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.
God, everyday my pre-order of the Limited Edition is looking more and more worth it's money.
I really liked the ViDoc, I'm glad to see they went through so much trouble to design the Promethean character models and their weapons. That said, I hope there are more than just three enemy types of Prometheans, although they said there were multiple variants of Knights.
I'll list some points of interest I noticed in the video:
0:54 - Prometheans scan their environment, including the dead?
0:58 - We also fight the Blue Knights, not only the Orange ones.
1:11 - Reminds me of the start of Two Betrayals, Chief and Cortana at a control center or panel and surrounded by Knights.
2:06 - Assassination of a Jackal.
4:19 - Covenant boarding Forward unto Dawn through new Phantom mechanism.
4:32 - Nothing we haven't seen, but that Elite got annihilated.
4:40 - Assassination animation of a Knight?
4:44 - Assassination animation of Watcher?
4:46 - Assassination animation of Crawler.
4:52 - In game, awesome, assassination of Knight. Knights really dwarf the MC.
5:05 - Different variants of Knights.
5:54 - In game assassination of Crawler.
6:20 - Watcher reviving Knight... That's going to be a -blam!- on Legendary...
6:38 - Elite gets owned on Ghost by Knight. Knight looks imposing in that image.
6:54 - Half a dozen Promethean weapons in game.
7:30, 7:36, 7:39 - The weapon forming animation is EPIC!
Light rifle is three-round burst unscoped, ala BR, and 1 shot when scoped, ala DMR.
Also, is it me or do the Elites have the same combat animations as Halo Reach? :/
9:35, 9:40, 9:46 and on... - In game engine is looking beautiful on the landscape and vistas.
10:30 - The Chief approaching the misterious Cryptum. Shall he crack it open?
Game is looking amazing, can't wait to get my hands on the campaign. 343 has done a really, really good job.
