The re-make of Valhalla really shows how much better Halo 4 looks than Halo 3. Mechs are something that I didn't want in Halo, but since this is 6 years in the the future of the Halo universe I guess it can be justified.

Oh man, maybe I am interested in this game. Mechs are the best!

Valhalla!! Shit i loved that map so much. Even though it would never happen i would love just a MP only releases of Halo 4 with just all the old maps from previous Halo games.

I do not want tea-bagging mechs (or dubstep) in Halo. But I do love Valhalla.

Everything I see of this game just keeps getting better and better!

Was super pumped about all this new Halo 4 stuff, this, however, I'm not really liking this addition too much. Not gonna judge till I play it obviously, but mechs feel kinda weird to me in a Halo game, especially one that resembles your general every-day mech that you can see in many other games.

I will say that all of this Dubstep over the trailers shit is super weak...

Mech T-bagging.

Damn it, I swore I'd never buy gold again and up until now I was sure of that. And now I'm not. I want to play this game now...

Ehhhh... I love mechs, but that trailer was very lackluster once it actually got to the mech itself. And that animation on that mech just seems all sorts of off.

Wow, that looks really out of place and poorly animated to boot.

Where is my avalanche remake!?

This is dumb. Mechs in the Halo universe are just outdated MJOLNIR armor.

Also, fuck that dubstep shit.

And yet more reasons why I won't play a Halo title that isn't made by Bungie!

That looks so out of place.

This is rad. Who cares if it looks 'out of place'? You want the same Halo game every time?

Apparently at least some people do, to answer your question.

This looks weird.

Metal...Gear?!

OMG, it's OP, NERF IT NOW!

The way the legs on the Mantis looks and moves seems out of place in the universe. I usually think of cheap, bulky and built to last when it comes to the UNSC's arsenal.

I haven't played a Halo game in a while and that looks like something that may bring me back, if only out of curiosity.

Also, isn't it pretty easy to filter Halo games and such? The people that don't want to use it should be able to find mech-free games, right? I honestly don't know though, just asking.

As others have mentioned, that looks suuuuuper out of place! Maybe it's because it's terribly animated.

Everything about this is turning me off of Halo 4.

I love Valhalla, a classic Halo 3 map.

Uh the tea bagging at the end. Fuckin Halo.

Mechs can suck my balls but FUCK YEAH VALHALLA

Man, that map looks gorgeous. As for the actual mech... I dunno. I've never really used vehicles all that much, and that thing looks overpowered as all hell. But I'll save any real criticisms for when the game comes out.

*shrug* I'd rather have 343 put in something that looks a little different then play it safe. There's way too much of that in the industry especially with popular titles.

ED 209

It does look out of place.

note that in most of the vehicle kills and the player kills the mech isn't even being shot at, so the mech may be really weak as far as armor goes.

I don't even think CoD has mechs. You thought out of the box with this one, 343.

If they really don't have any Promethean vehicles, that's stupid.

That might be the most generic looking mech

I don't like the legs on that mech.

And in general, I don't like mechs outside of the mech genre because they tend to be shit. Powerful, but shit. But Halo's vehicles were always fun and easy to maneuver, so maybe it could be good.

Hmmm... Don't really know what I think of this from just a video. I'll try to keep an open mind. I do agree with Valhalla looking great and enough of this dub step shit already.

Halo just got a little less dumb, but the teabagging at the end... a mech won't be enough to bring me back to that franchise.

Not sure about the mech, don't really care that much. The map looks like a really good remake though.

Lol wut?

Promethean vehicles would be stupid, why the hell would AI's drive Vehicles when they can BE them?

Isn't it confirmed that they have Promethean vehicles? I think I remember Brad saying something to that effect during that little stream he was in with Drew and Chris Watters.

@big_jon: I don't know why and I don't care. The vehicles would assemble around you, that's the important thing.

Ok, now take the mech, and in single player, rather than giving it to the player for an on-rails vehicle section, have them piloted by marines who are fighting the enemy alongside you while you're on foot.

Ya know what? I think it's fine. I also think the music is totally appropriate for quickly showing off a multiplayer feature. 
 
Maybe I should post this in the unpopular opinions thread...

I don't know, it seems like it could easily become overpowered if they don't balance it right. And I think I'm over dubstep being in things related to games. Hopefully by next year there will be another dumb type of music to put in trailers.

You know what Microsoft Games should do? Hire someone to make a new Mechassault game for the xbox. Just saying, this video kind of makes me think of Mechassault 1 & 2.

You have my sword.

And I didn't really think that music was dub-steppy (especially compared to the other one). Just seemed like some out of place electronica. Sure the bass is kinda turned up and slinky, but that's par for the course these days.

The production values of these trailers that 343 have been putting out are embarrassing compared to Bungie's stuff. I know that kind of music is currently popular for trailers and teasers, but it feels super out of place in a Halo video.

The mechs look cool, somewhat strange in the Halo environment especially considering it is being featured on an old Halo 3 map. I really hope we can have 16 of those things fighting at once.

i just wish they didn't make it so it could fucking teabag :(

I agree so fucking much!

I was really impressed with the mech until the DEVELOPERS made it teabag. Ugh, I know it's a Halo... thing... but why encourage it at a creator level? Oh well, very cool aside from that.

PUT THAT CRYSTAL BALL AWAY BEFORE THEY CATCH YOU WITH IT!

Looks pretty cool but I'm more excited for the return of Valhalla! Man, good to see that one again. Just about all the maps from Reach really bored me, so I'm glad to see an old favourite.
