E3 2012: Halo 4 Demo

Glad to see that Halo continues to play with light and color in their art design. Nice, refreshing change from the browns and gunmetal grey that is so common in shooters. The game does have a great look to it. Nice job Jeremy.

Go Captain King!

Halo: Call of Duty Edition?

The game LOOKS great, but sprint and ADS just made me think of everything BUT Halo.

Huh?

I didn't see any ADS there. All weapons in this demo were scoped, and scopes handled the same way as they always do in Halo.

I could give a crap about Halo.

That looked pretty cool.

I'm getting a Metroid Prime 2 vibe from this.

If anybody seems to be misremembering the sounds its because they redid all of the sounds in this game and based it on real life weapons.

Chief seems awfully chatty

Think this looks pretty great. Love the forest environment and the atmosphere. Also definitely approve of more chatter from Cortana.

Don't think I've been this excited about Halo since Halo 2.

I haven't played a Halo game since Halo 3. Looks like I'll give the series another go.

I don't care much about Halo at this point, but man, that looked pretty impressive.

Urm, why is Master Chief fighting General Grievous?

@jakob187: ive mostly played the games for the single player campaigns actually.

Then you're missing out. ODST was very interesting for the way they did it, and Reach was the best Halo game yet (imho).

Oh there's the forerunner battle rifle and the forerunner shotgun.

The game LOOKS great, but sprint and ADS just made me think of everything BUT Halo. I need to see the multiplayer to make a full decision. Single player is not what people come to Halo for...even though the Forerunner story is intriguing to me.

Where in the trailer did he ever aim down the sight? Weapon zoom as shown in this demo has always been in Halo. The CE pistol, the sniper rifle, the BR, the carbine, the beam rifle, the DMR, the rocket launcher... you get the idea. And from experience with Halo: Reach, I don't think sprinting severely changes the dynamic of the game.

Also, I come to Halo for the single player every bit as much as the multiplayer. A lot of fans do -- especially with co-op.

Alright they refreshed the single player now they need to sell me on new multiplayer.

this x1000

Dunno about how I feel about Chief talking so damn much.Chatterbox.

Okay, that looked definitely like Halo, and those new alien creatures look really vicious.

People liked that Halo 4 demo? Really? It looked dull. I think the Splinter Cell demo right after it blew it out of the water. Halo's game play looks very dated, its a corridor shooter no matter where they put it Canyons become corridors... jungles become corridors....crashed ships become corridors. Do they think fans would get confused if they were not being lead by the nose?

What are you even saying? Halo has been one of the most open ended first person shooter franchises in history. A lot of the levels are essentially very large arenas. It's as sandbox as you can get without being an open world game, which it sort of once was with ODST.

cmon halo, more quiet exploration less shoot shoot shoot.

good sound effects.

Why aare you fighting elites?

I come almost exclusively for single player, with a small smattering of MP for a few days.

Looks, and sounds, like Metroid Prime.

Sick.

I'm in no way a fan, but considering this looks awesome and I own the console it's exclusive too, I'll probably pick it up, which if you told me that a week ago I would have laughed at you. Damnit!

Yeah. A really snazzy my balls are tingling-Metroid Prime.
