@2:06 there's an original fucking iPod :3 (you know, the ones with the track wheel)

edit:
Also, @7:10 there's video of Halo4 when it was in prototype stages back in 2010. The campaign action, but the map looks kinda like that Halo3 bridge map (you know, the one with the man cannons on each side). You can see the focus rifle's icon in the top right :3 (not saying I think it will be in-game, this prototype was back in the Reach days)

New enemy types, but not additional. The Flood are no more (as far as we know) and the Covenant are said to make only a relatively small appearance. Also the new enemies, while having new abilities and needing new tactics to take down, appear quite kill-able. I see no raeging at god-mode enemies in my future.

New weapons, but no real new weapon types. They fill familiar roles but are different enough from their counterparts to take on unique roles as well.

Halo has always been fairly on-rails, albeit with occasional massive environments. I see nothing different here.

Aesthetic choices are debatable, but given how we have so little information, it would be assume anything when we don't even know why things look the way they do. That being said, those Forerunner structures and weapons are looking really good. Still unsure about the neon orange though. On my Forerunner, I like the teal.

The raging doesn't happen until you turn on Legendary.

And more guns with no new weapon roles is not a good thing. It just means they are indecisive and are trying to cram everything they can into the game so certain people don't get butthurt. The DMR, Carbine, Battle Rifle, and Light Rifle are all pretty much the same gun. The only interesting one I've seen so far is the Scattershot because the shot ricochets around corners, but it's still just the shotgun by another name. And I actually feel like the Forerunner weapons look rather unimaginative...too much like a polygonal tube without much to break up the silhouette. But like I said, aesthetics are arguable depending on where you stand.

Also, lol Teek, all the ones that look the most like Gundams.

Think I got it fixed now, modacity doesnt like me using gifs apparently xP

[Cagerrin]

Even though I'll probably never play it, those animations in particular just sell the entire thing.

[Donut]

ive been staring at those gifs for a few minutes now. i wasnt sure at first, but i think i like it. ive never seen any first person animations with the weapon just scattered like that. it looks work in progressey though. im hoping theres like, some kind of energy particle effect to give the impression of the parts being pulled into place, because right now it kind of looks sloppy. interesting, but sloppy.

[Cagerrin]

Having energy particles would ruin it, though. As it is, it looks like the sort of wierd snappy motions you'd get if you tried to place magnets on a sheet of paper such that they all snapped into a shape when the final magnet's added.

Keep your fingers out of the gun while it's building itself or you'll lose something. :3
