BR Confirmed. Hallelujah.

 

[cluto]

BR Confirmed. Hallelujah.

You sure that's a BR?

 

[Surface of Me]

Holy shit, them screens look gooooood.

 

[mikew3st]

Hoping for some actual gameplay tomorrow, and not just impressions.

 

[Retro]

You sure that's a BR?

BR:

DMR:

It has that Fa-MAS style Handguard. So yeah, pretty sure that's some BR action there.

 

[cluto]

BR:

DMR:

I wasn't implying it was a DMR.

 

[Syphon Filter]

is it me or his color is off?maybe its the lighting.

 

[Einchy]

Oh shit, visors done right. It only took a completely different developer.

oh my god oh my god oh my god

i don't have enough lady gaga gifs for thissss

Hurry, PM Kodo!

 

[ArisenDragon]

Wow those images are fantastic.

 

[Retro]

I wasn't implying it was a DMR.

Dunno what else it could be, nothing else in Halo has that type of silhouette and it looks like it even says "BR" plus some numbers on the handgrip. So it's gotta be a BR.

 

[Redford]

It's definitely a BR, etched into the carrying handle on the second pic.

 

[GodfatherX]

The initial trailer and that E3 demo were both running on an untenable engine. Bungie scrapped it and started over soon after E3 2003 because it just wasn't going to work for the game.

yes i know the story well, doesnt change the fact

[IXIKelsonIXI]

I've been lurking this thread as well...(and GAF in general), just wanted to say how stoked I am for tomorrow! And how I am cursing that page for not loading...!

Yep, you're right. BR55HB SR

It looks more like the AR now. Grey, shorter barrel, etc. Whatever.

 

[Computron]

What's hb mean?

Oh god that left hand. WHY?

Otherwise looks sick.

 

[Dennis]

Why are the fingers so long?

 

[cluto]

Why are the fingers so long?

monkey fingas

 

[Monumental]

Thats just perspective.

But, there is something different about the left hand index finger compared to the rest of the fingers. It doesn't have the green metal on the finger joints.

EDIT: Actually nvm, it's the same way for the right hand index finger. I guess that just a new design.

He can fire off the joints like bullets, so when he points at people to indicate he's about to give them the business, he's actually aiming the business at them.

Same deal with the Rocket Propelled Codpiece...

Edit: I guess I shouldn't just crack jokes. It's his trigger finger, guys, he wouldn't want any kind of armor plating there that can get caught in a trigger guard.

 

[theb0xmIke]

Mind Blown

Trailer incoming?

 

[daedalius]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BR55HBSR GO! (crossing fingers for hitscan h2 style)

Here is active camo:

 

[SalientOne]

Can anyone post the text from the article? I'm curious to hear initial feedback and the site won't load for me.

 

[zethren]

LOVE those new gloves.

Still curious to see how they're going to explain such drastic aesthetic differences in his armor between Halo 3 and 4, though honestly it doesn't much concern me.

Same here, can somebody help us out?

Okay, someone posted in the other image thread - copying here for people who are interested.

Excited for Halo 4 like we are? Halo has been apart of the Xbox success from day one. Ever since Halo 3 ended, fans have been clamoring to see Master Chief return to the series and that’s what fans are getting with this latest installment.

I got my first look at Halo 4 at the Xbox 360 Spring Showcase and as a long time fan of the series; I was instantly blown away with the visual improvements that 343 made to the franchise. The lightening is the biggest showcase of that with environments are brought to life with the new engine 343 have designed. The environmental improvements are highly superior to the original games.

Fans first got to see Master Chief return to the saga when Microsoft showcased the Halo 4 trailer at the end of their of E3 press conference. While it was instantly breathtaking for fans, long time fans brought up a number of issues. The first is a slight change in Master Chief appearance, most notably was a missing cod piece armor. While it was missing, unlike previous E3 launch trailers, that footage wasn’t in game footage built around the current Halo 4 engine that 343 is using. Thankfully, Master Chief will have everything in order when the game is released, but this is by the best rendition of Master Chief to date.

It’s been five years since we last saw Master Chief “finish the fight” and defeat the covenant. With Halo 4 beginning a new trilogy, fans of the franchise will return to the beloved franchise, but Halo 4 offers the best chance for new comers to be introduced to the franchise. The graphical paroles will be great entry point for fans to be swept up in the storm that is Halo when it eventually hits store shelves.

You can find the article in the first post of this thread.

 

[Echo Six]

Thanks guys. Kinda light fare but the bit about the vastly improved lighting was interesting. Hype meter is pegged...

 

[GodfatherX]

looks great...other then mutant left hand

 

[blamite]

EDIT: Actually nvm, it's the same way for the right hand index finger. I guess that just a new design.

What if the fact that it's on the both fingers means... dual wielding is back!?

 

[TUROK]

I think I need to see this in motion. The first shot looks strange, but the second shot looks pretty awesome.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

What if the fact that it's on the both fingers means... dual wielding is back!?

I don't think so. The right hand index finger in the yellow looking picture is armored.

edit: nm, i think it is unarmored. Probably is for dual wielding.

I don't get why they say that it's since Halo 3 that fans where waiting for the MC to return...didn't they hear of Halo: reach ?

 

[derFeef]

I don't get why they say that it's since Halo 3 that fans where waiting for the MC to return...didn't they heard of Halo: reach ?

Did you play Reach?

 

[S1kkZ]

I don't get why they say that it's since Halo 3 that fans where waiting for the MC to return...didn't they hear of Halo: reach ?

the mc is playable in reach? nope.

 

[Satchel]

Will reserve massive hype until its confirmed this ain't no bullshot.

 

[TUROK]

It's obviously not going to be running at that resolution, or probably have that level of AA, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

 

[JonathanPower]

the mc is playable in reach? nope.

Yes but there is an appearance of the MC in reach.

 

[S1kkZ]

Yes there is an appearance of the MC in reach.

playable. and he was in reach for 1 second as an easter egg.

 

[TUROK]

Yes but there is an appearance of the MC in reach.

Linda, mang.

 

[JonathanPower]

playable. and he was in reach for 1 second as an easter egg.

They don't say playable in the text and I love accuracy, a true HALO fan can't be fooled so easily.
