Subject: What do you expect from the (probable) Halo 4 VGA trailer?

-Shadow Chief 3

As the title asks, what do you expect to see this December 10th? Do you think we will get a full-blown, in game look at Halo 4 in some way, showing off the engine? Campaign? Multiplayer? Or do you think it will resemble the Halo Reach trailer that was audio over a video around the planet Reach?

I for one feel that we may finally get a look at the new engine. Thinking back to Halo 3 (the last "true" halo), Bungie had their release in the Fall with the multiplayer Beta in late Spring. If any attempts at a Beta are going to be made in a similar fashion (also assuming that a Fall 2012 as opposed to a Winter 2012/2013 release is the more accurate time frame of "Holiday 2012"), the game will have to be in a fairly late and playable stage come the new year. Trailers for the multiplayer debuted far before the beta around this time, and the trailer of the Ark portal debuted earlier than this.

I would expect to see mainly a look at the engine, environment(s), and a better idea of how the MC will look in-game, with little or no "action", meaning gun fire, enemies, vehicles. MC will hold a familiar gun (hopefully AR or BR), and probably either have a similar trailer feel to the ark portal of halo 3, but without the level of plot involvement. I would expect 343i to do their own in-game looks at the multiplayer afterwards, probably a holiday one or just into the new year.

Your thoughts? Your expectations? We may not even get a trailer, but that would be surprising.

In-game graphics.

Other then that, I've found it's pointless to expect anything where Halo's concerned. I'll just end up being surprised, so I won't say anything.

1.Master Chief has been in cryo for 20 years.
2.Brutes are almost exticnt(only 2 or 3 left)
3.Cortana had a new chip installed because we all know A.I's only live to 7 years.
4.The covenant will not be present in Halo 4
5.UNSC is bigger and better, I meen way bigger and way better.
6.SMG's are back and the reaper is a true weapon, also a new weapon, kind-off like a needle gun but not really of what you think.
7.No boats yet but he/she is trying to convince them to put it in the game.
8.Pelicans are in Forge because they all-ready have all the soft-wear from Halo:Reach's Easter Egg
9.Halo 4 Forge will be 20 times as big as Halo:Reaches forge
10.Adding Rain,Rocks,Trees,Terrain,and the ability to change time of day are all confirmed.

Other than brutes being almost extinct this all sounds pretty realistic

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

It'll probably be similar to the Halo Reach VGA trailer.

I hope you realize he expects all of this to be confirmed by one trailer, for that was his answer to that question.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Well, I don't expect this. But, I HOPE for something as epic as this.

  • 11.27.2011 8:52 AM PDT

well if he is trying to say all of that will be confirmed in a VGA trailer, then I take back what I said, but that's not what it looked like to me.

  • 11.27.2011 9:05 AM PDT

Something that gives us something to talk and tear each other's throats out about.

  • 11.27.2011 11:05 AM PDT

Why are you here?

6.SMG's are back and the reaper is a true weapon, also a new weapon, kind-off like a needle gun but not really of what you think.

The Reaper gun isn't real.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

No.

2.Brutes are almost exticnt(only 2 or 3 left)

No...

3.Cortana had a new chip installed because we all know A.I's only live to 7 years.

No.

4.The covenant will not be present in Halo 4

Obviously. The Covenant are finished.

5.UNSC is bigger and better, I meen way bigger and way better.

They shouldn't be, but after Glasslands it seems to be going this way.

6.SMG's are back and the reaper is a true weapon, also a new weapon, kind-off like a needle gun but not really of what you think.

No.

7.No boats yet but he/she is trying to convince them to put it in the game.

No.

8.Pelicans are in Forge because they all-ready have all the soft-wear from Halo:Reach's Easter Egg

Different engine.

9.Halo 4 Forge will be 20 times as big as Halo:Reaches forge

You do not know that.

10.Adding Rain,Rocks,Trees,Terrain,and the ability to change time of day are all confirmed.

No they aren't, you're talking utter bullshyte.

If there will be one, I think it's one like the first H2 and Reach trailers. Made with the ingame engine, but ultimately different from the version that will be in the game itself.

This would make sense, as then they could show the gameplay at E3 next year. Showing gameplay in 2 weeks would be too early. And showing nothing until E3 would mean too little time for an epic hype.

I'm honestly not expecting a trailer this year. The game will probably be on the cover of GI within a few months, but that's about it.
