Update (9/5): I wanted to bump this thread to see everyone’s thoughts now that so much info has come out. So, what is your favorite feature that has been released.
Something that you saw in Pax Gameplay, or vidoc - A Hero Awakens?
I’m more excited for the campaign after I saw the new vidoc: it looks like it’ll be an emotional campaign. I’m also more excited for the DMR after seign it in Pax gameplay.
Update (4/14): With so much more info having been released wanted to resurrect this tread.
So, what revealed feature gets you most excited for Halo 4?
Mine is all info surrounding the Campaign and Spartan-ops. If I have to choose one thing it’s the reveal of the first level in Game Informer. I don’t think there is a better way to start Halo 4 than to have an epic reminder of what Halo 3 was like. I imagine the nostalgia I will feel, all the while knowing, and wanting, that in the coming level it’ll all be changed.
Original Post:
What revealed feature got you the most excited?
So many were revealed:
Chiefs new look
Bigger focus on Chief as a character
Experience of “feeling” like a Spartan
Ginormous Weapon and Vehicle Sandbox (BR return included along with single shot weapons also)
New MP experience with Halo core still intact
Gorgeous new engine
Assassinations back
Armor customization
and so much more…
The reveal that got me most excited at the moment of my first viewing of the ViDoc was Chiefs new look. I remember at Halo Fest they said they essentially were making him look like a tank, I say that mission was accomplished. He really does look like a half ton of tank and jet fighter.
I’m really excited about the BR returning and another single shot weapon like the DMR returning. So there could be a weapon that has equal power to the BR is both are used correctly… exciting.
The promise of finally, after four games, making us feel like Spartan super-soldiers for the first time.
Will they follow through on this? Most likely not. It’s likely that we’re just going to wind up feeling like girl scouts as always. But the prospect of it has me excited none the less.

Agreed this is really important to me too. I’m glad that the BR isn’t the only returning. I like options.

it would be pretty sweet if they just had every weapon from every halo game…
Ehhh. I’m not very much excited more worried, but I guess I’m excited for the campaign and the mystery surrounding it, as well as firefight and forge (assuming they are in the game, and it would suck if they weren’t).

I’m so excited for a more cinematic campaign. At the same time I hope that the gameplay is still Halo. I don’t want to just watch a Halo movie for the campaign, I want to watch a Halo movie and have epic gameplay and engagements.

I’m really looking forward to a new take on the Multiplayer. I’m pretty sure 343 will keep it feeling like Halo should, but it’ll be faster paced than Reach was.
Really excited to learn about the multiplayer co-op innovation. If it’s half as epic as they are hinting at it’ll be fun.
the graphics and the fact that they are making you “feel” like a spartan the fact that its gonna seem like chief really weighs half a ton. putting on your helmet feels like a jet starting up this is gonna be amazing!
I would have to say the graphical lighting effects. They look so Forerunner when implemented on maps. I personally can’t wait for the release of future info.
I can’t choose what I’m excited about most, really. First of all, I’m excited to see how a different company will handle the Halo franchise, and admittedly a little worried, but I have hope, and I’m glad it’s not in the hands of a company like Activision or Bioware.
More specifically, I’m looking forward to seeing how 343 will make the single-player different from the original trilogy’s. So far they have said all the right things: bringing in more of the book canon, focusing on Chief’s humanity (honestly I can think of a thousand ways for them to screw this up but I still think they will do well with it), introducing a new foe while still including the Covenant and having them play a dynamic role in the story, and a hinted-at “vehicle surprise”. I can’t wait for the Fall.
This isn’t what excited me most when I first saw the ViDoc, but I am really excited to see where the Halo Universe goes at this point. I’ve read all the books and enjoy the Universe so the thought of added story is awesome (especially since it is finally more about the Chef).
