This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Also, I'm pretty sure those were ODSTs behind him. Yay.

Return of Buck's squad, anybody? :D


I'm pretty sure you can hear Nathan Fillions voice during the demo saying something about the Infinity.

And seriously, these Forerunner AI creatures must be tough...the larger one (roughly Chief's height) was capable of smashing John's shields to zero and pushing him a few metres back!! I wonder if they were placed there to be a potential anti-Flood.

At one point you can see one tossing an Elite around. Like a ragdoll.

I can't wait.

Holy SHIP.

Before now I thought that was a GRUNT.

There's only one thing we can use to annihilate hordes of these new beasts, gentlemen; we must bring back the power of the BXR.
There's always the power of positioning. You'll notice that the player in the demo just charged right in. The best way to fight these guys would be to spawn them then run like hell. Of course, given 343's capability of surprising even me, I bet they got countermeasures for this. D: I'm assuming it's time we say goodbye to the cheap 'shoot from long range' tactic.

This is exactly why I gave 343 the benefit of the doubt instead of flat out hating against it like the majority did without any facts on the game or anything. Now what's left of the haters are saying it's a ripoff of games like Metroid Prime, like that were a bad thing to begin with.
I was only antagonistic towards 343's work on Anniversary and some trivial H4 matters like the Zealot's armor color.

For campaign, I wasn't expecting much. Now my opinion is pretty much this:Posted by: HipiO7
For the first time since it's announcement, I'm actually looking forward to the campaign and the game in it's whole.

Would have sword these ODST like soldiers had Noble Six type helmets.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I'm not sure if they were ODSTs or not, but having Buck's squad make a return in Halo 4 would make the game that much better...

Some more observations:

-going through loading points only seems to affect Chief's movement speed and seems to be seamless for other gameplay elements. In H3, the turning speed was affected and often the whole thing froze for a second. Same with Reach.
-I just realized that the vaporization of bodies means much less load on the game (especially considering that Forerunner weapons seem to be more prevalent). I hope this means we won't have to worry about disappearing weapons! Also, this reminds me of 2 concept creatures that would dispose of bodies: Keelbug and Flood Transport form

NICE JOB 343!! Good graphics with good performance is ideal for great gameplay! :D

And a question:

Is there going to be an aerial battle during the 2nd mission?

If so, I hope it's picking up on Guardian Forest, H3's deleted level. H3's The Covenant aerial battle was a disaster. AA Wraiths pwning Hornets is implausible and the aerial battle couldn't support a lot of AI numbers (after making 16 Hornets via glitch, most of the Banshees were gone, probably deleted).

Anyone notice the Forerunner glyph at the end looks a lot like Mendicant Bias's symbol? And he did "consume" AdjutantReflex from the Halo 3 Iris stuff. Any thoughts?

The website for Halo 4 has a lot of "intel" on the Promethean enemies. Pretty interesting stuff too

Yep, the Covie animations were splendid. Very lifelike and I love how the Elite hits the Grunt with his rifle. :3 Most importantly, the Elite responded to the death of his troops by berserking!

That vaporization (if that's what it was) was real nice.


That was good, I liked too the interaction of the Covenant.

  • 06.04.2012 11:41 AM PDT

So was anyone else amazed with the promethean knight (bipedal enemy)? Not only does it have a strong meele, it can shoot, teleport quickly to you (can't hide behind cover like a -blam!- any more), deploy the watcher (flying dude), watching can give it a shield and it can spawn crawlers. That's just one dude. Imagine fighting 3 or more of them at once!

Thats the didacts symbol however it got flipped around. Not exactly sure what that means however he isn't friendly.

Calling it now, anti-Didact. Think anti-Christ...just Forerunner.

Must say i like how the enemies react. And it makes you feel weak sometimes when strong enemies appear.

Also wonder how the didact shall fit into this.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

I've made a review of the H4 E3 campaign demo here. It's not quite finished and I'll be frequently updating it.

Thanks op! I stopped going on Waypoint so it's hard to get the useful info now.

Yup, this game looks amazing.

  • 06.04.2012 12:23 PM PDT

Anyone who read cryptum will recognize the term promethean, which what the renders of the forerunner enemies are called. Could this mean that they are ai made by warrior servants?

The Halo 4 waypoint page says these new prometheans are different then the warrior servants of the past.

I wonder what the hell happened with the Forerunners.

I wonder how the Elites are going to react to getting their asses kicked by Promethean Knights.

I'm really, really hoping the Elites get fed up of being beaten back, get their pride on, and we witness an Elites vs. Promethean Knights skirmish, with the Elites brandishing Energy Swords and really giving the Knights their all.
