I can't see the connection. Plus, MDK2 was utter garbage. The first one was brilliant, though.

How good? So good.so are there going to be new enemies? elites and grunts are cool but i've been fighting the for over 10 years now.
I'm guessing like forerunners in robot suits or something. Hopefully they take after Vanquish and have lots and lots of sparks when you shoot them.
First time in the history Halo might be a decent game. From the visual side at least.
Wait, the flood is not coming back? I am starting to be excited.

Now that is funny.He has been trying for over 10 years.
I have no idea who GhaleongB is, but he sounds like a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.do you still copy of all ghaleongb's opinions?
Speaking of achieved, can't wait to hear about multiplayer achievements
Kill 3 people through walls with one charge of forerunner vision
Get killed by an ordnance drop
Who would put a pipe there? That is just poor design.
Frankie you guys better bring back the big multi-faction battles like the Flood vs. Covie. vs. Player stuff in Halo 1 and 2. Those encounters were sorely missing in 3 and Reach.
Because they're such an integral part of the halo universe, it would be remiss to omit them from all future games. I don't hate the covenant at all, I'm just very tired of them. I'd rather 343 crafted an entire new mythos to get lost in and incorporate the covenant later. I'd just like a major break from them but I don't want them to be gone forever.
We can't all be brown like Resistance, buddy
Why's he wearing a little helmet on his chest?
Man, that was like the one place Halo 3 looked good.. It seems Halo 4 may be able to bring both the stellar lighting from Halo 3 forward and mix it with a ton of other assets to make a fantastic looking game.Halo 4 looks amazing, but it will look worse than Reach in certain areas, just like Reach looked worse than Halo 3 in some areas, but overall blew it away.
No matter what magic they work, Halo 4 is still running on 2005 harware.
Oh, there's water.
"Last contact with UNSC 3 years, 4 months, 30 days"
Nice catch.Was it noted that according to this screen, Halo 4 is set 3 years after Halo 3?
"Last contact with UNSC 3 years, 4 months, 30 days"
"Last contact with UNSC" does not necessary mean that it plays 3 years after Halo 3. Maybe they had contact with the UNSC and Cortana ignores it etc.Was it noted that according to this screen, Halo 4 is set 3 years after Halo 3?
"Last contact with UNSC 3 years, 4 months, 30 days"
Nope.The new elites and grunts are supposed to be using salvaged tech or something, like mercenaries or outlaws. That's why their equipment looks like it's thrown together from everything.
Also calling this right now: Cortana will escape rampancy by actually becoming human. It's clear to me from her art designs alone that this is the intention.
Are you still trying to be funny?

Yeah and that's EXACTLY whats happening here. The first mission starts off by being attacked by a rogue sect of covenant and then you land on this new planet and find all the new environments/enemies/mysteries.Because they're such an integral part of the halo universe, it would be remiss to omit them from all future games.

Oh. The game focus on Cortana and Chief. And I think Frankie mentioned Cortana's rampancy in some interviews.will rampancy actually mean something in this game? still abit scorned after all the cortana business in halo 3 led nowhere.
Nope.
Frank has told us already that Cortana will not be taking the Pinocchio route.
So, uh, wow. Halo has graphics now. 343 > Bungle.
In all seriousness, I adored Bungie's games, but by Reach I was getting a bit burned out on the formula, so I'm glad to see 343 mixing things up a bit in terms of visual design and gameplay. Just about everything they've revealed to date has been welcome news.
As for the screens, the more I see of MC's new suit, the more I like it. The midsection and waist kinda bug me, with armor plates seemingly floating at random atop the undersuit, but overall, it's a nice step up from the Mk VI. Fucking oonsk-esque faces will haunt my dreams, though.
Cortana looks swell. She was a holographic naked blue chick in games 1-3, and she's, uh, still a holographic naked blue chick. Thumbs up, 343.
Not feeling the new-look Covies at all, but with their relatively minor role in the campaign it's not a big deal. Some BR rounds to the face might help with those ugly mugs, though...
Also, I want to see how those wonderfully atmospheric concept art environments translate to in-game visuals, particularly the expansive vistas with the Forerunner pillars. They'll look stunning, I bet.

It will play a large part in Halo 4.
Wasn't she already supposed to be metastable though? I get that it was retconned with Origins or whatever, but how did they explain it?Oh. The game focus on Cortana and Chief. And I think Frankie mentioned Cortana's rampancy in some interviews.

I don't mind either which way, should highten the drama.
THIS. The belly section is easily the worst designed part of a Halo suit in the series. It looks fat flabs or some metal loin cloth.
I am also not a big fan of the shoulder pad, looks very out of place with the rest of the body armor.
I won't even get started on the Spartan IV helmets, because I think 343 made them fugly on purpose.
The legs and forearms on MC are perfect though. It's like they got the A team on the legs and forearms, B team on everything else, and interns on the Spart IV helmets.
Yeah and that's EXACTLY whats happening here. The first mission starts off by being attacked by a rogue sect of covenant and then you land on this new planet and find all the new environments/enemies/mysteries.
It would be completely dumb to just have a BLAST of new enemies right from the first mission. The covenant are a way for you to get your bearing in the first level and then continue from there as the actually story unfolds.
Your qualms about the covenant showing up in Halo 4 at the start instead of somewhere in Halo 5 or 6 are really strange.
New graphics engine looks great. I like the look everything except for the Elite armor. Are the Covenant still going to be enemies in this or are they fighting along side you against something else? My knowledge of the fiction outside of the games is limited.
Better textures, really?Yeaaa....definitely not seeing it. The textures and lighting on the Chief far outshine Reach's models. Eh, each his own.

Halo 4's model looks like it has a lower res diffuse and normal in comparison to Reach's model.
