In that absolutely spectacular demo, we saw Chief activate a VISR is this the Forerunner vision or just a new VISR mode like ODST?
That demo made me faint and -Yoink- so when i woke up there was a big mess.
I almost blew me up!
I think that was the Promethean Vision(Formally known as Forerunner Vision). The description of the AA matched what was shown. :S
I think that may have been a campaign version of Forerunner Vision…
Looks like it’ll be similar to that, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the ODST VISR. Looked like it scanned the terrain and picked out enemies so you could see in impossible conditions. It wasn’t just a red or green highlight of something.

Maybe yes. I like that thought.

yes i know! so awesome!
Cortana did say “activating VISR mode”. So I think it’s VISR.
As a bit of lore:
The ODST VISR is not as sophisticated as the MJOLNIR system.
Don’t ask me why a flashlight is used by soldiers who can see a much wider electromagnetic spectrum beyond getting the answer “It was gameplay for the time”, but the Headhunters in the short “Headhunters” should never have been surprised by the invisible Elites as their suits should always be scanning for infrared-anomalies.
Funny enough, since GRAW, the Ghosts in Ghost Recon have had the most advanced and sci-fi proper visual mode in FPS’s and the ODST’s and Spartans are lacking in their lore to gameplay technologies.
Thankfully H4 seeks to alleviate this.
It kinda reminded me of the “Analyze” feature on Halo CEA. It was sick.
