Forum:What do you think of the Halo 4 and CE Anniversary E3 trailers?

Well I thought that the graphics for both are awesome and gameplay looks amazing.Zoomerkilla 08:04, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I am looking forward to the Anniversary edition so much. It's exactly what I've wanted - a campaign-only remake of Halo, paired with Reach-based multiplayer maps, ala ODST. Hopefully Microsoft don't make the same mistake they did with ODST and price it like a proper retail game. Excitement toward November will be rising! As for Halo 4, I reserve judgement - trailers are meant to create excitement and build hype, not to actually be representative of the product itself. There's some minor problems, ie; the MJOLNIR redesign and Cortana apparently having covered up (about time, the poor girl must be freezing!) but, as I said, these are minor. Until I know more, I really don't have much to base it on. Are we fighting Flood? Sentinels? Forerunners? Precursors? Some other race entirely that the Covenant had to defend themselves against while they obliterated humanity that now fills toe power vacuum? Time will tell. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   08:14, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I completely agree! When I heard the rumours of a Halo: CE remake, I was hoping for exactly what we're getting; fully remade campaign with shared Reach multiplayer. And I can happily inform you that it is not a fully priced game, it's going to cost a very fair $39.99. I'm sure the price will be similar in other countries as well. As for Halo 4, there's been hints that we're going to be fighting a completely new enemy, which I think is a smart move and a great new direction for the series. Surely my poor grammar and punctuation is evidence of how excited I am. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   (Talk)  08:25, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * My eyes watered - in a masculine way, of course - when I saw the announcement trailer for Combat Evolved Anniversary. The only very minor irks that I have are about aesthetics. Most notably, the 'looking out the troop bay' Marine from The Silent Cartographer has an Army emblem on his shoulder pauldron; you know the pentagon with the diagonal stripe? I also noticed that the shotgun-armed Marines on 343 Guilty Spark have M45s rather than M90s. Apparently, the MA5 has been retconned into looking like the MA37; they're the same weapon, though, so it's not a big deal. Like I said, though, these are very minor shortcomings and very well may be fixed before release. I'm immeasurably excited for Anniversary!


 * When I first saw the Halo 4 announcement trailer, my jaw dropped. It remained open for about five minutes until I finally regained control of my nervous system; speaking of nervous systems, the transition from "space" to John's neurons is very cool. I'd always hoped that John's fate would A) never be told and remain a cliffhanger forever, or B) be told in novel or comic form. However, I'm glad to see that, since 343 Industries is going to continue the Chief's story through three new games, they're doing it exactly as I've always imagined. The Legendary planet is a Shield World? Excellent! Maybe Spirit of Fire was dragged to the same place. Maybe it's an alternate entrance to the Sharpened Shield: the Onyx Shield World. Time will tell. While I do find the redesign of John's armor a little off-putting, as the Mark VI, aside from the gauntlets, has looked the same since Halo 2, it looks awesome. I just hope that Jen Taylor returns and Cortana actually looks like Cortana in the game.


 * As Specops suggested, and as I've discussed with Exalted Obliteration, I believe that the Precursors are the "ancient threat" that John must face. "...[O]ur vengeance is at hand." Ominous indeed. I find this theory quite likely, as this article claims that John is destined to perform far greater feats than he did during the Human-Covenant War. Exalted Obliteration and I also think that the Flood are the transcendent form of the Precursors, by the way. --Courage never dies. 09:23, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * my guess as to the possible meaning of the Halo 4 trailer; i bet it's a massive elite ship rescuing a super confused Master Chief. the Human-Elite Alliance is under attack by a new alien empire from the far side of the galaxy. and MASTER CHIEF HAS A GRENADE PISTOL!!!!!!!!--User talk:Acceptable overkill

i like the idea of the spirit of fire thing, ive always wanted to see that ship again, and as for the redisigning they have done, i like the armor on chief, except the chest armor, looks too....organic. and as for cortana, I HATE WHAT THEY DID! she isnt even atractive anymore, before she was very atractive (common, u have to admit that)and for the mechanized planet, i have no idea what it is, it may or may not be forrunner, the precurser idea is good, aswell they all died out, the furruners were defeated by the flood, but what defeated the precusers? i hope to see more, after this game, i think this site is going to have a major boom in number of pages.

what u think? sincerely--The Grave Mind 11:56, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

I just finished wathching Halo - Legends: Origen II, and there is a clue i noticed theat either means nothing, or something significant, in the end of that video, if u pay-attention to Cortana,(this being the last known visualization of her before the biginning of the Halo 4 trailer) Her iris' turn red, and a forrunner symbol glows in them. as i said, it may mean nothing, but it may mean something happened to her, and may show its affects in Halo 4, wat ya'll think of my idea?--The Grave Mind 19:29, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

I was naturally very surprised to see both of the announcement. I'm a little worried about the future of Halo with 343 Industries. But as long as they maintain the same quality as Bungie, I'll be fine with the transition of developers. I'm particularly interested in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary due to the fact that information and news has been revealed about it (trailers, articles, etc), I've always wondered what a Halo: Combat Evolved would be like and I think it ultimately sounds promising to introduce even more gamers to Halo: Combat Evolved and allow others to relive the experience.

I am not really as interested with Halo 4 because I have no idea where it will be set (besides the Unidentified planet), what threat we will be facing, what we will be fighting and what characters we will playing through the story with (Besides John-117 and Cortana). Halo 4 is essentially in it's speculation stage. I look forward to more information being revealed about it. But until that, I cannot find myself getting largely excited. -- Brute Honour Guard  ( "Talk" ) 02:11, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
