit better.

You should watch the trailer a little closer.
Hopefully so. They had their behind the scenes videos lined up for the announcement trailer, and many after that for CEA. That's probably a sign of things to come.

Je sais, je sais. I wanted to rile up our jetpack-hating friends. :lol
But it really just looks like a green version of it.
That's what I thought, too.

Their behind the scenes video stuff for Anniversary was quite disappointing iirc, but I'm hopeful they'll bring the goods this time around.

Man, that bulletin was awesome. Can't wait for to actually see the chief in game.
Thrust pack man. Make it happen 343.

The BTS: Anniversary Campaign was pretty good.
Edit.: I noticed that there are two other "Different way to Campagin" videos are up. Video 1 and Video 2.

Like those convenient Sabres in Reach
Battlefront: Halo Edition (would totally buy)
WANT.
Also, Battlefront 1 >>>>>> Battlefront 2.
For the music folk in here, what is the music playing in the background of CEA terminal 3? Unless I'm overlooking a known Halo piece, I have a feeling this could be part of the Reclaimer trilogy's music.

Which leads me to believe that the Covenant construct may be something more... Our [friendly] last precursor?

It isn't a new track. It was already in Halo: Legends - Origin Part 2. Can't find it on the Soundtrack unfortunately.

That was a very enjoyable montage. Music was enjoyable for the most part and it had a lot of variety in its kills and shenanigans.
I got Halo 4 covered<3

Tell them you once ran a group called The Halo Parliament in which random people got together to discuss Halo and posted those discussions on the web.
Edit: You're no longer meeting because one of you wanted to change the name to The Halo Council.
You really think they would introduce something like that just for escaping the FUD? lulz
I think Halo 2 is still my favorite multiplayer, but 3 definitely had some great moments that I had forgotten (so thanks for the video).
Man, Reach was such a step backwards in terms of maps, I look over the list of original maps from Reach and they all make me want to Halo: Retch.
Halo 4 needs Midship, Turf and the Pit.
High Ground, Lockout Valhalla and Zanzibar should probably be in there too.
Waterworks is optional.
Sword Base can fuck off forever.
It's funny that even the maps I disliked in Halo 2 and 3 (Snowbound, Ivory Tower, Isolation) are leaps and bounds ahead of everything new to Reach.
Edit: Halo 4 needs direct-to-Youtube uploading or somethin'

Haha watching it now, that mongoose splatter spree is hilarious, poor guys.
I would love to make a proper tage, I got a capture card recently and was learning after effects for work related stuff, so it seemed like putting 2+2 together to make a proper tage, but I never found the time to trawl through my clips. I think I heard that the new dashboard update killed off a lot of capture cards so I haven't even tried since.
I did make this 'minitage' ages ago, pretty happy with it but I relied on like Bungie pro and barely had any clips for it:

I would love to go back and make a proper tage with good editing though. I think I only made the one above because of that uphill both ways music lol.
EDIT: Your montage is really making me want to jump back on Halo 3 Rob! That tage shows why H3 is so great. There should be a minigame with mancannons and those boats.
Are you doing the Halo 4 coverage? Damn, that's what I wanted to do!
I guess there's tournament coverage but mehhhh I don't know.

Did Cee Lo turn into a Bond villain when I wasn't looking?
Not sure yet thats what I want lol. Apply for it.
Gut instinct that we aren't even close to being done with him yet.
He looks like Dr. Evil.
Yea I think I will. I DM'd Nexy last night before he sent out that email. He's going address me later when he gets out of work he said. Idk, I'm going to try writing an article and see how I like it. It's definitely a topic I'm passionate about though. We'll see.
Me and my wife were watching the Voice a week or two ago,and in his post performance interviews he had this huge white cat, hilarious.
I liked you better as a Steeler. Now I have to learn you not as a football fan, but a sensitive cat person.
I hate cats, Troy P will return...someday.
I'd prefer no maps from previous Halo games return. Spritual successors are much better. It's time to move on from Bungie's maps. It was shameful how many remakes Reach had as DLC.
Let Certain Affinity do more Defiant map packs and less Anniversary map packs. They've proven they can make solid maps, stop having them ctrl-c Bungie. But I guess we'll be buying Hang Em High again after 4 comes out.

Good, sooner is better.
The more pressing avatar crisis at the moment though is Plywood not having one at all. It's horrifying!
Yeah I'd agree with more original maps. They did a great job with both and I love the Anniversary Map Pack but I'd always prefer originals. Either way, the guys do amazing work.
Yup, agree. Time to cut the cord. Blood Gulch --> Valhalla style successors are something I'd welcome, but especially after Reach, I'm ready for a new set of battlefields.

I saw Cee Lo at ACL Fest last year, I would have liked him much better if he had the cat.
Plywood's missing avatar is quite weird, for sure. I skip over his posts a lot more than normal. ;-)
edit: agreed, no more rehash of maps for quite some time. I don't count Highlands since I never played Halo PC.
In a perfect world? Sure. Bring on the 'inspired by' maps and build 'em around the gameplay of Halo 4 instead of trying to adapt an old map to the new gameplay (especially if H4 includes something like Equipment / AA, which it probably will). New maps would be great, especially if they can feel instantly familiar while being different enough to stand on their own and keep things fresh.
But this being reality and Halo, can we really expect an entirely new slate of maps, even if they borrow heavily from previous maps? And can we expect those new maps to be as good as some of the maps I listed? I'm not holding my breath for that. In the meantime, I can at least hope to revisit some of my old favorites back (especially ones that I haven't gotten to play in a while with better netcode and graphics) because it beats the alternative; Reach's launch maps.
/shudder.

Half of Reach's map set is remakes.
No more remakes please.
