Today, as i was surfing through the internet for Halo 4 information, i stumbled on this Video. it is a possible Halo 4 menu “accessed” from Halo Anniversary. it looks stunning.
I mean the menu looks really, really good.
So halo 4umers, would you like this as a menu for Halo 4?
Note that this is fan made, and NOT a leak. Though i know many of you would know this, there is that small percent that will try to get this locked for leaked content.
I think something like this would be fantastic. It’d be different from the vertical options we’ve always had and still be easy to navigate. It really makes me wish this wasn’t fake.
This might not be fake. I saw an article that linked to this video. It said that there was a previous video (That was exactly like this video) that got taken down due to copyright violation.
Regardless, this will probably get locked as it is both fake and probably a leak.
It’s very well done (and obviously fan-made), though I can’t say I’m a fan of the design. It’s one of those things where they needlessly made it complicated when it could just stay simple.

Yes, because it’s so easy to take the concept art into After Effects to give it dynamics, but rendering a camera pan around a single scene is hard work.

Just seems like they didn’t have enough time to make a nice looking main menu, so they said “Quick guys, throw some concept art in there, they won’t notice!”.
The Concept art looks nice, but it’s concept art. It looks really out of place when it’s in-game next to actual 3D stuff like the text and menus. In-game stuff next to other in-game stuff looks good (sorry, I don’t know the techincal terms for these sort of things).
Also, I’m pretty sure Bungie said during the Reach Beta that the concept art was just a placeholder. I guess they just didn’t have enough time to take it out.
This would actually turn me off playing the game. The Halo 3, ODST and Reach menu’s are the best. Please don’t make them different Reach’s being the best for obvious reasons with the active roster.
