This Screenshot (thanks to GristlyStew731) certainetly has a lot to be discussed. Firstly, if you look to the bottom left, just above the map, you see what appears to be an armor ability. It’s hard to tell what it is but it looks a lot like the cryptum that just flew past the chief. Secondly, we see that the covenant are also interested in the sphere. They already have their ships in pursuit of the object so this must mean that they were only a little behind the chief in the lead-up to the piece of gameplay we witnessed at E3. Either they were working with him to try and escape the cage that is Requeim, or they were following the chief, and the previous mission likely included running away. Either way, it’s sure to be interesting! Finally, I want to discuss the window at the top left, which currently has Cortana displayed in it. I really like how 343 have updated the HUD in this game as in Halo 3 I found it a little annoying how every so often a blue face would pop up and obscure my vision completely. I think it’s also interesting that the window can change between displays to show the captain of the infinity, later in the trailer. I’d also like to say that the graphics are, as clearly shown by this screenshot, completely amazing and I can’t wait for Halo 4 now!
So, What does everyone else think about this image? It’s pretty obviously an action-packed screenshot and there’s plenty to discuss!
Do you think that the thing I referred to as an armor ability could be something different?
What do you think the covenant are up too?
How do you like the new HUD?
