You know what, I just couldn't give a fuck about halo anymore. This isn't something important, but after watching this video, it's the only thing I could think of. Maybe it's cause I played the shit out of the first 3, maybe it's cause I haven't turned on my xbox in over a year. Who knows.

This isn't to hate on it, cause it looks like a well made game. Just sayin'.

Between the low health, the universal sprint and the loadouts (complete with straight up perks), I'm getting kind of skeptical about 343's influence on this.

Is it just the video, or does the game play look faster than the previous games? It looks quick. I know it's not the video. I think it looks good!

Wait... did I hear him right? You auto pick up the flag when you run over it? and you can't drop it? If so, that completely goes against what Halo CTF is about at higher levels of play.

This segment was hard to watch, the banter between the 343 dudes and Brad was horrible, mainly on the 343 side. Those guys are unfunny DICKS.

Anyone who is offended by this is an idiot. Brad and Ellis go way back, if you can't detect this sarcasm you are a moron.

Man, I have NEVER enjoyed Halo's MP. Honestly, I just don't like the way the games feel, period. I mean, they have some decent moments, but I feel like something big is missing in them.

What annoys me about these videos is how the reticle for the guns is UNDER THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN.

Seriously, it kills me for some reason.

Nice, I was hoping they would upload this in HD. Cheers for showing off a good amount of raw gameplay.

Game looks great, way less tearing than the Reach engine.

Brad actually owned a guy w/ the DMR at one point, nice shots.

It's a way to open up the screen to allow for more vertical play, and more jumping while dodging, and still allowing for situational awareness.. it's not a design choice made lightly

"Quit being so brad." Ah xD

But yeah I dont think he cares, and to be honest it's more patronising not to mock him. They know he isnt bad, chances are the people he's playing against have had a lot more experience with the game.

As for the game itself, Halo's multiplayer has been getting worse with each incarnation.(and arguably Halo as a whole) And as much as I want this to be the game to get me back on board, Codifying it isnt the answer.

Everything I see about Halo 4 makes it look more and more like every other shooter. The way loadouts work, the hit markers, and the kitchen sink of weapons just doesn't feel like Halo anymore. Oh well, back to all the quality PC shooters.

As has been mentioned, Dave Ellis and Brad go way back. You might also recognize him from the live E3 shows this year, and in previous years. It was all in good fun.

Why does David Ellis keep disrespecting Brad? Doesn't he know he is a true American hero?

Meh, looks like the same old game. Big weapons do no damage, pistols are better for distant shots...so yeah typical Halo crazy that makes no sense. Some people get off on that I guess, just like some people find 800 lb people sexy.
