Always up for REACH customs!
Did you notice any minor but important details in the Halo 4 videos that were not explicitly announced?
I found...
-It will probably run at 60fps. (at 1:30 in the Making video you can see they're filming motion capture at 1080/60i)
-A look at the HUD at 1:54 shows no health bar, and what looks like three empty slots for grenades. Might there be three grenade types?
-Teams have emblems, visible at 1:56 (unicorns vs. wolves, oooooookay...)
-Radar seems to be better at showing if people are above or below you with different symbols. Yellow double diamond symbol shows a friendly at 1:56.
-A player is seen holding 3 Frag Grenades and 1/3 of another grenade type in the HUD at 1:58. There is also what looks like a jetpack icon and an AA energy bar in the upper left corner along with the word "Grenadier", probably a loadout.
-At 1:59 you can see some kind of red sliding switch on the BR's electronic scope. This might be for different zoom distances. There is also an orange stripe on the BR that isn't shown on other BRs. Maybe weapon colors are slightly customizable.
-The guy at 2:10 who looks like he needs a shower says "all vehicles, weapons, and enemies have been updated graphically". This implies the return of at least some familiar enemies from earlier Halo games.
-Some kind of hexagonal lattice is visible in the Chief's visor at 2:15.
-The still scenes from Multiplayer like at 2:22 look like they're from theater mode. There's probably theater mode.
-Bullets actually appear to come out of your gun instead of out of your head.
-At 3:13 there is a green diamond visible on the motion tracker. What are green contacts? Friendlies have always been yellow.
-At 3:14 you can see medals are back. The player gets a headshot kill and gets what looks like a newly designed headshot medal and a medal that has the old assist graphics. Both have a 5 next to them.
