WE ALREADY KNEW THAT M.U.G.E.N, WE HALO FANS READ THE HALO THREADS!

But because it's that fucking awesome picture, I'll forgive you and keep on loving you.

Woh there, Millenium! Don't go all Hulk on Poor MUGEN!

No... something's off with the cheif in that picture. He just looks..different. I don't like his artistic style in it. I hope they change his style in the official boxart for NA.

The rest of the picture is epic. It's very... gritty.


Strange, he looks less like a pile of skid marked cereal packets than he ever has before in that image. Then you go on to say you like the gritty surroundings. Master Chief will always be a generic packet of corn flakes to me but he looks like a good pack here.


I can't pinpoint the quality(ies) that seem off to me, but his armor just looks different (also looks like he has less armor on) and he looks so... nimble and agile and less like the tank he used to be. It just seems off from how I traditionally view the chief.

Yep, they changed the armor from what it was like in past games (and I really like it!). Also there's a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why it would change. Mljorner armour has nano-bots that repair and upgrade the suit of armour during cryo sleep, and the Chief has been in cryo for quite a long time. Likewise I believe I read somewhere that Cortana also upgraded his armour (probably by telling the nano-bots what to do for upgrades)

Please stop... I expect better of you. 360 game is a fucking 360 game.

Halo crossed console cycles before without needing a multi-console game, it will do so again.

I think he means that this might launch on the 720...



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I know... that's what I'm basically saying, Halo 4 will launch/release ONLY on the 360, not the Next-Box.

Edit:

Some clarification, this probably WILL release as a digital download the the Next-Box when it launches, but NOT as a retail box product. Unless it's some sort of uber Halo collection pack.

You know, I've been thinking about this actually and while I personally don't think the next Xbox will come out this year, it does seem plausible with what superchunk has said and how they are releasing it much later than normal (about the time a new console would come out)...normal for this gen of Halo's at least.
