Quick Look: Halo 4

Wort wort wort!

WHAM

yay

Demon!

NOT FIRST !!!

Let's finish the fight! Again!

YAAA!!

woot

How are you people even doing this?!

John Spartan

Guys I hear you shoot things

I don't even care that much for Halo, but I really need my QL fix.

The demon is dead! BY MY HANDS!

Really enjoyed this campaign. Would like to see something more different from Halo gameplay-wise, but it's still a very fun and distinctive formula.

Shoot ALL the Halos!

Let me reintroduce you two. Grunt meet rifle, rifle meet Grunt.

So damn excited for this!!!

Anyone else have issues streaming off of their proprietary videos? They've been locking up on me - can only watch it on Youtube.

Lets do this

Ah, remember the times when Quick Looks were actually quick? :o

wow this looks like fun immediately

Right off the bat you tell that E3 presentation was 100% bullshit.

They were quick for maybe and handful of them, then they turned into the awesome things they are now.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU SAY GOODBYE BUT I SAY HALO!

im going halo over call of duty this year.

Halo Goes Forth: The Haloing

I don't remember Halo:CE looking this good.

EDIT: Right off the bat, a turret sequence. Good job 343!

EDIT 2: You know for a game that's about shooting a million dudes you'd think the weapons would have some variety, not just paint a straight line from you to the enemy and AI not be just stand in open spaces and shoot at you when you get in vision range.

EDIT 3: I love how everything Brad and Jeff say about the game in the QL make it sound mediocre as shit.

Can I get a Halo 4 Spoilercast?

Do guns shoot?

Been waiting for this quick look, should be good.

Quicklook...Check.

as we can see in this quick look, i was right about every thing i said in regards to jeff and his perception and approach to halo games. the multiplayer doesnt click for him , never has, and he should have handed the game to someone who has had a history of under standing it. like i said, its like ryan reviewing starcraft 2. really, its my input into this scenario, and im not angry or emotionally effected by it in any way, its just a truth that ive witnessed.

Yeah, glad I didn't get it, just bringing back old memories of other Halo games, just don't care for them anymore except the first one

same here

Kind of wish Drew was in this quick look. Jeff has never been the biggest Halo fan (which is totally fine), so having Drew and Jeff would help to give a better view from different mindsets.

Yeah, just hearing "eehhhhh" a bunch of times isn't much fun.

I'm surprised Jeff did the QL. I would have thought someone else would have covered it since Jeff isn't big into Halo. Regardless, I'm looking forward to watching this at lunch today.

Maybe Drew is going to QL Call of Duty as some kind of cultural video game exhange.

The game looks really sharp. Good on 343.

And yet he gave Halo 3 a 9.5.

Aleins, guns, helmets! Oh my!

Interesting to see & will run through the campaign when I get it though after Halo3 (and playing a little of it in ODST/Reach), think I'm done with the multiplayer in the Halo franchise. Something about the hollow upgrades in Halo games/Waypoint where to me just doesn't give me enough incentive to keep going. Been happy with the upgrade progress in Gotham City Imposters/Battlefield3/ect. where playing gives better gear not just different looking armor.

Is Jeff a Lefty like me? :D

You know, Fishstick.

Like COD.

I just finished playing Halo CE: Anniversary that I got a year ago (lol) and the music really fits every mood and situation in the game perfectly. Haven't played this one yet, so I can't agree or disagree completely, but I couldn't really hear much in this QL.

After watching some of this I was reminded of how much I am sick of halo at this point. This looks so boring to me.

Fishstick.... COD. Very clever 343.

I really agree with @Brad regarding the music. While it is certainly fine in this game, I don't feel that it really stands out in a way that is memorable. While I think each individual track is excellent, Halo4's music seems to miss an overarching motif that the other Halo soundtracks have.

The perspective of someone who isn't a hard boiled Halo veteran is just as valuable as someone who can specifically talk to those people. It's up to the game to make him "understand" it - it's not like Jeff has never played Halo before.

I can't take Jeff seriously
