Btw the top screen is in-game. Franky confirmed it. ^^^^^

That first one looks amazing.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Man, I can't wait until E3 where they according to logic should be demo'ing at least a part of a SP level.



I can see a fair number of people are disappointed Firefight isn't in the game, but personally I rarely played it (although it was quite good when I did) and I dislike how the games maps were split between firefight and matchmaking, meaning only half of the games' maps were accessible.

Maybe I've interpreted this bit wrong, but from the sounds of it all of Halo 4's multiplayer takes place on the Infinity. Really hope that is not the case, I like variety in map design.



I'm thinking that we will get one more ViDoc before E3. Could be more campaign-centric but I wouldn't be surprised if it was more about the multi. I mean here we are a few days from May already, E3 is only like 5 weeks from now. Time really does fly and it's not much more of a wait. Thinking about it now, we may not get anything until then but I want so badly to see more, now.

How does it being on Infinity limit the map variety?

 

Funny you bring up Firefight because I'm one of those people that don't care if it's left out but I played a bit of it last night to earn some credits and it was really, really fun. I still don't care though.

Variety in terms of aesthetics. Having all the maps set on a spaceship means they will all be visually the same. Personally preference maybe, but I like games that have varied designs in that respect.

The ship has an environment replicating deck. This means that there will be plenty of variety in aesthetics.





but this is only a virtual reality world for training on infinity right? so they could have snow, desert, huge trees and so on without a problem or did i get something wrong? that's why they train there, to prodcue different world to train in for all purposes. if it wouldn't be like that i would be hugely disappointed.

 

€dit: ok too late^^
