What about where “Team Friki” said something about Chief on the Infinity getting ready to go to war in the last level? Don’t know if that’s legit info or they said that for the Conan interview and whatnot.
Yes?
Normally, I’d be internally raging (I don’t like raging here because you get banned for everything), but that movement… Man, that movement is perfect. Why couldn’t Bungie have done that for Reach? It would have made up for most the crap in the game.

If you read what I said before, that was confirmed this afternoon already, actually it was confirmed last night basicly, and the footage I saw said nothing about the date from what I remember.

I actually thought that was the “best” part.

It’s 343i we’ve barely gotten any information, other than the GI article and resulting podcast, in the past 9 or so months since the announcement trailer. You should be surprised we saw anything.
Release date + the podcast was a relatively good amount of news for one day.
I was kinda hoping the announcement of 1-50. But I got RvB which is good enough for now.

Okay, look, I’m just trying to explain the point of view of some people, myself included. I like what I saw, I was excited for the little bits, small though they were. Why do you want to trample on that? Let people have their cake, it doesn’t affect you.
I thought the skit was pretty funny. Then again I love me some Conan. The 9 seconds of game play was pretty mouth watering as well!
The most disappointing part about all of this to me is the sound of the Battlerifle, I was hoping for some real power.
Now don’t anyone go complaining about 343 they just released two red vs blue Halo 4 trailers, the new podcast with details on Multiplayer and Gave 10 seconds of gameplay footage. This is a lot better then what we had last week, don’t you agree?
> Frankie himself said the news would be very minor.
Yeah, I saw that, but the Halo twitter pages should ring in their statements then.
Hype only goes so far.

True, but I just wanted to see how the game actually plays for more than ten seconds.
Well its cause from watching the gameplay you can determine the jump+strafe speed and what appears to be the removal of movement acceleration.
Overly hyped, nothing delivered.
Glad they got it out of the way early so I can get back on and play something.
And YES, I will be pummeling Conan’s character once I locate him.
Over and over . . . and over.
Podcast had quite a bit of info
This was just a random PR/hype thing for fun, not so much of any type of reveal… though the few seconds of footage shows a lot more about movement mechanics. Of course 343 had already promised this kind of movement, though we hadn’t fully confirmed the level of strafe/jump in 1st-person for ourselves yet.

Still, 10 seconds is a lot better then nothing and if we get another 10 seconds each week, we’ll have hours of gameplay before release 
Sure, an unedited 10-15 minutes slayer game would be even better, but you got to start somewhere ^^
Well, at least we know it’s a four shot BR.
