pic breakdown

so in this pic you see a couple of new things like the new grenade symbol and armor ability.

i think the new armor ability symbol is the forerunner vision because if you look at the outside of the pic there’s a circle rainbow and it acts as if that is part of your vision… but i could be wrong.

i also noticed somthing else…if you look close at the radar you notice that the spartan on radar shows up as an arrow. i think its kinda wired for them to do that but whatever.

anyways what do you guys think the armor ability might be and what do guys think the new grenade is too?

edit* i just noticed one more thing. the radical is gone in the pic. this might be this way because he is using forerunner vision

lol it’s reticle not radical

There will be a reticle this is just a alpha stage screenshot. Pretty much every game doesn’t develop the HUD fully until the final stages of development.

Here’s a better breakdown for you does a dance to dubstep, I kid. Here’s the actual breakdown: A broken car.

Okay I promise, no more puns.

Let’s start with the radar - The red upwards facing arrow indicates a hostile that is higher than the player’s current position, just above the radar there is the Armour Ability visible, it is not being used, hence nothing else is special on the screen - the rainbow is a simple thing called a solar flare, it’s a bright map, and that’s light reflecting and refracting off of the visor, the third slot in the grenades is either a new type of forerunner grenade, or equipment. There is no reticule possibly because the player was sprinting, and just exited sprint mode.

I think the rainbow is just a lighting effect. Not sure what the AA is, but Frankie said in one of his neogaf posts that we won’t be seeing forerunner vision in action for a while

They did the same thing in reach, but the arrow is either temporary, or to be more clear that an enemy is, in this case, above you.

The reticle is either not done yet, or in halo 4 certain weapons now lack the reticle unless zoomed in. would certainly add skill to no scopes, haha.

Edit: Or what the guy above me said (about the reticle). the “lack of reticle to make no scopes difficult” was more of a joke.

I think the rainbow is just light affects on the visor, like in Battlefield 3.

ZOMG does that mean the evil sun will kill our eyes too? (sun must be ancient enemy lol)
