Halo 4

[EvilBoris]

They are planning weekly FREE episodic DLC for the co-op missions, which is similar in scope to the single player campaign. The Spartan ops mode will have its own cinematics and fmv/animation to tell the story.
Hopefully this will get people to hang on and play on a regular basis.

So.... looks like I'll be rebuying a 360 this November, then?

I have to say its shaping up really nicely. Is this going to be one of those rare times a new studio gets a chance and doesn't ruin it?

I wasn't the impressed with the halo remake for instance. Just too sloppy around the edges. But this... I didn't like Halo3, Halo2 was just weird but had the multiplayer. Reach was good but MP felt stale for me and really I just love the original the best.

I'm getting good vibes from this though. The lighting is a massive step up and everything just looks more mature?

cover art revealed - as ever, it's more in the face than creative...

[EvilBoris]

That was the one That was shown at e3 last year along with another selection of logos and other bits and bobs.
could be a placeholder.


I've always thought all the Halo game's had ugly boxart, I'd be quite happy to buy it as a Digital to be honest.

They can't just sit back and avoid the holiday time slot just because of a COD game which is released every year without fail.

Oh they can .. and personally I would advise them to stay clear of the whole COD window myself ... That goes for pretty much any other game these days tbh ... (Games with major MP components anyway). You cant compete with the annual COD boreathon so why try. Your game has to be seriously strong to go up against the COD window and be successful.

I would much rather have Halo in January than in November.

PS. Thats a nice Bullshot , but the game wont look half as good as that

It'll be the same deal as ever, rendered in the photo mode. Still in game assets, models,lighting and textures.
I think it will look like that, just 720p.
I fully expect they've picked a very pretty area to show off as the 1st shot anyway.

Hurgghhhhhh......urghghhhhh......hype....rising..

[Neon Ignition]

In the stills it's looking really nice, have to see it properly in game though to get any sense of hype as Halo is aged ragged so this needs to refresh it in play as well.

Through the link is the image of the back of an action figure packet for Halo 4 which shows images of two new enemy types for the game.

That's the boxart apparently

[SkilloChris]

That looks awesome. Also barely any orange to go with all the blue, so that's a plus!

Wow, left-handed gunplay! Must be some kind of Covenant weapon. 3D looks good, too, like the gun's actually coming out of the screen. Can't wait!
