Thats what i always figured. Halo has flying vehicles and high platforms. I think they want us to have more peripheral vision of the sky as opposed to dividing the vast sky and ground 50-50
These are the one's I haven't seen posted before, apologies if some are old. The most interesting one is the picture including the giant silver ship-like object that is of forerunner origin.

Maybe their noses and mouths don't link up?

Or maybe they only expose their mouths when they aren't in space, I'm not getting why everyone assumes Grunts are always in a vacuum.

Or maybe its not really that important how the grunt's bio-mechanics work..... seriously.

This is so crazy. It makes me feel like Halo CE made me feel stepping out of the bumble bee for the first time.
No you are not, i already mentioned this before...and its still, ahm, stupid in my opinion. I don´t see them changing it though
Halo Anniversary felt so good because the crosshair was in the screens center.

This is seriously amazing. It seems that 343 'get' what made Halo CE so engaging, despite limited environment types... a sense of scale and mystery.
Things like cortana commenting on the weather with no explanation... and the huge forerunner monoliths firing energy across to the other side of the ring.
I am officially hyped.
Can 343 undo the damage done by ODST and, albeit to a much lesser extent, Reach?
Trying to pretend I won't buy another 360 for this, but if it lives up to the early screens and art, I am SO FUCKING THERE.

I hope not, because ODST was fantastic, probably bungie's best halo game since CE and my personal favorite overall.

Personal taste I guess.
The levels were great, but the city hub was boring and the graphics sucked.
It's my least favourite Halo. We're all different though
I should probably add that every Halo other than CE has been a slight let down for me. I really want them to capture the campaign feel of CE - which is probably my fave game of all time.
Red screen was tolerable, the sound absolutely not.

Uh, ODST is the 2nd best Halo, yo.
also, that piece of artwork is mesmerizing. I couldn't be more excited for this game.

Terrible thing to add to a halo game, if that wasn't bad enough the slowly maddening beep, beep, beep further added to the misery.
Yeah that and drones with shields in FF =(
Damn, you just made me rage.

What.
WHAT.
Reach was the worst thing to happen to Halo. ODST was has had the best single player content since CE. If anything, if Halo 4 could be more like Halo 4 that could only be a good thing!

Guys it's just my opinion. I'm not really interested in all the reasons why someone else might think differently. As a stated above, we're all different and take different things away from different games. No need to jump to ODST's defence just because someone happens to not like it as much as you. Halo is, for good reason, one of the biggest franchises in gaming today. Period.
Just like Zelda, and many other series, there will always be people who like certain games more than others.... there's no right or wrong answer, it's purely your personal taste and expectations at work.
This isn't a thread to debate the standing of the various games in the series.
Anyway, on with the hype.
Or alternatively you could selectively quote me and have a nice old fashioned round of tit for tat pedantry.

gracias!
theses are the until now pirated scans we got already.
Hopedthe blue shields guys were Forerunners but it's prety much confirmed to be the new Kig-yars.
Shield drones with Tilt on....god that was the stuff of nightmares.
It's just an opinion, true, but when you make a statement wondering whether a game can undo the "damage" done by another, and that game is beloved by many, you should expect a reaction.
I do think Reach did the series damage, in particular on the MP front. Halo 4 really needs to restore much to the series that went awry with Reach.

It looks like the sort of area their would be many of, I could see the 'messed up' variant being in there.
Yeah.
Yeah, looks fine. I am sure there are different areas that look like that.

Why would there be many areas like that? There's only part of the ship and it wasn't big in the first place. The rest of the game is going to take place in forerunner environments (unless other humans arrive there).
It's exactly the same are in the artwork and in the screenshot.

a bit out of the loop on this.... is it a proprietary engine?

Campaign was okay, but coming from ODST it wasn't as strong. The real reason is the complete nosedive that multiplayer took, and Firefight was better implemented in ODST despite lacking matchmaking. Between AAs, nerfed movement, bloom, poor maps (including all the Forge World stuff in matchmaking), loadouts, and the inconsistent way the settings were handled in matchmaking-- not to mention the more minute details like the vehicle handling, the nuke grenades, the lack of proper camo/OS powerups. There were a lot of things that Reach was a massive step down from what came before it. Also I wasn't too fond of the more muted palette and grain filter on everything, I really can't stand to look at it for too long.

It looks like cryo chambers, there would be 1 for every crewman, not about 16.

IIRC it's a heavily reworked/bedazzled Reach engine.
Nah, son. The IQ wasn't the best, but the lighting is still top notch.
Even like five years later I'm still not entirely clear what people think is special about Halo 3's lighting. Is it just the high precision HDR?
Also this. Pretty rare even that the layout of an area is getting translated almost exactly like on this example. (layout, not final art).

I really love the current engine they're using (H4), but damn if I'm not excited and freaking ready to see Halo next gen, hopefully in a brand new engine.

That's ODST, they changed the lighting engine.
I see, thanks for explaining.

Even still, I could go on and on, like the goofy vehicle stuff like the bugged aim-assist on the Revenant passenger seat that practically gives you auto-aim with the sniper rifle. Or how busted the Banshee is with its constant twirling and nuking, or the bug that randomly causes Covenant vehicles to instantly accelerate out of control and either slam into a wall at mach speeds destroying it instantly or flying into the atmosphere.
Really the Halo thread in Community is only so active because of the myriad of ways people can continue to complain about Reach.
Oh. I didn't even play ODST. Halo 3's lighting still didn't impress me.

I only played Reach multi for a few months but I have to say I never experienced any of those bugs. Sucks I guess.

Well, the AI driving was pretty good in ODST/Halo 3.
You can't operate a Warthog without Marines, dude.
Vehicle battles need AI buddies.Heresy!
Was this discussed before? These two pictures seem to be Spartan Ops related:
The video notes three things too:
- Missions will take place outside of Infiity;
- You will "explore the galaxy";
- Visit new locations;
- Key characters will be introduced;
- Full campaign in size.
Hub?
Same picture was in the Gameinformer video.
