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.

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.
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?

True, but I just wanted to see how the game actually plays for more than ten seconds.
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 ^^
The big news was Connan doing VO work for Halo 4 and that 10 second reveal, which i might add the latter was pretty cool. I need to see more though or else i’ll start expecting life to satisfy me at 10 second intervals. Which will lead to disappointment. Or I’ll keep playing the clip over and over. Or both.
With almost eight months to go until release, I’ll take anything I can get my grubby little hands on. Besides, I thought Conan was pretty funny. I actually hope all that dialogue they recorded makes it into an easter egg.
