Well that's interesting. Valhalla does indeed look gorgeous. The mech might be like the elephants or the gauss hog, in some games but not all. I'm hoping for that, or at least some sort of classics playlist that doesn't include it. That being said it isn't terrible, as long as it isn't a total power whore (which unfortunately the video was edited to imply).

Valhalla is my favorite map out of the series, so I'm happy. The vid really showed the mech as it finished killing people, and not real combat situations. I'd imagine the slow turn speed makes it difficult to target other vehicles, or a sprinting spartan. Plus it's huge, not like it can really find cover.
I swear to god. If dubstep even remotely appears in Halo 4, I'm snapping my disc in half.
And seriously, a tea bagging mech? What the hell. Ughhhhhh.
Frankies face when seeing Dub step in Halo:
:ohboy:
Right Exam?

Dubstep is only bad if it's shit dubstep. Also, most of you hate it because you've heard shit dubstep. Most of you also hate it because it's turning into a cliche. So shut the fuck up about Dubstep being in the game and don't take the music in the trailer that seriously. It's blatantly obvious the point of the trailer is to evoke a fun and intentionally quirky cinematic.
The teabagging is hilarious when watching it from the mech. I know Halo as having that potential to be funny because of its randomness and shenanigans. I was a bit worried that the game wouldn't have so much of it because of the realism it's trying to incorporate, but my faith has been restored. It's simply looking more like a Halo game, even though it has many additions/differences, with each media release.
The sounds still suck though.
I've hated Dubstep since before hating Dubstep was cool, before even liking it was cool to be fair.Quote:

As for this being Halo?

The logical fallacy is having a genetically engineered spartan in the latest MJOLNIR running about in an aging mech is so ironic it's not even in the same post code of being funny.
That's cool. I'm not a big dubstep person myself. However, don't call a game shit because the music choice for the score isn't the same as it was in the past. This isn't Marty anymore and after accepting that I find a lot more acceptance in the musical styles they're implementing. Sorry for being crass Cobby, just pointing at the people who hate dubstep because it's a cliche or for bad reasoning. I'll edit that to be more specific and so I don't come off as crass.Quote:

Basically, in an argument, it provides no purpose other than to show that two different cinematics are similar in how they're representing a story segment. Cutscene you're poking fun at:
The only similarities are that the Chief is facing in the same direction as that character, there's a cliff edge behind him, then a spherical object appearing behind him. That's it. Pretty easy concept to be quite honest. If you plan to use just that picture, then you've failed your argument. If you had a video that shows the cinematics being the same in cotnext, then I could understand your argument having any ground.
The logical fallacy in pointing out the oddness of a Spartan getting in the Mech is that the Mech provides more firepower and other advantages than just being on foot with a rifle. What you're saying is like pointing out how stupid it is to use a smaller gun when you have a larger gun and vice versa. And the "aging mech" argument is defeated by stating the same concept could be applied to the Scorpion, which we all know is just as easy to deal with and can be just as deadly.
Look at this Hunter:
Attachment 3028
It's pretty boss.
Considering a large portion of the Halo 4 marketing with that giant black ball bearing which flies around, it does have some semblance of the movie "The Prisoner", thus the picture was not out of context at all.Quote:

First, Halo Wars has great music and a great score. Not just from my opinion, but considering it's a technically well-built score in general. It's not the same as the FPS' scores, but who cares? It's still a good score and it's telling a different story being told by different narrators in the same universe. That same concept can be applied here. It's a new trilogy with new narrators in the same universe. It's a smart marketing move if they want to use dubstep since it is a popular musical style. We have heard Halo 4 only having inspirations of dubstep in the actual game, as evident in that trailer's legitimate gameplay footage and other videos that are not trailers.Quote:

The Halo 4 Sphere is chasing the Infinity. Then the Chief chases after it. Does the sphere in The Prisoner chase after a massive spaceship for the same reasons? Does the protagonist then chase after that same sphere? My argument against that picture is that it does not supply proper context to accomplish your argument. You brought a knife to a gunfight and I want you to show me your gun (video of that scene).
We do not know if the Rover is the same as the Cryptum. We won't know until the game is out. However, according to the below sources and the video, the Rover was meant to keep people in The Village and the Cryptum was meant to hunt/chase down and destroy intruders perhaps.
