The footage shown on Gametrailer looks AMAZING! Forerunner mission looks good, I love night missions! And it doesn’t look to dark to me, just the right amount of light. Which is awesome. From the sections of the first mission shown, I was thinking that’d make a great demo! There’d be only covenant, it’d still be a surprise on how to fight the Prometheans when final game comes out. Plus they could cut it off so no one knows what the cutscene of the end of that mission looks like. I don’t know just a thought.
<mark>ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT SWEET ASSASSINATION ON THE KNIGHT? He grabbed the Knights sword and stapped him with it!</mark> <mark>Spartan OPs coming up now! Everyone stay tuned!</mark>
They showing so much it’s ridiculous. Info blowout for Campaign, Spartan Ops, and Multi-player news! Dominion is a BTB base capturing game mode that fortifies your bases in tiers. Solace looks amazing.
There looks like there will be some massive battles. I saw what seemed to be a fairly large battle between the covenant and prometheans, while chief was walking up to the scene with a suppresor.

Yeah it did seem like a pretty big info dump for the game still being a little over month away. But it all excited me, I thought it all looked great!
> yeah i can’t find any of this stuff people are saying.
It was just aired on SPIKE TV as an exclusive for them. So if it’s not on SPIKE’s Gametrailers site, There may not be any videos of it till tomorrow. But just in case I’d check youtube and sort by “uploaded today” otherwise you might have to wait till tomorrow
The thing that really stood out for me in regards to the Campaign was the scene where Chief encounters the Promethians and the Covenant fighting each other. This reminds me of the old days of Halo when you would encounter two different enemy factions fighting each other, then be thrown into the midst of it. Remember the mission from Halo 2 when MC has to fight his way through the Covenant civil conflict between the Brutes and Elites? Or the times when the Flood attacked the Covenant? I would love if Halo 4 can capture this same feeling.

The prioritization was great!
The enemies were focusing so hard on the other enemy that they didn’t very often notice Chief.
While this may seem to lessen difficulty, it’s definitely worth it. More intense AI battles!!
I always wanted to watch huge battles play out from the sidelines (Theater isn’t the same thing. you have to play the level then exit the campaign menu, head over to Theater, wait for the film to load, then fast forward until you get to that particular clip). Looks like I’ll be getting my chance… again.
I hope there are opportunities where we can try to help a side win and they don’t immediately start shooting at you. Fighting alongside Zealots on Two Betrayals and hearing Elites make remarks on my performance on Gravemind was really great.
But in Halo 3, I didn’t feel any special connection with the AI not to mention the third tower was the only opportunity to watch Loyalists fight the Flood. People often have to bring Cloaking or Invincibility because the Brutes and Hunters tend to demolish the Flood while focusing intently on you. Yes Chief is supposed to be special and yes he stands out with his green armor, but in past Halo games, focusing on the player would result in death due to the overwhelming strength of the other enemy.
