Here's a really good analysis of the Vidoc.

The most interesting thing this guy found was that the spartans were seemingly dying faster than normal. I wonder if Halo 4's shields are weaker? Not sure if I like that...

I didn't watch the breakdown yet but the thing that people need to keep on mind is that Halo has SOOOOO many different playlists. I can totally see a game type where the shields are weaker, maybe something between standard fare and SWAT. Perhaps this is the case in what's been shown.

 

This is a little off topic but I saw someone on GAF say that O'Connor is starting to look like a young Ballmer, I about pissed my pants.

 

Ok, I just watched the breakdown and I maintain that just about everything that this dude points out could easily be explained by the game type theory. Not to mention how early on in development this footage is probably from. 

Yes, I agree it could just be the gametype, but it's very possible that it is not. I don't think that a gametype with lowered shields would be called BR Slayer.

Good point but what about an MLG gametype called BR Slayer? And who says that's even a name of a gametype that's going to in the final game? Point is, I think it's too early to get carried away with this type of analysis, E3 vids ok but not so much now. I just don't see a lower shield gametype being the starting point, that's too far away from Halo IMO.
